Kate Mara Gossip
Kate Mara gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
"That's just my face penis"
FameFlynet, Pacific Coast News
One of the earliest rumours about the True Detective Season 2 casting was that Ellen Page and Kate Mara would replace Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. I was excited about that. I didn't really care for Season 1 but if they'd set it up like that for Season 2, I was in. Didn't happen. Full Story
Kate Mara: Repeat Shoes at the Emmys
Jason Merritt/ Getty Images
Really don't understand her devotion to these shoes. They're SO low classy. But Kate Mara wore them last year at the Emmys – click here for a refresher – and she's doing it again this year with a different strap. Toes get squished together in heels, we know. Full Story
True Detectives?
Ellen Page and Kate Mara went for a walk together in New York yesterday. Love the hang of Ellen's jeans. Love Kate's slip-on animal print kicks. Love that they're close. Did David Fincher bring them together? Will they be working together? There were some rumours after the first season of True Detective that it would be Ellen and Kate who'd take on season two. Full Story
Lupita in the middle
Jonathan Leibson/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
The May issue of Marie Claire features three covers: Lupita Nyong'o, Kate Mara, and Elle Fanning. There was a party last night in West Hollywood to celebrate. Both Kate and Elle wore red. And the result is that Lupita in the middle looked like the lead singer, the Beyonce to their Kelly and Michelle. Full Story
Give me the Kate Mara!
It must be incredibly laborious to be a Mara sister. Being so aloof and self-possessed is not easy (for these two). I look at someone like Tilda Swinton, who is always the baddest bitch in the room, and it is easy for her. She's just cool. Rooney and Kate strike me as the types who would bring a bottle of Chardonnay to a kegger and think it was so sophisticated. Full Story
Kate Mara: Best Globes Cleavage
FameFlynet, Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Jason Merritt/ Kevin Winter/ FREDERIC J. BROWN/ Getty Images
I had no idea, did you? This is not Kate Mara's usual steeze. Usually she takes the neckline right up and, if anything, she'll show a little side action – like at the Emmys – but balance it with full coverage everywhere else. Full Story
The Mara sisters at Her premiere
Valerie Macon/ Frazer Harrison/ Getty
Kate Mara showed up at the Los Angeles premiere of Her last night to support her sister, Rooney. It's a thing now with these two. Even at an event like this, they won't pose together. Is this fascinating to me, and only me, because I don't have a sibling? I have an almost-sibling called Cat. Full Story
Almost, Kate Mara
Frazer Harrison/ Jason Merritt/ ROBYN BECK/ Getty
I thought about giving it to Kate Mara, I did. Her white dress was among the best in a night where best, at best, was B+. And there were so few of those. It's J Mendel. It's a good idea, not greatly executed. Take a look at it from the side. You see that sheer pantyhose holding it together? Cheap. Full Story
The Maras at the CFDA Awards
FameFlynet, Andrew H. Walker/ Bryan Bedder/ Getty
Rooney Mara and Kate Mara were at the CFDA Awards last night in New York. Rooney posed with Francisco Costa. She wore Calvin Klein. Kate wore Dolce & Gabbana. I haven't been able to find any photos of the sisters together. If you see one, let me know. Duana has been paying particularly close attention to the Maras recently, noting first that they were both at the MET Gala last month and there were no pictures either and picking up the audio on Kate's voice during The Hollywood Reporter Drama Queens roundtable when she referred to her sister being an actor too -- click here Full Story
A Love Letter To My Favourites*
*Kerry Washington is my favourite of all the favourites It's not a "gossip gift" per se, but this potential drama nominees roundtable is the best gift I could have gotten. It's delicious. I know all these women, I watch all their shows – it feels strangely indulgent to have them all in the same room and saying things that they maybe shouldn't. Full Story
The MET Anti-Rooney: Kate Mara
Dimitrios Kambouris/ Larry Busacca/ Getty
Duana brought it up: that Kate Mara actively dresses exactly the opposite of her sister. Which must be the reason she went for this heinous baby doll with a terribly matched pair of heels. Come on, really? This is the best Kate Mara could do? No, she's not an Oscar-nominated film star but House Of Cards isn't insignificant either and besides, she was just in Prada Full Story
Love Triangles
Splash, Pacific Coast News
Somewhere between Brange-Aniston and LeAnne-Eddie-Brandi lives Kate Mara/Max Minghella/Justin Long. Maybe only 3 of you care about this but since Mara is in House Of Cards and everyone is talking about House Of Cards, it may be more interesting than you think. It's interesting to me because I was one of the few who actually saw Ten Years. Full Story
Aloof & Sister at the Oscars
Michael Buckner/JOE KLAMAR/Ethan Miller/Getty
Let me start with the dress...which I quite liked. It's Givenchy. The back is awesome. And so well suited to her aesthetic. I just think she couldn't hold it up, you know? Like carry it properly. Her body has a small part to do with that, sure, but mostly it's the oh-please-I'd-rather-be-developing-a-character-with-David-Fincher body language that she's wearing with it that undermines the creation. Full Story
Photo Assumption: Megan Fox & the Other Under 30s
Just for fun. From the Maui Film Festival. It's Megan Fox with Olivia Wilde, Andrew Garfield, and Garrett Hedlund. All of them are receiving awards at the event. I'm not sure Megan's award is acting related though... Anyway, the way I photo assume this first image it's like, well, the other three are tight, and then with Megan. Full Story

CORTLAND -- Michael Vick had long assured Marty Mornhinweg that he was on board with the plan.
While the organization has yet to declare Geno Smith the starting quarterback, Vick made it clear in the offseason that this is Smith's team. That's why the veteran quarterback wasn't fazed -- at least publicly -- by the discrepancy in first-team reps between the signal-callers.

(CNN) -- Severed telecommunications cables disrupted ticketing and airport check-in systems at Alaska Airlines on Monday, creating long delays and cancellations for thousands of passengers traveling at the end of a busy holiday weekend.
The Seattle-based airline said in a statement that it had to manually process passengers at key hubs after its Sprint network, which services ticketing, reservations and check-in, went down at 7:30 a.m. Pacific time. Service came back up around noon.
Seventy mainline and regional flights affecting some 6,000 passengers were canceled.
Delays, in some cases, reached four hours as the outage impacted operations at Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles and Anchorage.
Alaska said it expected a handful of additional cancellations and residual delays as it worked to restore normal operations.
The airline apologized to passengers, blaming the problem on a "network outage."
Sprint spokeswoman Crystal Davis said communication cables were cut nearly simultaneously about 2,000 miles apart, knocking out service to some customers in the Pacific Northwest.
The lines were severed near a railroad track between Chicago and Milwaukee and at a location between Tacoma, Washington, and Portland, Oregon.
Alaska said it would place delayed passengers on later flights or arrange travel on other carriers.
Passengers traveling on Monday and Tuesday were allowed to change their tickets in advance without paying a change fee. However, they were responsible for making up any difference in fares.
Low-cost Alaska is the 10th largest U.S. airline, according to Transportation Department data.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

could do a separate update piece on the attacks of FSA and defectors
including the: Turkey border incident, pipeline attack, and Syrian tanks
moving to the border. Those three attacks were not claimed by the FSA, so
it would be interesting to put that into the context that the FSA is
indeed quite nebulous and that if FSA aren't claiming these attacks it
could be that they don't want to claim them for PR reasons, or it could be
that the attacks were carried out by defectors or individuals not
associated with the FSA - which I think is interesting.

Two things that might fit here, if we're doing an overall update, would be
the info coming in this morning regarding the pipeline attack (which I
also believe to be a new tactic in Syria) and the recent weirdness on the
Turkish border, as per the Reuters report we saw on Tuesday regarding
Turkish military vehicles aiding opposition fighters (and wasn't there a
report about Syrian tanks being moved to that border as well?). I know we
have yet to confirm this info, but again, it's out there and we can put it
into context.

Opcenter wanted a discussion to be put out that touches on: Clinton's
recent statements, her visit to the opposition in Geneva, the returning
of Ford to Syria, and the recent crackdown on Homs, so here it is...
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made statements Dec. 6 in Geneva
that reinforced underlined or repeated - it doesnt strengthen Pres.
Obama's call in August for Assad to step down, as she illustrated that
Bashar Al Assad must leave from power. Clintona**s statements were
issued the same day as the US State Department's announcement that US
Ambassador Robert Ford is returning to Syria. The State Departmenta**s
official announcement noted that the return of Ford to Damascus is one
of the most effective ways to show US support for the people of Syria.
Since August the US stance on Syria has projected that Al-Assad cannot
continue in his presidency and official US remarks condemning Syria have
not gone too much further than that. The US and other Western countries
are very careful not to engage too deeply with the Syrian opposition
this is where you would definitely need to link to a piece explaining
the strategic reasons for not engaging, limiting interaction thus far to
dialogue Reva has insight that contradicts this - she can send it to you
while only acknowledging the SNCa**s legitimacy as an interlocutor,
instead of officially recognizing and endorsing it as the legitimate
representatives of the Syrian people. Despite some rumors suggesting
detailing the active development of plans for a buffer or no fly zone
in Syria, Turkey and western nations have not yet taken steps that would
even suggest such a move has been decided on - at this moment they
remain merely contingency plans <Link to piece on no fly/buffer zone>.
Meeting with the Syrian National Council
During Clintona**s visit to Geneva she met with Syrian exiled leaders of
the Syrian National Council (SNC) including president, Burhan Ghalioun.
This served as Clintona**s second meeting with members of the Syrian
opposition and follows the US desire to remain engaged with elements of
the opposition as a contingecny in case the opposition gets better and
to try to show that it is doing something. During the discourse Clinton
made it clear to the SNC that they need to engage with and include
Syrians of every ethnicity and gender into the opposition organization.
Since the beginning of the SNC's inception in September there have been
concerns that the SNC not fully representative of the entire Syrian
opposition I dont think anyone expects it to be fully representative,
but at least sufficiently representative where it gest some support from
most groups. As an opposition group based outside Syria, the amount of
real support the SNC garners from Alawites, Druze, Kurds, Christians and
even Sunni anti-regime protesters within Syria is unknown.
It is one of the key interests of the SNC to portray itself to the
international community as a the united front of the Syrian opposition
in efforts to gain international recognition and support. Furthermore
it is in the best interest perhaps even neccesary interest of the
greater Syrian opposition including protesters, SNC members and
supporters, and soldiers in the Free Syrian Army (FSA), to tilt the
scales in their favor by winning the support of the international
community though the media and propaganda. If the opposition can cause
force the western nations to recognize a severe humanitarian crisis as
well as present a unified contingency plan for Assada**s ouster, only
then can international intervention truly be considered. the logic is
that the opp wants to force the western nations to acknowledge a
humanitarian crisi which would force them because of political not
strategic reasons to take or increase significant action against the
Propaganda War Continues
In the midst of the propaganda war that has ensued since February, Assad
gave his first interview with US media since that time, and it consisted
of carefully crafted answers including his firm pronouncement that he
maintains the overwhelming support of the Syrian people. On a similar
note, when asked about the reports of the numerous human rights abuses
attributed to Syrian security forces and Shabiyha -pro regime plain
clothed militia- Al-Assad assured that such accounts and video footage
cannot be trusted. In some ways Assad's statement on the media is
true, in that claims from both the media and the opposition should be
take with a grain of salt considering the intentions of both sides and
that such claims cannot be independently verified.
Assada**s interview aired just one day after the apparent crackdown in
Homs Dec. 5 a** 6th according to several Syrian opposition groups
including the Syria based Local Coordinating Committee (LCC). The LCC
claims to receive their information from members of numerous LCC groups
throughout Syria and has proved to be fairly consistent during the
course of the unrest compared to many other opposition organizations
based outside Syria who tend to heavily inflate and even construct
claims. Should add how it compares to state media versions of events
Even in the case that LCC reports are inaccurate inflated, their
consistent daily reports serve as a trend line that can be monitored.
According to the LCC, during the span of the two days, of the 65
reportedly killed across Syria, 53 of them were reportedly killed in
Homs. On average 20-25 deaths are reported throughout Syria daily, the
majority of which are scattered between the main restive cities, and on
Friday the numbers can swell up to 30-35. During the course of the
unrest crackdowns such as the one reported in Homs do happen
occasionally, roughly every 1-1/2 to 2 months a crackdown in a
particularly restive city like Homs, Hama, Deraa, and Idlib is
However, it is important to remember that thus far Syrian protesters
have not been able to overwhelm Assada**s forces just as the crackdowns
by Syrian forces on demonstrators has not been able to silence
protesters and quell the unrest. Until the unrest can overwhelmingly
tip the scales of the international community in their favor, the
western approach to Syria will remain the same, relying mostly on
discourse with the opposition while only verbally condemning the human
rights abuses conducted by the regime. I would include here some of the
trip wires

About the Model R200Scherl & Roth has built a tradition and legacy of fine craftsmanship, meticulous shop adjusted standards, and a focus on value for the student musician. These instruments continue to display the high standards Heinrich Roth brought from Germany and remain the favorite of educators for their reliability, playability, sound and construction. Each Scherl & Roth instrument is Set-up & Ready!
"The solid carved spruce top provides an excellent sound board. The maple back and sides enhance greater projection and give a refined tonal quality. Flamed maple back and sides gives a stunning visual appeal to the instrument. True ebony pegs and fingerboard (not stained hardwood) facilitates reliable function and playability for many years. Full hand inlaid purfling (not painted) protects the solid top and back plates from splitting damage and demonstrates an attention to detail that other brands overlook. The delicately applied spirit varnish allows the top to resonate more freely to enhance the tone and projection of the instrument. Each instrument is set up by hand in our Cleveland Ohio facility to meet or exceed MENC (school requirements) for student instruments to give the player the best possible performance experience and inspiration. USA installed D'Addario Prelude strings provide a better tonal quality, longer string life and maximum playability. A good quality maple French Aubert bridge is carved so the feet match the top plate curvatures closely to transfer the most string vibration possible to produce the best tone and volume. A composite tailpiece with four integrated fine tuners makes the fine tuning of all strings easy and convenient for the student and teacher. A fiberglass bow gives the student a reliable camber without warping. The Mongolian horsehair ensures that the rosin adheres well and gives an even draw to the bow across the strings. The tough student friendly thermoplastic case with aluminum valance is an industry standard to protect the instrument from weather elements and minor mishaps. "
Heinrich Roth was a seventh-generation violinmaker who worked with his father, Ernst Heinrich Roth, and his brother, Albert, in the family shop in Markneukirchen, Germany. During the early 20th Century, the family had built a reputation for making fine string instruments and sold many to visiting Americans. In 1922, Heinrich was persuaded by his American customers and friends to come to the United States, bringing the experience and reputation of Roth instruments with him.
After a few brief jobs in violin departments of other companies, Roth's expertise led him to manage the Simson & Frey violin department, where his reputation grew throughout the United States and abroad. In 1932, upon the retirement of Herman Simsom, Roth teamed with Max Scherl to buy the Simson & Frey firm. They renamed it Scherl & Roth. In 1938, the company moved from New York to Cleveland, Ohio an early hub of violin manufacturing in the U.S.
After World War II, interest in string instruments bloomed as educators recognized the importance of developing school orchestras. Aiming to provide students with the finest instruments possible, Roth brought young, skilled violinmakers from Europe to his Cleveland violin shop. Under Roth's guidance, these craftsmen established the finishing and adjusting techniques and standards to provide fine, affordable school instruments in large quantities. Those standards later became the basis for those adopted by Music Educator's National Conference (MENC). Soon Scherl & Roth became one of the largest string shops in the world as well as the nation's largest supplier of string instruments and accessories. The entire Scherl & Roth line became recognized as the preferred choice of many leading string educators.

Taco Puffs Recipe
I got this recipe from a friend years ago and still make these cheesy sandwiches regularly. I serve them for dinner along with a steaming bowl of soup or fresh green salad. Any leftovers taste even better the next day for lunch. A helpful hint: Plain refrigerated biscuits seal together better than buttermilk types. —Jan Schmid Hibbing Minnesota
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1 envelope taco seasoning
- 2 tubes (16.3 ounces each) large refrigerated flaky biscuits
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the taco seasoning and prepare according to package directions. Cool slightly.
- Flatten half of the biscuits into 4-in. circles; place in greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans. Spoon 1/4 cup meat mixture onto each; sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Flatten the remaining biscuits; place on top and pinch edges to seal tightly. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Yield: 8 servings.

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco may be getting ready to shed its image as a city where anything goes, including clothing.
City lawmakers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on an ordinance that would prohibit nudity in most public places, a blanket ban that represents an escalation of a two-year tiff between a devoted group of men who strut their stuff through the city's famously gay Castro District and the supervisor who represents the area.

Available Projects
Basic outlet/switch single gang boxes are used for lighting applications all the time. Not my first option but still more than up to the job.
So you think you cab learn the NEC residential code by reading a book? Well that and about 5 years of dealing with homeowners, code officials and other trades may get you in the door.
If reading one book you can become a master electrician you would have never made the original post. You would have made the corrections needed to install the light and skipped all the griping. I run into people like you now and again. I set my pricing so high I miss out on the job or run to the bank with check in hand.
Hope all works out with your project, good luck.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky,
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
So how are people using these rectangular boxes then, that was what I was originally wondering about? I know there would be a learning curve but if the information is out there then anyone with the desire can learn it, like other disciplines. Just sad when a person hires a so called professional and you have outlets that don't even have wire connected, and they still don't work with the wires connected, sections of wall requiring outlets with no outlets etc. etc. it is BS. When I hear someone say "hire a professional" I just say yah right..
I think communication is the answer, I am not trying to be a ***** on this forum I really appreciate all the info I have tapped into. I realize that not all electricians put out this type of work and that is good. I was presented with a rectangular off center box and a couple off center wires and because I am ignorant I asked the initial questions, not to offend but to learn. Thanks for all the info.
So what does the electrician who did the installation say about this, or has he not been contacted yet?
If not, what are the next steps you're taking to move forward and resolve the issue so you can get it done and it doesn't stress you any more?
I generally use them for junction boxes in the attic or crawlspace -- not for installing lights. But I haven't seen any picture of what rectangular box they installed, so I am guessing which ones. Might have been a junction box type or a double gang light switch or outlet box??????????? Or part of an outdoor weatherproof box.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr,
They make it look so easy on tv, don't they
We might be talking about octagon boxes, which at first glance looks square. Four square boxes while providing more space for box fill requirements also tend to add to the problems with the box ring extenders needed. But also are just as helpful as long as you can track down the properly sized ring. Whew!
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
Hope all works out for your project. A few posters on board will ask for a photo or a link to be posted and that would have helped in speedy fashion.
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
Will do with the photo, it was just a standard plastic one switch outlet box, and then wires in other locations. I looked and said huh, I must be missing something so here I am. Did track the fellow down but he won't return my calls, I called before I found the dud receptacles. I have never met the fellow myself. My husband says they got along fine, he didn't piss him off or anything so not sure why someone would do that? or why he would not both working to code? thanks again
I have said it time and time again....when i contractor says he is finished, and sticks his hand out for payment. it is YOUR responabilty to walk the job. ask questions. double ck everything that has been done. if your smart, you would have put in the contract, a 20% 30 day hold out, till your satisifed. a lot of subs will balk at this, but if there on the up and up, wont hurt a bit
post pictures of what you have, sparky will look at it, he a fair guy
I think you can move past the query as to why it was done as it was and address the issue of correcting or resolving it. If the contractor doesn't return your calls, you're not going to find out the "why".
If you feel the work wasn't to code, have you contacted the electrical inspector for your community? Have you contacted the licensing and registration department of your state to make a complaint?
i am not sure, no pictures to verify
but you might have a splice/junction box in the attic
if his wire was to short. he may have made a junction in the attic. as long as its acessable and is all in a box its legal. you have to ask the resident sparky..he can tell you fo sho..post a picture
Sorry to hear about the "electrician" i.e. in actuality sounds like a handyman not willing to correct his mistakes. Those instances give all craftsman & tradesmen a black eye. Heck we all have corrections to redo in life but actually doing those in a timely fashion keeps a person in business.
BBBs are a joke in my opinion so methinks a call to them is a waste of your time. Another electrician is also an option, but then you are basically paying twice for the work. How fair is that?
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
I ended up using the round plastic work box with wings where the wires were over the vanity, looks okay. Now I have the rectangular plastic box to deal with ... to replace it with the round one will leave me with too big a hole and not sound wall for the wings to tighten against so..... you all say this is no big deal so ....when you are buying lights for this type of box what are you looking for? none of the lights I have ever bought would fit this set up .. I know there are lighting stores out there but how do you know when you buy one online (only option right now) and then if your box is off center how are you centering it above the vanity? thanks again .. i hope

I have a political button that has been sitting on my desk since I ran for office in 2010. The pink button asks the question: "Who needs more WOMEN in government?" and answers it with "Colorado."
Although it was given to me by a local man, it was certainly the theme of that election year. If all of the Democratic women running for Colorado's Senate had been elected, the Senate today would be controlled by Democratic women. Not just Democrats, but Democrats with girl parts.
At the time State Sen. Morgan Carroll headed the efforts to elect more Democratic Senators. I first met her while attending a training session for candidates. She later reviewed my campaign plan. Even later she drove to Grand Junction with two young staffers to spend the day knocking on doors with me.
Morgan Carroll is a beautiful woman, tall with fiery red hair and a winning smile that can light up your day. She is smart and ambitious. I'd like to introduce her to all of you because this is her last term in the Senate, where she holds a leadership role. There is no doubt in my mind that she is going to stay in the political arena, the only thing I don't know is which office she will run for when she is term-limited out of her current job. My guess is that it will be for a statewide position. Rumors in Denver are that she will run either for secretary of state or governor. I'm hoping that she goes after Gov. Frackenlooper's job in a primary.
I'm pretty tired of a governor that is walking around talking about how safe fracking fluid is just because once upon a time he worked as a geologist in the industry. Drinking CleanStim is hardly the same as drinking the toxic cocktail that is actually used by the industry in fracking wells in Colorado. Although the governor has had to walk back on that outrageous claim, he did a lot of damage when he testified in Washington that fracking is safe. It could possibly be made safe, but so long as we have the potential for industrial accidents in the wilderness, we need to proceed with caution.
Morgan Carroll knows all of this. Last year she tried to introduce a bill that would ban fracking on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal site in Aurora, her district. Once upon a time there were chemical weapons, stored in rusting underground barrels at that site. According to a friend of mine, who attended National Guard exercises at Buckley, the water at the site usually had a sheen, reflecting the level of pollution. I don't know how well all of that has been cleaned up, but if it had CDPHE looking for a cheap solution as they did at Rocky Flats, it is likely that the ground is still full of toxins which would be disturbed and enhanced by the addition of fracking fluids. Would you want to drink water that ran off of the site?
This year she entered a bill that is even more important to women in Colorado. The bill would sever the rights of the father if the pregnancy was the result of a rape. I can't even imagine the horrors of a rape victim, who decided to keep the child conceived during a brutal attack, only to be sentenced to a lifetime of court battles, keeping the child safe while fostering a court-ordered "relationship" with the criminal rapist. While I don't think the father should be let off the hook financially, he should not have any access to either the mother or the child. Perfect example of why Colorado needs more women in government - the men running the show didn't think of this bill, Morgan Carroll did.
As the Majority Leader in the Senate, Carroll already has the influence and contacts to make things happen. At her website she says, "I am philosophically committed to a progressive populist approach to representing ordinary citizens over and above any and all special interests. I believe in advocating for people's interests over large corporations or large government. I believe in protecting the Constitution." I believe in Morgan Carroll.

The Alpha SV was created to address the need for a lightweight, streamlined, waterproof jacket that could work with a harness and withstand the severity of alpine terrain and climate conditions. Hardwearing, stripped down and unlike anything else at the time, the Alpha SV was introduced in 1998 and quickly became an icon. It still stands as an essential hardshell for any serious alpine, rock or ice climber willing to brave extreme conditions.
Constructed from N80p-X , a face fabric five years in development, the Alpha SV Jacket delivers exceptional durability, yet is supple and resilient. Engineered to shed water, snow and resist abrasion, the fabric utilizes larger yarns that are very tightly woven to create a smooth but highly abrasion resistant surface.
Arc'teryx constantly refines their designs, seeking the most effective answers to unforgiving environments and technical problems. Constantly refined over time to improve function, the Alpha SV delivers essential, focused features. Traditional bellowed crossover pockets sit high and work with harness and packs, and the helmet compatible StormHood™ cinches tight and covers the neck, head and lower face. Removable HemLock™ inserts keep jacket in position while in use with a harness and WaterTight™ zippers seal out weather.
Arc'teryx e3D patterning provides enhanced mobility with a precise, clean, use specific fit that doesn't sacrifice coverage. The Athletic fit is streamlined, but accommodates layers, and the Arc'teryx commitment to ergonomic freedom, especially vital while climbing, is a key aspect of the Alpha SV's legendary performance.
