Potential Scam:
Potential Scam using Monika's House. We have recently heard from several donors that there is a salesman going door to door selling $50 books and reporting they will be delivered to Monika's House. Monika's House HAS NOT arranged any such donation and is not connected to this individual. The man reports he is with Entrepreneur Sales Company. Please share with anyone you know we believe this has been in our county (Washington County)
Beginning January 1, 2015, DVRC will offer culturally-specific domestic violence services to immigrant communities specifically from Asia, South Asia or Southeast Asia. To be eligible for services, the individual must be currently experiencing or have recently experienced domestic violence in their Intimate Partner relationship.
SAWERA, which started as a small community-based non-profit for South Asian Women and now a program under DVRC, will provide advocacy services taking into account immigrant community's domestic violence situations under special circumstances such as immigration and visa issues, and cultural and language barriers.
We encourage the South Asian/Asian/Southeast Asian Communities in Washington County to actively engage with DVRC by volunteering, donating, and supporting this program.
Stay tuned for more information. If you have any specific questions about volunteering or donating, contact Geetanjali Paul at 503-640-5352 OR email her at email@example.com

Fukuyama backs Obama for US presidency
He is one of America's most famous neo-conservatives and his ideas on the spread of democracy have informed the Bush administration's foreign policy.
But Francis Fukuyama, the author of The End of History and Professor of International Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University, is now a sharp critic of US President George W Bush and has even come out as a supporter of Democrat frontrunner Barack Obama for president.
Professor Fukuyama is particularly scathing about the Bush policy in Iraq but he says that regardless of who is elected to lead it next, the United States is about to undergo a significant transformation.
In Sydney as a guest of Sydney University United States Studies Centre, Professor Fukuyama spoke with The World Today's Eleanor Hall.
Should read 'Man wakes up after lifetime of building planet-destroying philosophy and tries to make amends."
Think his flock will follow? Or is it still 'over the cliff we go until the bitter end, wearing sixteen flag pins'?
From Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, Section 200:
The man of an age of dissolution which mixes the races with one another, who has the inheritance of a diversified descent in his body–that is to say, contrary, and often not only contrary, instincts and standards of value, which struggle with one another and are seldom at peace–such a man of late culture and broken lights, will, on an average, be a weak man. His fundamental desire is that the war which is IN HIM should come to an end; happiness appears to him in the character of a soothing medicine and mode of thought (for instance, Epicurean or Christian); it is above all things the happiness of repose, of undisturbedness, of repletion, of final unity–it is the "Sabbath of Sabbaths," to use the expression of the holy rhetorician, St. Augustine, who was himself such a man.–Should, however, the contrariety and conflict in such natures operate as an ADDITIONAL incentive and stimulus to life–and if, on the other hand, in addition to their powerful and irreconcilable instincts, they have also inherited and indoctrinated into them a proper mastery and subtlety for carrying on the conflict with themselves (that is to say, the faculty of self-control and self-deception), there then arise those marvelously incomprehensible and inexplicable beings, those enigmatical men, predestined for conquering and circumventing others, the finest examples of which are Alcibiades and Caesar (with whom I should like to associate the FIRST of Europeans according to my taste, the Hohenstaufen, Frederick the Second), and among artists, perhaps Leonardo da Vinci. They appear precisely in the same periods when that weaker type, with its longing for repose, comes to the front; the two types are complementary to each other, and spring from the same causes.
The Scots and the French and the Germans and the Italians and the English and those truly nasty Canadians are goin' at it hot and heavy. Almost a World War B. Let there be no peace in my time.
Pity my son. The Russkies wade in…
Another light-hearted post about a few trivial items…
In pondering my recent reading of Nietzsche I found that something seemed to be missing. That something was Love.
He makes a strong case for the absence of objective morality, the sort of thing religions specialize in. He goes further to say that the whole idea of seeking "Truth" is also dubious as it's just a depersonalized version of God. The truth is that there probably is no Truth and the very tendency we have to seek it is evidence that we are fooling ourselves into thinking that what exists here and now is not Truth and we need to be saved from whatever it is that's keeping us from finding Truth. This implies that we're unwilling to accept what we see around us as the marvel that it is and insist on something more marvelous. The eastern religions seem to point to this in all the 'find eternity in the moment' kind of thinking; that if we could just understand how amazing simple existence is, we'd be immediately enlightened and walk around with a constant beatific smile.
The believers in objective morality find the idea of its absence to be a horrifying idea. They insist that this is the path of nihilism with its heinous implication that "all is permitted." The moralist believes that anyone who subscribes to this view has a bleak view of life- "anomie"- and is likely to engage in criminal behavior. The part they- and Nietzsche are leaving out is the wild card of Love. There's nothing about the disbelief in objective morality that says one cannot love. In fact, the Eastern mystic path seems to lead to a sense of universal love and compassion. I know this intimately because I've encountered this sense in my past through various approaches; usually involving harmony with nature, usually enhanced by psychoactive chemicals, and the impressions are so powerful they are truly unforgettable. They will be with me always.
My thinking is that love ties it all together because it provides a source of meaning that is more genuine than any subscription to a belief in a mystical being. Simple, honest love is the only genuine truth. It's rational and emotionally fulfilling- requiring no self-deception. When one is acting out of love, doing right is the course of least resistance; hence no need for a moral code drawn from dogma.
Here's a bit of a leap, but I feel it makes perfect sense now from the above strands; the concept of God springs from Love. It's what the mystics say first when they come down from the mountain, then they or their later re-interpretors always clutter up the message by personifying it and adding various rules and rituals, associated personifications, etc. But the real, genuine, core idea is simply love. I know this isn't exactly new, but I feel that I've read this basic idea many times without understanding it. The past several months of introspection have helped it to crystallize in me in a new way. It feels "true."
Interestingly, the message in that last paragraph flashed on me about 3/4 of the way through "The Darjeeling Limited," Wes Anderson's latest flick which I highly recommend. It's a gorgeous movie; slightly strange, but that's Wes.
after so much strife
and these were the only ones caught…
In 2003, U.N. Nepalese troops were accused of sexual abuse while serving in Democratic Republic of Congo. Six soldiers were later jailed.
A year later, two U.N. peacekeepers were repatriated after being accused of abuse in Burundi, while U.N. troops also were accused of rape and sexual abuse in Sudan.
Last year, the U.N. launched an investigation into sexual abuse claims in Ivory Coast.
The vast majority of aid workers were not involved in any form of abuse or exploitation, but in "life-saving essential humanitarian work," Whitbread said.
But humanitarian and peacekeeping agencies working in emergency situations "must own up to the fact that they are vulnerable to this problem and tackle it head on," she said.

This is wonderful.
Gotta love how Matic doesn't even look bothered.
opinionFor Greece, the World Cup dream is over, the fairytale prematurely ended by goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
A football punter lost a whopping £146,000 when he placed a bet on Costa Rica to beat Greece in 90 minutes in the World Cup last 16 tie on Sunday.

Patient L's Autonomy
Published October 23, 2012 | By Roger Crisp
'Patient L' is a man in a vegetative state, under the care of Pennine Acute Hospitals Trust. The Trust has placed a Do Not Rescuscitate order in his notes, yet his family claim that he himself would want to be revived if his condition deteriorated, because of his faith in Islam. The court of protection has now decided in favour of the Trust.
The Trust's claim is that it is in Patient L's best interests to be allowed to die, whereas Patient L himself – if we are to believe his family (and there seems little reason not to) – would almost certainly disagree. Continue reading →

X-factor has ended and I will say that the last 6 issues have been very mediocre in my opinion. They felt rushed and just seemed like short stories answering fan questions in an interview. And of course Marvel continues to try to hold back announcing PAD's next thing but there's speculation of an X-factor relaunch. What would you want it to be about and who would you want on the team?
Here's my thoughts:
I would want it to be sort of like an X-Factor X.S.E. The team would be a gov't sponsored team dealing with some mutant issues but they would work closely with S.H.E.I.L.D and S.W.O.R.D and the Avengers in protecting humanity. The team would be focused more on just being heroes. Basically following Xavier's dream of cohabitation. (by the way, even though I like the stories in Uncanny Avengers and all, I would like to keep Xmen and Avengers separate as far as melding them into one team, that's one of the reasons for my list)
Havoc, Beast, Bishop, Sunspot, Karma, Polaris, Dazzler, Sage,Skids and maybe Sabra
Havoc leads the team and tries to stay in line with his and somewhat Xavier's thoughts of just being one people- not being separated into humans and mutants.
Beast is your scientist and directly helps Abigail Brand also in a leadership role.
Bishop is the wildcard type soldier willing to do whatever to insure a better future.
Sunspot just wants to be a hero and not concerned with saving fighting all the time for mutant rights- also not content with being one of the 50 avengers so wants a more prominent role.
Karma uses her powers to help both mutants and humans alike can affect situations by possession. Also needs a role in marvel u.
Polaris mistress of magnetism seems to fit roles like this.
Dazzler recognizable and can be a liaison to both humans and mutants.
Sage is the strategist and computer-whiz, rarely in the field, works from the home-base
Skids force-field protection has perspective on the issues
(Maybe) Sabra as a field operative and strategist.

"Dollar store" serves as a catch-all term, but multiple, distinct formats have emerged. While they may stress low price and convenience, their products, price points and purpose differ. Those differences may warrant varying competitive responses. Willard Bishop Consulting, Barrington, Ill., has divided the dollar store into three formats: single price (99 Cents Only, Dollar Tree); overruns or closeouts (Big Lots); and extreme value (Dollar General, Family Dollar Stores).

Map Property Image Overlay Tracer 1.0 is a simple map based iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad application designed with property owners and outdoor enthusiasts in mind. The applications simple purpose is to allow its users to overlay and trace images directly on top of the built-in interactive map creating their own maps or making a pre-existing image "location aware".
Featuring standard, attractive and recognizable user controls, the app is very intuitive and easy to use. In a matter of seconds a user can transform a simple, crude map image that might be already in a user's email box or desktop, or even just a paper map sitting on their desk, and turn that image into a location aware map that can be taken into the field directly or traced onto google maps and saved as a new image. The possibilities are endless.
Example Uses:
*Find, walk and define the property boundaries of your home or business
*Explore the boundaries and old unmaintained trails of your favorite local or national park
*Confidently view satellite images of your house, business or favorite local or national park
*Create new paths, trails and corresponding maps on your own land
Feature Highlights:
*The ability to auto-align maps (pick two points on image, pick two points on map, hit button to auto align)
*Save aligned maps to be recalled later
*Simple, intuitive and recognizable User Interface
*Ability to import photos from the Photo Library or take an image with the built in camera
*Use GPS to see your location directly on the map
*Stretch, rotate and zoom user's image to line up directly on Google's interactive map
*Transparently fade user's image in and out
*Trace in straight or curved lines
*Selectable trace color and thickness
*Save your new traced image directly into the user's Photo Library
Developer Personal Statement:
"I developed this application because I had recently purchased a house on a relative large plot of land. I was given a black and white, to scale, boundary map, with no landmarks. I wanted way to go out onto my property and walk the boundary and 'discover' where exactly my property boundaries lay. I came up with an idea of being able to overlay an image on top of Google maps, line it up with known landmarks, in this case all I had to go with were some roads off my property but defined on the map, and then be able to use the integrated GPS of an iOS device to walk in the woods and fields and again 'discover' my property boundaries. Thus, Map Overlay Tracer way born."

All is perfect about this plugin for me except the currency options. I tested, I made all the changes and when I wanted to go live I discovered that I can't choose THB.
Please tell me if you can implement this, especially that after a short search I discovered that I'm not the only one that is asking for THB(Thai Baht) support.
Thank you!
P.S. This plugin is really amazing. Good work!

The filling material was placed in my drilled tooth and then pushed down with the dentist's finger. She did not use an instrument to make sure the material was properly fitted. This was a wake up call to me. I know this should not have been done.
This past year I have had two of the previous fillings replaced with onlays, and two fillings completely replaced due to inproper placement. The same happened with my husband and sister.
I know that Aspen hires "new" dentists fresh out of Dental School. They have an extremely high turn over rate. Patients do not see the same dentist regularly. Most offices see 3-4 new dentists per year.
This company does not care about the patient. Money is their main concern and the patient comes last. Each office manager and dentist receive a monthly bonus depending on how much production is done. This is why they push the patients to do more work than is neccessary.
I feel as though they should compensate me for the work I had done in the Wilkes Barre office since everything had to be replaced shortly after being done.

The neuroblastoma is a malignant neoplasm of sympathetic tissue origin and can arise in any site where such tissues exist. Its metastatic spread is threefold: direct regional extension along fascial planes; lymphatic extension to regional and distant lymph node echelons; and hematogenous dissemination to bone and soft tissue. Indeed, we have frequently observed all three modes of extension in an individual patient.
We have noted previously the ability of irradiation to control this disease.27 However, one must be mindful of the possibility of spontaneous regression of this neoplasm without specific therapy when one evaluates any mode of therapeutic regimen.28
Total surgical extirpation of the neuroblastoma is not always possible because of the tendency for early regional extension of this neoplasm. Local irradiation, therefore, plays a major role to eradicate disease.
Thus, in the cases of primary involvement of the adrenal medulla, one may find localized extension to involve

Acquired: Signed as a free agent by Detroit on December 2, 1983.
Drafted: MNS / 1973 NHL Amateur Draft
Round: 2nd (18th overall)
He was drafted by the Minnesota North Stars in 1973. But during his four seasons within the club's organization, he was never able to recapture the scoring touch that had blessed his junior career. During that time, he bounced regularly between the Stars and the New Haven Nighthawks of the AHL.
In 1977, Dunlop was traded to the Flyers' organization where he continued as a minor-leaguer, for the most part, until his second year in the chain. After starting the season with the Maine Mariners of the AHL, he finally got a boost back to the top with the Flyers where he found some of the old scoring touch that he'd once known so well.
At the close of the season, however, he was traded to the St. Louis Blues where he settled into the most stable and productive phase of his career. In 1981, he scored a personal-best 87 points in 80 games and capped the campaign with a Bill Masterton Trophy for perseverance, dedication and sportsmanship.
He remained with the Blues until his release early in the 1983-84 campaign. He then signed as a free agent with the Detroit Red Wings where he retired at the end of the season.

Skip to comments.Citigroup, Ally Sued for Racketeering Over Database [cool things they can do with computers]
Posted on 10/04/2010 3:05:22 PM PDT by the invisib1e hand
Citigroup Inc. and Ally Financial Inc. units were sued by homeowners in Kentucky for allegedly conspiring with Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems Inc. to falsely foreclose on loans.
The lawsuit, filed as a civil-racketeering class action on behalf all Kentucky homeowners facing foreclosure, also names as a defendant Reston, Virginia-based MERS, the company that handles mortgage transfers among member banks. The suit claims that through MERS the banks are foreclosing on homes even when they dont hold titles to the properties.
(Excerpt) Read more at billionaires.forbes.com ...
I hope sticks.
He who sells what isn't his'n
must buy it back or go to pris'n.
This is going to freeze a lot of homes out of the market while the matter is wrangled out, maybe clear up to the USSC. Result, possible uptick in home prices (for those lucky enough not to be caught in this web of bungled foreclosures)?
Would someone please dumb this whole MERS thing down to my level? Is it basically that the title was bought and sold so many times, no one knows who actually owns it?
Holy crap! If true, the execs need to spend some quality time with Bubba.
Or - will the bottom fall out because people will be afraid to buy ANY house for fear that the title, all titles, are rotten?
That's a pretty good trick.
They same reason I am getting out of the tax business......
Or - will the bottom fall out because people will be afraid to buy ANY house for fear that the title, all titles, are rotten?
Yes and yes, imho.
Just imagine what life will be like under obama care when everyone's medical records go into that big government (subcontractor) database!
For those that have an absolutely clear title, it might make selling their home easier. This will also constrain the supply of acceptable properties for some time to come.
and/or, prices will rise until....
the government steps in and fixes things, which sort of bolsters my theory (circ the early '90s) that someday the gov't, thanks to mortgage insurance, would be the biggest landlord.
Now, I should point out, that free enterprise could solve this problem if the government wasn't so irrefutably opposed to it. Meaning, turn out the present administration, and there's hope. Push the reset button, in other words.
Outstanding! The mortgage industry takes in billions in "fees" and interest but then wants to act illegally, saying they can't make money unless they do. Just like the airline industry.
Basically, the banks need to have the title to foreclose on a home. MERS only registers the loan electronically, so there is NO NOTE. Presumably, these notes got lost! The securities(MBS) have been sold and passed around, sliced and diced. It could well be that there is no clear title to alot of these homes. Legally, without a note, they can NOT foreclose. They don't have the right to foreclose on something that they don't have PROOF they own.
It will hurt the housing market because any home that had been foreclosed on, may not have clear title. I wonder if our home has clear title, and we have been paying all this time. It could well be if you bought a home past 2000, NONE of those homes have clear title.
This is epic fail. Truly.
This is another case of how large investors have it over the small investor: they create financial entities and instruments that can be traded at no cost.
If they can get the government to cover their losses, then it is pure profit for those who are members of the club.
Push the reset button, in other words.
Ok, so when you say note, you mean the actual IOU that was signed at closing? The paperwork the borrowers filed out is lost now, that's at least part of the problem?
I've heard people say that this will be a nightmare for title insuarance? Why, I thought you only needed title insurance if you didn't put 20 percent down. And aren't people required to put more down now?
Sorry for all the questions, I just can't seem to wrap my head around this.
I wonder if our home has clear title, and we have been paying all this time.
That was a thought I had watching this fiasco. We refinanced in 2005 and
pulled a little money out for new carpet, paint ect.
Our loan was sold off to the Mozilo syndicate at Coutrywide, which is now B of A.
I was thinking of requesting copies of the title/loan docs.
If they dont have title and cant foreclose, how can they demand payment
on a loan they cant prove they own.
Not that I would stop making my payments, but anyway I could harass B of A would sure be fun.
Ok, so when you say note, you mean the actual IOU that was signed at closing?
The paperwork the borrowers filed out is lost now, thats at least part of the problem?
-Yes. That is a BIG part of the problem. The banks have no legal right to foreclose WITHOUT that title.
Ive heard people say that this will be a nightmare for title insurance?
Why, I thought you only needed title insurance if you didnt put 20 percent down. And arent people required to put more down now?
-This part I don't know about. But I do know title insurance companies are already saying they will NOT insure these foreclosed on homes. Meaning, if you are buying a foreclosed home, you may not have full title to the home. The Title Insurance companies don't want to insure something that there is no clear title on. I don't think the down payment has anything to do with it.
-And questions are good. I have been trying to understand this implosion since 2008, and there is still alot I don't know. Glad to help out.
"If they dont have title and cant foreclose, how can they demand payment on a loan they cant prove they own."
I know. I wonder the same thing. Of course the judges wouldn't be too impressed right now, with real people in trouble losing their homes.
We found out that back in 2007 when we did a refinance that our loan was sold to Fannie. We didn't know that. We thought that Citibank owned our loan. This spring, Fannie sends us a letter that says that BofA owns our loan, and please make payments to CitiMortgage now. What??? So, we called Fannie and they said "No, BofA doesn't own your loan and the loan number on Fannie's letterhead was bogus." Uh???
So now it seems both Fannie and BofA think that our loan is theirs, and CitiMortgage says it is Fannies. Who knows?
That is what the problem is. THEY DON'T KNOW EITHER!!!!
They both keep trying to send us, "Refinance Now" deals. I smell a rat. Nothing doing. They just want to get paperwork on our home. They lost it, too bad for them. They have already stolen our money with TARP. #$&*&$@#@!!
As best I can make out is that the mortgages were bundled into new paper in various tranches, sort of homogenized into super paper (CMOs), that could be given an investment rating depending on the proportion of safe, somewhat safe, average, poor, and garbage (no-doc) mortgages in the tranche. It may be that one mortgage was split to numerous instruments - perhaps in an anonymous fashion, so the nominal servicer of the mortgage has passed the paper on to the bundler, and remits most of the payments to the bundler, which entity splits and forwards it on in turn to the various CMO owners. Probably a one-to-many problem. Many own a piece of the defaulted mortgage, perhaps unknowingly.
Where's the nut? The servicer doesn't own the mortgage, the bundler doesn't own the mortgage, the CMO holders don't own the mortgage. I cannot think that sophisticated financiers could build themselves this trap - but looks like they did.
Oh, but it doesn't ultimately matter, because the US taxpayer, will eat the dirty end of the stick - courtesy of our most estimable representatives.
If title can be traced to the building of the home and there were no foreclosures in its history (or at least during the era of the go-go financing), it ought to be OK.
Hooray! A loophole for the deadbeats. Free houses!
Taxpayers, bend over.
There is some bathwater to be thrown out, and precious little baby. The author's viewpoint seems to border on anarchist (the financial reform bill is "tepid;") and she seems almost aglee that ownership may be rescinded upon a technicality.
On the face of it, MERS is analogous to DTCC, which nobody has ever heard of but without which (or without something quite like it) the cost of trading stocks would be incalculable. Now, if there is some difference between "real property" and "corporate equity" that is rooted in something other than archaic law, perhaps there is a good reason that MERS is portrayed as a nefarious "front" operation. And given that big money is, in fact, a lot more nefarious these days than it was when DTCC was being set up, perhaps, again, the suspicion is somewhat justified.
But the piece reads like a standard bogey-man story that is getting heavy rotation in all victim classes these days.
And speaking of DTCC, if you buy stock in another person's name to hide your ownership, a court will, if it can, point to you as the "beneficial owner" and the other individual as the nominee. And liabilities associated with ownership will be, naturally, the concern of the "beneficial owner." This is merely just.
So, then, if Citi is the beneficial owner of a mortgage, and MERS is a mere nominee, then Citi in fact owns the liabilities (or assets) associated with that mortgage -- in principal, at least. The suits mentioned in the article seem to only want the "beneficial owner" precedent to apply when there's liability involved, not assets. No fair on that.
Finally, however, the owner of the mortgage(s) is(are) the owner(s) of the bonds that own them. It's that simple. And somewhere, there is a record of who owns what bond and mortgage that bond owns.
And those owners deserve recourse.
Free and clear title thanks to some slimy lawyers' ambitious class action? Maybe it'll fly, but it won't be good for anyone. Except lawyers.
I posted this article, completely unaware of the recent MERS buzzes -- I posted it because I want to see the Impenetrable Death Star known as the Information Complex be blown to bits and I felt that any suit that targets database activity would be a helpful step along the way.

Why Mumbai Needs a Strategic Urban Design/ Ecological Master PlanPosted on January 29, 2010 | 107 CommentsAs Mumbai matures and harbors aspirations of becoming a world-class city or an international business center, the City needs to engage in ecological urban design and accountable urban planning. Urban planning is a means to create a citizen-defined vision for the city's future that is implemented by responsible public and private leaders. Much has been said recently about the need for improving governance of cities in India where there has been little attention paid to the planning or design of cities. Cities throughout history – especially in democracies — evolve from a state of chaos and irresponsible governance (where mostly the interests of the powerful take precedence over the city's general welfare) — to a progressive state where the better informed and educated citizens demand and receive political accountability for better urban life through effective planning and urban design.
How should we perceive the "Indian City"Posted on August 8, 2009 | 33 CommentsPERCEPTION noun 1. the representation of what is perceived; basic component in the formation of a concept [syn: percept] WordNet® 3.0, © 2006 by Princeton University.

So yesterday my DD had a physical therapy appointment (she has special needs), the PT gave me a foam wedge for my DD to use while she is on her tummy to help build up her muscles. The problem is it is just a peice of foam, no cover or anything and the way that my DD drools and everything, I need a cover for it!!
Obviously since it is a peice of foam that was cut by a PT, there are no cover for it already made out there, so I want to know any good tips on measuring something to make a pattern for it. I tried to do a google/yahoo search, but didn't have a lot of luck finding anything that would help me.
Anyone have any advice or tips for me?! Thank you so much in advance to anyone that can help!!

Women's Alpen Component Jacket
MemBrain®10 2L 100% Nylon 4.6 oz/yd
A ski-inspired design to keep you dry and warm, the Alpen Component Jacket is a marvel of wintertime protection. The seam-taped, two-layer construction uses Marmot's waterproof/breathable MemBrain® fabric. A removable Thermal R™ lining adds insulating warmth for rougher conditions, or can be used as a lightweight jacket on its own. A powder skirt, venting PitZips™ and zip-off storm hood with a laminated brim add on-the-mountain versatility, while the colors and sleek style are perfect for in town.
Main Materials
MemBrain®10 2L 100% Nylon 4.6 oz/yd

Regular Fit

Rated 5 out of 5 by KC10 from Warm and durable! I bought this jacket for living on a college campus in New England, and skiing and hiking. I have absoluely NO complaints- the color (red) is vibrant and lively, the down jacket is comfy and cozy, and the shell protects me from the wind and elements. Although I have not tested it out on the mountains yet, I have been outside with this jacket in negative weather, and I must say that I was the only warm one! It really is the best jacket I have ever had. I love Marmot. I have the Precip rain jacket and it does me wonders. This jacket is just another positive buy from Marmot

Rated 5 out of 5 by Peggy52 from Love it , Love it. I bought this jacket because I wanted a waterproof coat that I could use for everyday. I absolutely love all the features. I can wear it in the morning when it is cold and if it warms up during the day, I can zip out the inside and wear either the inside or outside depending on the conditions. It has a nice fit and the hood is adjustable so it doesn't hang over my eyes or blow off when it is really windy. I like that the inside jacket has zipper pockets also. Very satisfied!

Rated 5 out of 5 by jlhj from Great jacket I love this jacket and am so pleased I made the decision to go not just with Marmot, but with this jacket in particular. I have lived in MN for a few years now and this is by far the coldest weather I have ever been in. This jacket has not disappointed me in the least in -25 temps/-40 wind chill. I am in the construction industry, so I've had my fair share of the outdoors. I had originally purchased the Lindsay, but returned it because I wanted a longer jacket and the fleece stuck to everything when putting the jacket on/taking it off. It was however, super cozy. The Alpen fits great and is true to size. The quality of the materials is better than other comparable brands and the zip out liner is also warm & comfy all by itself. The only complaint I have about the Alpen is that the outside pockets are too shallow. The pocket zippers zip upward which can prevent things from falling out, but I don't dare stash my iphone in it without completely zipping it up.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Kris10 from I had hoped for more I bought the Alpen component jacket at the beginning of ski season last year. On average days it's fine, but when it the temps drop to near zero, or it's windy, or there's any significant precipitation the jacket lacks what I've come to expect from Marmot in quality. First, the hood is not helmet compatible, so there's no pulling it up to shield the wind or blowing snow. Second, it isn't that waterproof. On a day of consistent snow earlier this season, I went into the lodge to find the shell was soaked, and things inside the shell pockets (like my phone) were wet. Third, the liner isn't as warm as other Marmot jackets I've had, and it tends to ride up a little- so if my under layers aren't fully tucked in, my lower back is exposed. Finally, I wouldn't describe it as windproof. If I'm wearing fewer layers underneath and a big gust comes up, I definitely feel it. I ski most weekends of the season in all weather conditions- 30 days last year. When temps were slightly above or below freezing, the jacket was fine. As soon as conditions worsened, I wished I'd made a different purchase. I have chosen Marmot over other brands for almost 20 years- it was a brand I thought I could trust. Now I will reconsider.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lauren417 from Great Jacket!! I bought this when I moved from Florida to Denver for winter and it has been amazing. I love the simple, clean look. I've worn it while learning to skiing and it was perfect and lightweight. Kept me incredibly warm and totally dry (I fell quite a bit). Have worn it to football games in the snow and I was the only warm one. Definitely recommend this jacket.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jobe from Full meal deal I bought the men's version of this style jacket 2 years ago and have been totally satisfied with the functionality and quality of the product. It is the best parka I have ever owned. That is why I bought this one for my wife, and as expected she loved it. Very good product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kateinkc from Loved having 2 jackets. Both fit great! Both jackets fit great. Loved that I had two coats to wear together or separately .
