The perfect jacket for serious mountaineering (and shiny hip-hop shows).
The southern Sierra's chill can be brutal, especially above 10,000 feet . It would be easy for some to turn back, but you are all in, and so is your Western Mountaineering Meltdown Down Jacket. This hardcore jacket has your back with 850-fill down and a look that says, "dammit, this is my mountain!"
- 850-Fill down carries serious loft, quick compression rebound, and the kind of warmth that keeps your keeps your ice axe swinging hour after hour.
- The lightweight, water-resistant microfiber shell handles ice-drips and dishes out durability in rough terrain and in rough neighborhoods
- Two-way zippers with draft protection allow easy access (unless, of course, you're the wind)
- The elastic drawcord waist closure will shank those hateful updrafts before they chill your middle
- Hood zips into the collar so it won't flop around behind your head when you don't need it

Is this good for Denali or should I up it to the snojack?
Bill Porreca
I would up it to the Snojack if this is your big belay puffy for when you might not be moving, its really cold, and you cannot avoid exposure. We had the Mountain Hard wear Absolute Down jackets and a few days we absolutely needed them. I have to admit we didnt use them much, we also had unseasonably great weather for an extended period of time. The 3 days it was storming, to shovel snow off the tent and stay warm I wore the following: Capilene 1, R1 Hooded Sweatshirt, Micro Puff, Down Sweater and then the Absolute Down. Used the hood and a gator. This is a picture of Casey on that storm day, he had on a similar system. I think he just had one ultra light puffy and a fleece under the big jacket.

Hello I'm 6-1 205 I have an xxl Heath that fits great with room to spare ,will this jacket in xl fit me ?
Jared Lee O Davis
Hi there! For this jacket I believe the XL would be your best bet without being too snug or overly big either.
W.M. set the bar pretty high
I recently got this down jacket in and it is even warmer than the Flight Down Jacket. It has a great hood that may be stored away and has plenty of loft, yet not too bulky. The wrist adjustments are adjustable as well.

Does this parka bleed feathers on the inside?
Dave Marcus
All down jackets will shed a few feathers here and there. It won't cover you with down when you wear it, but don't expect not to see a feather on your under-layers after use.
Kate Williamson
After having various brands of down jackets, my Western jacket sheds down the slowest. It is the nature of small compressible things like down to wiggle through the microscopic holes in fabric as Dave said, but Western likes to source the highest thread counts they can find that will meet their durability/lightweight requirements to keep shedding to an absolute minimum.
Vince R.
One of the best down parkas.
Wow, this is an incredible piece of gear. By far the best down parka I have ever used. The quality is as near perfect as is possible. The down has an incredible amount of loft for its weight. The fabric is highly water and wind resistant. The fabric is very light and is not extremely durable but it is not overly fragile either. My parka (size small) runs in at under 17oz. This parka makes for a perfect belay jacket and gives comfort of mind when you throw it in your pack for a day out in the mountains. Standing around at camp this thing is a blessing. The hood is very nice and has lots of loft. I wouldn't store it with the hood stowed away, I think you could ruin the loft of the jacket. Also this jacket is made in Canada which is a nice change from overseas manufacture.
Excuse me,does it run small in size suggestion?
Vince R.
No, not in my experience anyway

Just the best
This jacket has been a life saver. Sort of. I've actually never been in a position to have my life saved before. That I know of. The jacket is very warm and the hood is a big plus. Use the hood when you need it and put it back in it's zippered neck compartment when you don't. It's very warm and a good addition for anyone wanting to make sure they will be warm in the winter. I had to break mine out over the new year while winter camping around lake Tahoe. The temps were much colder than expected so I just put the jacket on and slid back into my sleeping bag. Kept me toasty warm. All in a very lightweight package and super compressible. As a note, you can't hide the hood on the fly. You have to take the jacket off to stuff the hood back inside its compartment. There has been a tiny loss of feathers but nothing major. Not yet. This jacket is really built to last and it should for the price.
I'm 6'0 85 athletic build and the large is perfect. Especially when you have some layers underneath.
Tom Gordon
Expedition parka without the bulk
This is a parka that I wish I could wear more often. My days of expedition climbing are probably over. Having climbed Denali and Western Canadian peaks, I can only say that I wish I'd had this jacket during my most adventuresome climbs. Like all Western jackets, the Meltdown uses minimum 850 fill goose down. Most of our down tests higher, in the 900 to 950 range. The fabric is slightly heavier and water resistant than the stuff used in Western's Flight or Flash Jackets. This adds to the durability and suggests its use without a layer over top. Only the soggiest days would wet out this jacket. This begs the question: Why would you wear this jacket anywhere above 20 degrees F, anyway?
The downfilled hood tucks easily into the collar yet reappears to provide super cold weather protection. The jacket's fit is generous to accommodate layers underneath. My size large weighs 17 oz. on my postal scale yet would be my jacket of choice for another shot at Alaskan peaks or winter camping in my state of origin, Minnesota. Don't be fooled by the overall weight. It's got more than enough down to keep you toasty! It's just the good stuff!
Joseph Junior Torchia
Hello Tom
Your coments have convinced me in ordering one of these 2 jackets. I live in Montreal, Quebec and it get very cold here in winter in the city. Im walking everyday to the gym and catching the subway to work.
Which jacket would you say in the warmest between the "Meltdown Down" and Flash XR Down Jacket? I don't like to layer I preffer to only wear my V-neck t-shirt underneath.
Looking forward to ur reply.
hey the fill weight(amount of down) of this jacket is 6.5 ounces whereas the flash is only 3.5 ounces. so this is considerably warmer with almost twice as much down so you can imagine how much thicker it would be. the xr is quite thin and more of a layering piece thats warmer and lighter than the alternative being a fleece. the xr does have some water resistence though for when its soggy out and you just need to throw it over your soft or hard shell while climbing without having to swap layers and expose yourself to the wetness!
looking for a jacket for my husband who works in Nome,AK. Its currently -1o and we are just going into winter! He needs something he can move in and throw a fleece layer underneath. Suggestions?
Luke Humphrey
I get cold with a 32oz+ 850 fill EB down jacket in 20 degree weather with wind chill. Everyone is different I guess.
is this a slim athletic fit or what
is this a slim athletic fit or what
Tom Gordon
This jacket is not what I would describe as an athletic fit. It is intended to be worn over other layers and produce ultimate protection from cold. It fits under my slightly oversized Gore-Tex jacket for "full on" weather protection since it is water resistant but not water proof.
Full cut is how I would best describe the fit. I'm male, 5'9" and 200 lbs. My large fits with room to layer underneath.

Well the 'depends on' buisness is only due to the unconditional probing of TIS_MEM_BASE for a tpm, and then the autodetection of an IRQ number. That procedure is very much X86 only. My patch removes the unconditional probe when OF support is turned on, so it is safe to use on any platform only when OF is enabled. Yes it is really wonky, but unconditionally probing HW in a driver is wonky these days too.. Jason

using tree trimming for Xmas
Every year when we trimmed up all the trees on our large lot, my hubby would set aside any branches between 1 to 2" across. All summer long he would build bird houses with a removable side (for cleaning). Come late fall, those branches would be cut in half length-wise on his band saw, and then he and our two little granddaughters would get to work. All the bird houses were sided with 'log' siding. and given to all the respective families for Xmas presents.
It was something to watch 4 and 5 year olds learn to use a hammer and pound a nail. Some were sold at craft fair booths set up in a local mall.
Such a great lesson for kids to learn about starting a small business with hard work.
Some of you could teach preservation of dried flowers and decorating grape vine wreaths.
This gramma taught her little grands how to make microwave fudge. It was quite a hit with all the extensive family.
For all you moms and dads and grams and gramps out there; hey, put your ingenuity to work.
Also, pass on any worthwhile ideas for the rest of us.
Especially if it uses garden products.

A tsunami warning is in effect in the Indian Ocean following powerful earthquakes off the coast of Indonesia's Aceh province, prompting evacuations from coastal regions and alarm in areas struck by a devastating wave in 2004.
Wednesday's first quake was measured at a magnitude of 8.6, according to the US Geological Survey, which revised down an earlier 8.9 estimate.
US seismologists reduced the area under watch for a possible tsunami.
The US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said a tsunami watch now is in effect for Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Maldives and the British Indian Ocean Territory of Diego Garcia, removing several other countries from tidal wave risk.
A few thousand people were evacuated to higher ground from parts of India's Andaman and Nicobar islands.
"There could be high waves of 1.5 metres at Port Blair and 3.9 metres at Campbell Bay," said Prabhakar Rao, the official in charge of the disaster control room at Port Blair, the main town on the islands.
Small waves about half-a-metre high and within normal tide limits had already washed into the Campbell Bay area on the Great Nicobar island, the official said.
At least three tsunamis of up to 80cm hit Indonesia's coast, Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency said.
A small tsunami measuring 10cm also reached Thailand's Andaman Coast.
Phillip Charlesworth, head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies delegation in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, told Al Jazeera that the first quake lasted for about three minutes.
"The shaking was quite violent, from conversations with our staff," he said. "There appears to be no apparent damage. We certainly don't know what the humanitarian impact is as yet. There are no reports of any tsunamis coming ashore, although local authorities are taking precaution of evacuating coastal communities."
There were several strong aftershocks, including one at a 8.2 magnitude and the depth of 10km.
"The aftershock continued for four minutes, and it was strong," an AFP news agency correspondent in Banda Aceh, the provincial capital, said. "People are panicking and running outside their home and from buildings."
Al Jazeera's Aela Callan said the tremors were also felt in Bangkok, where buildings swayed, but there were no reports of damage.
The initial quake had struck at a depth of 33km, 495km from Banda Aceh.
Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Myanmar, Thailand, Maldives, British Indian Ocean territories, Malaysia, Mauritius, Reunion, Seychelles, Pakistan, Somalia, Oman, Madagascar, Iran, UAE, Yemen, Comoros, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Mozambique, Kenya, Crozet Islands, Kerguelen Islands, South Africa, Singapore
The tsunami watch was in effect across the whole Indian Ocean, including Australia, Pakistan, Somalia, Madagascar, and many other countries.
"Earthquakes of this size have the potential to generate a widespread destructive tsunami that can affect coastlines across the entire Indian Ocean basin," the US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.
People in Banda Aceh jumped into cars and the backs of motorcycles, clogging streets as they fled to high ground.
Al Jazeera's Syarina Hasibuan in Jakarta said people panicked across the island of Sumatra, running out of buildings and gathering in the streets.
"The earthquake was felt all the way to Padang, which is west Sumatra, and people ran out of buildings and there is really a lot of panic there."
People on Twitter said tremors were felt in Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and India. High-rise apartments and offices on Malaysia's west coast shook for at least a minute.
In Sri Lanka, residents on the coast were ordered to move inland to avoid being hit by any large waves.
A government statement said waves could hit the island's eastern port district of Trincomalee by about 10:40 GMT.
"There is a strong possibility of a tsunami hitting the island after the earthquake in Indonesia," meteorological department deputy director M D Dayananda said.
He said the quake in Indonesia was felt in Sri Lanka, which is 1,340km northwest from the location of the quake.
Residents fleeing
People near the coast in six Thai provinces were ordered to move to higher places and stay as far away as possible from the sea. The Phuket airport, right on the coastline, was closed.
Al Jazeera's Kevin Corriveau comments on the tsunami alert
Al Jazeera's Callan said phone lines were jammed as people were checking on their loved ones right after the tsunami alert was issued.
She said warning signals had been heard in southern provinces.
"Thailand is quite prepared for this. They hold drills regularly to be able to get tourists and residents to evacuate to higher areas."
Indonesia straddles a series of fault lines that makes the vast island nation prone to volcanic and seismic activity.
A 9.1-magnitude quake off the country on December 26, 2004, triggered a tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 230,000 people, nearly three quarter of them in Aceh.
Al Jazeera's meteorologist Kevin Corriveau explained the difference between Wednesday's quake and that of 2004: "They were the same depth but the 2004 quake was a subduction earthquake - meaning one plate went underneath the other plate - which then pushed a lot of the water up and out from the epicentre," he said.
"This [in Aceh] is a horizontal plate. The difference is that the two plates are slipping side by side, and not as much water is going to be displaced.
"Now that we are processing the data we know that it is a different kind of plate slippage, which is a little less damaging hopefully than the previous one."

The Boston Red Sox, New England's most beloved sports team, are the world champions of baseball. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay wonders what we can learn from these men who played a boys game with joy.
Fifty years ago, the French-born cultural historian Jacques Barzun wrote a lyrical paean to baseball. His most noted passage was that ``whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball, the rules, and reality of the game.''
They've done it again.
The Red Sox have won their third World Series title in less than a decade.
Back at Fenway Park last night for Game 6 of the series, the Red Sox easily beat the Saint Louis Cardinals 6-to-1.
Karen Given was there.
The Boston Red Sox kick off their World Series battle against the St.Louis Cardinals tonight at Fenway Park.
Here at Rhode Island Public Radio we have a couple of Red Sox fanatics who also cover politics; so we asked them to take off their political hats for a moment, and put on their baseball caps.
Morning Edition host Elisabeth Harrison sits down with our political team Ian Donnis and Scott MacKay, to talk about the exciting series.

Idaho government accounting principles
Donna M. Jones has been Idaho State Controller since 2007. The Idaho state controller is one of seven statewide elected constitutional officers in the executive branch of Idaho state government and serves a four-year term. In 1994, a constitutional amendment passed by Idaho voters changed the name of the state auditor to state controller. This amendment granted the state controller the authority to establish statewide internal pre-audit accounting controls to assure state funds are spent properly. The amendment transferred post-audit functions to the Legislative Services Office enabling separation of accounting and after-the-fact auditing operations.[2]
The state controller is the chief fiscal officer of the state of Idaho, responsible for:[3]
- Maintaining all accounting and financial records
- Paying all the state's bills and employees
- Preparing the state's annual financial report
- Operating the state's Computer Service Center
In a report published in May 2012, The Institute for Truth in Accounting (IFTA) rated Idaho "Timely" in filing the state's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) – The annual report of state and local governmental entities. IFTA rated 23 states timely, 24 states tardy, and 3 states excessively tardy. IFTA does not consider the state's CAFRs, and those of the other states, to be accurate representations of the state's financial condition because the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) basis does not include significant liabilities for the pension plans and for other post employment benefits, such as health care.[4] Idaho's CAFRs are published online by the Idaho State Controller.[5]
Accounting transparency checklist
The good
- The website has Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR) dating back to 1996.[6]
- An independent auditor's report is published on page 2 of the document.[6]
- It provides supplements to the budget workup, such as non-major Governmental funds, starting on page 105 of the document.
- The budget is posted using organized and consistent methods of financial reporting.
- Idaho law requires a balanced budget and prohibits a deficit at the end of the year to be carried over to the following year.[7]
- It includes all costs incurred by the government, including future liabilities, starting on page 139 of the document.
- The CAFR compares estimated and actual budgetary numbers, such as on page 98 of the document.
- The Idaho office was timely in submitting the budget.
The bad
- The CAFR is posted in PDF format, so it's not searchable online.

Blue hostas and sun
I have a place where I want some blue hostas. It's in the shade most of the day, but does get sun in the late afternoon. I've read that the surface wax that causes their blueness melts in the sun. Of course, NW sun isn't like sun in a lot of places. Does anyone have any experience? Thank you.
Assuming their water needs are met, I believe you may have an excellent site for the blue hosta.
I believe blue hosta like a little bit--but not too much--sun for their best coloration. A couple of hours of direct sun & even several hours of a combination of sun/dappled shade will not stress this plant. They'll do fine in full shade but will look less "blue" and more "green".
NW summer sun (like Bigfoot, is it myth or does it actually
exist) won't be melting the wax off any plant.
My opinion only
There are a number of very sun tolerant hostas. Generally, those with gold or highly variegated foliage develop their best coloring in at least part sun (morning sun is ideal), while the blues or solid greens are extremely shade tolerant and will maintain their color in virtually total shade.
All of my hostas received at least part sun and did very well, but I attribute a lot of that to very good soil conditions. Of the blues, 'Halcyon', 'Elegans', 'Krossa Regal' and 'Blue Angel' are supposed to have maximum sun tolerance.

The Bridge of San Luis Rey (eBook)
The Bridge of San Luis Rey (eBook)
"On Friday noon, July the twentieth, 1714, the finest bridge in all Peru broke and precipitated five travelers into the gulf below." With this celebrated sentence, Thornton Wilder begins The Bridge of San Luis Rey, one of the towering achievements in American fiction and a novel read throughout the world.
By chance, a monk witnesses the tragedy. Brother Juniper seeks to prove that it was divine intervention rather than chance that led to the deaths of those who perished in the tragedy. His study leads to his own death -- and to the author's timeless investigation into the nature of love and the meaning of the human condition.
The Bridge of San Luis Rey is now reissued in this handsome hardcover edition featuring a new foreword by Russell Banks. Tappan Wilder has written an engaging and thought-provoking afterword, which includes unpublished notes for the Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, illuminating photographs, and other remarkable documentary material. Granville Hicks's insightful comment about Wilder suggests an inveterate truth: "As a craftsman he is second to none, and there are few who have looked deeper into the human heart."

All Souls' Day
Cees Nooteboom, trans Susan Massoty
512pp, Picador, £16.99
Arthur is a middle-aged Dutch documentary-maker who has recently lost his wife and child in a plane crash. Now he lives rootlessly in Berlin and, when he's not off on jobs, mooches about filming "a series of fragments" - empty staircases, fenced-off spaces, lone figures in doorways - for a solipsistic project no one will ever see.
His best friends - a philosopher, a sculptor and a physicist - are self-consciously eccentric in that superannuated hippy way. They come and go, always enigmatically, making dramatic gestures and talking in sulky, intellectual riddles. They discuss art (Caspar David Friedrich), music (Wagner), the semantics of language (in both Dutch and German) and the metaphysics of existence. They blunder along, turning and pivoting words into meaninglessness - as when one of them leaves an answering machine message for Arthur: "It's funny - you're in Japan now, but by the time you get this message, it'll be another 'now'. So call me when it's now."
While his friends fairly burst with such urgent gobbets of information, Arthur is increasingly drawn to Elik, a chippy history student (does nobody in Nooteboom's world have a real job?) who pops over for sex and leaves again in morose silence, refusing to reveal anything about herself. Compared with the physicist, sculptor and philosopher, this comes as a blessed relief. But Arthur spends a great deal of time "searching" for her, mainly because she never tells him where she lives. Mystifyingly, if pluckily, he seems to believe that his salvation lies with this woman - though this reader is inclined to think he should just get out more, or at least get on to directory enquiries.
Nooteboom has won prizes in his native Holland, and our own A S Byatt has called him one of the greatest modern novelists, so maybe I'm missing something. It's clear that Nooteboom knows more than enough about art, philosophy, semantics and the whole onanistic malarkey, but the effect of his prose is so blindingly didactic that you quickly feel you would pay good money to have someone smile or burp or drop something or talk about anything other than the reunification of Germany or the iconography of late German romanticism.
I also wondered whether Susan Massoty's translation - unbearably arch, enervatingly fussy - might be letting him down. Does anyone under the age of 80 ever say "My my" or "You bet your boots"? You suspect it's supposed to seem bohemian, whimsical even. Instead, like Elik's adolescent moodiness, it just grates because it's all such a put-up job.
If Nooteboom's trying to do what I think he's trying to do - to describe the bitter, dislocated journey of a man from deep grief into a kind of salvation - then he's failing. Most of all, we are never allowed to empathise with, let alone believe in, the tragedy that has befallen Arthur. The dead wife and child are no more than juicy, gratuitous sidebars. No, "juicy" is too kind; they're just bland tidbits, laid whingingly there on the page, and you quickly begin to resent them.
There are great novels out there about the desperate fallout following loss and bereavement. Anne Tyler's The Accidental Tourist or Oscar Hijuelos's achingly unshowy Mr Ives's Christmas are both novels of ordinary people, of daily incident and daily sorrow, of the small, meaningless deaths of children. They do not trade in art or history or big ideas precisely because intellectual posturings have no value, no purpose in such stories.
