Piscina, bañera de hidromasaje, sala de ejercicios, nevera en la habitación. Personal amable. El dispensador de agua de hielo solía tener sabor (limón/pepino?) al lado de la recepción, ara no está allí
Básico, limpio y agradable. Tiene un bonito y pequeño buffet de desayuno con buen café.
Hermosa vista!!!! Increíble ubicación Restaurante en el lugar conveniente con deliciosa comida Habitación húmeda, incluso con A/C encendido Débil presión de agua en la ducha
Los restaurantes, las habitaciones, las vistas, el personal Nada
Habitación limpia, ubicación y vistas excelentes, personal atento. Opciones por cable limitadas, el servicio de limpieza apareció cuando no era necesario, sin haberlo solicitado y fue molesto.
Great Lake view
We left an item in the room, called within hours but they were not helpful in retrieving the item. Very disappointed that they could not have made a little more effort in returning the item (it was not valuable, but was sentimental).
Accommodations met our needs. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Our sausage at breakfast was cold, but otherwise it was good. If there had been a microwave I would have just heated them up. The eggs were hot
We had a change of plans and needed to shorten our stay. I called within the amount of time allotted to make changes. They would not refund me a night stay. They instead said they could cancel my reservation and rebook for $5 more! Why would I pay $5 more to stay less time? We canceled our reservation and went else where.
Nice quiet stay o Room smelled like someone had previously smoked in it though it was non smoking room also room seemed damp no matter how we adjusted the air conditioner
Nice big room. Good breakfast. Second floor was awkward. You had to take elevator up and it was slow. I often simply walked out the back door and walked around to the front of the building simply to get to the lobby or the pool.
Clean & comfortable room. Un-cleaned parking lot. Main entrance parking was blocked by hotel cars and there was no place to stop and unload luggage on a snowy day. Had to park far from the lobby entrance and drag bags in over 6 inch snow covered road and walkways.
Clean, comfortable room. Breakfast was good.
Good breakfast and location. Bedding was old and worn. .areas of the hotel had unpleasant smell
Definitely recommend this hotel. Great location, very clean and comfortable.
Convenient to highway for a weekend visit. The room was very comfortable, great pool and hot tub area, and a really nice breakfast. Easy access to Capitol area.
The location was convenient and the room was clean. Everything was satisfactory. Enjoyed the hot tub and pool. I was surprised by the smaller size bed and pillows. I regret not having brought my own pillow. The bedding was not comfortable.Thin blanket. I prefer having a sink separate from the tub/toilet area. It makes it easier for more than one person to get ready at a time. The TV was directly across from one bed if that matters to whoever is in the other bed. Only shampoo not cream rinse in the bathroom. Every place I stay has both. Usually I bring my own but forgot this time. That was a bummer. There was nothing major to complain about but would try another place before staying again.
It was clean and seemed to have amenities that would be nice if I was there longer than one night. I selected this hotel for the free airport shuttle. When I checked in and asked about the shuttle they told me they needed a 24 hour notice. All they could offer was to call a taxi for me. I said I could do that myself. Not happy. Also the bed was not very comfortable.
Limpio, cerca de todo para nuestra comodidad. También el transporte era muy útil. La cama muy incómoda y almohadas. Ruido toda la noche no pude dormir.
El hotel estaba limpio y el servicio era muy bueno. Starbuck's café gratis por la mañana. La decoración en los pasillos era oscura y lúgubre. Planean reformar las habitaciones. Me pareció que daba la sensación de apagado. Mi estancia fue realmente bien.
No hay máquina de café No hay microondas No había frigorífico No había desayuno gratis.
Staff was awesome -- friendly, helpful, engaging. The room was clean, well laid-out, functional. Super-close to the square, easy parking, good breakfast. Nothing.
Location, Breakfast, small loby bar Air conditioning unit was loud, fan was strong - blowing directly on bed. Was there for 2 nites - never did get this figured out for temp.
The staff are friendly. The facility is clean and well organized. And it is in a very good location.
Clean No ice machine on the 4th
The room, the highland club, were very nice. The staff (Tamika) was very helpful and accommodating. Funny too. Angie the bartender was also nice. Though free, the breakfast buffet was not organized and food wasn't brought out quickly enough to keep up with the demand. Had to wait for a clean table and silverware.
The room was well appointed Everything except the interior of the room was under construction and they put me in a double when I needed a single king.
Close to the university which was a plus since my son was getting a second look to decide if he'd like to go here in the fall. Liked that they had a shuttle, but we didn't use. Good breakfast. Nice friendly staff. Comfortable rooms. Ran out of some food and especially coffee at the breakfast. We were there at 8:45/9:00. Nothing else since we only used the room to sleep and that was fine.
Picked it for the proximity to state street because we were going to a concert at the Orpheum. Every employee was really friendly and knowledgable. Very clean. Plus two unexpected but awesome bonuses: free breakfast and free shuttle down to state street!!! I don't think I disliked anything about the entire stay!
Las almohadas, los edredones, la ducha Olor a viejo en los pasillos, camas viejas
La selección de comida. El desayuno del domingo debería haber sido hasta las 10:30 de la mañana. Se acabaron las cosas que no reemplazaron a tiempo. El personal del desayuno era servicial
The heating/AC in these rooms is a joke! The 'bedroom' is freezing and the other room is hot! Only 1 unit in the room, controlled by a thermostat in the hot room! Kept having to get keys remade for a multi-night stay. Pool area was so bad with chlorine small, could not stay in there more than 10 minutes! Did seem better the 2nd time we went, but still there. Did appreciate the cookies/fruit at the front desk, parking is good, ( a little hard to get to location of hotel, but plenty of parking there, including for big trailers and trucks. Room was quiet and breakfast was good, overall, it was an o.k. stay, had better, had worse. Probably would stay again, but wish they would fix a few things! Oh, friendly people, too!
Very friendly and helpful hotel clerk. Nice clean, quiet room. Group of softball teams there but very quiet. Great breakfast and opened early to accommodate early tournament times. The hotel is right across from a Noodles & Co, Starbucks, Buffalo Wild Wings and grocery store, to name a few, all within walking distance. I would agree with the a/c issue. Sometimes too hot and then too cool. Not sure what that was all about.
Our room was quite spacious with plenty of room for our 2 year old and a 2 month old infant. Room was quite comfortable and yet was one of the more inexpensive rooms on our trip from Montana to Michigan. The continental breakfast was wonderful, especially the made to order waffles that my 2 year old enjoyed. Best hotel on our trip.
The beds were comfortable and the semi hot breakfast was nice. God location in Madison.
Our experience with the Country Inn Suites of Madison was a wonderful, warm and comfortable experience! The place was full of charm and great personel!
We felt warm and welcome as we entered the lobby. The hostess at the main desk was very helpful providing us with directions to different businesses. As for the room, it was large and quiet and very clean. It left us feeling as if we were at home. Overall, this was a very good experience and we would not hesitate to stay again
Staff helpful, rooms in good shape, free breakfast pretty good too. Only problem is location, too close to the highway so plenty of road noise.
Good location, great staff. Hotel is by highway. My room was on the side facing the highway, but it was very quiet.
Choose this hotel as our options were limited for the WI ironman- price was very high hopefully this was due to it being ironman weekend and not their regular rate. Breakfast could have been better- ran out of coffee and other things! Exercise facility wasn't much but they did offer free passes to Anytime Fitness. Easy to get to from highway very small pool area
Very nice place to stay outside of the Madison campus area, but close enough to get there quickly.
Overall pleasant experience. Clean, friendly, comfortable. Good price. Adequate breakfast. Convenient location to downtown: we visited capitol area in evening, and again after breakfast.

Our two girls (specially the eldest) gave me gray hair and an ulcer. The good news is that they both learned life lessons and went on to profit from them. All three are now children we are very proud of. I discovered that after they reach about thirty you can actually become friends - YEA!!

Re: Convert Graphics3D to Graphics2D. Is it possible?
I had thought that you could use FullGraphics to get the coordinates
of axes lines and tick marks, then write a function to project the
coordinates of the function points, axes, tick marks, etc, onto a
plane and redraw as 2D graphics. Alas, FullGraphics does not work on
Graphics3D objects. Perhaps there is another way to crack into the
underlying OpenGL structure, but I cannot find it.
You may have to work with bitmaps. It is my understanding that
publishers like to work with large TIFF files anyway (memory is no
object to them.)

Marker Tutorial by WindWo1fWatch
©2012-2017 WindWo1f
Here's the little tutorial I promised on how I color and shade with markers. Sorry that it's not very insightful or anything, it's juts how I do it. And you can apply this technique to any drawing, I just drew Zim for this cus I can't seem to draw anything else. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
Here's the finished picture [link]
Here's the finished picture [link]
dude, I jus got prismacolor markers already and I tried the shading and it worked.... and I love these markers they are so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i kinda have a problem with my colors. they are prismacolor as well, but when i use the mullberry(and im 100% certain it is mullberry) it looks almost... too pink. like with yours it looks at least a little bit red. same with the pink, mine seems way to neon-ish. but yours seems fine! i dont think you can help me but its just a but odd is all.
That's weird. Are you absolutely sure it's mulberry? Because I've bought a couple and they've been the same color each time.
Yes I don't understand it. Next time I'm at Blick's I'll have to check the ones they have there to make sure mine isn't a rejected mullberry or something -w-"
Wow that's good it helped me out a lot when use my pens to color stuff in
Great this was very helpful!
Very cool!
THIS IS A GREAT HELP! THanks!
yaya thanks it was very helpful;1! n.n
I love how you shaded Zim! Some people on here don't even do that, then it looks plain boring.
But I love yours!!
But I love yours!!
thank you! and I agree that Zim tends to look boring when he's not shaded
I luv mi copics :3
Ive never used prismas before but i do use prisma pencils
Ive never used prismas before but i do use prisma pencils
yay now i know how to NOT streak!!! ugh i hate it when it happens, but it does give a nice effect...
yeah I can see how it might be good for some things, but over all it can really ruin a picture
Sweet and simple ^^ But very very helpful! Thank youuuu!! I'm getting markers soon *swoon* so this is just in time! 8D
a;shjg;lkufh awesome. i only ever used pen for the out line and it smeared, i'll try sharpy!

For the past two weeks, we have been scrolling down the top 10 stories of the year 2010. Here is the top story of 2010:
It was like a shootout from the wild-west. On February 15th, two Starke County officers tried to serve a felony warrant on Michael Drogosz at Bass Lake.
After he failed to come out, officers called for a SWAT team. Before those officers could arrive, officers Don Ferguson and Bill Dulin took fire from inside the residence. With bullets whizzing too close for comfort, the officers fired back in self defense.
A second frightening event then unfolded, as John Brooke in body armor approached the home on foot. John Brooke, it was reported at the time, was carrying an assault rifle. Officer Fred Baker was in the vicinity and it was felt he would have been in imminent danger had shots been fired. It ended well, when tear gas flushed Drogosz from the home.
But that was not the end of the story, as police found a cache of guns, and molotov cocktails that law enforcement officers subsequently found out were to be used in the robbery of one or more Starke County banks.
Drogosz was sentenced to 70 years in prison and the other arrested participants either have been sentenced, or are awaiting trial. What it showed was that just because we live in a peaceful rural county, crime can break out in many ways. Since the event, the police have upgraded their firepower and training.

The folks at Grist Magazine bring our attention to this hilarious missive from the Office of Intelligence (sic) and Analysis at the US Department of Homeland Security, titled Preventing Attacks by Animal Rights Extremists and Eco-Terrorists.
The "attacks" in question include – "organizing protests," "flyer distribution," "inundating computers with e-mail causing them to crash," "tying up company phone lines to prevent legitimate calls," and my favorite, "sending continuous faxes in order to drain the ink supply from company fax machines."

She's been busy shooting scenes for the upcoming movie "LOL: Laughing Out Loud", but Ashley Greene took a break to attend the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday (September 12).
The "Twilight" gal looked stunning in Giambattista Valli as she arrived on the white carpet and happily posed for pictures before heading inside L.A.'s Nokia Theatre.
On Friday, the paparazzi caught up with Ms Greene as she hit up a local studio to get fitted for the evening's wardrobe.
Ashley is on the list as one of the VMA presenters along with celebrity favorites Justin Timberlake, Cory Monteith, Ellen DeGeneres, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber, just to name a few.
Enjoy the pictures of Ashley Greene at the 2010 MTV VMAs (September 12).

Chatel Mountain Style 2012
Chatel Mountain Style is clearly so big, steep, and generally gnarly that most of the competitors chose to ride downhill bikes. At a scale that can only be compared to Rampage on the FMB World Tour, Chatel was not nice to the little bikes.
Another uncooperative feature of this year's contest was weather, and as it turns out, the finals were called off and qualifying runs were used to determine who was going to take home the bacon.
Brandon Semenuk kept it together more than most, tricking a few jumps that others were happy enough to land cleanly. Cam Zink pulled in second with Kyle Strait third. Watch videos of the top three runs below, apparently filmed with a potato.
Final results of Châtel Mountain Style:
1. Brandon Semenuk 86.29
2. Cam Zink 78.43
3. Kyle Strait 72.57
4. Kelly McGarry 66.00
5. Andreu Lacondeguy 60.57
6. Nico Vink 55.86
7. Sam Pilgrim 52.43
8. Kurt Sorge 50.86
9. Anthony Messere 47.43
10. Pierre Edouard Ferry 46.43
Semenuk looked loose and fast, but that backflip exhibited the same smoothness we saw in his flipwhip in his winning Crankworx run last year. What do you think of the Chatel course?

Robert Allen
I study social movements & political economy. I'm currently researching the life and work of C.L. Dellums, a major California labor and civil rights activist of national stature who, with A. Philip Randolph, was an organizer and leader of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters' Union, the largest black labor union in U.S. history. An Oakland resident, Dellums used his union base to lead the struggle against employment discrimination generally, ultimately securing passage of California's historic Fair Employment Practices law. As director of the West Coast Region of the NAACP he also played a critical role in the fight against discrimination in housing.
Nikki Jones
Areas of expertise include urban ethnography, urban sociology, race and ethnic relations and criminology and criminal justice, with a special emphasis on the intersection of race, gender, and justice.
Michel Laguerre
Areas of academic interest include contemporary social theory, information technology, diaspora studies and transnational politics, multiculturalism and globalization, and global metropolitan studies.
Waldo E. Martin, Jr.
Modern African American Cultural Politics: 1945-1980. Examining the cultural impact and significance of the Civil Rights and Black Power struggles on the Black Freedom Struggle specifically, and postwar American Culture more generally.
Leigh Raiford
My teaching and research interests include race, gender and visual culture with an emphasis on film and photography; race and racial formations of the United States; twentieth century African American social movements; memory; and black popular culture.
Stephen Small
Stephen Small's research is organized around the social scientific analysis of contemporary racial formations, and addresses links between historical structures and contemporary manifestations of racial formations in the USA and elsewhere in the Diaspora. His interests include race and representations in public history and collective memory; racial formations in Europe and the US; and race and race mixture in the US and the Caribbean under slavery and in contemporary times.
Ula Taylor
Prof. Taylor is the co-author of Panther: The Illustrated History of the Black Panther Movement and the Story Behind the Film. She teaches two required history courses in African American Studies and courses such as the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's and African American Women's History. Current work in progress: Re-Gendering a Nation: A History of the Nation of Islam. (Read more about Professor Taylor in the Fall 2002 issue of Faultlines.)
Charles Briggs
I have long been interested in the politics of language, knowledge, and communication, particularly as they inform and are informed by constructions of modernity and tradition and modes of structuring and naturalizing social inequalities. I have worked extensively in Chicano/a communities in New Mexico and indigenous communities in Venezuela, and I am now conducting research in Cuba, Venezuela, and California. My work focuses on racial inequalities in health and constructions of popular violence, and I am currently exploring how imaginations of knowledge and communication produce and stratify subjectivities, particularly through news coverage of health issues.
Meg Conkey
Feminist thought in anthropology and archaeology; the archaeology of gender, and the representation of gender in the past. (Also, early human visual culture; prehistory of Europe; archaeology and outreach; archaeology and multimedia.)
Aihwa Ong
My research and teaching have always dealt with the multiple connections between the United States and Asia. I have written on overseas Chinese and on Southeast Asian refugees in the United States. I treat the experiences of Asian immigrants as a lens through which to ruminate on American citizenship, and its reliance on race and gender modes of governing. Currently, I am completing a book of essays that discusses the links between neoliberal values and citizenship expectations in various locales in the Asia Pacific. A new project explores the interplay of knowledge, race and gender in globalizing Asian cities.
Asian American & Asian Diaspora Studies
Catherine Ceniza Choy
Professor Choy is an historian whose research interests include interdisciplinary and transnational approaches to the study of Asian American history, U.S. imperialism, and Philippine and Filipino American Studies. Her book, Empire of Care: Nursing and Migration in Filipino American History, analyzed the imperial origins of the professionalization of Philippine nursing and their connections to the mass migrations of Filipino nurses in the second half of the twentieth century. She is beginning a second book project that will focus on the history of the international adoption of Asian children in the United States.
Evelyn Nakano Glenn
My research interests focus on the political economy of households, the intersection of race and gender, immigration, and citizenship. My current project is a historical comparative study of the transnational race and gender division of caring labor, which examines historical continuities in the association between unequal citizenship and caring labor.
Elaine Kim
I am interested in Asian American literature and visual art, Korean American literary and cultural studies, representations of gender and ethnicity, sites of conflict and collaboration among racialized groups, and U.S. public education.
Michael Omi
Asian Americans and racial stratification, racial and ethnic categories and the U.S. Census, and both racist and anti-racist social movements.
Lok Siu
Professor Siu was educated at Berkeley and Stanford before teaching first at New York University and most recently at the University of Texas at Austin. She is the author of Memories of a Future Home: Diasporic Citizenship of Chinese in Panama (2005), co-editor, with Ethnic Studies alumna Rhacel Parrenas, of Asian Diasporas: New Formations, New Conceptions (2007) and co-editor, with the gender and cultural citizenship working group, of Gendered Citizenships: Transnational Perspectives on Knowledge Production, Political Activism, and Culture (2009). She will be teaching Asian American Studies 131: Asian Diasporas.
Katharya Um
Prof. Um has written and published extensively on the politics and developments in Southeast Asia, particularly Indochina, and has participated in many international conferences on the Pacific Rim. She brings to the field of Asian American Studies an emphasis on the socio-historical and comparative approaches to refugee and migration studies. Her current research interests focus on transnational and on cultural transmission in the context of population dislocation.

Sau-Ling C. Wong
Construction of gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and national & cultural membership in Asian American literature, esp. Chinese American literature and Chinese-language immigrant literature and film.
Laura Kray, Haas School of Business
My research explores the impact of gender stereotypes on how men and women negotiate. Specifically, I explore the contexts under which women fall prey to the negative stereotype that they are ineffective negotiators versus react against it and prevail at the bargaining table. I explore the interplay between power, cognition, and motivation in mixed-gender negotiations.
Chicano/Latino Studies
Beatriz Manz
Interested in Mayan populations, refugees, migration to the US
Laura Pérez

Alex Saragoza
Alex M. Saragoza received his Ph.D. in Latin American history from University of California, San Diego. A specialist on modern Mexico. Saragoza's work delves into the intersections of Latin American history with that of the United States as a consequence of migration. His research has examined the structural origins of Mexican migration, focusing on the role of the state in the process of the concentration of wealth and power in Mexico. In addition, he has done research on the transnational aspects of cultural formations in Mexico, including work on Mexican cinema, radio and television. His current interests center on ideology and representation from a transnational perspective.
Comparative Literature
Chana Kronfeld
Modernist women poets (Hebrew, Yiddish, English); feminist stylistics; the marginal as exemplary in literary history; ideology in literary historiography; translation as cultural negotiation. Current projects include: The Grammars of Gender and the Genders of Grammar: Rereading the "Woman as Land" Metaphor; Israeli anti-war poetry and the return of the political poem; a monograph titled The Full Severity of Compassion: The Poetry of Yehuda Amichai, and a collaborative translation project (with Chana Bloch), the Selected Poetry of Dahlia Ravikovitch, the leading Israeli woman poet and peace activist.
John M. Quigley
I study spatial economic relationships in urban areas -- linkages between housing, public services, and employment, for example. I've studied the relationship between housing market segregation and employment outcomes and evaluated policies to reduce the mismatch between the residential locations of low-income and minority households and metropolitan jobs. Most recently, I've analyzed the linkage between immigration between and among metropolitan areas and the levels of house prices in those areas.
Lisa García Bedolla
Lisa García Bedolla's research interests center around the civic engagement, community activity, and political incorporation of racial/ethnic groups in the United States, with a particular focus on the intersection of race, class, and gender.
Daniel Perlstein
My work focuses on the relationship of democratic aspirations and social inequality in the history of American education. This work has touched on issues ranging from gender and school violence to the racial politics of urban education and the pedagogical ideas of the African American freedom struggle. Current projects include a history of the evolving relationship of liberalism and American education.
Frank Worrell
My research interests include a focus on racial and ethnic identity and their relationship to achievement and risk status in the United States and in Trinidad and Tobago. I am also interested in developing instruments to measure these constructs.
Elizabeth Abel
My research over the past decade has addressed the intersections of gender, race, and psychoanalysis. In my current project, I analyze the representational politics of the Jim Crow signs that traversed the United States for three quarters of a century, and of the documentary movement that produced our cultural memory of these signs. I also track the motivations and pathways of the current industry in reproducing racial signs that have become coveted items both for white supremacists and for African American collectors struggling to preserve segregation's material history.
Dorri Beam
American Literature before 1865, Nineteenth-Century American Women Writers
Anne Cheng
My research interests often focus on the relationship between politics and aesthetics, using literary and psychoanalytic materials as the fulcrum through which to examine social issues relating to racial and gender grief. My book The Melancholy of Race argues for understanding race as a melancholic construction that imprisons both dominnat and marginal subjects in haunted relations of identification and loss. My new research includes a project on the politics of beauty and race and a project on American film comedies and the staging of race and gender therein.
Marcial González
I am currently working on a book manuscript titled The Chicana/o Novel: Toward a Dialectical Literary Criticism. In this work, I undertake a study of several important Chicana/o novels published from 1970 to 1992. I also analyze postmodernism's influence on Chicana/o literary studies since 1980 and find that postmodernism's critique of history and subjectivity has limited the potential for Chicana/o literary and cultural studies to formulate an effective social criticism.
Abdul JanMohamed
My current project: the effect of the threat of lynching on the formation of black male subjectivity.
Ron Loewinsohn
Contemporary Literature
Colleen Lye
History of racialization and American empire; globalization and American culture; Asia Pacific regionalisms; Asian American literary formations; postcolonial theory and marxism. (Read more about Professor Lye in the Spring 2005 issue of Faultlines.)
Chris Nealon
I'm interested in vernacular theories of history and historical experience.
Gautam Premnath
My broad research and teaching interests are in Anglophone postcolonial literature (especially from the Caribbean and South Asia), post-1945 British literature, and theories of nationalism, transnationalism, and diaspora. My current research centers on rethinking the relationship between diaspora and nation, through an examination of the cultural and literary traffic between India and the diasporic Indian community in Trinidad.
Poloumi Saha
My research and teaching agenda spans eastward and forward from the late 19th century decline of British colonial rule in the Indian Ocean through to the Pacific and the rise of American global power and domestic race relations in the 20th century. Engaging postcolonial studies, ethnic American literature, and gender and sexuality theory, I hope to map an expansive view of empire and of what constitutes Anglophone literature routed not primarily through Great Britain and Western Europe but rather through circuits of affiliation and encounter between Asia and the Americas.
José Saldívar
My teaching and research focus on the areas of literary and cultural studies, the history of the ethnic novel, inter-American subaltern studies, and Chicano/a Studies. My articles have appeared in ALH (American Literary History), Daedalus: Journal of the Arts & Sciences, Nepantla, Revista Casa de las Américas, The Americas Review, and other major journals.
Bryan Wagner
My current research concerns violence and political modernization after slavery. I'm writing a book, Disturbing the Peace: Black Vagrancy and the Grounds of Race, which advances this inquiry by reading black popular culture of the late nineteenth century.
Environmental Science, Policy, & Management
Claudia Carr
I am primarily involved in research concerning alternative types of rural development policies in terrestrial (especially drylands and river basin environments) and coastal and offshore resources in the 'Third World.' My approach to development problems, for a number of years in Africa but also in parts of Latin America and Asia, entails identifying the global, national and local processes involved in development (and conservation), including the constraints they present for state and locally based policy and practice. The international aid process provides a major focus of this work, largely because of its pervasive influence on development policy and practice in developing countries. Much of my research has involved 'indigenous' populations and their resources, from African agropastoral to coastal agro-fishing economic contexts, including in western Latin America and the southern Pacific region.
Ethnic Studies
Mario Barrera
I'm currently in the process of finishing a documentary film entitled "Latino Stories of World War II." My most recent article is "Are Latinos A Racialized Minority," which has been submitted for publications. I expect my future academic research to focus on the relationship between American political parties, on the one hand, and ethnic and religious groups on the other.
Patricia Hilden
I have just begun a project studying racialized groups and the building of the railroads in the Southwest in the period from the 1870s to WWII. I am particularly interested in Native Americans working as wage laborers on the railroads, ont he effects of railroads on Native communities (both physical and cultural). I am also interested in the ways in which members of racialized groups interacted while working for the railroads or for ancillary businesses.
Melinda Micco (Mills College)
American Indian history, film studies and literature, Multiracial identity studies, Ethnic identity in tribal communities
José Saldívar
My teaching and research focus on the areas of literary and cultural studies, the history of the ethnic novel, inter-American subaltern studies, and Chicano/a Studies.

She is currently working on a book manuscript about imagining queer interventions into everyday life. (Read more about Prof. Rodriguez in the Fall 2009 issue of Faultlines.)
Charis Thompson
My current research involves the ways in which various kinds of "cultural" views of race, ethnicity, nation, and immigration status are being reinscribed back into the language of science through DNA, genetic, and reproductive science and medicine. In particular, I am looking ethnographically at hierarchies of choice and preference of egg and sperm and embryo donors by couples and individuals in a number of different sites in the US, and transnationally. Skin color and its codings as beauty, class, agragrian status, ethnorace, nation, and so on, are a major dimension of my analysis. Areas of interest include Feminist Theory; Science and Technology Studies; Reproductive and Genetic Technologies; Transnational Comparative Studies of Reproduction, Population, Biodiversity and Environment. Recent book: Ontological Choreography: Reproductive Technologies and their Subjectivities and Economies.
Beatriz Manz
Interested in Mayan populations, refugees, migration to the US
Gordon Chang (Stanford University)

Integrative Biology
Tyrone Hayes
My research focuses on the role of steroid hormones in amphibian development and I conduct both laboratory and field studies in the U.S. and Africa. The two main areas of interest are metamorphosis and sex differentiation, but I am also interested in growth (larval and adult) and hormonal regulation of aggressive behavior.
International and Area Studies
David Leonard (emeritus)
The politics and administration of development, particularly in Africa.
John Lie
I am currently working on two books. One is a work of general social theory that focuses on modes of explanation, tentatively entitled The Consolation of Social Theory. Another is probably the final installment of my research on the Korean diaspora, tentatively entitled Diasporic Nationalism.
Latin American/Latino Studies
Felicity Schaeffer-Grabiel (UC Santa Cruz)
I am interested in transnational culture, intimacy, and popular culture between Latin America and the United States. In my current project, I look at how globalization affects intimacy across national borders, how women from Latin America use contemporary global changes from neoliberalism, to the expansion of the Internet, migration circuits, tourism, to Internet marriage industries for their own benefit. Some of the questions I am interested in are: How does love intersect with the political economy? In what ways do contemporary patterns of desire reflect a history of empire? How do global changes reshape U.S. men's masculine identities?
School of Law
My research has examined issues of race, ethnicity, and discrimination, particularly as they relate to educational access and the growing Latino population in the United States. In addition, I have published a book on Interracial Intimacy: The Regulation of Race and Romance and I am currently working on an anthology of "Race and Law Stories." Other current projects include a study of the recent Michigan litigation challenging affirmative action in law school admissions.
Marjorie Shultz
My research interests include issues of both race and gender especially in the context of health care law and policy, as well as in legal education. I have done considerable work on the law and ethics of reproductive technology and medical research. I am currently completing a 5 year empirical study that seeks to develop a new law school admission test. The test my Co Investigator, Sheldon Zedeck and I, are creating will try to predict who will be good lawyer rather than simply who will be a good law student, as is the focus of the current Law School Admission Test. We believe that such a test could improve the racial diversity of law school student bodies.
David Alan Sklansky
Among my interests are issues of race and gender in criminal justice. I have written, for example, about racially disproportionate drug sentences, about racial bias in vehicle stops, about the role of equality in the law of search and seizure, and about the changing racial and gender demographics of American police forces.
Leti Volpp
My research centers on legal understandings of the relationship between culture, migration and identity, and on theories of citizenship. I am in particular interested in Asian American racialization and in the culturalization of racism, especially as it is expressed through concern about cultural forms of gendered subordination.
Leanne Hinton
My primary research interests revolve around language death and language revitalization, and thus the politics of language. Since race is a very important issue in language politics and language death, I have frequently been involved in language issues that involve race, such as the ebonics controversy, Official English, bilingual education, and laws affecting immigrant languages and Native American languages. I have also done research on language and gender, and run classes where many of the term papers are about language and gender, language and race, or an intersection of both. I am working on a book called "The American Languages," related to a class I teach by the same name, which will have a number of chapters on language and race and/or gender. (Read more about Professor Hinton in the Spring 2003 issue of Faultlines.)
Richard Rhodes

I am also interested in the ways in which members of racialized groups interacted while working for the railroads or for ancillary businesses.
Beth H. Piatote
I am currently completing the manuscript, Domestic Subjects: Gender, Citizenship, and Law in Native American Literature, which focuses on legal discourses in the literary works of the following indigenous writers: E. Pauline Johnson, John Oskison, Mourning Dove, Alice Callahan, and D'Arcy McNickle. I am completing a short fiction collection called Beading Lesson and Other Stories, and continue to write translations of Ni:mi:pu: literary, liturgical, and historical texts. My second academic book project, funded in part by a grant from the Hellman Family Foundation, will focus on Nez Perce texts and translation.
Political Science
David Leonard (emeritus)
The politics and administration of development, particularly in Africa.
Taeku Lee
My primary interests are in racial/ethnic politics, public opinion/survey research, and social movements/political participation. I am currently at work on several projects that examine the concept of "race" and "identity" and their consequences for contemporary politics in the US.
Stephen Hinshaw
I am interested, among many topics, in the development of psychopathology (particularly attention deficits, antisocial behavior, and depression) in girls and women. Our longitudinal databases also include diverse samples from an ethnic and racial perspective. I am also pursuing research on the stigmatization of mental illness across diverse cultures.
Dacher Keltner
Dacher's research interests focus on three broad questions. A first pertains to the determinants and consequences of power and status. A second focuses on how individual differences in emotion, say the tendency towards compassion or awe, shape the individual's relationships life course. A final interest has to do with characterizing the forms and functions of the different positive emotions, including awe, love, gratitude, compassion.
Ann Kring
My broad research interests are in emotion and psychopathology, with a particular emphasis on schizophrenia and depression. One ongoing study is examining emotional responding in women with schizophrenia. A second major focus of my research is on the origins and consequences of individual differences in emotional expressivity. Ongoing studies seek to answer questions such as under what circumstances and in the presence of what individuals might men and women differ in the expression of specific emotions; how social context modifies dispositional expressive tendencies, and the ways in which men and women use emotion to negotiate status and power differences.
Rodolfo Mendoza-Denton
My broad research interests lie in issues at the interface of culture, social cognition, and intergroup processes. More specifically, I draw from an interactionist, Person-in-Situation perspective to understand how marginalization of one's social group affects basic processes related to social identity and intergroup relationships.
Kaiping Peng
The central theme of my current research interests is the intricate relationship between human cultures and basic psychological processes, with focuses on two lines of research: 1) culture and social cognition, studying cultural effects on causal inference, judgment and decision making, 2) cultural and cognitive aspects of ethnicity and race, including the nature, function and centrality of white, black and Asian identities.
School of Public Health
Susan Ivey
Dr. Ivey is interested in cardiovascular risk factors in vulnerable populations especially immigrants, and women especially. She also is interested in local and national policy change to improve access to health care services and improve overall health status.
Seth Holmes
Dr. Holmes is a cultural and medical anthropologist and physician whose work focuses broadly on social hierarchies, health disparities, and the ways in which perceptions of social difference naturalize and normalize these inequalities.
Public Policy
Dan Kammen
Science and technology policy focused on energy, development and environmental management. Technology and policy questions in developing nations, particularly involving: the linkages between energy, health, and the environment; technology transfer and diffusion; household energy management; renewable energy; women; minority groups. Global environmental change including deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption. Environmental and technological risk. Management of innovation and energy R&D policy. Geographic expertise: Africa; Latin America.
Shannon Jackson, Rhetoric and Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
My research is located in performance studies and American studies from the late 19th century to contemporary, focusing on the role of social and aesthetic performances in movements for social change and in the history of higher education. My current project considers the infrastructural politics of art practices that respond to materially fraught issues such as housing, the environment, disability, childcare, labor inequity, and social welfare.
Charis Thompson
My current research involves the ways in which various kinds of "cultural" views of race, ethnicity, nation, and immigration status are being reinscribed back into the language of science through DNA, genetic, and reproductive science and medicine. In particular, I am looking ethnographically at hierarchies of choice and preference of egg and sperm and embryo donors by couples and individuals in a number of different sites in the US, and transnationally.

Recent book: Ontological Choreography: Reproductive Technologies and their Subjectivities and Economies.
Linda Williams
I am interested in the intersections of race, gender and sexuality in moving image culture.
Social Welfare
Julian Chow
My research has centered on two substantive areas: first, to study social service delivery and program development for ethnic minority and especially immigrant populations within a community context. Second, to understand the factors that are attributable to the differential use of human and social services among ethnic minority populations. My interest is to seek ways to improve access to services and to provide better community care for ethnic minority and immigrant groups.
Kurt Organista
HIV prevention and the treatment of depression with Mexican/Latino migrants in the US.
Tina Sacks
Fields of special interest include racial disparities in health; social determinants of health; race, class and gender; and poverty and inequality.
Irene Bloemraad
Irene Bloemraad focuses on nexus between immigration and politics, with a special focus on the dynamics that facilitate (or hinder) immigrants' incorporation into the political systems of the United States and Canada. Current projects examine immigrant/ethnic community organizations, the role of NGOs in fostering immigrant women's political leadership, the degree of "public voice" accorded to immigrants in the mainstream media, the political socialization of Mexican-American children in mixed-status families and research on naturalization and dual citizenship. Some of these themes appear in Bloemraad's forthcoming book, Becoming a Citizen, to be published in 2006 by University of California Press.
John Lie
I am currently working on two books. One is a work of general social theory that focuses on modes of explanation, tentatively entitled The Consolation of Social Theory. Another is probably the final installment of my research on the Korean diaspora, tentatively entitled Diasporic Nationalism.
Martin Sanchez-Jankowski
My work involves the study of inter-ethnic violence in Los Angeles and Oakland Schools, and research on the dynamics of social change and persistence in long-term poverty neighborhoods in Los Angeles and New York City.
Sandra Smith
My research interests focus on urban poverty, joblessness, and social networks and social capital. I am currently completing a book manuscript, tentatively titled Lone Pursuit: Cultures of Distrust and Individualism among Black Poor Jobseekers, in which I examine the role of joblessness discourses in inhibiting or facilitating cooperation between black poor jobseekers and their jobholding ties.
My interests include race as a denegated form of ethnicity; embodiment; the penal state; urban marginality; social theory and the politics of reason. One project is a comparative historical sociology of the four "peculiar institutions" that have fabricated race in the United States over four centuries: slavery, the Jim Crow system of racial terrorism, the urban ghetto, and the hyperghetto-cum-prison.

What's your nighttime hair routine?
pRoy: If you had asked me this a few years back, I would say set my hair for a style and wear a satin bonnet to bed. I don't know about everyone else, but I absolutely hate the ring around the forehead after wearing the bonnet. No matter where I was placing it before bed, it would always end up on my forehead front and center. So, now I use my handy pillow bonnet and/or satin pillowcase and pray for the best when I wake up. I let my curls run free! If I need to preserve a style by twisting it up at night, I twist it up and sleep without a bonnet. I may opt for a scarf just to hold objects in place such as rollers, bobby pins, globs of extra product that didn't dry up before bed, etc.
What are your go-to styles?
pRoy: My go-to style is a twist out. When my sides were shaved it was anything to showcase my sides, but now that I am growing them out I try to blend my hair a little better. Regardless, my twist out covers the monstrosity that is growing back known as my sides, so it will remain my go-to style until further notice. But as you can see from my YouTube channel, I love to experiment with my hair so I'm open to rock anything cute!

SmoothLove this one. So far my fav. It taste to me like fresh hulled pecans. Highly recommend this one for those who dont want the candied flavors and just a good tobacco hit.
The BEST of tobacco flavorsI love this one. Hands down the best.
Great Taste!I'm fairly new to vaping...I got this flavor in a sampler pack, and was immediately hooked. I think it tastes real close to a real cig. I'm smoking the 24ml now and it's perfect, the Cowboy 36 was too strong.
Virginiavery good tobacco vape, smooth, with a good overall taste.
Why is this always out?This is my all day vape and the best as far as I am concerned.

Where to now for Aborigines?
Page Tools
ATSIC has failed, and the next challenge is to find a better way, writes Michelle Grattan.
The most radical divide since the late 1980s, when the Hawke government proposed its self-governing indigenous body, has opened between the Coalition and Labor over how to handle Aboriginal affairs. But whoever wins this year's election, the area is in for sweeping changes.
It's not before time. The present system is a mess that is letting down those it's meant to assist. Finding solutions that won't just lead to a repeat cycle is, however, a lot harder than identifying the glaring problems.
The Government and Labor agree on one thing - that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission is a disaster. The harsh reality is that, despite the flawed structure of ATSIC, its members have no one to blame but themselves for much of the present crisis. They have behaved badly over too many issues to retain much sympathy; not all commissioners are culpable but the better ones have been too weak to have an impact.
The Coalition has already gutted ATSIC, last year hiving off its funding powers to a separate public service body.
It's not clear what sort of advisory system the Government will adopt when it puts the torch to ATSIC. Labor's pre-emptive announcement that it would abolish ATSIC, replacing it with a new elected body, has put the Opposition a step in front of a Government still examining the review of ATSIC it has had since late last year.
Indigenous Affairs Minister Amanda Vanstone was short on specifics yesterday but said: "We'll find a way to engage with indigenous people in much more meaningful fashion than ATSIC ever did." Anyway, "any representational body wouldn't be the only source of all knowledge - there is no substitute for federal, state and local governments speaking with communities direct", she said.
ATSIC has so trashed its own reputation that it has almost dealt itself out of a vitally important debate.
The sharpest edge of the Coalition's approach is how money and services for indigenous people are delivered in future.
John Howard, who has never liked the idea of services for Aborigines going through a separate structure, is looking at "mainstreaming" those key programs - such as the indigenous work for the dole program, which provides money for more than 35,000 people - that are separately delivered. This would bring $1 billion of programs under general departments. The rest of the $2.7 billion Aboriginal budget is already "mainstreamed".
While the Government is using the present shambles to abandon "self-determination" (or, to redefine it: Vanstone says it is "people having a decent education and therefore the opportunity to make meaningful choices about their lives"), Labor plans yet another try at making separate administrative arrangements work. But it would build in substantial checks.
It can be argued this is the triumph of Labor's faith over its previous experience. The Hawke government, driven by its zealous Aboriginal affairs minister, Gerry Hand, set up ATSIC, refusing to heed warnings, including from some of its own, that it would probably end in tears. So there was some irony in Mark Latham saying Labor would chop ATSIC.
But Labor's spokesman, Kerry O'Brien, believes old hazards can be avoided. Labor wouldn't return to the structure that combined representational and executive powers. The elected body would not dole out money; its functions would be as advocate and a watchdog, rather like a Senate estimates committee, according to O'Brien.
He says the ATSIC single-member constituencies have meant many good people have had difficulty winning election. As things stand, "strong family connections give people the best chance of being elected"; that can mitigate against quality candidates.
"I don't think (the new body) needs to be as big as the present 18-member commission," O'Brien says. "One possibility is to have one person elected from each state," making it harder to control the results of elections. Another option, he says, is to have proportional representation, with people voting across a larger area.
On the crucial and fraught issue of the way funding is decided and delivered, Labor proposes another new national body, on which would be represented federal and state governments, the advocacy body and regional indigenous bodies.
This would allocate funding to the elected indigenous regional bodies (which would also have some appointed members from state, territory and local governments). A person would not be allowed to be elected to both a regional body and the national advocacy body.
The challenge for the Government, with its preference for "mainstreaming" the delivery of funds and services, is to deal with criticism that its model will not give indigenous people enough real say.
Labor's approach is stronger on indigenous involvement but more open to the conflicts of interest that wrecked ATSIC.
Meanwhile, the Government is already making a quiet assault on another problem: Aboriginal organisations receiving large grants that are often substantially wasted or worse. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Services, the new funding body that the Government created when it split ATSIC's functions, is starting to contract out services at the local level. This process, still at an early stage, will put pressure on Aboriginal organisations, such as legal aid groups, to deliver services more effectively.
O'Brien cautiously supports contracting out, with conditions. "If the community is happy with contracting out, that's the reason it should be done - but not as a matter of ideology," he says.
Yesterday acting ATSIC chairman Lionel Quartermaine made a plea for ATSIC to be saved, condemned the performance of "mainstream" departments such as health and education, which already deliver programs to Aborigines, and urged a royal commission into all indigenous funding and service delivery around Australia.
Unfortunately, though, ATSIC has so trashed its own reputation that it has almost dealt itself out of a vitally important debate.

I was wondering if any cat wants to go the the bar with me today....today would have been my 21st birthday!!
I was born to Cleo (Long haired beautiful calico girl that Mom rescued in college. They people who had her thought it was cute to blow wacky tobacky (pot) in her face) and Beasely, a handsome siamese....what a combination that made!
I was a regal Maine Coon who acted like a dog (known as a cadog), would talk up a storm and when I cried, it sounded like a newborn. I loved loved loved my Mommy. I loved to crawl under her sweatshirt and sleep next to her heart.
She knew that I had to fly to the Bridge, it was my time. She never ever thought she would feel for another cat the way she felt with me. Boy, am I glad she was wrong! As you all know, Chloe is her very special and love princess and Harley is her large orange boycat. I'm so glad that she found those most special furbabies. They are the first she ever adopted....growing up on a farm, there were cats galore!
Okay...off to the bar. Do you think I'll get carded? Mom is almost 43 and gets carded once in a while. Boy, does that make her day!
Here is what I just observed from my wonderful spot at the Bridge:
My Mommy lit my candle in observance of my 4 years here at the Rainbow Bridge. It seems like forever ago,and yet , just like yesterday. Mom placed a bouquet of white roses, said a prayer of thanks that we were together for 16 1/2 years (almost) and a prayer of gratitude for Chloe and Harley. Four years ago tonight, they were stuck in a cold metal cage at the SPCA. They got the good life when my purrants whisked them away to their forever home. 4 YEARS AGO!
I miss my family so much but it was my time to fly to the Bridge to be restore to good health. I was a very very healthy kitty until the last year or so of my life when diabetes and cancer struck. My purrants made the selfless decision that I deserved peace and comfort, thus...here I am with my view from the Bridge.
Always and forever in our hearts. Roscoe P. Bearcat 3/11/1989-7/06/2005
I made my journey to the Bridge. Mom put pansies on my grave yesterday and remembered her "Scooty". I am still alive in the love that lives in her heart.

BirdNote: How Feathers Insulate
| Download MP3
A single Canada Goose has between 20 and 25 thousand feathers. Some are designed to help the bird fly or shed water. Many are the short, fluffy kind, the down that insulates the bird from the cold. How do feathers keep birds warm? This week on BirdNote, we'll take a look at the insulating qualities of feathers.
Birds survive in sub-zero weather by fluffing their feathers, creating layers of air and feathers. Just a fraction of an inch of this insulation can keep a bird's body temperature at 104 degrees, even in freezing weather.

Game -Changer Down Coat
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Large
I've had many down coats, this one is a game changer. Incredibly light, equally warm. I can rock a tee-shirt under this coat in teens weather and be comfortable. The 20-denier ripstop shell is burlier than any of my other puffy's without adding weight. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
Thank you for the great review! The Flash XR is one of my favorites! Thank you so much for writing, and enjoy your Flash XR -
Western Mountaineering Rep
Function before fashion
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
If you're more concerned about your look than performance, get a north face or patagonia. If you're looking for one of the best midweight down puffys out there, this is it. The XR is waterproof and keeps the rain and snow from seeping into the down.
I've also got a mountain hardwear ghost whisperer. The Ghost Whisperer is super light, but not super warm. This thing is warmer than two ghost whisperers. My ghost whisperer is a medium, and I bought the medium flash XR. The WM fits bigger than the ghost whisperer, which is good. The MH was too restrictive.
I'm an ultralight backpacker, and every oz counts. I was tempted to go with the regular flash down jacket, but I thought it was worth the small weight penalty to have a waterproof barrier on it. I think it was well worth it.
It doesn't have logos plastered all over it, and there are definitely more stylish hoodys out there, but it doesn't look bad. The hood fits great but makes you look like an astronaut.
Great review Mike! Western does excel at the best and lightest weight down products.
Awesome Jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
Wow! This thing weighs nothing and has kept me warm through this polar vortex. Haven't had it out on trail yet but planning to wear it on next hike.
Western Mountaineering XR down jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Best puffer in the biz ! Got a medium in black and fits perfect. Packs up super small for bikepacking trips. Great addition to my WesternMountaineering highlite down bag for those chilly nights in the bivy !
quality craftsmanship, odd fit
This jacket is the most high quality of ultra light down I've tried, the construction and materials make this a very durable piece. However at 6'1, 180+lbs, 33.5'' sleeve, 32'' waist, and 40'' chest the medium was to short and tight at my waist. The Large is too baggy (pictured). Made in canada and designed in cali. The down backed zipper is not something you see in many other ultralites but makes the jacket like a true fortress in the cold. The fabric is tuff on the outside, quite weather proof. Inside has thinner fabric and lets you feel the loft of the down. The hood can give you a righteous cone head, the hood adjuster is pretty basic and doesnt help your look if your going for one but it's warm and wraps around your head. The nicest feature are the down backed pockets, down on both sides of your hand when you slide those in freezing is such a nice feeling. I wanted to love this jacket forever but the fit wasnt right and so im going with the cerium lt by arc teryx.
Made in Canada!
I bought this jacket because is best fitted than the MH Jackets and has European 850 down. I am a 5'5 132 pounds and got a SMALL size.
This jacket is great for layering and that is exactly what I was looking for. Also, the XR gives the jacket an extra water-resistant capacity, which I was able to test 2 weeks ago with a light rain. The hood is awesome as well, it's adjustable, very warm and I often use it with a Petzl Meteor III helmet for rock climbing.
Hopes this helped, thanks!
Excellent quality, warmth, and durability
In addition the what the description says about this product, I have found that western mountaineering is one of the very few companies out there that is true to their ratings, specs, and quality assurances. Being one of the best fitted down jacket by WM, the flash xr is by far the best down jacket on the market. Pricy it is, but unbeatable by performance and quality. Highly recommended.
Does anyone know the fill weight for this jacket? Thanks!
The down fill power is 850-fill.

Is this jacket noisy. I hunt so I was just wondering. If it isn't noisy can you make it in camo?
Hey MG,
Sorry, but this jacket is mostly geared for hiking/mountaineering which means that noise and camo is not really going to be taken into consideration upon construction. Not to mention this jacket is not going to have the durability that you'll need while stalking or bushwhacking through brush. It's made from a lightweight nylon and will most likely get hung up on thorns and branches. You'd be much better off going with a layering system from Cabelas made from wool or fleece. I also believe that Underarmour makes a line of garments for hunting. Hope this helps.
Hey MG - we get the colors directly from the manufacterer Western Mountaineering, so unfortunately we don't have much control over color choices. This would be a great layering piece for warmth if you wanted to put something with Camo print over the top of it! This is an incredibly warm jacket, so if you hunt in really frigid temps, I do think it would be appropriate if you wore it underneath something. Alexander is right though, it probably isn't quite durable enough to be worn as an outer layer while bushwacking.
I try to figure out which size I should...
I try to figure out which size I should get, M or LG. I am 5'11, 165, 40in chest and 33/34 in waist. Could anyone give me a hint from their experience with Western Mountaineering clothing? Cheers
Hi Walera. I purchased a SMALL and I am 5'5 132 pounds. If you are going to layer it you don't want it to be too loose.

What is the difference between the xr and the normal hooded flash? I tried the flash on today and then the montbell ul and the flash was longer and more fitted than the montbell. I am 6'6" 215 and the XL wast great. Maybe a half inch longer in the arms but no biggie
The XR has a highly water resistant outer fabric that makes it a better outerwear piece. The regular hooded has an ultralight outer fabric that allows it to be the most compressible, lightest down layer you'll ever need. The fit is near identical.

Hey why does the western mountaineering website list this jacket at 300 buckaroos and you guys are selling it for around 315.
Questions like this usually sit idle on the item page forever. I would recommend clicking on the gray "Chat Now" box on the upper right of the page to initiate a chat with a gear expert. They have immediate and real-time access to inventory, pricing, and order information. Hope that helps.
Hey Bobby, great catch. I am one of the reps for Western Mountaineering and the WM website is not accurate. The correct retail on this piece is $315. I will contact Western Mtng today and get that changed. $300 was Fall 2010 retail pricing, and I tell you, prices have gone UP! Backcountry.com is a totally above board retailer, and they have never done any price gouging... I have been working with them for 17 years! Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Bobby, the Western Mountaineering website is now accurate. So sorry for the confusion!

Sabah's recommendation
The Glenplaid Cami Dress features fine lace details with black trim; wrap a black cardigan or fitted jacket for a touch of formality, but go ahead and bare those shoulders for those after-work cocktails.
My Collections:
Sold! This dress is gorgeous. And I'm a big fan of clothes that you can transform from work into play. Pair this up with a black or patent clutch (Dolce makes a yummy one) and you're good to go for Thursday night Happy Hour in Midtown.
