Recent Synthetic Insulated Jacket Reviews
REI Men's Revelcloud Hoodie Jacket
Awesome all-purpose jacket. Ultra comfort and ultra-utility. I've had this jacket (actually a men's large) for three years now and it's been a dream the whole time. It's kept me warm across a dozen counties, including in the Inland Northwest and Norwegian winter, all while staying still looking almost new. Except the oil stain from where I spilled nearly a cup of mayonnaise off a Zapikanka in Poland :P Makes an awesome pillow once stowed, too! Full review
Patagonia Men's Nano Puff Jacket
A must-have jacket. Super light and pack-able, yet keeps you warm in winter. I walk every day to work. I usually wear this on a chilly and snowing day with a shell outside. Never feel any cold. Full review
Patagonia Men's Insulated Better Sweater Hoody
Comfortable and warm; great for chilly fall or spring evenings. Overall, I am very impressed with the jacket which is best for cruising around town, going for evening walks, or hanging around the campfire. It combines the features of Patagonia's Nano Puff and Better Sweater together into a package that is extremely warn and comfortable. I would say the weaknesses are more towards using the jacket for which it is not most suitable. For example, the jacket is not made for backpacking or for other… Full review
Arc'teryx Men's Atom LT Hoody
If you're looking for a synthetic jacket, this one is it. An almost perfect, mid layer for very cold temps, or a good outer jacket during spring/fall. Overall: This is a great, almost perfect, mid layer for very cold temps, or a good outer jacket during spring/fall. I come from using a minimal down shirt almost daily except during the height of summer. In spring or fall this jacket works great as an outer jacket. The breathing side panels do make a difference compared to the down shirt I was wearing,… Full review
GoLite Men's Wenatchee PrimaLoft
Nice jacket for when it gets cold. I've been using this jacket for about four months now (Colorado winter/spring) and I really like it. Down is getting more expensive so after shopping down I decided to go synthetic and I'm glad I did. We've had a wet spring in Colorado. I've seen the temp drop 10-15 degrees in an hour so the pit zips have come in very handy. This jacket works in town and in the backcountry and will keep you comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. I think my torso length puts… Full review
SmartWool Men's PhD SmartLoft Divide Hoody Sport
The SmartWool PhD SmartLoft Divide Hoody Sport has been within arm's reach of me all winter. It's one of the best insulating layers I have used for resort skiing, ski touring, snowshoeing, and around town. I highly recommend this jacket for anyone looking for a well-rounded insulating layer that is different from the traditional down or synthetic options. I have had this jacket with me for every activity I participated in all winter. Whether it was backcountry skiing, resort skiing, snowshoeing,… Full review
The North Face Men's Thermoball Full Zip Jacket
The Thermoball jacket does what it says it will do. It insulates—even when wet—at the loft and weight of 600-fill goose down. The shell repels rain quite well, it doesn't readily absorb moisture, and it dries more quickly than down. The fit is what I'd call "average-athletic," which is good to see from The North Face; this is an activity-minded garment, one that should be cut to fit active people. Best For: Backpackers and mountaineers in damp, wet areas like the United States Pacific… Full review
Wiggy's Barren Grounds Parka
Compressible warmth, easy wash and dry, superior customer service. Amazing customer service from Wiggy's... called on a Tuesday, jacket delivered Friday, despite not being in stock and being shipped to Florida... no extra charge for the quick turnaround. Only thing I wish this jacket had was knit cuffs like the Wiggy's sweaters have. Full review
The North Face Men's Blaze Jacket
The puffy jacket far exceeded my expectations. It packs down small into its own pocket, is very lightweight, and is warm. Great for around town, hiking, or backpacking. Highly recommend this jacket. I have used this jacket in snow, as a warm layer under a hard shell jacket, and in chilly to cold conditions while hiking or just at rest with excellent results. After a winter's worth of use the jacket shows no wear and remains my favorite cold weather layer. Comfortable fitting puffy jacket that… Full review

"My name is Kara Cooper, I'm a model from the Okanagan, BC area," is her opening statement, beginning a tour of words that will ultimately show much of what we need to know about the angel. "I'm at home and I see a lovely view from my window," she says being open and mysterious in the same breath. Growing up, "I was pretty shy actually," confesses Kara. "I was often quiet when first meeting people, but would open up once getting to know them better."

Life is about choices. We have all heard this before. The model before us is known just as much for the choices she makes as for the breathtaking beauty she is. One major choice she made was a vegan lifestyle forged out of her love of our planet. "I know for a fact that I am on the correct path that I've always wanted to be in," Creestaaal says of her choice to go Vegan. I myself, am a struggling humanitarian so angels like Creestaaal become beacons of inspiration, idealism and consciousness. "I would love to inspire many to make the compassionate choice and go Vegan," she continues, "I would love to be a role model for everything Vegan."
British freelance designer and illustration Chris Labrooy has once again exercised his strong illustrative muscle and created the Flight Intestine. It features a commercial airplane with an oozing "Intestine" extending from the front. Visually it beaks boundaries with a very real-time effectiveness. Take a look.
"I'm Puerto Rican, Italian, German and Irish," says the eye-catching beauty before us. She is quite the mix. "Ha ha," she laughs, "I know [it's] a lot! People are always surprised when they hear my answer. I actually get asked quite often because I am told I look mixed." She does. "The Puerto Rican and Italian come from my mom and the German and Irish comes from my dad," she concludes. "My name is Lucy Marie but you will rarely hear anyone call me by my name," she says excitedly. "It's either Lu Lu or Lou."
This photo series, colorful and vibrant, with its centerpiece a delicate beauty in various stages of emotion; is a curious study of patterns, texture and conveyance. Photographed by the duo of JUCO, which is the intimate pairing of photographers Julia Galdo and Cody Cloud, the images evoke subtle emotion and is a perfect display of their combined talents. Take a look.
Hawaii was amazing! A trip to remember. Tanny Marie has just listed the tropical island as one of her favorite destinations. Thoughts of the trip flash in her mind as she sees her image smile back at her through a mirror in her bedroom. Miami and New York City also make the list; both are great for dining and partying. Choices made with future decisions certain to increase her list, the world need beware. Being a model will aid in her traveling, it's one of the perks of the profession. Born in Houston, Texas and raised in sun-filled Florida, Tanny admits she's a "total" beach bunny. Spaniard, German, French and Irish, the multi-national beauty lives conveniently by a beach. To her delight there is also a nature trail and track for her to indulge. "I love [the] outdoors," she says.
Known as the "People's Cafe", the Bluetrian Restaurant's concept of "Aussie Fusion" cuisine and a non-pretentious aesthetic creates a very welcoming environment for new and existing patrons. The new design direction is in celebration of it'd 20th anniversary. Melbourne based architectural firm Studio Equator is the force behind the new design. Bluetrian's objective was to "create an emotional connection with our customers by manifesting our core values."
It's early morning, though it's quiet now, this is New York City and things could change in a flash. I take the time to ponder life, love and the pursuit of happiness; three things that mean the world to me. Sometime we forget that we are living a certain life that has a meaning and a purpose, so many never get to discover this about themselves so they remain in a kind of purgatory, unable to progress and mature. For those of us like this I would make a simple suggestion; do something you love and keep doing it. Through doing what you love you will find meaning and purpose. For Brittany Pennington, her decision to become a model brought positive changes, gave her life substance and reason. "I am more confident in myself and for once I really have a passion and love for what I do," says the dark haired, tatted-up beauty.
Since 1962 the people of Kiev has been familiar with the Odessa Restaurant chain. Inspired by the city of Odessa, people fall in love with the rich history and ethnic flamboyance of the city when they visit. It is located seaside of the Black Sea, south of Ukraine. The restaurant embodies the intangible elements that make the city bright and inviting. Designed by YOD Design Lab, the outcome is a warm and lively atmosphere that shows connections to the colorful seaside city.

Adolf Hitler
Adolf Hitler killed 12 million in his concentrations camps, and civilians in his war on the world.
Leopold II of Belgium
Leopold II of Belgium killed 8 million of his slaves in the Congo, not to mention the other millions he mutilated, tormented, and raped.
Hideki Tojo

In order to create a new culture, Pol Pot disposed of 1.7 million of his citizens so he could start afresh.
Kim Il Sung
This man, worshiped as a deity in his country, killed more than 1.6 million of his citizens (purges & concentration camps). This genocide is still going on.
He shouted "Death to counterrevolutionaries! Death to the EPRP!" Thousands of young Ethiopian men and women turned up dead in the streets of the capital and other cities in the following two years. One and a half million people were dead by the end of his Reign of Red Terror

There are many bad men out there. Instead of creating things in this world, they've destroyed it. I believe they are receiving justice for what they've done.

Baron Corbin
Real Name

Date of Birth

Place of Birth
Despite a lot of critical wrestling fans predicting his failure in Hollywood, Batista is expanding his resume rather nicely. After the success of Guardians of the Galaxy, the former world heavyweight champion has cemented himself into the Marvel Universe, which is red hot right now in the industry. Now, Batista is joining the James Bond universe, where he is slated to portray a villainous henchman named Hinx.

While the hot rumors are pointing to Darren Young being eventually revealed by WWE as the man underneath the bunny suit, a lot of fans have been wondering who has been portraying the character on television as of late. Reports have surfaced that developmental wrestler Sami Zayn has been the one in the suit. He apparently portrayed the character on Monday Night Raw and at live events.
September 17, 2014
The hot rumors right now is that WWE is going to prevent Alberto Del Rio from working for another wrestling promotion in the United States for the next year. In exchange, the company will continue to pay him, even though he has been given a release. That has led fans to speculate as to how much money he will be given. The belief is that it will not be the full amount of the contract, as he will not be paid for working live events.
August 21, 2014
Even though the company quickly rehired her, Emma might actually still be in hot water with WWE. The diva was not spotted backstage at Monday Night Raw or Smackdown this week. The belief is that the company has sent her home for the time being. Many believe that it will be quite some time before Emma is allowed back on television.
July 10, 2014
Rumors going around right now has WWE giving the world heavyweight championship to a heel at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company will set someone up to feud with John Cena and Daniel Bryan over the next few months. Antonio Cesaro has been rumored for a few weeks now, but some are skeptical of that because he hasn't been given a ton of momentum by WWE. Management will either hot shot the belt to Bray Wyatt or go with the safe route in Randy Orton.
June 16, 2014
Earlier this year, the hot rumors were that Kenta Kobayashi was going to be signing with WWE after the Japanese star came to the United States and did a tryout for the company. The industry was a bit shocked recently when it was announced that Kobayashi was leaving Pro Wrestling NOAH, his longtime home. The belief is that he no longer wants to work the physically demanding style in Japan.

The WWE diva was nominated last year as well. Eva Marie is the only wrestling related personality that you can vote for, unless you count Maria Menounos.

In an interesting move, Jason Jordan and Baron Corbin are being brought in for Extreme Rules 2014 tonight. The two of them are also scheduled to be backstage at Monday Night Raw and Smackdown as well. There is a very good chance that the two WWE NXT performers will be used in some sort of role tonight, despite neither one of them being rumored for a main roster promotion.
May 4, 2014
Since several wrestlers received a release from their developmental contracts earlier this week, the remaining performers are a bit nervous about their own status with WWE. Baron Corbin is one of those performers. He was recently given a gimmick change and a new valet in Shaul Guerrero. Since she has been released, there are concerns that he could be next to go.
May 3, 2014
Rumors going around are that Shaul Guerrero was caught a bit off guard by her release from WWE this week. She recently did a photo shoot, where she and Baron Corbin both did gimmick changes. Many had expected her to try out the new character on WWE NXT. Shaul has been quiet on Twitter, where her last post was during Monday Night Raw.
May 1, 2014
A picture of Baron Corbin with Shaul Guerrero. It appears that the WWE NXT star has been given a new gimmick and manager. This should help increase his chance of being called up to the main roster next year.

Andante [5'36]
Allegro giusto [11'39]
Prokofiev was in any case, like Rossini, an inveterate reuser of themes, but invariably enriched them in translating them from one work to another. The case of the First Cello Concerto and the Symphony-Concerto is, however, complicated by the different worlds in which each was born. Until now, the perception of the composer in the mid-1930s has been dominated by one all-too-plausible image—that of the homesick composer who found himself drained of inspiration in the West and needed his native Russia in order to carry on writing music. As letters and diaries reveal, though, that picture is far from accurate. Work and the impetus for it had by no means dried up in Western Europe or the USA; Prokofiev had endured reversals of fortune before, and the latest problems—the great depression in America, the clouds gathering in Germany—might right themselves as they had in the 1920s. The Soviet Union, in the end, proved more enticing because it seemed as if composers, and the time they needed to produce masterpieces, were now being properly valued. Moving from Paris to Moscow, as Prokofiev decisively did in 1936, would mean an adjustment to a more straightforward form of musical expression, but this coincided happily with his own thoughts on a new and original strain of melodic writing in his music.
It is certainly not true that he had abandoned this melodic strain in his works for Western consumption; he simply expected his audience to listen harder until, as he later put it, 'the outlines of a real face' emerged. This is true of the piano concertos Nos 4 and 5, the complex Symphonic Song—for which he risked the unfavourable reception of a Moscow premiere in 1934 because the French orchestras were not up to scratch—and the Cello Concerto. Thanks to the recent publication of Prokofiev's extensive diaries, we can now pinpoint its roots. As his entry for 22 May 1932 tells us, the 'fine cellist' Gregor Piatigorsky came to see him in his Parisian apartment:
Piatigorsky very much wishes me to compose a concerto for him, and begs to play it everywhere. I already have a plan (and themes) for a Fantasy for Cello and Orchestra. If Piatigorsky could stump up the money, I'd do it … He brought his cello and played the Ballade [Prokofiev's only other work for the instrument, composed with piano accompaniment back in 1912] with me, very well.
Record of progress on the Cello Concerto is hazy, but certainly by 1934 Prokofiev had put it aside; when his friend and fellow-composer Myaskovsky asked him how it was going that August, he bluntly replied that it was 'as before in a state of somnolence'. So it remained until 1938, by which time Piatigorsky for reasons unknown had slipped out of the reckoning and the completed Concerto was given its first performance in Moscow with Lev Berezovsky as the soloist and Alexander Melik-Pashayev conducting.
That such a private, sometimes enigmatic work could be heard at all in the year of the heroic film score Alexander Nevsky is surprising. Like the Symphonic Song, it was hardly clear-cut Soviet material, and after its unsuccessful premiere, Prokofiev turned his darkest, most private thoughts inwards to chamber and instrumental music. He remained convinced, as he later told his Soviet biographer Israel Nestyev, that 'the indifference to it is mere stupidity'. The full score remained unpublished but later a rising star barely in his twenties, Mstislav Rostropovich, found a copy with piano accompaniment and impressed the composer with his performance in December 1947. As Rostropovich remembered from their backstage encounter: 'Prokofiev told me that after listening carefully to the Concerto he had decided to rewrite it. I reminded him of this each time I met him after that, but without success.' What followed, in fact, was a completely new work—the Sonata for cello and piano Op 119—and the premiere of that, with Rostropovich eloquently partnered by Sviatoslav Richter (a recording survives), finally persuaded the now-ailing composer to the revision of his Concerto.
So began a two-year collaboration and a friendship that made an immeasurable impact upon the young cellist. Rostropovich spent long stretches of the summers of 1950 and 1951 at Prokofiev's dacha in Nikolina Gora outside Moscow, absorbing every possible trait of the master's character and habits as he worked on technical detail in the cello part and played through the results. As his fellow-cellist Alexander Ivashkin has demonstrated, Rostropovich saw to it that passages in the revision which sound fiendishly complicated lie more easily under the soloist's fingers than the more awkwardly written original Concerto. Prokofiev initially called this work his Cello Concerto No 2: surely a strange title for a piece which shares nearly all its material with its predecessor, however transformed—but after the 1952 premiere, with Rostropovich as soloist and Richter trying his hand as a conductor, he honed it still further as the Symphony-Concerto. He never lived to hear his final thoughts in performance.
The far less frequently performed Cello Concerto will sound familiar to many listeners, but distorted and at times unclear—through a glass darkly, as it were. The Symphony-Concerto blends a relatively clear-cut form alongside terrors and dissonances remarkable enough for the early 1950s; its prototype is a true child of Prokofiev's leaner but no less authentic 1930s self. The opening four-note figure common to both works is also the ostinato against which the heroine feels the effect of Friar Laurence's deathlike potion in the ballet Romeo and Juliet, composed in 1935, the year after Prokofiev temporarily abandoned the Concerto. Above it, the cellist's E minor theme is typical of the 'new melody' the composer was exploring in the early 1930s—easy to grasp at first, but soon wandering into unexpected territory. Already, in the Symphony-Concerto, we can hear how Prokofiev ballasted it to more direct melodic effect, and perhaps more conventionally how he pre-empts the Concerto's second, more forthright C major idea with the descending theme of the original dreamlike coda—presumably deemed too attractive a lyrical idea in the 1950s to throw away on a slow dissolve which weakens the soloist's determination.
Little more than a striking introduction in the Cello Concerto, the opening movement takes on a more decisive shape, complete with a more emphatic climax, in the Symphony-Concerto. The relative length and importance of the two succeeding dramas, on the other hand, is reversed. In the Concerto's central scherzo, some kind of fight ensues; but it is less pronounced and protracted than the Symphony-Concerto's reign of terror, and we notice by contrast how much more important are the woodwind solos in the selectively scored original (no trombones, as in the Violin Concerto No 2 of 1935). The cello's lurching, slightly macabre scherzo theme in the Symphony-Concerto is new: Rostropovich says it was when Prokofiev 'discovered' it to fit against the original material that he knew he wanted to start afresh. Much can also be learnt by comparing the restless accompaniment and presentation of the Concerto's most emotional melody, molto espressivo, with its newly ennobled and deeply moving role in the Symphony-Concerto; note, too, the original disconsolate aftermath led by the wan flute, which was to disappear from the revision. Typically, too, where the Symphony-Concerto's scherzo battles to an exhilaratingly sinister conclusion in which the full brass ensemble plays its threatening part, the original grinds to a helpless impasse.
The confident melody which follows without a break seems at first to help it out; but this is not to be the relatively robust finale of the later work, with its comically tuneful central contrast (contestedly a parody of a popular song by party hack Zakharov; Prokofiev provided an alternative, but most performers including Alban Gerhardt prefer the original). In the Concerto, two pale and, at first hearing, elusive interludes obstruct the progress of the four variations; before the second interlude a cadenza of hair-raising difficulty sounds in need of a Rostropovich to help out on matters of practical advice. The original denouement seems to face the spirit of despair, bringing back the dreams and depression of the first movement as well as the devil of the scherzo. How different this is from the manic final conflict of the Symphony-Concerto, which retreats into dreams with the theme before battling the scherzo's spectres and apparently escaping them in the last bars with a final flight into the stratosphere: a real leap of faith for a frail Prokofiev in the early 1950s. Although this is undeniably more exciting, the original surely remains a truthful portrayal of Prokofiev's uncharacteristic indecision during the riven 1930s. We are lucky to have them both.

What is being tested?
Red blood cells (RBCs), also called erythrocytes, are cells that circulate in the blood and carry oxygen throughout the body. The RBC count totals the number of red blood cells that are present in a person's sample of blood. It is one test among several that is included in a complete blood count (CBC), which is often used in the general evaluation of a person's health.
Blood is made up of a few different types of cells suspended in fluid called plasma. In addition to RBCs, there are white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets. These cells are produced in the bone marrow and are released into the bloodstream as they mature. RBCs typically make up about 40% of the blood volume. RBCs contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen and enables RBCs to carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and organs of the body. RBCs also help transport a small portion of carbon dioxide, a product of cell metabolism, from those tissues and organs back to the lungs where it is expelled.
The typical lifespan of an RBC is 120 days; thus the bone marrow must continually produce new RBCs to replace those that age and degrade or are lost through bleeding. There are a number of conditions that can affect the production of new RBCs and/or their lifespan, in addition to those conditions that may result in significant bleeding. These conditions may lead to a rise or drop in the RBC count.
Changes in the RBC count usually mirror changes in the hematocrit and hemoglobin level. When the values of the RBC count, hematocrit, and hemoglobin decrease below the established reference interval, the person is said to be anemic. When the RBC and hemoglobin values increase above the normal range, the person is said to be polycythemic. Too few RBCs can affect the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues, while too many RBCs can make the blood thicker, causing slowed blood flow and related problems.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm or by collecting blood from a fingerstick (for children and adults) or a heelstick (for newborns).
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Dear Enfys,
Thank you for sharing something besides cute, as that was just what I was thinking yesterday, the CD would be great for the kids' cards, but we have more adults in the family now than children. I love this butterfly!
One other thing I would love to know, how many different patterns, or options, - just how many different cards could we have the option of making with this CD? Never used a CD (can't be the only one) and really don't know what to expect!
Thanks for the awesome opportunity here, too, Enfys!
Soft and delicate is what I see when I look at this card. Lovely!!
These butterflies are ever so beautiful. Guess I'll be buying a Doodles CD next payday, you've shown so many great way they can be used.

A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.
Did you hear how Dave got totally catfished last month?! The fox he thought he was talking to turned out to be a pervy guy from San Diego!
I was really falling for that gorgeous gal on Facebook, but she turned out to be a catfish.

A simple man, with simple needs. He is honest, supportive, funny, caring, loving, handsome, gentle, cuddly, humble, and loves junk food. He can make you smile and laugh and he can take your breath away. He likes to play with your hair, kiss your forehead, hold your hand, and call you for no reason to talk about nothing for hours. There is no question when he looks at you, he looks straight into your soul and you know that he loves you unconditionally. He is the most amazing man in the world and every moment of my life would be better if I could spend it with him. He is my soul mate, my best friend, and my everything.
I love Catfish, he is my whole world.

Also, in your original post asking CW the question, you failed to include the website that I was referring too..
HOW convenient of you...
So let's ask again, shall we?
CW, is finheaven.com not known for the fans that contribute to the site for being extremly myopic, even going as far as once upon a time comparing Fiedler to Marino?

There is no more pure and powerful an electric bass than the one that started it all, the Precision. Fender's first bass guitar was the world's first bass guitar, and the Precision Bass has spent well more than half a century at the very heart of music of all kinds everywhere. Elegantly simple and enormously powerful, the Precision Bass is the worldwide standard for bass tone, performance, reliability and overall excellence.
When it debuted in late 1951, the Precision Bass guitar was not merely a new instrument; it was a new kind of instrument. And to say that it revolutionized music is an understatement; with its two-horned solid body, fretted neck and loud, booming sound, the Precision Bass profoundly revolutionized music. It has reigned ever since as a must-have instrument and the first name in electric bass.
Balanced and comfortably contoured, the Precision Bass was Fender's first two-horned instrument. Its familiar form has remained largely unchanged for more than half a century.
There's nothing like the big, sturdy neck of a Precision Bass and its smoothly playable fingerboard, in maple or rosewood.
One split-single-coil pickup placed in just the right spot is the heart of the formidable Precision Bass tone. Other pickup types and configurations impart even more tonal power and character.

Eight days of meat
Bob Madigan, WTOP's Man About Town
WASHINGTON - Do you like meat? Do you like meat so much you think it should be celebrated?
If you answered yes, then this event is for you.
Eight days of barbecue is officially underway thanks to D.C. Meat Week, which is honoring all things grilled, smoked and pulled.
"The idea is getting together with people who love barbecue and trying out a restaurant you might not have been to before or even know existed," says David Gootzit, meat aficionado and organizer of D.C. Meat Week.
From Monday to Thursday, specialty restaurants like Epic Smokehouse and Pork Barrel BBQ are opening their doors for specials. Friday, check out the food truck face-off hosted by Living Social in downtown D.C. Saturday's brunch at Kangaroo Boxing Club is already sold out, but there are still tickets for Sunday's closing event at Mr. P's in Northeast.
