Jose Portela: 'Creepy' man accused of masturbating in front of kids at public pool, report says
Updated On: Aug 08 2013 08:39:14 AM EDT
A Boca Raton man isn't denying having touched himself in front of kids at a public pool.
In fact, the arrest report suggests it was his reason for doing it that's just as unusual as the alleged crime itself.
MUGSHOTS: Who Got Arrested In South Florida?
Jose Portela, 79, is accused of touching himself at the Waterside Community Pool in Boca Raton one day last month.
The arrest report said he touched himself "on his genital area" while staring at several teenagers at the pool. It also said the man is known around the neighborhood as "a 'creepy' subject who always stares at and acts suspiciously around children at the pool."
In addition to accusations of staring, witnesses told police that Portela follows some children around, and when an officer did some digging, it was revealed that two girls -- ages 9 and 6 -- accused him of touching them inappropriately in 2011.
Witnesses shared cell-phone pictures and videos of Portela with the investigators, who confronted him at his home on July 15. During that interrogation, the suspect said the reason he was "fondling himself" at the pool was because "two girls were kissing and masturbating in front of him," the report said.
The officer told Portela that the two women were a woman and her teenage stepdaughter, and added that judging by the video the officer had watched, the two females were doing nothing of the sort.
Portela has been charged with lewd and lascivious exhibition.

Just wondering why it doesn't seem like anybody uses green bottles. A lot of my favorite imports come in green bottles and I have tons of them. I know the UV thing, but if I'm going from storage cabinet->fridge->belly, this shouldn't be a problem right?
I use Grolsch bottles for all my session beers. A case (12) of 16 oz. swing tops at the LBHS or online costs about 30 bucks. I can get 12 15.2 oz swing top Grolsch bottles for about 27, plus they come filled with a serviceable premium lager. Plus, the silicone gaskets on the Grolsch bottles last WAY longer than rubber gaskets if cleaned and maintained.
Yo, What's Wrong With The Beer We Got? I Mean the Beer we got drank pretty Good Don't It? I Ain't Never Heard nobody complain about the beer we have..... It Drank Pretty Good. Budweiser...What's the name of some of them other beers ?
I have plenty of empty green bottles, mostly regular capped ones. Just wondering if anyone has had any issues with using green glass?
i have never had a homebrew get skunked and i love the grolsch swingtops. they're pretty much always in rotation, hence, in a cool dark place. keep em out of the sun and i highly doubt that you'll have a problem using green glass.
Awesome. Because I much prefer buying bottles when they have beer in them. Thanks guys.
I think the brown bottles are a little more worry free and a bit better, all because of the UV thing, but I don't have anything against the greens. Just personal taste and minimizing risks.
I think the only real 'pro' you're going to find for green bottles is the fact that you have them. However, if you don't store your beer in a room with windows that let in sunlight or under constant UV light, there's no real 'con' either. I would guess that the main reason most people don't use green bottles is because they have enough brown bottles that they don't have to. I personally only have two green bottles and only use them if I don't have anything else left, but when I have to use them I don't hesitate to do so.
Con: dark beer in green bottles looks (IMO) ridiculous.
I have a large number of Grolsch bottles in rotation, but endeavour to only keep light coloured beer in them.

As far as I know it's just the UV issue. But stay away from twist off bottles.

Monsey family sues Pennsylvania's Camp Dora Golding, claiming they covered up the case of a counselor who molested their son
MONSEY - A Monsey family is suing a popular Orthodox Jewish summer camp in Pennsylvania, claiming the camp tried to cover up that a counselor molested their son.
The father says his 12-year-old son suffered at Camp Dora Golding and is not doing well now. He claims the 20-year-old Canadian counselor, Chisdau Ben Porath, touched his son inappropriately at the camp last summer. The civil suit claims the camp tried to cover the whole thing up.
Porath pleaded guilty in February to molesting the boy and was sentenced to between 5 and 23 months in county jail. The family's attorney, Brian Condon, says the camp's background checks for counselors are not good enough and Porath should never have been around children.

In a statement, Camp Dora Golding denies all the allegations in the lawsuit.

The folks at Roskino, who promote and sell Russian films abroad, know how to make you feel welcome in Moscow. While the French and others have mounted festivals and film programs in the U.S., Russia opted to bring the North Americans to Moscow and show them not only their best new undistributed films but their rich and storied culture.
As a reward for three days of 20 back-to-back Digital October Official Roskino Screenings (DOORS), many of which are yet to be released in Russia, morning TV star and Roskino CEO Catherine Mtsitouridze and her team took this gaggle of indies on a whirlwind tour. The whole trip was possible thanks to sponsor Aeroflot (which gave a 50 % discount on flights) and her connections with VIP, which coddles travelers through airports, the Baltschug Kempinski and St. Petersburg Astoria Hotels, as well as a selection of top restaurants.
After the Moscow work was done, the North Americans were treated to two days in St. Petersburg, complete with tours of the magnificent Hermitage Museum and Peterhof Palace, as well as a treat from the Mikailovsky Theatre: Tchaikovsky's "Sleeping Beauty" ballet, followed by a White Nights boat ride through the canals.
What did Roskino get out of it? Well, they're taking the show on the road to the Venice Film Festival. And they mounted a realistic and enlightening Summit on the challenges facing all foreign films back in North America, as well jump-starting the Americans' ongoing relationships with the Russian film community. For example, this group went home with a high opinion of actor-director Fedor Bondarchuk ("Ninth Company," a hit for Gravitas Ventures stateside) not only from his strong presence in two relatively commercial films, "Spy" and "Two Days," but his warm welcome on the dramatic battle-scarred set in the countryside outside St. Petersburg of his fourth film, the $27 million war drama "Stalingrad," which was in the midst of a fifteen-week film shoot. (More on that later, with photos.)
David Rubin, who is head of physical production for CBS Films, took a side trip to the gargantuan new $89-million studio Glavkino (part-owned by Bondarchuk), which is trying to rival Moscow's venerable Mosfilm, which hosted "Mission: Impossible--Ghost Protocol," and Czech studio Barrandov, where Russian film industry powerbroker Nikita Mikhalkov shot "Burnt by the Sun 2," Russia's official Oscar submission.
CBS Films is not looking to spend like the free-wheeling studios; at the DOORS Summit Rubin was interested in Russian co-productions, which make up the lion's share of Russian movies that land U.S. distribution, but agreed with others on the panel that finding partners you can trust is key; apparently, some Russian producers can be dodgy.

Fascinating current coverage and with great photos. There are massive volumes on Russian and Soviet film history, for those who want to venture there -- but this "junket" covers from "Putin to Mikhalkov" and recent political pressure promoting "Hayes" censorship strikes an ominous note.
alla verlotsky | June 29, 2012 11:21 AM
What a naive article to say the least..... a bit more knowledge and research about Russian film industry development and its relationship with Hollywood could of been helpful. This is not the first time around for Hollywood in Russia... very deja vous... Oh well.......
Sydney Levine | June 29, 2012 3:37 AM
Your two articles say it all. I was there as well and could not have included all of our ultra-busy schedule and all the intercultural and international business information we absorbed as well as you. Therefore, I will link to your blog when giving my own summation on SydneysBuzz. I was so glad to have been a part of organizing this groundbreaking event and to have seen and heard all that you describe. Great job Anne!

Merrimack police need help to ID men involved in Cinemagic fight
MERRIMACK — A scuffle involving two men in the lobby at Cinemagic was broken up by a third theater-goer who sprayed them with mace.
Now, police are asking for help in identifying the man who started the fight and the mace sprayer, both of whom left before officers arrived Friday night.
The fight started just before 11 p.m. A man involved in the incident told officers he confronted a white man after that man kicked one of his family members. The two scuffled and the man pinned the assailant to the floor, police said.
As the two were scuffling on the floor, another man came up and sprayed mace in both of their faces, breaking up the fight.
By the time police arrived, both the man with the mace and the man who allegedly kicked the family member were gone. Police believe one of the men may have left in a pickup truck with a utility box in its bed.
Anyone with information about the two individuals is asked to call police at 424-3774. To remain anonymous, call Merrimack Crimeline at 424-2424 or leave a tip online at Merrimackcrimeline.org. Crimeline awards cash in cases where an arrest is made based on information provided.

ALBANY, New York, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Transparency Market Research has released a new market report titled "Reinforced Plastics (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics, Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics, Aramid Fiber Reinforced Plastics and Others) Market for Automotive, Building & Construction, Aerospace & Aviation, Wind Energy, Marine, Electrical & Electronics and Other Applications - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019," which observes that the global reinforced plastics market demand was worth USD 8.42 billion in 2012 and is expected to reach USD 15.82 billion by 2019, expanding at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2013 to 2019.
Browse the full Reinforced Plastics Market Report at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/reinforced-plastics-market.html
Rising demand for automotives in Asia Pacific due to changing lifestyle and increasing disposable income is one of the major drivers for growth in the reinforced plastics market. Additionally, growing demand for reinforced plastics from the building & construction industry is boosting the reinforced plastics market. However, stringent government regulations in the U.S. and Europe regarding exposure limits for raw materials are anticipated to hamper market growth.
The global reinforced plastics market was dominated by North America due to high demand from the building & construction industry. North America accounted for 35.0% of the global reinforced plastics market in 2012. Stringent regulations in Europe to reduce CO2 emissions in vehicles are driving the market for reinforced plastics. Usage of reinforced plastics reduces the weight of the vehicle by up to 50%. This, in turn, would lead to less consumption of fuel, thereby lowering CO2 emissions. The market in Asia Pacific is projected to reach USD 4.73 billion by 2019.
Automotive emerged as the largest application of the reinforced plastics market in 2012. Rising demand for reinforced plastics in automobiles is due to its usage in the manufacture of various parts of vehicles. The building & construction application segment is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2013 to 2019. Usage of reinforced plastics in printed circuit boards forms the major part of the electrical & electronics application. Among all the applications, the marine application is likely to expand at the lowest CAGR between 2013 and 2019.
Glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) was the largest product segment in the global reinforced plastics market in 2012. Due to low cost and easy availability, GFRP is the most widely used among the applications. Carbon fiber reinforced plastics is gaining demand from wind energy application and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% from 2013 to 2019. Other fiber-reinforced plastics include metal, graphite and natural fibers. These accounted for 5.5% of the market in 2012.
Related & Recently Published Reports by Transparency Market Research
The global reinforced plastics market is fragmented with no clear leader. Many small China-based players operate in the market. Key market players include BASF SE, Celanese, Huntsman Corporation, DuPont, PPG Industries, Binani Industries, Ahlstrom, Haysite Reinforced Plastics, Solvay and Kemrock Industries.
This report segments the global reinforced plastics market as follows:

Give your home some warmth with candles this winter
Updated 8:31am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in Leisure latest news By Indra Wignall, Fashion and Games blogger
Candles are a great way to warm up those cold, rainy nights and these days there is an amazing selection available, writes fashion blogger Indra Wignall.
Gone are the days of poking around in New Age shops for floating candles to gather dust in a bowl; candles are very much 'in'.
Both the internet and your local supermarket stock a wide range of brands, sizes and scents to suit all tastes.
Brands to look out for are Yankee Candle, Jo Malone and Wax Lyrical, however the overall quality of candles has improved in recent years so 'own brands' are worth a try too.
If you fancy something a bit different, or a last minute Valentine's gift, check out imperialcandles.co.uk or jewelcandle.co.uk.
These sites offer high quality candles with beautiful pieces jewellery inside.

I am appalled that the Miami Herald accepted an advertisement from a gun store in Fort Lauderdale. I was sitting at our kitchen counter with my 4-year-old daughter, sorting out the Sunday paper when the flier fell out.

YMCA reopens pools
AFTER being closed for approximately three months to facilitate the restoration and upgrading of its pools and changing rooms, the Kingston YMCA's swimming programme is now back in full operation following the official reopening and dedication ceremony last Wednesday.
The YMCA, which has been in operation since the 1920s, is nationally known for its excellent swimming programme; and the facilities were greatly in need of restoration. Now with a well refurbished swimming area, Arnold Aiken, chairman of the Kingston YMCA, said funding support from external organisations has resulted in the restoration of the pools and upgraded changing rooms, which will help to foster the talents of young and upcoming swimmers.
"We knew the pools had reached a point where they needed to be renovated; and, therefore, we decided to send out a call for financial support to accomplish the project. I am happy to say that many civic minded companies and organisation responded to our call; and their contributions have made the project possible," he said.
The renovation work cost approximately $6.6 million, and the Jamaica National Building Society (JNBS) Foundation contributed funds to cover approximately 70 per cent of the cost.
While commending the JNBS Foundation, Aiken also expressed the association's gratitude to other sponsors, which included Burger King, the Sports Development Foundation and LIME.
Julian Robinson, member of parliament for South East St Andrew, while pledging his support to ensure that the 'Y' remains the premiere institution for swimming and other vocational services, said the restoration of the swimming facilities will assist with the development of local swimmers.
"We have the talent here for swimming to become as highly recognised as track and field; but, a part of the challenge is that pools are not readily accessible to the majority of Jamaicans. If children are not exposed at a very young age to proper swimming techniques and receive consistent training, then they won't develop into top-class swimmers," the MP stated.
He also pointed out that an institution such as the 'Y' provides an opportunity for youngsters to at least learn the basics of swimming at an early age; and progressively nurture their talent.
Guest Speaker, Parris Lyew-Ayee, JNBS Foundation Board Director, implored schools to include swimming as part of their curriculum, noting that swimming goes beyond simply being a physical activity.
"Separate and apart from being a recreational activity, swimming is perhaps one of the only sports that teaches survival skills, which children can develop even before they can actually walk or talk. The skills gained in being confident in water will never leave you; and, at some point, they will become useful, as one progresses through life," he noted.
As of May 14 swimming classes resumed at the YMCA; and students from approximately 29 schools will return to continue their lessons.

The English Camp barracks was originally used as the privates' mess until extended in 1867. During the restoration process in the early 1970's a pot of gold coins and currency was found in the attic. The treasure belonged to the Crook family, who settled on the site in 1875.

There must be a lot of luck in Fountain Hills. For the second time in a year, a store there has sold a winning lottery ticket.
The latest winner is a $1 million ticket, sold at a Circle K on Shea Boulevard. The winning numbers were 26 – 30 – 49 – 51 – 54 PB 25.
The winner came forward Tuesday. His name is Lance Johns, of Fountain Hills. He declined to participate in interviews.
"We are thrilled that Arizona has claimed another second prize Powerball win and it is even more exciting that another big winning ticket was sold in Fountain Hills," said Karen Bach, director of budget, products, and communications for the Arizona Lottery. "We look forward to meeting the winner and presenting them with their check."
In November, a Four Sons convenience store in Fountain Hills sold a winning ticket in the record-breaking Powerball jackpot.
This is the sixteenth $1 million Powerball second prize winning ticket sold in Arizona since $2 Powerball launched in January 2012.

Surely you have had to deal with the agony of having…
Source: received for testing via the Trailspace Review Corps (Sample provided by Sierra Designs for testing and review)
Surely you have had to deal with the agony of having to crawl out of your warm sleeping bag when it is freezing cold out. Nobody likes it! Sierra Designs has come up with a solution for it by creating one of the most innovative new sleeping bags on the market, The Mobile Mummy.
It is a garment style sleeping bag that you can wear while you walk around camp and use your arms to read, eat, or drink a beverage while in your tent. While it isn't the first sleeping bag with arm and leg ports, it is certainly the most well designed one that I have seen.
Weighing in at 2 lb 7 oz, this women's specific version is packed with over 23 oz of lofty 800 fill Dridown. It is rated to a comfort level of 20 degrees and a lower limit of 7 degrees.
- You can walk and have full use of your arms while wearing it
- Save weight in your pack because you don't have to bring a jacket
- Very warm
- Very comfortable
- Stylish — looks great while wearing it
- Women's length is short; Max user height is 5'8"
- No pockets
Hate being stuck in your tent because it is too cold to leave your sleeping bag? The folks at Sierra Designs did too, so they created the Mobile Mummy to solve this problem.
No more mummy bag confinement — do whatever you want in the Mobile Mummy:
Throw frisbee
Hike the Appalachian Trail - or just walk around in your campsite
You name it, you can do it in the Mobile Mummy.
About the tester: I am a 5'4" 30 year old female backpacker from South Carolina. I typically day hike and backpack in the southern Appalachian Mountains, primarily in North Carolina. My backpacking style is comfort-driven. I am not afraid to carry an item that is a few more ounces if it means it will be more comfortable. I prefer big tents, warm and roomy sleeping bags, plush sleeping pads, and packs with very comfortable waist belts and shoulder pads. In other words, "roughing it" is not my style.
Testing Conditions:
I was able to test the 3 season Mobile Mummy on three different occasions. The first night that I tested it, the temperature got down to around 20-25 degrees. I was wearing my SmartWool Midweight Pattern Zip-T and Bottoms and dry SmartWoolPhD Outdoor Light Crew Socks, I slept very comfortably at that temperature. I think I could have slept comfortably down to 15 degrees and maybe even colder with a down jacket on. I also wore it around camp that night, but a down jacket was definitely necessary underneath.
I also wore it outside in Jackson, Wyoming, when I was there in March. It was 20 degrees out and I was very comfortable walking around in it. I do have to note that 20 degrees in Wyoming is a whole lot different than 20 degrees in the south because of the difference in humidity. I know I could comfortably take this to 15-20 in the south, but in other parts of the country (or world) where the humidity is lower, you could probably take the bag way lower than 20 degrees.
I also slept in it at around 30-35 degrees (wearing a synthetic l/s shirt and synthetic pants) and was toasty enough to open the vents. I kept my arms out of the ports for a little while, but they eventually got too chilly, so I slid them back into the bag.
Each time, I slept on the Big Agnes Insulated Q-Core pad. If I am able to keep the Mobile Mummy for extended testing, I will update with more cold weather testing data when winter comes back around.
About the bag:
Sierra Designs has recently revamped their line of sleeping bags. The three main new ones are the Mobile Mummy, the Backcountry Bed, and the Backcountry Quilt. There are several different variations of the Mobile Mummy bag: Men's 2 season (EN rating: 39, 29) and 3 season (EN rating: 27, 16) and Women's 2 season (En rating: 31, 20) and 3 season (EN rating: 20, 7).
I was sent both of the Women's bags to test. Here is my review of the Women's 2 Season Mobile Mummy. They are both warm past their temperature rating and stuffed with more down than competitive bags for their temperature ratings. Both of these bags stand out from all other bags because you can walk and use your arms while you stay incredibly warm.
Both bags have tremendous amounts of down fill. They both have 58" two-way zipper allows for venting whenever and wherever you want it. They also both have jacket style hoods with 12 baffles full of down, footboxes with 8" of loft, draft tubes lining the zippers and arm ports and super lofty draft collars around the neck. Of the two, the 2 Season bag has a little bit more room in the bag. You have more shoulder range of motion in the 2 Season bag, as well. It is not stuffed with quite as much down as the 3 Season bag.
The size and shape of the Mobile Mummy allows you to comfortably sleep in almost any position you'd like. The leg area has enough room for you to bend your knees while side sleeping, stomach sleeping, or back sleeping.
The Mobile Mummy is also designed to move with you. Whether you are wearing it or sleeping in it, it moves with your body. In typical sleeping bags, you roll around in your bag. In the Mobile Mummy, the bag actually rolls with you because it is a garment style bag that fits close to your body.
As you can see here, you can even bend you knees while stomach sleeping in the Mobile Mummy.
Who would use it? :
I think that the Mobile Mummy is great for backpackers because it gives you the option of leaving a jacket at home and ensures that you will always be warm around camp and in your tent or hammock.
Can't get a fire started when its cold out? No problem! Be the envy of your fellow campers and wear the Mobile Mummy around your campsite.
The Mobile Mummy should also be a huge hit with climbers and climbers who bivouac. I often see pictures of climbers bivouacking and they are halfway in their bags, sitting upright, cooking or eating. Imagine how much the Mobile Mummy would improve the quality of their camping, not only because they could wear their sleeping bags, but also because the bag is filled with water-resistant DriDown. I am not a climber, but I can tell you that if I were suspended on a big wall in a bivouac shelter, the Mobile Mummy would be my bag of choice.
EN Lower limit: 7 degrees
EN Comfort: 20 degrees
Weight: 2 lb 7 oz
20 Denier Ripstop Nylon Exterior
20 Denier Nylon Taffeta Liner
800-fill water resistant duck DriDown
23.21 ounces down fill
The Mobile Mummy is thermally efficient because it has a very high concentration of down stuffed into a shorter than average bag. Of the 39 ounces that this bag weighs, 23 of them are down fill. In fact, the Women's 3 Season Mobile Mummy has 2 ounces more down than the Men's 3 Season Mobile Mummy long version that is meant to fit a 6'6" person. It has lofty draft tubes that line the neck, arm ports, and zipper. It also has more down in the areas where you need it most, the hood and footbox. I was comfortable in the bag at 20 degrees. It is rated to 7 degrees for the lower limit and I believe it!
I have not noticed any cold spots whatsoever in this bag. The cold spots that I've seen in other sleeping bags (esp U.L. mummy bags) is where there is a lack of down. The Mobile Mummy is packed full of down all over, so I can't see how it would be susceptible to cold spots with all that down. When you lift it up and look at it through the light, you do not see any bare spots. During the testing phase, I only noticed a couple of feathers leak out.
When you exit other sleeping bags in the night, you expose it to cold air and your warm body heat leaves the bag. When you are wearing the Mobile Mummy, your backcountry bed is always warm because you never have to get out of it.
The Mobile Mummy has the best venting options I have ever seen in a sleeping bag. The 58" two-way zipper can be unzipped completely (from the inside or outside), or as much as you'd like from the top or bottom. You can also pop one or both legs out. The Mobile Mummy also has arm ports, where you can pop your arms out of the bag easily at any time for additional venting. The top can also be unzipped to allow as much air in (and extra neck room) as you'd like.
Fit & Comfort:
The Mobile Mummy is very comfortable and fits my 5'4" frame very well. There is no gapping in the shoulders when you are wearing it because it fits like a jacket.
The hood fits snugly and comfortably.
The bag is also very comfortable due to the amount of leg and shoulder room. The shoulder width is 60", the hip width is 56", and the foot width is 36". The only gripes that I have about the bag's fit is the actual length of the bag, which is 74", and the neck area is a little cramped with the burly draft collar.
The footbox is sort of cramped lengthwise, (not width or height of the footbox). My toes hit the end of the bag any time I point them (which I often do when sleeping on my stomach). This is a cause for concern for me, because it could lead to cold spots from your feet pressing the insulation against the end of the bag. It does not have any noticeable cold spots at this time, but I wonder if it would after extended use. I will add that for a 5'4" female, I do have rather long feet (I wear a size 8.5-9 shoe).
Entry & Exit:
You can enter the bag a couple of different ways. Step into it or slip it over your head to wear it as a garment or unzip it down the front and slide into it if you are sitting or sleeping in your bed.
Exiting the bag is also simple. You can slide your arms out of the ports, unzip the front as far as needed and step out or you can unzip the bottom, toggle it at the waist, and then walk around wherever you need to go.
This bag allows full range of motion of the arms and legs. You can do virtually anything in this sleeping bag that you could in a jacket and pants.You can cook, eat, drink a beverage, read, set up or pack up camp, and most importantly sleep comfortably. In case you are wondering, you can definitely get in and out of a hammock in the bag, as well. I will add those pictures tomorrow.
Full range of motion
The Mobile Mummy is comprised of 800 Fill DriDown, which is regular down treated with a molecular level polymer to create a hydrophobic finish on each individual down plume. This finish allows DriDown to stay dry longer, loft better, and dry faster than regular down, keeping you warmer in any environment. As untreated down gets wet, it loses loft and therefore loses its ability to insulate.
DriDown helps eliminate this problem. DriDown stays dry 10-times longer than untreated down. DriDown retains 170% more loft than untreated down when exposed to moisture and humidity. DriDown dries 33% faster than untreated down.
*Third-party testing conducted by California Down and Feather Testing Laboratory
I was not able to get any condensation on the bag, so I misted it with a hose at home to my estimation of how much condensation the bag could get on it. I didn't completely drench the bag, but I made sure I sprayed it enough to get the feathers inside good and wet to simulate real condensation.
Here, the bag is wet, but maintained its loft. I wore it for a while and noticed that I could feel the temperature of the water, but my body was still warm. It dried very quickly. I obviously can't say exactly how fast it was completely dry, but after about 30 minutes it wasn't noticeably wet anymore. The 3 Season bag took a little longer to dry than the 2 Season bag in my testing. I am not sure if it is because there is more down fill in there to dry or if it is because I sprayed more water on the 3 Season bag. I did make a conscious effort to spray the same amount.
Many bags on the market today use a water-resistant Pertex shell and or DWR treatment. This shell is not very water-resistant because the water soaked through pretty easily. This is not a flaw of the bag, because it does not claim to be water-resistant as a whole, just the DriDown insulation.
The Mobile Mummy packs down very small in an after market compression sack. There isn't a really noticeable difference between the packability of the Mobile Mummy and my other twenty degree mummy bag, the Montbell U.L. Spiral Down Hugger #1.
The Mobile Mummy is naturally very lofty.
The lofty Mobile Mummy, fresh out of a compression sack
The body of the bag has 6" of loft and the footbox has 8".
I think the Mobile Mummy is very stylish because of its jacket style fit and the beautiful colors it comes in. It looks great! I think it does look a little goofy with the hood on, but who cares? It is SO warm!
The Mobile Mummy isn't just a sleeping bag, it is a fashion statement!
The jacket style hood has no toggles or itchy velcro tabs. It has a very comfortable elastic band that adjusts to the size of your head and fits your face exactly as a hood with toggles would, except that you don't feel the pressure of the cords and don't have to deal with rolling over on toggles. As an extension of the hood, the neck also has a specialized cut and is jam packed with down.
Hood and draft collar
It's no wonder the hood is so warm, it has twelve baffles!
Zipperless Arm Ports with Draft Curtains:
My favorite feature of the Mobile Mummy is its zipperless arm ports, which are about 12" long.
Here you can see the "draft curtains", which seal in your body heat so that no drafts come into the bag.
Arm ports allow full range of motion
The arm ports seal by pressing your elbows out toward the edge of the bag. I was suspect of this initially, but after testing it I realized that they truly do not let any air in.
Draft Prevention System:
The Mobile Mummy has a Draft Prevention System that includes a draft tube that runs the length of the 58" zipper and has anti-snag stiffened zipper backing, a plush draft collar around the neck, and the draft curtains in the arm ports.
The two-way zipper zips and unzips very smoothly and rarely catches, due to the anti-snag backing.
Two-Way YKK Zipper:
The Mobile Mummy features a 58" two-way zipper that zips up the front center of the bag. You can zip or unzip it from the inside or outside. This makes entry and exit of this bag a breeze. It is also great because it provides multiple venting options, which are far superior to standard sleeping bags.
The zipper stops about 12" from the bottom of the bag.
The 20 denier ripstop nylon shell paired with the comfy 20 denier taffeta lining are the perfect combo for this bag. The ripstop nylon is tough enough to survive outside of the tent without having to be babied too much. I would not recommend sitting near a fire with it on, but you would not need to anyway because it is so warm.
Stowable Footbox:
The stowable footbox attaches by a set of toggles on the bottom of the bag and loops midway up the bag.
Here you can see the loft of the footbox and the toggles that double as hang loops for your bag.
Storage Sacks:
The Sierra Designs Women's Mobile Mummy 3 Season is a great bag for shorter ladies who are active in their campsites and don't like to be confined to their sleeping bag when it is cold out. The only things that I would change would be to add a little more length and add pockets on the front of the bag.
I recommend this bag because it has been a game changer for the quality of my camp life. I will never be able to use another sleeping bag without wishing that I had full use of my arms. I gave the Mobile Mummy a 5-star rating because of its stellar design, comfort, and because of its impressive temperature range. I expect to start seeing these all over the trail very soon.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review of the Sierra Designs Women's Mobile Mummy 3 Season sleeping bag. Thank you to Sierra Designs and Trailspace for giving me the opportunity to test and review this awesome bag.
Nice review. But if I were to encounter you hiking along or playing frisbee in this thing, I would probably make fun of you. :P

@ Alicia, thanks! I made some better handstands, but this was the best picture. @ Goose, thanks! Yeah, I definitely got some funny looks and laughs from fellow hikers, but they also said it was awesome! I am cold all the time, so it was really convenient to be able to wear it in my tent and around camp.

As someone who is also cold whenever they are standing or sitting around, I'd probably be a bit envious of your warmth (after doing "the what is that?" double-take).

Nice review! Looks cozy. However, I would be a little hesitant to start/be around a fire while wearing this thing. One rouge spark and now you have a hole in both your sleeping bag and jacket. Ouch! Also, I really hope they don't sell a white-colored one of these. Did someone say, Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (Ghostbusters)?

@Alicia, it is really nice to be warm all night around camp along with having your bag preheated instead of coming back to your cold sleeping bag that needs heating up. @KiwiKlimber, thank you! I would never sit near a fire in this bag. The beauty of the Mobile Mummy is that you will be so warm wearing it that you don't have to sit by a fire (bonus - it supports Leave No Trace ideals by eliminating the need for a campfire). Thankfully, Sierra Designs does not offer a white version of the MM. The colors it is available in are really nice, though.

One of the most thorough and enthusiastic reviews I have read yet! Silly looks aside it does look pretty darn useful.

This reminds me of the Poler Napsack that seems to be very popular. I think the Poler weighs more though, and is only rated to 50 degrees. But, the Poler version is cheaper and I guess you can Instagram the "Camp Vibes" hashtag to legitmize your hipster status. Great review!

Where to Buy
Manufacturer's Description refers to the men's version

For added mobility, a stowable footbox can be tucked up and toggled, allowing you to walk around. A centered, front zipper is easier and more natural to operate while dual zipper sliders allow venting from the top or bottom.
A jacket-style hood and garment-style shoulders give a natural fit, creating a more comfortable bag that moves with you while you sleep, sit up, or walk around. 800-fill DriDown insulation is light, compressible, and warm, even in damp, humid conditions.

You greet those chilly mornings while you're camping like a mummy coming out of a coffin, as slow as death itself. But instead of dirty toilet paper wrapped around you, you have the Sierra Designs Mobile Mummy 800 Sleeping Bag keeping you nice and toasty while you make breakfast. All you need to do is push your arms through the zipperless armports and slide your feet through the center-two way zipper. Then attach the footbox to the bag just above your knees so it doesn't drag on the ground while you walk around. You don't have to worry about cold drafts seeping through the zipperless armports while you're sleeping because they prevent air from coming in and out. Stuffed with 800-fill duck down insulation, this bag is light enough for backpacking trips and warm enough for temperatures as low as 15F, and Sierra Designs added its proprietary DriDown treatment to the down for water-resistant protection that helps keep you dry if it's misting out as you're making breakfast all bundled up. The Mobile Mummy's unique design also lets you sleep on your side and stomach as well as your back. Sierra Designs made the shell out of ripstop for durability that remains lightweight, and the liner out of taffeta to keep you nice and cozy all night long. When you're up and about in this bag, its design makes sure the bag rests on your shoulders like a jacket instead of falling uncomfortably on your head.

5 out of 5 stars Sculptra
Best Thing Ever...- Tampa, FL
He's the best.. I've had several procedures by this doctor and I cannot say enough about his skill and his bedside manner. He has only done what's best for me. I think he does the best breast implants I've ever seen too...

Getting Ready for the Big 4-0! - Florida
I'm not really ready to recommend him or not. We'll see how it turns out.
Updated on 19 Jun 2012:
Dr. Marcadis did an excellent job on my tummy tuck and implants. I had a very easy recovery, no complications, no drains and my scars are minimal. But he doesn't really talk that much to you. He has his idea of what to do and goes with that, not very good at explaining or listening. Example- I wanted my tummy scar very low as I have a short waist. And I even said to him to see where my underwear goes and if he needed to do a small vertical scar to get the incision lower, that was ok. But he didn't feel it was needed. My scar is visible in low rise jeans and most bikinis. Also, after a breast biopsy, I had hardening in one implant and felt that the other one fell too much. But when I went to see him, he didn't see the problem. I'm going to be having a breast revision in a few months and I won't go back to Dr. Marcadis simply because I want a doctor who listens more to what I want, not just what he thinks is best.

Dr. Marcadis is GREAT! - Tampa, FL

35 Years Old, 4 Kids (One Set of Twins), Let's Do This! Tampa, FL
I lovvvvve my results with Dr. Marcadis. I went in for a breast reduction and lift , and a full tummy tuck with lipo to flanks and arms (where that fat hangs out of your tank too). I was worried based on other reviews that said he was arrogant but I find him to be absolutely nothing but caring, concerned, knowledgeable and sweet. There is a fine line between cocky and confident. He is just very confident and knows his stuff. He will tell you the truth, even if you don't like it. When I called him post surgery bc I was scared of an issue he returned my weekend called promptly, followed up a second time via email on a Sunday and then saw me without delay the next day. He does expect a lot from his patient as far as bucking up and getting back on the saddle... Which I think everyone heals different. But he does it in a caring dad way.... Too bad I don't listen to my dad! Haha. My tummy is beautiful now , I think! It's better than it was even before babies! And what he did to minimize my K cup breasts into beautiful DD cup breasts is amazing. I love my new size and shape. I highly recommend him. He is not big on pain meds and doesn't seem big on holistic either... He says the body needs none of these and will heal itself. So if pain meds are a top priority for you, i would look else where. But if you want a beautiful shape and talent, caring doctor , Dr. Marcadis is wonderful in my opinion. I interviewed 6 doctors total and felt best with him.

Great Surgeon, Great Staff! - Tampa, FL
I am from Miami, FL and drove up to Tampa just to get my surgery done with Dr. Marcadis! He and his staff are such amazing people. I did not suffer from any extreme pain and was already out the day after my breast augmentation. I could not be happier with my results!

If you're wondering why more major tournaments haven't been held on Bull Shoals over the years, maybe it's because the fishing has traditionally been pretty bad. In the six previous B.A.S.S. events here, the average fish weighed less than 1.75 pounds. That's pretty small! To make matters worse, few of them were being caught! That's all changed this week, when the average bass has weighed 2.77 pounds — more than a pound above the historical Bull Shoals average! and almost everyone is catching a limit. The bassing average over the first three days has been a remarkable 4.96 out of a possible 5.00. Bull Shoals is better than ever — or at least the best its been since the heydays right after it was impounded in 1951.
If the Elite season ended after Day Three of the Bull Shoals event, your Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year would be ... wait for it ... drum roll please ... Brent Chapman, in a landslide! Chapman would have 285 points on the strength of three consecutive top six finishes. The runner-up would be Randy Howell with 263. Skeet Reese would be 6th and Kevin VanDam 7th.
The flippin' technique was born on the California Delta but was introduced to the rest of the world when its inventor, Dee Thomas, won the 1975 Arkansas Invitational on Bull Shoals Reservoir. It was the first BASS event ever held on Bull Shoals.
This year's Elite event marks BASS' seventh professional tournament on Bull Shoals Reservoir and the first since a WBT event in 2006. It's been more than 20 years (1991) since the top BASS pros competed there. That event (the 1991 Arkansas Bassmaster Top 100) was won by Ron Shuffield.
This year's Elite event marks B.A.S.S.' seventh professional tournament on Bull Shoals Reservoir.
Eleven years ago, a California pharmacist caught the biggest spotted bass anyone's ever seen. Here's how he did it.
In the early 1970s, Steve Porter realized that bigger spinnerbait blades would better mimic the big baitfish lunker bass wanted. He changed the way we think of spinnerbaits today.
If you're one of the 50 recent winners of B.A.S.S. Fantasy Fishing presented by Toyota Trucks, your fantasy life is pretty rich.
History can get murky. Here's the real scoop on the Okeechobee Big-Blade spinnerbait.
Rapid growth patterns and the genetic ability to reach 20 pounds are just a couple of things that keep Florida bass in demand.

5 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks
Telefonica Brasil S.ADividend Yield: 5.80%Telefonica Brasil S.A (NYSE:VIV) shares currently have a dividend yield of 5.80%. Telefonica Brasil S.A. provides fixed-line telecommunications services to residential and commercial customers in Brazil. The company has a P/E ratio of 6.48.The average volume for Telefonica Brasil S.A has been 1,145,600 shares per day over the past 30 days. Telefonica Brasil S.A has a market cap of $29.9 billion and is part of the telecommunications industry. Shares are up 10.3% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday.TheStreet Ratings rates Telefonica Brasil S.A as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had somewhat weak growth in earnings per share.Highlights from the ratings report include:
- VIV's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.18 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.13, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The gross profit margin for TELEFONICA BRASIL SA is currently very high, coming in at 85.20%. It has increased significantly from the same period last year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 16.67% is above that of the industry average.
- VIV, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 2.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 6.6%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
