It's a wonderful night for a moon dance, what are you gonna wear? Slimmer than a typical TNF puffy, but still toasty warm, The North Face Aconcagua Jacket for women has style and warmth to share this season. Take advantage of its generosity and wrap yourself in lightweight, cozy 550-fill down insulation. The outer fabric is a classy satin nylon with a DWR finish that will resist snowflakes, snowballs and the occasional snowmelt drip from a roofline. Inside is a smooth nylon liner that slides on easily over sweaters and fleeces and helps wick moisture if you get a little warm on that moonlit walk. This down coat is zip-in compatible with same-size North Face shell jackets, making the perfect combo of weatherproof and warm for a day on the slopes.
This lightweight winter jacket has a collar lined with soft brushed fabric to give you something to snuggle against that won't chafe your chin when you have it zipped up all the way and the hem has a drawcord to seal out cold drafts and snow. Two zippered handwarmer pockets give you a secure place to store small essentials. That walk home after the holiday party is about to get a whole lot cozier. Is it the women's North Face Aconcagua Jacket or that rugged, Nuptse-sporting climber you just met?
Note: this jacket does not have an internal zippered stash pocket as seen in the video. It only has 2 zippered handwarmer pockets.

Quality Jacket!
February 26, 2012
I am 5' 2", almost 130 lbs, and have a petite torso. I usually wear xs for pants and shirts, and I bought the navy aconcagua jacket in xs. It fits very well in the arms lengthwise and in the torso widthwise, but I would have preferred it to be two inches longer in length. The jacket is all-around awesome. Looks sharp (picture on this site was very accurate). Breathes quality from the moment you put it on and warms very efficiently. Perfect for snow sports and performance use as well as running errands. LOVE this jacket so much. Would definitely recommend, even at the high original price. The North Face does it again.Pros: Build quality, Great value, Lasts forever, Performance, Cons: slightly short in overall length
north face coat
January 21, 2012
the jacket is ok i thought it would have been thicker then it look's online .the jacket keep her warm as long as she were something under it .i still would like to another for my other daughter i would just have to buy a sweater to put under it THANKS YOUPros: Great design, Cons: Cost
Good Buy
November 17, 2012
Overall this coat is a good fit (I am 5' 1" and 104 lbs). I purchased a size small in black. The coat allows for additional room for sweater/sweatshirt if needed. I am always cold and I find with this coat I do not seem to be looking for additional layering. NJ has seen 30 degree temperatures already this year. Bought the coat on sale for a good price! Hope you are all as lucky!Pros: Great design, Great value
Love this Jacket!
May 06, 2011
Warmth, without all the bulk. Bought this jacket as an extra layer for a backpacking trip, but it is so nice, I am going to save it for everday use! I am 5'9" and I am very happy with the length of the sleeves and torso.
Good jacket
September 18, 2012
Good quality jacket, colors look nice. It is not as fluffy as shown on the pictures. Would like it to be longer in length. Not sure on the warmth now. Will test it in the cold weather during the winter.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value
So happy I made this purchase!
October 05, 2012
I got this coat and am so glad I made the purchase! I bought the coat in red and LOVE IT! Shipping was fast too. I can't wait for the cooler weather to wear my new coat
love NF!
April 22, 2011
This jacket is very warm. A good alternative for spring fall in MN. It is a little bit stiff when you first put it on. My daughters jacket that is the same brand is a slightly different color and is softer.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use
Great purchase
December 27, 2012
I purchased the coat for my 16 year old daughter and it fits perfect. I wanted it because she needed a winter coat and she wanted it for the fashion. I think we both won. It is very warm and we are both satisfied.
Love this jacket
February 21, 2012
Looked for this jacket at a couple different places, after seeing it during Christmas but not being able to get it. I was impressed with the price and the shipping was super fast! This is such a cute coat. It's not too puffy or overly warm. Can be worn alone or with a hoodie underneath. Very happy with my purchase:)Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value
This down coat is perfect for winter in Boston
December 07, 2012
This coat is very stylish and warm, my daughter picked the white color, a little bit easy to get stained, 5 feet 3 inches, size M fits her waist very well, the sleeves are little bit too long, cover the hands, too.Pros: Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
February 15, 2012
This coat is so warm! I live where it gets to below 0 and the wind blows hard. This coat kept me toasty warm! The fabric is a great wind break! It is not heavy or bulky and the color is beautiful!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Nice jacket, disappointing color
January 06, 2011
The jacket seemed warm and fit well. However, I ordered the retro pink and it was borderline red to me, so I returned it. Is also wasn't very long in the back.
Only coat you'll EVER need
November 14, 2012
This coat is by far the best coat ever, so my mother keeps telling me, the fit is perfect, it's warm, snug and you can move in it perfectly. This coat is a perfect 10/10 and I definitely recommend it.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
February 09, 2011
Love the jacket. Usually Northface items tend to run small however the sizing on this jackets seems to run a little larger. Usually I am a small but have to order Medium in Northface ... I could have stuck to the small on this jacket as the medium is very roomy!
Great Purchase
February 11, 2011
I have wanted to purchase this coat for a while now. I am so glad I did because it is warm, comfy and looks great on. It runs a little small but, overall it is a great purchase at a great price.
Love it!
December 29, 2010
This coat is so cute and very warm for our Wisconsin winters. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the retro pink color as well. I was afraid that it would be to bright but it's a nice cross between red and pink without being to loud. As always The Northface quality is supurb. Thinking about getting it in additional colors I love it so much.
Best Winter Coat Ever
December 05, 2010
Every time I wear this coat, I get compliments on it! It is gorgeous! It is the warmest winter coat I have ever purchased, but it is not bulky. I bought the white jacket, so obviously it tends to get dirty. However, it washes clean every time and the durability of the coat has more than held up. Some of the Women's North Face products tend to run short in the torso, but this jacket fits very well. I am about 5'4" and purchased a medium, and it fits perfectly! If you are looking for a great gift for your wife or teenage daughter, this is it.
Not too thick, just right!
February 17, 2010
Best jacket! Purchased to wear in New York!! Was just perfect, and also has an inside pocket great for gloves, hat etc. Great company ships fast.
Love this Jacket!

A jacket you'll love to wear
February 26, 2011
This is a beautiful and stylish down jacket. Well designed and well made. I am 5"7, weigh 140 pounds and the medium fits me well with room for a sweater. Finally a coat with arms long enough. The pockets are roomy, lay flat and the zippers are high quality! The color is a deep plum burgandy with a shiny satin finish that makes it dresser than most down jackets. The shipping was excellent, arrived in 2 days and the coat was exactly as described. I would highly recommend both the jacket and Altrec.
October 28, 2010
Excellent jacket...stylish, feminine but functional! Pretty color and well constructed!
Great winter staple!
January 28, 2011
I bought this jacket for me daughter and find myself stealing it from her! This is a very sleek and warm jacket! Perfect for traveling, as it is very light. My daughter is 11 and is around 5 ft. This jacket is a great fit for her...very true to most North Face sizes. You will not be sorry for ordering this jacket!
Love it
January 12, 2012
I love my new purple jacket! It is very warm. I was a little concerned because it was sealed and shipped and so it wasnt very fluffy when it first arrived but after a few wears and an air fluff in the dryer it is now very puffy. The fit is nice and I get compliments on it all the time! I definitely recommend this jacket to anyone who wants a warm and stylish jacket! I love north face product and will continue to buy from AltrecPros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever
Great find!!
July 11, 2011
love it:) will buy lots more stuff from this site!! Not loving that I have to write more, but I love the color and fit of this jacket and bought super cute nf boots to go with it:)Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value
Nice Jacket
February 17, 2010
The jacket is great. I have quite a few North Face jackets, but I wanted one that was a little dressier for jeans and casual pants...Love it.
best coat ever
January 27, 2011
this coat is the best winter coat i have ever purchased. it may have been pricey but it was definitey worth the buy. i love this coat. my favorite thing is the softness of the pockets and neckline. overall this north face coat is very warm and comfortable. i would reccomend this to anyone who is looking for a stylish coat that is great for the cold weather. the only thing that i wish could be changed is the length. i am 5"7' and skinny so the small fits perfectly except i would prefer it to be a little longer. other than this, the coat was just what i was looking for and is perfect for any ocassion. i love it and am so happy to have found it when i did!
Great purchase

Great jacket for cold temps
January 12, 2011
I bought this jacket for my mother as a Christmas gift. She is tall (5'9") and slender. The large fit great in terms of length and even seems to be slightly tailored in the body. My mother loves the way that it fits and tells me it has been quite warm when layered with a sweater....ever in west central pa where temps have already hit single digits this winter. Another great TNF product!
Very Versitile
December 08, 2010
I have purchesed two of these for my teen-aged daughters and am about to purchase a third. Warm, durable and able to be worn with a variety of outfits. It can go from the ski slope to going out at night. Also works for wearing to class on a cold campus.
outstanding service
February 10, 2010
I am so impressed with this company. I ordered this coat and they sent me the wrong size. I called and talked to Zack in customer service explained the situation and in less than 10 minutes he had a new order completed with the correct size jacket and I received it in two days. Besides the exceptional service, I LOVE my jacket, perfect fit (true to size), very warm. I will definitely be ordering from here again. thanx Zack
January 21, 2012
I love this jacket!! it is very warm and stylish I love the way it fits and the price is great!! I would recomend this to anyone. I wish the prices were alittle cheaper and there were better deals on the clearence.Pros: Build quality, Cons: Cost
Highly Recommended North Face
February 05, 2011
I would highly recommend this product. Glad that I made this purchase my daughter is absolutely satisfied and loves this coat. Wouldn't have chosen a different coat.
Love This Coat!!!
December 28, 2010
I bought this coat in the brown and the black and absolutely love them. They are so warm and very stylish. I have had so many compliments when I wear it. Dont hesitate to buy it if you considering it. It does fit true to size.
Gift for a teen
December 11, 2010
I bought this for my stepdaughter who absolutely loves it. The fit is good except the arms are long. I ordered size SM and she is 5 feet tall.
Great Coat for Chicago winters
December 03, 2011
I bought this coat for my wife for a Christmas gift. She had been wanting it for a while because of its style and great reviews. Altrec ships extremly quick and she was able to take advantage of wearing it when it staretd to get cold here. Great quality and warmth, exactly why I keep buying Northface gear. It isn't the cheapest, but you get what you pay for and the Northface brand is very durable and worth the money. She is 5'9" with an athletic build, so I ordered her a Medium at her request this time. She normally wears a large in coats for the extra arm length like I do, but she wanted to make sure that it would fit more uniform. The medium fits snug and well around the body where it doesn't bunch up to let cold air in. So it was the right call going with this size. Can't go wrong with this jacket. She is extremely happy and set for the winter.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
September 19, 2011
The jacket is a beautiful color. It is top notch quality from North Face, as usual. I bought this jacket on sale which made it even more of a value! I love the XS size...fitted looking. I cannot ever find the XS in my local stores.
Well worth the $
January 03, 2011
Fit perfectly. Snug, so need for layers. Perfect for those early morning walks with the pup. Looks good too.
November 10, 2011
i love it,,very warm and stylish.i love the purple color but the black will go with my black northface boots.If you buy this jacket you would be very satisfied.Plan to buy more jackets off the wesite,this is my 4th item i purchased and was very satisfied.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Great value
Great Jacket!
December 20, 2012
I've had this coat for almost a year now, and it is very warm without feeling too bulky! I wear a size medium and am 5'6", about 145 pounds, and it fits great. Highly recommend it!Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever

I love the color and the style of this coat. This item was priced much more on other sites and especially in the local stores.Pros: Great value
Great Jacket
December 28, 2010
I love this jacket. What a great Christmas gift. I have the vest in this version, and now the jacket completes my wardrobe.
toasty and warm
December 27, 2010
My friend has this jacket and I immediately wanted it when I saw it on her. It is of excellent quality, as well as very good looking. It's warm, but not too bulky. I do wish it were a little longer, though...it hits right at my waist, and I wish it were more hip length.
October 14, 2010
I ordered a large and it turned out to be too big on me. It is not puffy at all, great style! But probably not warm enough for extremely cold winter.
Too Stiff
October 23, 2011
Although I like the Turquoise color and sizing and the warmth of this jacket, the outer fabric is just too stiff for me. I am sending it back. It is like a satin finish. Too bad.....as otherwise excellent.Pros: Build quality, Cons: Bad design
comfy cozy
January 05, 2013
This jacket is very comfortable and warm. It fits a bit big, but is great over sweaters. I love the color too (I got the purple)! North Face is a bit pricy, but worth it for quality and design.
Great Jacket
March 04, 2010
Great jacket. I love the color Moonlight Ivory. I think the jacket fits true to size. I get tons of compliments.
Love the Coat
February 06, 2011
I love this coat..True to fit..Would love to have another one... Everyone needs a North Face Coat...Was cheaper than anyone else...Love the inside pocket..
LOVE this coat
November 27, 2010
Very warm coat, sporty and stylish. I normally wear a small in North Face fleece jackets, but got this in a medium and I'm glad I did. It's the perfect size to wear a sweater under. I'm about 5'6" and 120 and the medium is just right. I would definitely recommend this coat. I love the silvery gray color for something a little different than most of my standard black coats.
Perfect for Seattle winter
December 14, 2011
This jacket is the perfect weight for my daughters trek to and from school. It will stand up well in an everyday use in the typical Seattle winter weather. I like the dark blue color- nice variation from the typical black.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, color
Snug and Warm!
January 08, 2013
My wife loves her new jacket. It fits slim and snug. I have hyped up the North face down jackets and now she is a firm believer that down is the way to go during the cold winter season.
Great winter jacket
July 24, 2010
A really fun jacket! I like how it isn't too long like a lot of the quilted puffer coats. I am 5'3" and it sits right at my hip. Great insulation-- wear it on a good/fair weather day when you are skating or skiing.
Great for the money
December 08, 2010
I bought this jacket for my wife and she loves it. I think it is pretty trendy and the down makes it super warm. The small was too big for her so we ordered the XS and it fits great. She is 5'1 108 lbs.
North Face Aconcagua
December 05, 2010
Very lightweight, warm jacket. I waited for the sale price and I'm glad I purchased. I would puchase at full price, because the the quality is so good. I get a lot of compliments on the fit of the jacket, it is not a "puffy" fit.
two thumbs up!!
January 09, 2011
Great jacket, lvery warm, love the ivory color. the jacket fits just a bit large so I sent back got next smaller size.
Nice Jacket
May 12, 2010
fit was perfect,warm and comfortable as well as stylish. would highly recommend.
The "how do you pronounce this" coat
December 28, 2010
So this is the third time I've bought this coat...because I love, love, love it! I had one, then my teenage daughter borrowed it once and then again and you get the picture, so then I got her one...then, of course, her sister had to have one too. Cute style and lightweight warmth make this a great coat! True to size. Great coat for teens and adults!
Great warm jacket and not too bulky!
September 09, 2010
Love this jacket. We live in Alaska so it can get windy and cold. This jacket keeps me nice and toasty on even on the coldest days without bulky.
October 16, 2012
I've used this coat for the past 2 winters and it has kept me warm from the snow. I love it and I would recommend it to anyone considering to buy it! I bought a medium in the baroque purple. I love the color it's not too purple, but enough to remind people that purple truly is my favorite color. For Reference: I am 5'4" and 162lbs.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Great value, Cons: Cost
Great jacket!
March 08, 2010
This jacket is the perfect combination of style and warmth. I was so lucky to grab the last black one in my size! I have read a lot of reviews with various sizing comments so I'll add mine. I am 5'3 130 and usually wear ladies size 6. The medium fits great with room to layer.
Love this Jacket
November 11, 2010
This jacket is GREAT!! the fit is awesome its not bulky..I would get every color if my Husband would let me
Great jacket but hard to find
December 30, 2010
This is a fantastic jacket but very hard to find. The style and cut is fantastic. I certainly hope that North Face continues this style is it is the smash hit this holiday season.
good down jacket at good price
January 10, 2012
I bought couple " Aconcagua vests" last year and love the products. This year this new color "Butter Brown" and she asked me to purchase for her. All of my family love the products from "The north Face" good quality and good value. We are going to shop more "900 fill" vest if the size and color avalible.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value
December 29, 2011
Perfect fit, great coat. I ordered for the first time from Altrec and it showed up on time and was accurately packaged. I will order from Altrec again, however I'm not sure I will review not products for them since they don't tell me how many words my review must be, yet somehow my text within this box is "too short" - so hopefully this solves it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Excellent coat
July 21, 2012
I ordered this jacket on a Monday, and it came in on a Thursday, so obviously Altrec is great with shipping and processing their orders. I was worried about fit based in all of the seemingly contradictory reviews people had left about sizing. I am 5'6" and pretty average in weight and I ordered a medium. The fit is perfect - not tight or baggy. Good range of motion in arms/shoulders, room for a light sweater underneath, and stops right at my the top of my jeans. Some people complained about the length... It's not meant to be a long coat that covers half of your butt because it's not meant for rolling around in the snow. I plan to use this coat on a daily basis going to/from work, around town, going at at night, etc. If that's what you're looking for too than this is the right coat for you. Other than that, color is beautiful, very comfortable, and a good weight - not too bulky at all, but definitely has some added warmth.Pros: Great design, Build quality
Love this coat!
February 18, 2011
This is an awesome coat, I really debated over spending $150 for a coat but it was worth every penny. I live in Cleveland OH and it gets cold. I wanted a warm coat without it being very bulky. This was the perfect match. It is super warm and not puffy at all. I would say it is a fitted coat, so you may want to order one size larger than you normally would. I would have ordered a SM based on my normal size but am glad I got the M. You will not regret this purchase!
Very Nice!
April 05, 2010
Nice jacket. I love the color. The fit is a little big, but I think it will be perfect for layering. I ordered a large because i was on the borderline of measurements for medium and large. Glad I ordered the large.
Great Purchase
February 14, 2011
The fit is perfect -- it's not too big and it's not too small. You can still fit a light sweater or sweatshirt underneath. It is very warm and stylish.
Love, love, love!
January 07, 2012
I had been looking for a jacket to fill in the gap between a VERY warm seam-sealed down bomber jacket I bought last year and my much lighter PrimaLoft jacket. I had been thinking about the Aconcagua jacket for a while, but was convinced that it wasn't expensive enough to be a really "good" down jacket (think higher down count). I finally broke down and bought it based on it's appearance, anyway, and I couldn't be happier! Yes, it is beautiful, but it is also versatile and warm. I can wear it comfortably in temperatures ranging between the low twenties and mid-forties, and it does a good job blocking the wicked Chicago wind (unlike my previous Nuptse jacket). As others have reported, the fabric was a tiny bit stiff at first, but it softened up within a week, and it runs a but small: I am 5'4", 110 lbs., and returned the size Small for a Medium. BTW, both jackets arrived within 2-3 days of ordering, and the return was hassle free. Bottom line: a great jacket at a great price, and great service from Altrec.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value, beautiful!
Love it!
January 16, 2013
I am 5'6", weigh 123 lbs. I bought the medium and it fits perfectly. A little extra room allows for a close-fitting sweater underneath - and warm on days down through about 20 degrees. It is not a long jacket, sitting between waist and hip. I love the Baroque purple, it's very dark and I've received many compliments #even one from my 16 year old daughter.# The sleeves are just long enough for my lengthy arms, pockets are in the right location for keeping hands warm. This jacket washes beautifully in my machine. Air dried in the dryer and it's looking great.Pros: Build quality, Performance
solid purchase
December 29, 2010
I got this for my wife and she was thrilled by how soft, how warm, and the "fitted" cut and stitching were plusses, too. It fits a little on the small side, so careful with a sweater underneath. Also, the retro pink is almost orange-y, definitely not your typical powder-puff color, but it looks great.
Best Gift for Her
December 05, 2010
Bought this for my gf, and she loved it. Its warmer than she thought and she loves the color and feel when its on. She wants another one in a different color this year! Would highly recommend as it is pretty stylish as well.
good purchase
December 14, 2010
i got my stuff very speedy and the jacket fits great! thanks altrec for a good job!
Good looking jacket
February 27, 2012
Looked great, I loved the green and found it true to color from the images online. I ordered a medium and I am 5'4" and 140 lbs. The fit was good and sleeve length was perfect (I have a problem finding jackets with sleeves long enough) but it was a little snug at the shoulders and under the armpits therefore limiting movement and I returned it for that reason only.Pros: Build quality, Great value, Cons: not much allowance for shoulder movement
Love it!
February 08, 2012
This coat is so cute and comfy! I would go a size up if you plan on wearing thicker layers under it. I'm around 5'3" and the Medium fit very well. I bought the white color and it gets dirty easily, but that is bound to happen with any white item of clothing. Great coat that keeps you warm in the winter!Pros: Great design, Performance
Nice jacket but colors shown are off
December 13, 2012
Bought this jacket for my 13 year old daughter. Nice jacket, fit true to size and fairly warm BUT returning it. The pictures on the website showed a burgundy lining on the plum colored jacket, but the jacket we received had a BRIGHT PINK lining instead.Cons: website color wrong, not too warm
January 05, 2011
It runs big. It is a very attractive coat. I ordered it in the retro pink, but had to return because the sleeves were too long.Pros: Great design
North Face does it right
March 12, 2011
I bought the Aconcagua jacket for my wife as a surprise. She doesn't know much about down jackets, so I took it upon myself to investigate and couldn't be happier. I was very impressed with the quality when we received it. It was made very well, and this just reinforced to me that TNF is as good as it gets. You can wear the Aconcagua women's jacket for almost any occasion and look great. It has a feminine fit that looks right for your lady too. This is not a trail jacket, but the perfect one for your every day lifestyle. We have washed it once because I got her the moonlight color, and it held up well and no changes. Happy customer and wife....
Love this coat
February 07, 2011
The coat is very comfortable and very warm. Like all North Face it is top quality with attention to detail. The style allows the coat to be worn for any occasion.
See it in your size; get it!
January 18, 2012
Very warm, not as puffy as other down jackets and very stylish. I ordered a small but it was a little tight around the arms. I am between a small and medium; 52 145 pounds. Wish I had acted on it sooner when the medium was available.Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Great value
Great Winter Jacket
January 16, 2013
I was hesitant to purchase a medium size, I thought the sleeve length would be to short, but I was pleasantly surprised with the perfect fit. Not bulky at all. Keeps the core warm even when outside for an extended period of time.Pros: Great design, Performance, Ease of use, Great value
December 13, 2010
My daughter asked for one for Christmas so I ordered an extra for myself- absolutely love it!
Great Colors
December 28, 2010
My 14 yr old daughter loves the color combination of this jacket - graphite on the exterior with a bright pinkish red lining. You are able to accessorize with pink or red (scarves, hats etc.) because of the versatility of the color. It's also a lot easier to keep clean than her white North Face. The jacket fits well and is plenty warm.

There is certainly more to this story, but both AFI and the Dallas Film Society jointly announced "completion of their initial three-year agreement."
The release goes on to say "The DALLAS Film Society is planning its 2010 international film festival and expects to announce details over the coming weeks."
The AFI Dallas Film Festival came out of the gate strong three years ago. With a massive budget for a first time event, they had always intended to compete directly with the big fests. The "jointness" of this release indicates a mutual separation, though at the end of the day, I would imagine DFS didn't want to shell out the licensing fee to AFI.
Did AFI contribute to the fest's launch by increasing the profile? Probably. Is it satisfied being just a platform to launch events? A quickie branding opportunity that can be dropped later? Probably not. Might be time to rethink those fees.
kenny | December 11, 2009 4:06 AM
MAybe the USA Festival was or is the little engine that could.
Scott | June 18, 2009 10:44 AM
Yeah, this is being spun as a good thing, but its hard to see how losing the AFI brand so early, not to mention all that money, can be good for the film scene here in Dallas.

UPDATE: Jefferies Downgrades Edison International to Underperform on Regulatory Delay Concerns
Jefferies downgraded Edison International (NYSE: EIX) from Hold to Underperform and lowered the price target from $48.50 to $40.50.
Jefferies noted, "We are downgrading Edison International to Underperform based on concerns that the NRC will significantly delay the restart of San Onofre Unit 2 and may find SCE at fault in their investigation into the completeness and accuracy of information that SCE provided to the NRC regarding the SONGS steam generators. These new developments heighten the company's exposure to regulatory disallowances in the CPUC regulatory investigation."
Edison International closed at $47.64 on Wednesday.

ATI's Catalyst Drivers get WHQL certification for Windows 7 from Microsoft
WHQL is an acronym for Windows Hardware Quality Labs. These labs provide certification to hardware and software by running a series of tests. What this means is that if the hardware or the software is able to pass the tests, it is deemed to be stable and compatible with a specific Microsoft Operating System. Each operating system has different tests that these hardware and software have to pass. As a result of a passing score, these products are allowed to display logos such as "Designed for Vista" on product packaging, marketing and advertising material.
With the pending release of Microsoft's latest Operating System Windows 7, hardware and software manufacturers will try to get their products passed through the WHQL testing. Today, Microsoft started accepting products for certification. And ATI's driver team managed to get their Catalyst Driver Suite WHQL certified for Windows 7 as confirmed by Terry Makedon, Catalyst Product Manager, on twitter.

Pretty interesting response from Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott when he was asked "how important is a UCLA resurrection" to him:
"Very. UCLA is one of the biggest school brands in the country, both in athletics and academics. It's the second largest media market in the country with a very large alumni base. When they're up, it's helpful for the conference. I welcome Jim Mora. I won't offer my opinions about how they improve."
Notice couple of things. First, he doesn't give a thumbs up or thumbs down on Jim Mora as a coach. Second, it is interesting how he doesn't mention anything about whether UCLA is on the right or wrong track. His non comment there IMHO is kind of telling.
One gets the sense Chianti Dan is probably seen as a joke among his peers in the Pac-12. Given where Scott comes from he probably thinks Dan is an incompetent noob who is not only diminishing UCLA's brand but also hurting the conference.

Thanks for looking into my website.
What an amazing industry I've managed to end up in!
I have been professionally involved with the digital world for nearly 10 years now. It has been an amazing journey and always a challenging learning curve. The web design industry is always emerging with new and modern technologies which pushes designers like myself to upskill all the time!
I started up a web business in Auckland, New Zealand at the beginning of 2006. We called this web design studio Ardent. Wow, a designer's dream; phone ringing, projects coming in, pipe-line nearly full - living the dream! Then in 2008 - major recession hits New Zealand and wipes out a whole bunch of businesses! My self-transofrmation went from being a web designer to a sales person cold-calling, agressive marketing, and biting my tongue in order to secure web projects...
Adobe Flash - I really hate you! I spent years studying you and Actionscript programming and you get made redundant...
Along my journey, I've met some really creative web designers, talented web developer, experienced businessmen, and 'crazy' conceptual strategists, which I've grown my knowledge bank. I've learnt a lot from owning and running my own business, I believe this has been the most rewarding learning experience. A web designer simply cannot study at an university.
Life is always full of surprises and challenges, it's about enjoying the journey and adapting to change!

A. Probably not. There are many things besides a sinus infection that can cause a runny nose, including a simple cold or allergies.
If your child has a lingering runny nose and it is clear, then your child may have allergies. Other symptoms might include a cough, sore throat, and itchy eyes.
Keep in mind that sinusitis is often overdiagnosed in children. Many parents (and doctors) think that a child has a sinus infection at the first sign of a green or yellow runny nose. Instead, these children often just have a viral upper respiratory tract infection (URI), like the common cold, and do not require treatment. In fact, URIs are reported to be 20-200 times more common than a true bacterial sinus infection.
Symptoms of a URI usually begin with a clear runny nose, which may become green or yellow after 2-3 days. Other symptoms can include a fever, cough, headache and decreased activity, although facial pain and facial swelling is not always present in children. These symptoms usually worsen over 5-7 days and then gradually get better. Because they are caused by viruses, URIs do not respond to antibiotics. Antibiotics won't help your child with a cold get better any faster, and when used unnecessarily, being on antibiotics make it more likely that you will get a secondary infection with a bacteria that has become resistant to antibiotics, maker it much more difficult to treat.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recently released a clinical practice guideline on the Management of Sinusitis that should make it easier to diagnose and treat sinus infections in children.
The AAP recommends that the diagnosis of sinusitis be made when children have a runny nose, postnasal drip, and/or a daytime cough, which may worsen at night, and that these symptoms have lasted for more than 10 to 14 days. Children with a shorter duration of symptoms might still have a sinus infection if the symptoms are severe, including 3-4 days of fever (over 102 degrees F) in a child that appears ill.
It is important to keep in mind that having persistent symptoms, which are lasting 10-14 days, doesn't necessarily always mean a sinus infections though. If the symptoms are slowly improving, then even if they are lasting more than 2 weeks, it is probably still just a viral URI.

The players on this team have the same attitude as the dude that gets 5 years in jail for pistol whipping a dude who smudged his sneaker.
They need to get over themselves and not react to everything as a personal attack. In the play where Pettigrew got the UR Penalty, it was OBVIOUS to me that the DB was trying to goad him into a reaction... and it worked. Same thing with the other UR calls...
The whole NFL has the book on Detroit.... push their buttons and they will cave and react.
I think the coaching staff should set down any player that gets a UR penalty for something after the play, for the next game. Seems harsh, but this shit is getting ridiculous.

|Juniper SRX - How do I configure LACP (802.3ad) ?
|Firewalls - Juniper - SRX Series Gateway
|Friday, 01 February 2013 00:00
IEEE 802.3ad (LACP) is a technology that provides a method of aggregating multiple Ethernet links into a single logical channel.
To configure LACP the following commands are used. This example aggregates the interfaces fe-0/0/3 and fe-0/0/4 into a logical interface named 'ae1'. This logical interface is then configured as an access port and assigned to vlan 'vlan-trust'.
set chassis aggregated-devices ethernet device-count 2
Once configured and commited the running configuration (for your new aggregated interfaces) will look like this,
chassis {
To confirm that the interface is up run the following command,
root@srx# run show interfaces terse | match ae1
If you then need to show further information on your aggregated interface you can run the command,
root@srx# run show interfaces ae1 extensive

Games that impact the Broncos
Looking back to last week, the games that impact Boise State took a big nose dive when Boise State couldn't finish winning their own game. However, some of that was alleviated when Boise State was found to be still ranked in the Coaches Poll. While we were keeping pace with and looking good enough against Michigan State, other schools were keeping pace with and looking awful with a Div 1-AA opponent.
Sadly, again I have to rush this article due to the lack of time. I'd go into details, but I'll let Joe Southwick fill you in with the details.
Loque had a baby boy! via lh4.googleusercontent.com
On with the rooting guide!
Rank 1 - Opponents of Boise State
The previous week in review: Boise State's opponents went 50/50 in wins and losses. A few positive notes from the weekend came when Nevada, BYU, and Colorado State defeated Cal, Washington State, and Colorado respectively. The negatives came when other teams on our schedule didn't knock off many "big" teams. Southern Miss couldn't handle Nebraska, Miami (OH) couldn't finish against Ohio State, Hawaii lost to USC, San Diego State lost at Washington (though it looked good), Wyoming lost to Texas, and UNLV lost in OT to Minnesota. At least Michigan State won their game, right? ... oh, wait.
Week 2: While the win/loss record of our opponents will likely improve in Week 2, it will mostly be because our opponents are playing Div 1-AA schools. Sadly, this will reflect in the computers who calculate SOS.
Look forward this weekend to Michigan State smashing Directional Michigan, and get on your knees and pray that football miracles can happen such as New Mexico defeating Texas and Fresno State defeating Oregon. Hey, it "could" * happen.

Sat, 7:00 PM North Dakota State at Colorado State
Sat, 3:35 PM South Florida at Nevada - CBS Sports
PS. All times are now Eastern because of afore mentioned time restraints.
* (it won't happen)
Rank 2 - Teams ranked ahead of/near Boise State
This includes any ranked team, sadly. The big question is will Boise State remain ranked in the Coaches poll on their bye week. It could happen as long as the final 15 or so in the way-too-early polls look pretty bad against their competition. As far as this poll is concerned, let's have Michigan State keep winning for us.

Rank 3 - Opponents opponents
The previous week in review: The opponents of our opponents had a 54% win percentage last week (this does not reflect the losses against our opponents).
Week 2: I've included the lost of all our opponents opponents for your review. They may or may not play this week. I've bolded numerous teams which we would like to win, save it be against a Boise State opponent. These bolded teams play our opponents 2-3 times this season. So them winning assists us 2-3 fold.
Colorado (x2)
Eastern Michigan
Georgia Tech
Idaho (x2)No, not ever. Never, ever, ever root for Idaho. Let their losses hurt our SOS as much as they want.
Louisiana Tech

Rank 4 - "What the Heck!"
Tonight, 8pm Have Cincinnati wallop Pittsburgh - ESPN. We want our future Big East opponent to continue to embarrass a future-leaving Big East opponent.
Friday, 8pm Utah at Utah State. Pick 'em. If you're thinking along with a Rank 3 item, 3 of our opponents play Utah State, so a win by them would help our SOS in some computers. However, I'd like Utah to build their confidence to be in a position to take down USC or other PAC-12 league members. A loss to Utah State might set them back for that goal.
Saturday, 10am Penn State at Virginia - abc. To be honest, I don't care who wins this, only that Penn State stop being the focal point of nationally televised games for the wrong reasons.
1:30pm Air Force at No. 19 Michigan - abc/ESPN2. We don't play Air Force this year, but a win against reeling Michigan would place notoriety in the Mountain West conference -- which we actually want this season. I don't many pollsters would even notice that Boise State does not play Air Force this year.
1.30pm No. 24 Florida at Texas A&M - ESPN. Pick 'em. Former Boise State Coach Pease vs. former Boise State Coach Yates. You choose for yourself, but "Go defense!" for me.
2pm No. 13 Wisconsin at Oregon State - FX. Should be a fun game to watch (if you can find it on tv). Wisconsin looked pretty bad against their FCS opponent and this is Oregon State's opening game due to a postponement last week.
Rank 5 - Future Big East Members
The previous week in review: Team future Big East won 60% of it's games last week. It was fun to see both exiting Big East members Pittsburgh (Hahahaha, Mark May!) and Syracuse lose last week, Pitt to a Div 1-AA team. However, it was incredibly painful to see Houston do the same thing to Texas State.
I've omitted No. 24 Lousiville on account that we have to be ahead of the Big East or ACC conference winner. South Florida was also removed as they play Nevada this week.
Central Florida at Ohio State - Sat, 10pm, ESPN
Houston vs. Louisiana Tech - Sat, 6pm, CBS Sports
Memphis at Arkansas State - Sat, 5pm, ESPN3
Southern Methodist vs. Stephen F. Austin - Sat, 6pm
Temple vs. Maryland - Sat, 10am, ESPNU
Navy - BYE
Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh - Tonight, 6pm, ESPN
Connecticut vs. NC State - Sat, 10am, Big East Network (there's such a thing?)
Rutgers vs. Howard - Sat, 1:30pm, ESPN3
So, enjoy your cheering guide. Please feel free to disagree. I'm pretty sure I didn't choose any SEC teams so hopefully that helps in that regard. ;)
Edit, Friday 12:49pm: Some coherency, never cheer for Idaho, game opponents and times, misc.

Antonia's New Kitchen!!!
So, after most of the month of Jan. rained (making it very difficult to build her kitchen) we finished it! And it's green! The top two pictures are the old kitchen and the bottom two pictures are of her new kitchen. Enjoy cause I know she's also enjoying it!
My birthday!
My birthday was actually postponed to that weekend so Yassir (who's birthday is on the 8th), his father (who's birthday is on the 5th) and I (my birthday is on the 6th) could all celebrate it together with a stew and ice cream cake (pralines n' cream with chocolate cake), and a few ice-cold beers!
Sunday, January 3, 2010
So much to be Thankful for!
Christmas Spirits, thank you for making Christmas one of the nicest I have ever had!
My parents finally met Yassir's parents. My parents, which are not easily surprised, were a bit thrown off by Yassir's parent's very humble home but the conversation and the meal were excellent (well, I would have liked mom's mint glazed lamb rack instead of rice and chicken, AGAIN!). I was very nervous about the two families meeting cause my parent's are not the religious type and his family are VERY Roman Catholic but aside from those differences there were plenty of laugh and cheer. Thank god that the power company was into the christams spirit and didn't cut the power till the morning, but like my mom said, the Christmas dinner by gas lamp/candlelight would have been romantic as well!!!
My mom and dad are the bestest parents, just so it is clear! All the groans and moans aside, I'm freaking proud as hell to call them mom and dad!!!!!!!!!!
Mom and Dad gifted two new laptops to Yassir and Antonia's daughter, Gissell (she's a university student studying accounting). They also bought Yankee (Jean Carlos), Antonia's grandson a baseball bat and baseball shoes (we had a deal that if he was an honor student I would get him baseball supplies), and a hula-hoop for Antonia's other granddaughter, Amy (she's my little shadow). The last Christmas gift that my parents and Juan, my cousin are giving is a simple kitchen for Antonia, which is going to begin construction later this month. Right now, her kitchen is a couple of buckets of water with detergent. I promise to put up pictures!!!!!
Oh yes, they also took me to the grocery store and stocked me up on some goodies!!!! I just ate my last piece of raisin bread!
Merry Christmas to all!!!

The Great Marshmallow Roast
Monday, November 16, 2009
The Neighbors
This article should have been written a while ago but I decided to do it now, which is later…
Back in February I moved into the Barbie House. I don't know if I mentioned that I was moving next door to a widow, Antonia, her youngest daughter, Giselle, and her grandson, Jean Carlos (tenderly known as Yankee). Well, I am dedicating this article about them because they have helped me tremendously since I have moved in.
Antonia has been the most caring person I have met in my community. There are days were I wake up and I do not care to move from my bed. If I don't appear out of my house by 10 am, she pokes her head in the door to make sure I am all right. I pretty much consider her my second mother here (Mom you will always be Mommy). When I was having issues with my stomach, which later turned out to be a set of parasites and lactose-intolerance, she would make me teas and juices of all sorts to take away the pain.
When I do my laundry and I walk away to do something on my computer, she'll step in and, if I don't interrupt, she'd finish it. Now, I am not abusing her. I constantly tell Antonia to stop doing so much and that taking care of one house is quite a lot of work for her. However, she always keeps helping me.
When I moved in, she would make me food all the time!! Let me tell you, I really do suck at cooking and in the middle of summer here, the last thing I want to be doing is standing in my hot kitchen cooking. So I decided that I would take advantage of her need to cook for me and just pay her, that way I don't feel so bad.
Lastly, she's always the first one in my house if I find a frog, toad, scorpion, rat, mouse, tarantula, etc… and she always knows it one of those if I begin to scream at the top of my lungs.
Giselle is the girlfriend I joke around with. We watch TV shows together, we paint our nails together, and I help her with her university homework. I always ask her advice about work or general cultural questions. What's really refreshing is that she doesn't poke her nose in my business. If I feel like talking about something I'll ask her about it but she'll never ask me.
The really impressive thing about Giselle is that she works Monday – Friday from 8:30 to 4pm and then has an hour commute to get to school come rain or shine until 10pm. This semester she doesn't have Saturday classes but the last two semesters she would get up at the crack of dawn and be in class by 8am. On top of that, her paycheck goes to support her, Antonia, and Yankee. I wish there was a scholarship for her cause she's a super hard worker.
Jean Carlos, Yankee, Antonia's grandson is super fun. He loves animals and always plays with my dog Diana. Antonia and I always scream for Yankee when we find a frog, toad, scorpion, tarantula, rat, mouse, etc… Since he is the only "man" between the two houses he's always thrilled to come to the rescue. By the way, he's 11 years old. Yankee is extremely intelligent though at one point his grades didn't reflect it. One of Yankee's passions is obviously, baseball. Since Yankee lacked the motivation to study I decided that I should help him find the motivation. I made a deal with Yankee that if his next set of grades where straight A's I would buy him baseball supplies (they are really expensive here in the DR cause it's all imported). So far he has a glove and I think he's going to ask for a baseball bat this Christmas.
If anyone would like to help me cover the costs I wouldn't mind as well cause they are super expensive on my Peace Corps salary! ;)
Now, for all you that think I am completely taking them for granted, I'm not… I give back!
There are a lot of energy black outs cause the electricity companies suck here so I helped them buy an "Inversor" (its basically huge car-like batteries with a charger) so that we could all keep the lights on and watch TV whenever the power was out. It helps Giselle a ton cause she had to do her homework by candlelight when the energy was out and Antonia can listen to music or Catholic sermons while she does housework. I helped them finish a bathroom that they were building with an overhead shower (it still only cold water). We had all been using a latrine before and that just sucks cause there were always cockroaches.
Now I decided that I was going to make up a Christmas list for them and if you would like to contribute I know that they would really appreciate it:
- I want to build Antonia a simple functional kitchen with running water, very similar to mine (refer to my Barbie house pictures). She doesn't have a sink or running water in her house. The kitchen would cost around $100 USD depending on the market.
- Laptop for Giselle (used or new) for her studies.
- Baseball supplies for Yankee. I think it costs $50 USD.
- Bicycle (Pink) for Amy (she's another neighbor that helps me when I clean my house). I haven't investigated the price actually.
- Crystal/Glass baking pan for Antonia. This costs around $30.
If you would like to contribute in some way please email me at email@example.com. If you would like to buy a laptop or baseball supplies, my parents are visiting on December 19 so make sure you get it to them by that week so they can pack accordingly.
Thank you for all the kind words about my blog and my recent engagement!

The Switchblade Kid: The Life and Death of Sal Mineo
On Screen
Following the closing of "The King and I," Sal played in a weekend series called Omnibus. During one of the CBS series, Sal played a matador in the adaptation of Hemingway's "The Capital of the World" He played alongside Anne Bancroft and Leslie Nielsen in the production, which was directed by Yul Brynner. Once again, Sal profited from the direction and acting techniques taught by his mentor. The part won him praise and led to several other television roles.
Between 1954 and the beginning of 1955, Sal appeared once as an emergency patient in the television series called Janet Dean, Registered Nurse and in an Omnibus television production as the character of Señor Cortez in "A Few Scenes Out of the California Boyhood of William Saroyan." He also appeared in the televised plays "Juvenile Gangs" and "The Trees" at the Philco Playhouse, later that year. Sal's reputation as an exceptional actor was gaining recognition and his career was on the verge of taking off in a new direction.
Sal was not the only Mineo family member who had an interest in acting. His older brother Mike also aspired to be an actor. One day he accompanied his brother Mike to a casting call for Universal International's film Six Bridges to Cross. Sal went to offer support and advice because it was Mike's first-ever audition. Mike was to audition for the part of Jeff Chandler, who allegedly masterminded the true-life robbery of an armored car.
During the audition, Sal was surprised when he was picked out to read, following a director's hunch. After one week Sal was called up by the casting director and asked to play the role of the young Chandler in the upcoming movie. Tony Curtis was chosen to play the lead role of the adult Chandler. Within weeks, Sal began working on his first movie, playing the role of the young hoodlum in the streets of Boston.
During the final stages of making the movie, Sal had to travel to Hollywood to complete the soundtrack for the film. While there, he auditioned for another part playing the character of a cadet colonel in a movie starring Charlton Heston called The Private War of Major Benson. Again, the young talent was awarded the role in the new movie and began filming soon after the completion of Six Bridges to Cross.
Sal, now 16-years-old, was beginning to make an impression on movie audiences nationwide. His good looks and talent captured the hearts of young Americans and caught the eye of professionals in the entertainment industry. When the movie was finished, he delayed his trip back to New York so that he could audition for another role in a new and upcoming movie.
Warner Brothers Studios was in the process of casting actors for the Rebel Without a Cause. The lead character named Jim Stark was to be played by a new talent named James Dean and the part of Judy was awarded to 16-year-old Natalie Wood. The casting director for the movie was still looking for actors to play the role of Jim Stark's friend Plato. It was the character Sal longed to play.
During the audition, Sal was asked by the director Nick Ray to read for the part of Plato three times. The first time Sal read alone for the part, and on the second and third occasions he was paired with James Dean. It wasn't long before the chemistry between the two young actors began to develop. Sal was chosen to play the part of Plato. It was a role that would win him great acclaim and popularity.

News: Nas Still Out For Dead Presidents, Vows To "Never Stop, Never Settle!!"
Friday, Aug 9, 2013 3:25PM
New York rap veteran Nas has sparked a movement to get some money into a single father of nearly ten children's pockets and avoid being homeless with a money-raising campaign.
Nasty Nas revealed his unexpected charity to Washington, DC man Stanley Young.
"I was moved by the sad story of Stanley Young-father of 7 now homeless. Help me give his family a miracle: http://tilt.tc/BQuO," Nas tweeted August 8.
"The ones who can help, let's do this one together y'all!"
"This is the meaning of Community coming together. Not about me alone. Us. Spreadn love."
"Thank you people! Let's go! http://tilt.tc/BQuO"
"So proud of our community right now. The campaign just tilted and we raised over $10k in a few hours! Keep going!!! http://www.HelpStanleyYoung.com"
"We raised 30k for the Young Family, let's keep it going and raise 50k!! Never stop, Never settle!! http://helpstanleyyoung.com" (Nas' Twitter)
According to reports, Stanley Young will have to leave his current residence at a hotel by next week.
After seeing a report on ABC7, rapper Nas is helping a single father of eight kids get back on his feet. He has started a donation page for the Young family whose home was destroyed by a fire -- they must vacate the hotel they are staying in on August 13. It was raw emotion from a father down on his luck that struck a chord with the celebrity rapper. "Thank you to ABC for putting this on our radar so we know about this," said Nas to ABC7's Jenny Doren in a phone interview from Japan. "We just knew we had to do something." (ABC7)
Young has already spoken out on the rap veteran's unexpected gesture.
"It's been surprising how much they did within a couple of hours," said Stanley. "That is so amazing to me. It's overwhelming." The musician was visiting D.C. when he saw Hatzel Vela's report on Stanley Young. Touched by the family's plight, Nas launched an online campaign to raise money for the Youngs. Visit the Crowdtilt fundraising page where you can donate. "He don't have to do what he had to do," Young says of Nas. "People, strangers I don't even know, never met before in my life, are helping and that's amazing." (ABC7)
An account of what Nasty Nas wrote to the Young family has also surfaced.
"I am also a single father, and we don't get enough credit in this country....I believe and hope that we should all, as a community, come together to help our fellow American men and women when they need us in desperate situations like this." (Statement)
