Title: The Housing Market and the U.S. Business Cycle
We develop a forecasting model of U.S. GDP growth, 1956-2009. Perhaps counter-intuitive to some, we conclude that changes in the real value of tangible assets, comprised mostly of real estate, do not have an important role in forecasting future growth, once one controls for the conventional macroeconomic variables.

Title: Real-Time Inflation Forecasting in a Changing World
This paper revisits inflation forecasting using reduced form Phillips curve forecasts, i.e., inflation forecasts using activity and expectations variables. We propose a Phillips curve-type model that results from averaging across different regression specifications selected from a set of potential predictors. The set of predictors includes lagged values of inflation, a host of real activity data, term structure data, nominal data and surveys. In each of the individual specifications we allow for stochastic breaks in regression parameters, where the breaks are described as occasional shocks of random magnitude. As such, our framework simultaneously addresses structural change and model certainty that unavoidably affects Phillips curve forecasts. We use this framework to describe PCE deflator and GDP deflator inflation rates for the United States across the post-WWII period. Over the full 1960-2008 sample the framework indicates several structural breaks across different combinations of activity measures. These breaks often coincide with, amongst others, policy regime changes and oil price shocks. In contrast to many previous studies, we find less evidence for autonomous variance breaks and inflation gap persistence. Through a real-time out-of-sample forecasting exercise we show that our model specification generally provides superior one-quarter and one-year ahead forecasts for quarterly inflation relative to a whole range of forecasting models that are typically used in the literature.

Title: The HESSIAN Method: Highly Efficient Simulation Smoothing, In A Nutshell
State space models, which govern the interaction of observed data and unobserved states, are very useful in capturing dynamic relationships, especially where there are changing, but latent, economic conditions: the states may be state variables in macroeconomic models, volatility in asset markets or time-varying model parameters. In this paper, I describe the HESSIAN method for non-linear non-Gaussian state space models. It involves an approximation of the conditional density of states given data that can be evaluated and simulated exactly. The approximation can be used as a proposal density, for Bayesian inference using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods; or as an importance density, useful for approximating the likelihood function through simulations. Because the approximation is so close, fast MCMC and importance sampling are feasible and highly numerically efficient for problems where alternatives are inefficient or intractable. I compare the performance of the HESSIAN method with methods currently used in the literature.

Title: Efficient Estimation via Generalised Splitting
Adaptive importance sampling techniques such as the cross-entropy method have proved to be very useful in rare-event probability estimation. However, for high-dimensional problems the importance sampling estimator can become unreliable, due to the degeneration of the likelihood ratio. We propose a new rare-event estimation method based on the classical splitting idea of Kahn and Harris. The new method does not use importance sampling, is non-parametric, and remains stable in higher dimensions. We demonstrate its effectiveness by estimating the number of solutions in the satisfiability (SAT) problem.

Title: WALS model averaging
Parameter estimation under model uncertainty is a difficult and fundamental issue in econometrics. One way to approach this problem --- and hence to avoid the harmful pretest effect --- is via model averaging. In model averaging all potential models play a role, but in varying degree of importance. We shall introduce a new method, calles weighted average least squares (WALS), and compare the performance with the dominant method (Bayesian model averaging - BMA). Our proposed method has two major advantages over BMA: its computational burden is trivial and it is based on a transparent definition of prior ignorance.

Title: Resource Allocation in a Tactical Arms Race with Temporary Advantages
We consider an arms race between two opponents (e.g., government forces vs. insurgents) where each advantage that is achieved by one of the opponents is limited in time and expires when the other opponent develops a new weapon or counter-measure (in contrast with the "winner-takes-all" situation that characterizes much of the literature on investments in competitive business environments). We first consider a variety of models that apply to a one-sided situation, where the defender has to determine how much to invest in developing counter-measures to a weapon employed by the attacker. The decision problems are expressed as (convex) nonlinear optimization problems. We present an example that provides some operational insights regarding optimal resource allocation. We also consider a two-sided situation and develop a Nash equilibrium solution that sets investment values so that both parties have no incentive to change.

Title: Estimation of Autoregressive Conditional Duration (ACD) Models using Estimating Functions and QMLE Methods
We consider the class of Autoregressive Conditional Duration (ACD) models to analyze the time gaps (durations) between consecutive transactions. Since the popular maximum likelihood (MLE) procedure is diffcult to implement in practice, we use an alternative estimation method based on estimating functions (EF). Using a large scale simulation study, we show that this EF method is easier to apply than the MLE in practice and produces similar results. We also discuss the class of log ACD models and use QMLE methods for parameter estimation following Allen et al (2008). If time permits, we consider some examples from real data sets to illustrate these estimation methods.

Title: When Does Soft Talk Matter?: Evidence from Officer Quotations in Earnings Press Releases
We employ a sample of quotations from earnings press releases to ascertain factors influencing the information content of qualitative disclosures by management. We find that, after controlling for quantitative aspects of the earnings release disclosure, the degree of optimism conveys significant incremental information content when quantitative earnings guidance is not provided in the release. The information content of the degree of optimism is reduced when quantitative guidance is provided, which is consistent with quantitative guidance crowding out information transmission via qualitative disclosure. In addition, we provide some evidence that the information content of qualitative disclosure is enhanced if management perceives greater litigation risk and is reduced when investors have less favourable perceptions of management.

Title: Optimal Sample Size Allocation for Multi-Stress Tests using Extreme Value Regression
In this talk, I will discuss the optimal sample size allocation in a multi-group life-testing experiment for complete sample and Type-II censored sample. The extreme value regression model is commonly used for statistical analysis of data arising from such a multi-stress experiment, for example, the books by Nelson (1982) and Meeker and Escobar (1998). By considering this situation, we will derive the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs), expected Fisher information and the asymptotic variance-covariance matrix of the MLEs. Three optimality criteria will be introduced and the optimal allocation of units for two- and k-stress level situations will then be determined. Then I will demonstrate the efficiency of this optimal allocation rule by using the real experimental situation considered earlier by Nelson and Meeker (1978). Finally, I will present some Monte Carlo simulations to show that the optimality results hold for small sample sizes as well.

Title: Forecast combination in discrete choice models: predicting FOMC monetary policy decisions
This paper extends the discrete choice model by Hu and Phillips (2004) that allows for nonstationary dependent and explanatory variables. It provides a new methodology to combine in- and out-of-sample forecasts based on a mixture of discrete models. This is achieved primarily by combining probabilities associated with each model. The methodology is not limited to point forecast and can be used to predict the whole density of the multiple choice model. Scoring functions, such as log-score and quadratic score, are used to evaluate the forecasting performance of the diverse models. We apply this methodology to forecast the outcomes of Federal Reserve board meetings decisions in changing the federal funds target rate. The original and extended Hu and Phillips (2004) data set and model are employed as a starting point to conduct the empirical studies. This paper also investigate the utilisation of real-time data, which contains the actual information available at the time when Federal Reserve board makes decisions rather than revised and updated data series. Furthermore, models are constructed with a mixture of data frequencies.
This paper is work-in-progress and only preliminary results and preliminary ideas will be presented. This is a joint work of Laurent Pauwels and Andrey Vasnev.

Title: Instrumental Variable Estimation of Dynamic Linear Panel Data Models with Defactored Regressors under Cross-sectional Dependence
This paper develops an instrumental variable (IV) estimator for consistent estimation of dynamic panel data models with error cross-sectional dependence when both N and T, the cross-section and time series dimensions respectively, are large. Our approach asymptotically projects out the common factors from regressors using principal components analysis and then uses the defactored regressors as instruments to estimate the model in a standard way. Therefore, the proposed estimator is computationally very attractive. Furthermore, our procedure requires estimating solely the common factors included in the regressors, leaving those that in.uence only the dependent variable into the errors. Hence aside from computational simplicity the resulting approach allows parsimonious estimation of the model. The
.nite-sample performance of the IV estimator and the associated t-test is investigated using simulated data. The results show that the bias of the estimator is very small and the size of the t-test is correct even when (T;N) is as small as (10; 50). The performance of an overidentifying restrictions test is also explored.

Title: IV Estimation of Factor ResidualsThis paper considers panel data regression models with residuals generated by a multi-factor error structure and regressors that are not necessarily strongly exogenous. In such cases, the standard dynamic panel estimators fail to provide consistent estimates of the parameters. We propose a new estimation procedure, based on instrumental variables, which retains the traditional attractive features of method of moments estimators. The novelty of our approach is that we introduce new parameters to represent the unobserved covariances between the instruments and the factor component of the residual; these parameters are typically estimable when N is large. Some important estimation and identification issues are studied in detail. Our estimator permits unit roots and is robust to cases where the variance of the factor loadings is large. In the fixed-effects case, we show that modified versions of our estimator are asymptotically equivalent to the popular Arellano-Bond, Ahn-Schmidt and system GMM estimators. Therefore, our approach provides a unifying treatment of existing panel estimators. The finite-sample performance of our estimator is investigated using simulated data. The results show that proposed method produces reliable estimates of the parameters over various parametrizations.

Title: Can the Life Insurance Market Provide Evidence for a Bequest Motive?Using U.K. microeconomic data, we analyze the empirical determinants of participation in the life insurance market. We find that term insurance demand is positively correlated with measures of bequest motives like being married, having children and/or subjective measures of strong bequest motives. We then show that a life-cycle model of life insurance demand, saving and portfolio choice can rationalize quantitatively the data in the presence of a bequest motive. These findings provide evidence supporting the presence of a bequest motive.

Title: Extensions of the Lee-Carter model for mortality projections
The literature on mortality projections was dominated in the 1990's by the Lee-Carter model which assumes that the central death rate for a specific age follows a log-bilinear form, allowing for variations in the level of mortality over time. This model, with its inherent homoscedastic structure, was later extended by a Poisson model governed by a similar log-bilinear force of mortality. The paper will discuss potential extensions to the Lee-Carter model along the following lines:

Title: Joint Dynamic Pricing of Multiple Perishable Products Under Consumer ChoiceIn response to competitive pressures, firms are increasingly adopting revenue management opportunities afforded by advances in information and communication technologies. Motivated by applications in industry, we consider a dynamic pricing problem facing a firm that sells given initial inventories of multiple substitutable and perishable products over a finite selling horizon. In these applications, since individual product demands are linked through consumer choices, the seller must formulate a joint dynamic pricing strategy while explicitly incorporating consumer behaviour. For a general model of consumer choice, we model this multi-product dynamic pricing problem as a stochastic dynamic program and characterize its optimal prices. In addition, since consumer behaviour depends on the nature of product differentiation, we specialise the general choice model to capture vertical and horizontal differentiation. When products are vertically differentiated, our results show monotonic properties of the optimal prices and reveal that the optimal prices can be determined by considering aggregate inventories of products rather than their individual inventory levels. Accordingly, we develop a polynomial-time exact algorithm for determining the optimal prices. When products are horizontally differentiated, we find that analogous structural properties do not hold and the behaviour of optimal prices is substantially different. To solve this problem, we develop a variant of the backward induction algorithm that uses cubic spline interpolation to construct the value functions at each stage. We demonstrate that this interpolation-based algorithm has low memory requirements and is very effective in generating near-optimal solutions that result in an average error of less than 0.15%.

Title: Probabilistic Forecasts of Volatility and its Risk Premia.The object of this paper is to produce distributional forecasts of physical volatility and its associated risk premia using a non-Gaussian state space approach. Option and spot market information on the unobserved variance process is captured via non-parametric, `model-free' measures of option-implied and spot price-based variance, with the two measures used to define a bivariate observation equation in the state space model. The premium for diffusive variance risk is linear in the latent variance (in the usual fashion) whilst the premium for jump variance risk is specified as a conditionally deterministic dynamic process, driven by a past function of the measurements. Linking the risk premia to the risk aversion parameter in a particular form of representative agent model, we also produce probabilistic forecasts of the relative risk aversion of a representative investor. The inferential approach adopted is Bayesian, implemented via a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm that caters for the non-linearities in the model and for the multi-move sampling of the latent variances. The simulation output is used to estimate predictive distributions for all latent and observed variables of interest. The method is applied to empirical spot and option price data for the S&P500 index over the 2000 to 2007 period, with conclusions drawn about investors' required compensation for variance risk during the recent financial turmoil. Bayesian methods are used to demonstrate the accuracy of the probabilistic forecasts of the observable variance measures, compared with those yielded by more standard time series models.

Title: Seasonality, quality and short strategies of prices. The case of the Alicante-London Market
This paper focuses on airline prices in the Alicante-London market. It introduces a model of prices and analyses price evolution over short periods to observe the incidence of seasonality, the types of firms involved, timetabling, types of airport, competitiveness, and variables such as the price of jet fuel and the rate of exchange used by airlines to establish prices.
The paper analyses these variables in three seasons to compare the strategies of the companies. The results show the relative incidence of all variables analysed, and stress the relevance of seasonality and competitiveness in the price strategies followed by the different types of company

Title: Disproportional ownership structure and pay-performance relationship: evidence from China¿s listed firmsThis paper examines the impact that ownership structure has on the pay-performance relationship in China's listed firms. We find that the cash flow rights of the ultimate controlling shareholder have a positive effect on this relationship while a divergence between the control rights and cash flow rights has a significantly negative effect. By dividing our sample into state owned enterprises (SOE), state assets management bureaus (SAMB), and privately controlled firms, we find that cash flow rights in SOE controlled firms have a significant impact on accounting based pay performance and cash flow rights in privately controlled firms also affect the market performance based relationship, however, CEO pay in SAMB controlled firms bear no relationship with either accounting or market based performance. We therefore argue that CEO pay is inefficient in firms where the state is the controlling shareholder because it is insensitive to market based performance but consistent with the efforts of controlling shareholders to maximize their profits.

Title: MODELS AND DECISIONS: A ROBUST APPROACH TO FINDING BOTH
Separating the identification problem from the problem of finding solutions to a decision problem described by an uncertain model has the generic drawback that the error norm used for fitting the model is not related to the expected loss from ex-post model mismatch. Furthermore, sample data from the model can be often complemented by insights about admissible model behavior. In this talk, I will present a general approach that merges the identification and robust optimization problems, subject to structural constraints. Approximation errors and optimal decisions are determined simultaneously, together with an ex-ante distribution of the corresponding payoffs. I will also discuss the related problem of data acquisition and provide perspectives on how the approach can be generalized to games. The robust approximation method is illustrated for the problem of optimal debt settlement in the credit-card industry.

Title: A Stochastic Production Frontier ModelIn this paper we explore the idea that the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) may have a contribution in reducing productive inefficiencies. ICT is treated as a special type of technology and knowledge capital, the impact of which on production should be evaluated through the channel of technical efficiency. To implement this, we adopt the stochastic production frontier methodology for panel data. We follow the one-step procedure, as suggested in the recent literature, in which the technology parameters are estimated simultaneously with the parameters of the inefficiency equations, avoiding serious econometric problems involved with the two-step procedure initially employed (Schmidt and Sickles, 1984; Battese and Coelli, 1995; Coelli et al., 1999; Wang and Schmidt, 2002).

Title: Estimation of copula models with discrete margins
Estimation of copula models with discrete margins is known to be difficult beyond the bivariate case. We show how this can be achieved by augmenting the likelihood with uniform latent variables, and computing inference using the resulting augmented posterior. To evaluate this we propose two efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling schemes. One generates the latent variables as a block using a Metropolis-Hasting step with a proposal that is close to its target distribution. Our method applies to all parametric copulas where the conditional copula functions can be evaluated, not just elliptical copulas as in previous Bayesian work. Moreover, the copula parameters can be estimated joint with any marginal parameters. We establish the effectiveness of the estimation method by modeling consumer behavior in online retail using Archimedean and Gaussian copulas and by estimating 16 dimensional D-vine copulas for a longitudinal model of usage of a bicycle path in the city of Melbourne, Australia. Finally, we extend our results and method to the case where some margins are discrete and others continuous.

Objective measures of well-being and the cooperative production problem
The concern for measuring well-being objectively (as opposed to subjectively, that is, relying only on preferences) is found in modern political philosophy, especially in J. Rawls's, A. Sen's and G. Cohen's writings. This paper explains the implications of using an objective well-being index as equalisandum or, close to the so-called "safety net preoccupation", to guarantee a well-being lower bound. In the simple production model studied here, five characterization results and two related theorems prove the convergence of both approaches. We come to the conclusion that the Proportional Solution is the dominant solution according to "objectivist" axioms.

And Cumberbatch's Character Is? [spoilers]

Re: And Cumberbatch?s Character Is?
I will say it's possible it's a pseudonym, but I also think they've been playing on the fact that everyone assumes it's going to be a retread villain. They put obvious imagery in the teaser indicating BOTH Khan and Mitchell, the two most popular theories. I am actually MORE excited that it's a new character because now they're actually EXPANDING the Star Trek universe rather than continuing to play in the already established stuff. Why would you reboot a universe to tell a slightly different version of the same story?
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Carnestation: "Carnestation" Top 5 Page for this destination Carnestation Tip by kdoc13
Carnestation, Seoul: 1 reviews and 1 photos
Samgyup-sal is a very popular dish here in korea. You will see the locals cooking it up almost anywhere. Last night, durring a pouring rain, I saw some college students grilling it up underneath an overpass here at Kookmin university.
It is basically pork strips which are grilled, dipped in a sesame oil sauce and wrapped in lettuce. Some people add rice, or kimchi, or other stuff to it. It is really up to the person consuming it. But as is the korean tradition, you cook it yourself at the table.
Anyway. The restaurant basicaly has a large selection of meat which you scoop up and take back to your table to grill. For 22,000 won it is all you can eat and drink (which includes alcoholic beverages) for a three hour period. I have never eaten so much food in my life! Plus, since you are making it yourself, it is cooked to order, how cool is that!
Favorite Dish: While Samgyup-sal is the big food there, there is another type called Mok-sal which is better. It is a thicker cut of pork, and typically does not have the bones still in it. It is also more flavorful. Mix that with a little Shigum-chi (A sort of spinach salad) and it is quite tasty!
For those who don't eat pork, look for Kalbi, it is marinated beef, also a bit thicker and without bones. But is quite tasty too.
Address: Near the Korean World Trade Center
Price Comparison: about average
Directions: Take the green line to Samseoung (219) station, exit at exit 4 and keep walking. It is about 2 blocks down on the left and in a basement.

ROCKFORD — Some city department heads will be looking to add staff next year if the 2013 budget allows.
ROCKFORD — Some city department heads will be looking to add staff next year if the 2013 budget allows.
Staff is where most departments from police and public works to community development and legal have cut back in recent years to meet back-to-back million-dollar budget deficits.
Unlike previous years, the city's Finance Department has not yet put a number on the city's estimated budget deficit. That doesn't mean there won't be one, officials said, but it could be a sign that the city's financial situation is improving.
The city's 2012 general fund revenues and expenses are budgeted to come in at $113.6 million.
Back in May, Finance Director Chris Black informed aldermen that the city's year-to-date general fund revenues were $1.82 million over projections. General fund expenses were under budget by $1.38 million, Black reported, adding that expenses historically are low in the year's first half because of a lag in payments for services and a lack of overtime expenses that accumulate in the summer months.
The city's Finance Department released a 2013 budget schedule last month. It calls for the budget's adoption by Dec. 10.
So far, departments have submitted "status quo" budgets. That means they've turned in expense plans for 2013 that total the same amount spent in 2012.
It's a starting point. Budgets will be adjusted in the months to come, based on the city's financial projections. The city is in the process of negotiating labor contracts with its police, fire and municipal employee unions.
"If we travel through the entire budgetary process with no budget cuts, that would be awesome, but that's not how the last years have been," said Reid Montgomery, the city's community and economic development director. "Receipts are better this year. That's helped take a little pressure off, but it's still too soon to say."
Like most department heads who have watched their ranks shrink in recent years, Montgomery would like to hire additional help, particularly in the areas of code enforcement, building and construction development.
Public Works Director Tim Hanson echoed that sentiment saying he thinks he needs at least four more employees in the street department.
"Right now, we don't have enough employees to cover our snow routes, so we really need to look at adding some staffing," Hanson said. "And the Concourse deck needs repairs. It's a 30-year-old structure that's deteriorating. ... I think those will be the big ones going forward."

Major changes included:
Community Development decreases of $513,000 through reductions in salaries, benefits costs, tax increment financing district costs and decreases in cleanup and demolition work.

Can do anything

I am 5'6" and ~ 155 lbs. Would a Medium or Large be the right size for me. I would like to have some room for a baselayer. Thanks!
If you're just interested in a baselayer beneath that, I think a small would work fine. If you're layering something down or Primaloft under it, a medium, maybe. I'm 5'1l" 155 and I think the smalls work for me, even with a thicker layer like down or Primaloft, but I like the compact alpine fit. If you prefer looser cuts, medium will work. I think you'd be swimming in a large.
Collar of a Lifetime
I've used the Kramer Jacket on campus, throughout this grueling winter in NE Ohio. I have always been very please with the quality of a Mountain Hardware build. The jacket has an awesome fit and a EPIC collar. I am 5'5" with a slim athletic build and am very pleased with a medium fit. There is plenty of room to layer (MH Octans Fleece) without compromising the slender design. Along with three outer and one inner zip pockets, there is an internal mesh space for quick access to gloves or a beanie. The shoulder area is lined with a very plush "synthetic fur" for extra warmth. The Kramer Jacket supplies a good amount of warmth and performs very well in windy conditions. The water proofing could have performed a bit better, but I am very happy with this purchase. I would like to reiterate how ridiculous the collar on this jacket is. The Kramer collar alone is enough to keep you warm all season.
Hey Alan, I'm also from NE Ohio and will be strapping this Krame-dawg to exterior for the morning bike commute. I just ordered it, so I'll update my post with a "real" review once it arrives.
jackets bomb for biking. used to rock it layered up and still had room to move on the [fixie] commute.
Very bummed to say that this jacket was short on me--uncomfortably short. I'm 6'3 and I bought an XL and an L to try and they both received jeers from my girlfriend who thought I looked odd. If you're a string bean like me, this coat has a nice athletic fit, but is not very long.
Great jacket?fit is a challenge
Finally found this jacket after purchasing 3 other Mountain Hardware shells. I was looking for a technical looking shell that would keep the elements out and keep me warm as long as I used layers. I also wanted a jacket that I could use snowboarding and wanted the functionality of the POW skirt and hood. Well, this jacket seems to be what I was looking for! The craftsmanship is top notch and the design is cool. The only frustrating thing is the sizing! Mountain Hardware has different sizing for different jackets. One jacket fit me in an XL and another jacket XL was huge! Im a fit 62 guy 210lbs and the large is a little tight so I tried the XL and its a perfect fit!! The only true flaw that I found is that the jacket is a little short in the waste. MH could have designed this jacket to be about and inch longer.
Oksending back for a XL. Hopefully last time returning .
Solid Jacket
The Fit: I'm around 5'9" 151 lbs with a 40" chest. The medium jacket fits perfect with my dimensions without layering and I would consider it an Athletic fit similar to Norrona's only a bit more generous. With a base layer + fleece, it became too small for my liking.
Everything Else : I owned this jacket for a little less than a year and it did it's job. The micro climate zoning is very nice and helps with warmth when you are only wearing a baselayer + the jkt. The pit zips work like they should dumping heat when necessary. The waterproofness is very good, but it's not gore-tex so it will eventually soak through. But with this being a winter sports jacket.....how much does being completely waterproof really matter? The collar on this jacket is high and was a feature I really really liked about this jkt. The hood is a bit on the large size so accommodating a helmet shouldn't be a problem. The Conduit Softshell material seems pretty burly, but I never really tested that out. It has ok breathability but the pit zips help with that. The softshell material doesn't stretch very much either.
In the end it was returned due to size issues and to get Polartec's new Powershield Pro softshell material.
Can anyone tell me how this jacket compares...
Can anyone tell me how this jacket compares to the MHW Ascent MCZ? Other than the hybrid softshell component, it seems very similar. Is it a bit heavier and warmer?
dlombard. The Ascent MCZ uses a Conduit Hardshell material throughout the Jacket with fleece welded strategically to the inside of the jacket (Micro Climate Zoning or MCZ) in where the body loses heat during activity. The Kramer utilizes the same MCZ fleece laminated around the jacket but now combines Hardshell and Softshell fabric combined in the shell... as you correctly identified. Due to the fleece backing of the softshell material in the Kramer it could be a little warmer overall. I hope this info helps!
Great Shell
I'm 5'10", 200 lbs, bought the Large. Size is perfect. FItted but not too tight with a fleece and capilene underneath. I've taken it on 2 winter climbs. Once above 12K ft and the other over 13K ft. Windchill was close to zero on both occasions. Snow on the first climb, strong wind gusts on the second. Blocked the wind beautifully. Used the pit zips to let the heat out. Excellent pockets, zippers, and craftsmanship. My only complaint is that I would say it's a bit short. I wear it with ski pants with no suspenders. Need to get some suspenders to wear them together.
Hi, I m 5`8" and 176lbs, which size do you...
Hi, I m 5`8" and 176lbs, which size do you recomend me? I have a good bargain for a M size, should I go for it?
Jorge. You will probably be the most comfortable in a large. I feel like medium would be a little tight in the chest. I hope this info helps!
This is a little late, it might help someone else.
I'm About 5'9" 151 lbs with a 40" chest and I fit into a medium nicely with NO layers. WITH layers (base + fleece), this jacket cramps up a little fast. You should def. go large.
snug fit, short waist, nice materials
I used the fitting table for the product. I am 5'9", 165lbs with 33" arms and 41" chest. The table recommended medium. The coat fit snug like a dress shirt. The arms were too long. The back of the coat barely made my waist. If I was bending over or sitting on a ski lift, my lower back would be exposed. You would need to wear bibs not to have this problem.
The appearance, materials and craftsmanship of the coat are good, but I do not like its fit/design. I returned it and will get something else from a different manufacturer.

I am 6-3 180 pounds. Would the XL be the right fit or would it be too bulky with a 32 inch waist?
I am 6 2, 205lbs (Fit) and 33 waist. The XL is a good fit. I tried the L but it was too tight. XXL would be way too big.
Great Shell
Awesome jacket. Makes me wish I was in the mountains when I put it on. Plan to use it for snow activities and fishing in the mountains. No cons to say since I paid less than 200.
so far so good
I got the jacket toward the end of the season when I'll wear it but I've been pleased with it so far. The fit is good and it feels comfortable. I wore in for a hike in the rain and it kept me perfectly dry.
awesome jacket. Very very comfortable, xxl fit me well, with room for extra layers if necessary (i am 6'4", 230 lbs). The only knock would be extra pockets, maybe a dedicated goggle pocket below the snow skirt (despite the description, the kramer comes with 5, not 7 pockets). Jacket vented very well, definitely a step up from my various north face jackets...
i just received my Kramer and noticed a...
i just received my Kramer and noticed a disconnect with the posted specs. Backcountry, and other sites, list a total of 7 pockets. My jacket has 5. I do not appear to have the mp-3 pocket or the sleeve pocket.
Does anyone else have this issue?
Did they change the style mid year?
One other thing. Right above the powder skirt, above both hips, is a snap that hangs down from about a 2inch lead. Does anyone know what that is for? (to connected to integrated ski pants?).
Thanks for your help
Chris S. The jacket has 1 chest pocket, 2 hand pockets, 1 internal mesh (water bottle) pocket, and 1 internal zip closure pocket = total of 5 pockets. Not sure why the specs say 7. The jacket has never had a sleeve pocket. Sorry for the confusion...
I bought a Kramer in January 09 and it does in fact have 7 pockets, including the mp3 and sleeve pockets. I'm guessing they changed the style since then but never updated the description.
A Maz Zing!
I love this jacket. I'm a bit of a tall slender guy at 6'1" 185 lbs and have always had a bit of a hard time finding jackets that aren't a tent around my mid-section. Mountain Hardwear's slim athletic fit fits me perfectly, like nothing ever has before even Arc'teryx. Add to that the Kramer's combination of hard shell where you need it and soft shell where you want it, throw in taped seams and waterproof zippers throughout and you have a shell that can't be beat!
I don't know if this will make it to you Matt, but would you mind telling me what size jacket your purchased? I'm roughly the same build as you and have an equally difficult time finding one that fits right. Anyway, it would really be appreciated! Thanks.
I really wish this jacket fit me
This jacket looks great and has all the technical items that I was looking for. I just wish it fit. The jacket is cut a little short and tight through the chest. I am 6' 200 lbs and the Large was too tight, and the XL the arms were too long.
Great Ski Jacket
This is a bulletproof soft/hard shell jacket. If your on the mountain this unit will keep you secluded from the elements. I have been on the chairlift at -23C with a wind and been very impressed with the protection this jacket delivers. I wear an old school MEC fleece with a base layer and stay well insulated.
I note that this is a great SKI jacket. I have used it on a few snowshoe expeditions and it does offer the same protection, though I find that it does not breath as well and as a result did heat up went exerting. (That really is all I have to say in a negative manner) The two way pit zips take care of the issue quite handily.
The detachable hood leaves plenty of room for a helmet and offers as much if not better peripheral view of any I have tried. The powder bib is well thought out and works well, though I recommend still using a bib pant if you plan to be in the deep stuff.
All of the seams and zips are well taped - you can tell this is manufactured from experience and research.
One small critique: I really do question the 'pass holder' gadget. Anyone willing to gamble by attaching their seasons pass to this has much faith in light plastic. I also question the functionality of it... you would still have to unzip to present your pass.
That aside, I say well worth the investment.

I am finding two different pictures of the pesto version of the kramer jacket. Backcountry has a mostly gray with green sides and the mountain hardwear site as the opposite. Which one is it?

The Mountain Hardwear website's picture of the Kramer jackets shows the Black/Grill color as being mostly black with gray accent panels. But the Backcountry website shows it as being the opposite...mostly gray with black accents panels. Which picture is correct?

Write your question here...what is the best way to measure yourself to get the right fit for the kramer jacket with out orrying it being to small/tight like to make sure I can wear other things for layering. I am 5 10 180 lbs snowboarder
Marcel. Not sure on the best way to measure yourself... but, we have a sweet sizing chart on our website that you can access from the product pages. If you want to skip that measuring part at 5'10" and 180 you would more than likely be a large in the Kramer Jacket. Hope this helps!

'Entering A Small Town' - Poem by Whitney Albright
New students constantly flock to my college
It is a good place to study and gain knowledge
Very often, I get asked, by the students I meet,
Where's the nearest place around here to eat?
I always find myself snickering
Every time a new friend and I start bickering
I say, 'Well there's one restaurant and it closes at two.'
I suppose these freshmen never have a clue
They say they feel so far from civilization
Maybe because my town has more churches than gas stations
It's a town with cow pastures and hay
And where horses and buggies still take the highway
Most of the businesses have been closed down
But, don't you ever think I'm ashamed of this little town
When I was a senior my class and I would always complain
We'd say we would get out of here even if it meant to Spain
But now these days when I look around
None of us have left this town
I guess we discovered something about ourselves we never had known
This town became more a part of us every year we had grown
There's just something about those Friday nights
When you watch the town glow from the stadium lights
Or how the whole town never misses a game of ball
God help the refs who make a bad call
It is a two-lane road without any traffic lights or turn lanes
And there aren't any movie theatres to entertain
But there are crickets that sing a little bit louder in my town
And the grass is a little bit greener that covers our ground
The railroad tracks are straight for miles
And you never meet a person who doesn't have a smile
I live in a town that the good Lord's blessed
And in this sweet land I'll be laid to rest
You don't see buildings when you look at the sky
And you hear fireworks all night on the Fourth of July
We love Wadley, because we escape from reality
We all live in the midst of sweet southern hospitality
And those who leave here do sometimes pack
But I guarantee you they will always come back
So when these college students arrive here in the fall
I will tell them how Wadley's not a bad place after all
And when you look for a quiet place to roam
Follow the paw prints on the road, they'll lead you home.

Inexpensive and Mamiya 7 or 7II are directly opposite.
I see a Mamiya 645e suggested. It's a decent "modern" camera but it actually has fewer features than the Mamiya 1000s, so I don't think I would suggest it. The big difference is that the 645e will be a lot lighter than a 1000s with the prism ansd motor drive installed.

December 1, 2015
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn didn't get her few minutes of national exposure at the Republican National Convention because of Hurricane Gustav.
The Commercial Appeal reported that Blackburn had been scheduled to speak in television prime time on Tuesday, but the party limited convention hours because of the storm then headed for Louisiana.
She made the rounds of the radio talk shows, instead, and said it was an honor to have been asked to speak at the convention.
Blackburn's 7th Congressional District stretches from just outside Memphis nearly to Nashville.

But I got thinking - I hope my (and other peoples) decision does not affect any possible future remaster of DS9. Why the big rush to get it all out anyway? They rushed season two TNG and look how that turned out. Surely we'd be happy with two releases a year, done well?
Think of the parable of the goose that laid the golden eggs.
having a movie come out every few years while releasing some DVDs is nothing like the situation in the '90s with Trek.

NUTRITIONWith the wide variety of food at Thanksgiving dinner, chances are you'll want to give your dog something special, too. If you're contemplating what to feed your dog for the holiday, here is a guide to a great Canine Thanksgiving Feast.
DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.

Coffee chicken, butter-oat soft-shell crab, and beef green curry are among the Thai-Indo fusion dishes at this homey shophouse. Salads, particularly the Thai-style pomelo, are great sides and portions are generally small, so this is an easy place to taste a number of different dishes. There's also a buffet with more than 20 meat and vegetable selections.

In compelling, suspenseful fashion, "Taking Sides" illuminates brilliantly the dilemma of a great, world-renowned artist flourishing in a totalitarian regime. The artist in question was Wilhelm Furtwängler, the greatest conductor in Germany of his time — perhaps in the world — and tragically for him the height of his career coincided with the rise of the Third Reich.
This remarkable, challenging film is the result of an inspired collaboration between "The Pianist's" Oscar-winning screenwriter Ronald Harwood and Hungarian director István Szabó, renowned for his trilogy of historical films, the Oscar-winning "Mephisto" (1980), "Colonel Redl" (1986) and "Hanussen" (1987), all dealing with complicated, gifted men caught in similar moral predicaments to Furtwängler.
It is a splendidly cinematic adaptation of Harwood's play, a carefully researched dramatization of the fate that awaited Furtwängler at the end of World War II. "Taking Sides" offers Harvey Keitel and Stellan Skarsgard highly demanding, richly rewarding roles, and their performances are among their finest.
Keitel's Maj. Steve Arnold has been assigned by the American de-Nazification Committee to carry out a pretrial investigation of Furtwängler (Skarsgard) with the specific intent of holding up the conductor as a symbol of a defeated Nazi Germany. Having seen the horrors of the concentration camps firsthand — and having never even heard of Furtwängler — Arnold ruthlessly sets out to get Furtwängler as one of the "big guys."
Providing a contrasting perspective on the conductor are an American army lieutenant (Moritz Bleibtreu), who is a German-born Jew serving as a liaison officer with the Allied Cultural Affairs Committee, and Arnold's secretary (Birgit Minichmayr), whose father was executed as a plotter in the failed assassination of Hitler in July 1944. They are capable of a respect for and an appreciation of Furtwängler as a man and an artist that is beyond Arnold's comprehension.
The tall, aristocratic conductor and his situation were infinitely more complex than his interrogator's simplistic view of him. Furtwängler was no Nazi sympathizer (he even refused to salute Adolf Hitler and has been credited with saving the lives of at least 80 Jews). But even to a greater degree than the film suggests, he became a victim of the Nazi propaganda machine, which included forcing upon him various titles and degrees on the one hand and keeping files on the other, suggesting an anti-Semitism on his part that now could be used against him. An insurance claims investigator in real life, Arnold, unsophisticated but shrewd, is well-equipped to torment Furtwängler.
His questions are, in Furtwängler's accurate words, "impertinent and stupid," and Keitel's Arnold is charged with an ignorant arrogance, an implicit assertion of American supremacy, that rings with a chillingly contemporary note. Yet, as increasingly hateful as Arnold becomes, he does begin to force Furtwängler to question the validity of his belief that art and politics can be kept separate in a totalitarian regime.
This in turn forces the conductor to confront how he inescapably became a puppet of the Nazis for all his commitment to keeping the spirit of German high culture alive and a comfort to the people in his country's darkest hours. (Although awkward in his self-defense, Furtwängler is not without telling retorts, at one point asking Arnold if he can conceive only of a material universe.)
There were more aspects to Furtwängler's character and situation than the crackling drama that "Taking Sides" can reasonably be expected to tackle in 105 minutes, but it does suggest how increasingly impossible his life and career became. Furtwängler ultimately fled to Switzerland in February 1945, acting on a tip from Hitler's architect, Albert Speer, that he was slated for execution on the pretext that he had participated in that Hitler assassination attempt.
A somberly handsome production, "Taking Sides" takes place principally in a vast salon in a magnificent but barren and slightly war-damaged old government building. The scale of the room is such that it allows Szabó to suggest that the issues the combative major and conductor debate dwarf them in their implications. There is a superb ruined postwar grandeur to the celebrated Ken Adam's production design that reflects the patrician but humbled Furtwängler's condition perfectly.
The entire thrust of the film suggests that, certainly for his own good, as well as that of his country, Furtwängler should have left Germany with Hitler's rise to power.
But "Taking Sides" is too sophisticated not to imply an irony in this view. Would Furtwängler have been able to pour so much passion and anguish into such works as Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, qualities that have preserved his artistic reputation, had he conducted them from the safety of exile? "Taking Sides" not only resists taking sides but also invites the viewer to see Furtwängler in the whole.
