MiraCosta College Student Takes Award in Costume Design
A MiraCosta College theatre student has captured an award as top costume designer in a region that includes much of the Western United States. Now she is headed to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., as a national finalist.
Hannah Dohrer is an acting student who served as a costume designer for the first time when the MiraCosta College Theatre Department produced `Oedipus the King' last year. Her work earned the prestigious Costume Design Award at the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival Feb. 17 at the Los Angeles Theatre Center in downtown Los Angeles.
"I was extremely shocked," said Dohrer, 19. "It is an incredible honor."
Dohrer won top honors in a region including Central and Southern California, along with Arizona, Utah, Hawaii, and Southern Nevada.
Dohrer has been acting since she appeared in a production of Treasure Island at Oak Crest Middle School in Encinitas when she was 11. Upon graduating from San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas, Dohrer enrolled at MiraCosta College and took part in several Theatre Department productions. Last year, she was asked to help out with the costume design for a production of Henry IV.
"I kind of became the person that everyone went to for help in building their costume," she said. "I think they saw my potential, and they offered to have me costume `Oedipus.'"
Dohrer had never previously sewn an outfit together, but she soon went to work and met with the director to "come up with the kind of vision you want to create through the costumes."
She had plenty of help along the way from Alina Bokovikova, a costume designer at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, and technical director Andrew Layton.
"It is quite unusual and an honor to receive such an award for your first production," Bokovikova said. "But, for her it was to be expected, she worked to her restrictions, and made the most out of it. She knew what she had to do, and worked with the manager perfectly. Since she is new, she has her own style that has not
been influenced deeply by others. She thinks outside of the box, sometimes not even knowing this box exists. And I wish for her to keep this unique creative nature of hers as long as possible."
Dohrer said about 90 percent of the 30 or so costumes used in the play were made from scratch. "You pull out a basic piece and build over it," she said. "You just have to take a risk and hope that it comes together."
Said Bokovikova: "Costume design for this show was a combination of period silhouette and modern material choice, with emphasis on diversity of cultural background of characters and actors who are on stage. It is an old story told in contemporary costume language, and the designer's goal is to support the telling of the story, but not to be overwhelming. I think Hannah really succeeded in it."
Dohrer plans to stay at MiraCosta College for another year, in part because of its Theatre Department. She hopes to earn a degree from a four-year university before ultimately opening a theatre group for physically and mentally disabled children.
"I feel like they are given so many fewer opportunities and many of them have a great imagination," Dohrer said. "I would like to give them an opportunity to help express that imagination."
She believes her experience as a costume designer will be invaluable in reaching her dream of establishing a theatre group. "It has taught me a lot about the process of creating something from scratch," Dohrer said.
Dohrer, who also played the female lead in Oedipus as Joscasta, was not the only MiraCosta College student to be honored at the Los Angeles ceremony. Miranda LeRae and Carly Dellinger made the semi-final round in the Irene Ryan Acting competition. Kayti Bulfinch won the Newbie Stage Management Award, and Bryan Taylor won a full dance scholarship to CSU Summer Arts this summer in Monterey.

A legal concept from early English property law that continues to influence certain concepts in the modern law of real property and is thus helpful and, at times, essential to understanding this area of the law. In brief, the term refers to the possession of land. However, the nature of this possession is a complex matter deserving a full academic explanation. In early English property law, a landholder was considered "seised of" his estate- an idea which somewhat overlaps with the modern meaning of ownership- but differs in a number of respects. Seisin was passed through a ceremony known as "livery of seisin".

Wired for War |
The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century What happens when science fiction becomes battlefield reality? Wired for War takes the reader on a journey to meet all the various players in this strange new world of war: odd-ball roboticists working in latter-day "skunk works" in the midst of suburbia; military pilots flying combat mission from their office cubicles outside Las Vegas; the Iraqi insurgents who are their targets; journalists trying to figure out just how to cover robots at war; and human rights activists wrestling with what is right and wrong in a world where our wars are increasingly being handed over to machines. If issues like these sound like science fiction, that's because many of the new technologies were actually inspired by some of the great sci-fi of our time from Terminator and Star Trek to the works of Asimov and Heinlein. In fact, Singer reveals how the people who develop new technologies consciously draw on such sci-fiction when pitching them to the Pentagon, and he even introduces the sci-fi authors who quietly consult for the military. |

If you listen as a fighter jet flies overhead at subsonic speed, you can hear the roar from the jet engines and even the turbulence over its body as it passes through the air. Because the fighter is traveling slower than the speed of sound, all of that raw sound reaches your ears ahead of the fighter. As the jet speeds up and goes "transonic" (the realm of speed very near the speed of sound), sound waves and the air around the airplane start to "pile up" in front of the fighter. The forces pulling the air around the fast-moving jet at this point are comparable to the actual air pressure around it, creating more drag and more turbulence than in deeply subsonic flight, with noise levels increasing many decibels above what they would be at, say, two-thirds the speed of sound.
Once our theoretical fighter jet reaches the speed of sound, its bow wave of pressure becomes a shock wave — the disturbance from air passing over the wings and around the fighter's body travels faster than sound itself. At this point, new air that comes in contact with the fighter receives no physical information about the jet's arrival until the shock wave passes over it. Behind this shock wave is air that is traveling with the jet. Sound waves travel forward and backward along the shock. A good fraction of this sound energy from the airplane arrives at our ears pretty much all at once, making the "snap-boom" sound we hear.
Taming the Sonic Boom
For readily understandable reasons, international governing bodies prohibit aircraft from traveling at supersonic speed over populated landmasses. But what if technology could mitigate the sound from an airplane traveling above Mach 1 by essentially turning down the volume of a sonic boom? If we're ever going to realize the benefits of flying people and cargo over land at super-fast speeds, that's exactly what today's research needs to accomplish, experts say.
How do we get there? One leading concept centers on the idea of attaching a long spike to the nose of our supersonic airplane; the spike is intended to keep the shock being created at the front of the aircraft separate from the shock at the rear so they don't combine to create a big boom. The thinking is that smaller booms will weaken as they travel down to the ground, and if the airplane is flying high enough, by the time these small booms reach the ground, they'll sound like almost nothing at all.
Study into quieting sonic booms started in earnest at NASA about 15 years ago. The first practical demonstrations of boom-mitigating technology occurred during test flights of a Northrup F-5E with a modified nose and belly that some say gave the airplane the shape of a duck. NASA and Northrup Grumman measured about 1,300 recordings during the so-called shaped-sonic-boom demonstration program in 2003, with encouraging results — the quirky shape of the customized F-5 cut its boom by about a third.
More recently, Gulfstream partnered with NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center in California to test a concept known as the "Quiet Spike." The project centered on testing a telescoping, 24-foot, lance-like spike mounted in the nose of a NASA F-15B research test airplane. The composite spike was designed to create three small shock waves that would travel parallel to each other all the way to the surface, thereby producing less noise than the typical shock waves that build up at the nose of a supersonic airplane.

After a 249 million dollar stimulus grant from the federal government you think electric -- battery maker -- one Q3 systems would be.
In great financial shape so then why -- -- being dubbed the next cylinder accurate away and -- it fell for the national legal and policy center and Robert -- a senior fellow for the Manhattan institute Robert let's start with you.
What in the heck is strong with this company I mean you look at this got all kinds of federal -- and losses red -- for days why it is such a failure -- Well I mean the short business answer Jerry is that there are their losses are growing faster than their revenues and they're depending.
But -- business case.
But they're depending on the electric vehicle sector for their future and as could've been predicted easily had the Obama administration look closely at the history of the electric vehicle business the market is not developing the -- and customers -- are staying away in droves.
-- and it's not been popular with consumers Paul to bring UN I wanna talk about this battery explosion with they went to three.
Coming into the hospital what it's actually happen there.
Well details aren't there's just only a few details but we knows -- -- they want you -- these batteries they've got the contract wins GM to.
Provide the -- for this next coming vehicle business spark which is gonna followed the vault which is not been selling very well as Robert said.
But the the timing on this is amazing.
This came the same day that.
The Department of Energy announced they would extend a -- Q3 for two more years -- two more years to spend down the grant money which is just.
-- the timing on this is mind.
-- while that had his mind blowing -- Robert yield you know -- this isn't the only failed Green company of beacon power range fuels that are wind you name that it's there.
-- -- -- what's the take away here.
Well I think the it's clear that with all these grants and all these loans the Obama administration has been in the business.
Of trying to pick technology winners and that's not the role of government.
I'm for the government trying to do basic research -- or R&D and in energy.
Issues energy technologies but what we've seen with this Obama administration has a lot of trying to pick winners and they've they've been taking very badly.
And you say it picking winners in the electric vehicle industry in particular is a big mistake.
-- to -- we had 2.4 billion in grants dished out.
And what do we have to show for.
-- we have a lot of mistakes we've got the DED companies like -- error in a one Q3 and Ener1.
You know this pay one Q3 company looks a lot like general one which is already filed bankruptcy.
In that they were both each dependent on a small.
Electric vehicle company.
That went that are struggling or or went down.
And so anyone Q3 is in a similar situation -- was.
So it's insists a bad judgment it's hard to understand -- the Department of Energy is doing.
They cut off sister that sister was a one.
But they yet they extended a one Q3 it makes absolutely no.
-- -- crazy RE IE it you know you look at this.
Robert and you say listen to their rhetoric which is essentially.
You know electric cars -- they're gonna be the biggest thing since sliced Brad it's coming it's coming it's coming let's invest early.
So that we have a technology on hand and -- can lead in the industry what's wrong with that.
Jury that they history of the electric cars a century of failure tailgating failure.
We've seen this we've heard this before that -- just a few years electric cars are going to be viable if only oil prices are high and have batteries are are are are good enough.
We've heard this since the early nineteen hundreds there's nothing new here electric cars -- the next big thing and they always will be.
I know you have to say that and they've been around for how long what was the first year that somebody -- hey let's build an all electric car.
Remember Thomas Edison was it was -- thought that there was a future electric cars and then Ford developed a good -- reliable internal combustion engine and Edison immediately said.
You know I don't think this is gonna work -- that that they're the range is too small.
The right just to bid is not sufficient.
And gasoline is is is that going to be the vehicle of the -- gasoline and then oil fueled.
Cars are going to be the vehicles of the future he's been proven exactly right.
Paul -- it what are they did technical impediments to these actually becoming something that.
The average American would want to buy -- would actually benefit from -- Bob Roberts might be a little better to answer that question.
That -- that he's right it's been around for a hundred years you -- on line on you to -- you can look it up but Jay -- electric vehicle.
They'll show you in and it did demonstrate you that this technology -- been around a hundred years and it's no different now than it was then.
They take too long to charge they take at least thirty minutes did you get the real fast charger which are hard to find.
They cost a lot up front as we've seen with the vol in the Nissan leaf.
And that they're just they don't go far enough they don't even they don't go even a hundred miles yet.
You know largely could go either the adults you know -- -- with all the development of the other energy sources for it just seems bizarre to me.
To be you know continuing down this failed path that you guys so rightly put it thanks for coming -- -- -- Robert appreciate your time.

For Pregnant Women, Some 'Hazards' Are Part Myth
Expecting moms don't need to panic about coffee, X-rays, or other overblown no-no's
From albacore to X-rays, there's no shortage of supposed dangers that pregnant women are often warned to avoid. But not everything is as dangerous as people might think. "There is a lot of mythology surrounding pregnancy," says Michael Katz, acting director of the March of Dimes. He and other experts share proven tips for minimizing the risk of birth defects and other pregnancy-related problems. Here, however, are some things women are commonly warned against—and the reassuring facts behind the conventional wisdom.
Caffeine: Coffee was long considered taboo during pregnancy, but most doctors now say that it's not so bad if consumed in reasonable quantities. Up to 300 milligrams of caffeine a day is OK, and it's not even clear that more than that is dangerous, says Michael Greene, a Harvard professor and spokesperson for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. A 16-ounce latte from Starbucks contains 150mg of caffeine, and a can of Coca-Cola has 23mg.
Fish: Some species contain contaminants such as mercury and PCBs that can affect a growing fetus. But fish also contains healthful fats that aid in brain development. "Women should not be afraid to consume fish, but, just like everything else, they should do it in moderation," says Karen Filkins, a retired obstetrician-gynecologist and clinical geneticist whose expertise is on birth defects. Experts recommend that women choose types of fish that tend to be low in mercury, like salmon, and avoid eating large species like shark and swordfish that can harbor higher levels of the toxic metal. The FDA recommends that women limit fish consumption to 12 ounces a week during pregnancy.
Raw Fish: Although the FDA recommends that women avoid raw fish because it may contain parasites and bacteria, some experts maintain that pregnant women don't have to give it up. "Food poisoning can occur anywhere, with any type of food," says Filkins, noting a recent E. coli outbreak linked to spinach. Furthermore, "there's a mistaken notion that eating raw fish is dangerous because it causes toxoplasmosis," says Katz. "It definitely does not." The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that women avoid raw shellfish, however. And Filkins says that pregnancy is probably not the time to be trying new foods. "If you've been consuming sashimi, and you've had no problems," she says, it's probably OK to keep it in your diet.
Soft Cheese: Many women have heard that soft cheeses such as goat cheese and brie can be sources of a dangerous microbe called Listeria. But a soft cheese is safe to eat as long as it has been pasteurized, according to the FDA. And although unpasteurized dairy products have surged in popularity recently, most cheeses produced in the United States, including domestic brie, are still pasteurized. Listeria can also grow in packaged lunch meats and hot dogs, so experts recommend that women avoid those foods—or heat them until they're steaming.
Exercise: It used to be that doctors cautioned women against working out during pregnancy, but now it's agreed that moderate exercise is an important part of maintaining maternal—and fetal—health. The CDC recommends that expecting mothers stick to moderate forms of exercise, like swimming and yoga, and it advises checking with a doctor first.
Cats: Exposure to cats has been linked to toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that in infants can cause cerebral palsy, deafness, and blindness. But pregnant women don't have to get rid of their housecat, experts say. Instead, they should avoid contact with cat feces—let another family member clean the litter box—and wash their hands after petting a cat. Cats that never venture outdoors aren't likely to pick up the parasite, adds Filkins. And since toxoplasmosis is treatable, if a woman thinks she might have been exposed, she can get tested and, if necessary, treated.
X-rays: Although medical radiation can be dangerous to a fetus, doctors say the concern has been overblown. Greene says: "In truth, there is no diagnostic X-ray that will damage a pregnancy.&" The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American College of Radiology agree that no single diagnostic X-ray procedure presents a significant risk to a developing fetus. Radiation treatments for cancer are another story, however, and should be discussed with a doctor.

Web Application with C++ and FastCGI
The free library Fastcgi++ Version 1.0, which enables the programming of web applications in C++ language, is now available.
Originally a C++ alternative to the official FastCGI developers kit, the Fastcgi++ library has since developed into a framework offering all the C++ facilities. The library in Version 1.0 uses the web interface FastCGI, and has no support for the old CGI protocol.
According to the developers, the library impresses with efficient memory management and CPU usage. Session data is organized into relevant data types and internationalization and Unicode support are also featured.
Fastcgi++ 1.0 is licensed under LGPLv3 and the software as source text Tarball, together with API-documentation, is ready for download.

The staff for the most part in all other areas are very friendly and helpfull but the maid service leaves something to be desired. We had returned to our room a few days where the toilet, sink and bath tub/shower in the bathroom […] were not cleaned properly.

Honestly a Glock may be the way to go in a 9mm they are extremely easy to shoot, and for first time shooters that's a big thing if you want to get them into shooting. I love my Glock easy to shoot simple to take a part and clean and extremely easy to carry, I forget I have it on me a lot of times just because it's so light.

Grandma's Cornbread Made Vegan
1/4 cup water
3 teaspoons Ener-G Egg Replacer
1 cup organic corn meal
1 cup unbleached flour
1/2 cup sugar or sugar substitute*
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup rice or soy milk
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. In a measuring cup, mix water and Ener-G Egg Replacer until there are no white lumps or residue. Put to one side.
3. In bowl, combine dry ingredients (corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt). Mix in nondairy milk, oil, and then egg replacer; mix well.
4. Pour batter into greased baking pan. (I use a medium cast iron skillet for my vegan cornbread and cakes, but be creative)
5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until you can poke the center with a toothpick and it comes out clean. Slice and enjoy.
* If you use a vegan sugar substitute, note that not all subs are 1:1.
Made this recipe today & had some problems :-( First of all, it was very crumbly. that's really the main issue. It was also way way too sweet for us, so next time I will lessen the sugar. If I lessen the sugar do I need to adjust anything else? What will help with the crumbly problem?
This was superb! Everyone loved it. I just need to make more next time. Seems like there is never enough!
Definitely the best vegan cornbread out there, and I've tried a lot of them. I'm not kidding, try this one.
Definitely the best vegan cornbread out there, and I've tried a lot of them. I'm not kidding, try this one.
This is by far the best cornbread recipe I have tried, EVER! I prepared it exactly as written and the texture is perfect and the flavor is amazing! I am confident, I'll have to make another one, this will not make it to dinner! My picky 8 year old just tasted it and said it was the best! This is going in my file as a winner! :-)
Yum! I haven't had corn bread in years, this hit the spot. The only modification I made was using half whole wheat flour. I split the recipe in half and it filled 6 muffin tins. Next time I will only do a 1/4 as it's dangerous to have that much left over!
This is the best corn bread I've ever made ...it reminds me when I was in elementry and would always trade my milk for the corn bread...ill feel like a kid again. ;) thanks for posting.
Mmmmmmmmmmmh!! Yummy, yummy, yummy! Every cornbread recipe I've tried to make before this has turned out mediocre at best. THIS ONE IS AWESOME!!! I had to practice some serious self restrain to stop eating it & wait for the rest of my fam for dinner! THANK YOU!!
I was liberal with the sugar, and sloppy with measurements, and sprinkled some extra sugar on top. I don't have a cast-iron skillet yet, so I used my 8X8 square pan, and it was cooked perfectly after 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
Perhaps a downfall of every other cornbread attempt of mine is that I overcook it. This time I wasn't taking the chance, and after probably less than 5 min out of the oven, I cooled the bread on a wire-rack just like any other cake.
(Oh yeah, and I didn't have a full cup of Rice-milk left, so I used some water & it still kills! I also used Canola Oil instead of Veggie.) :)

PHOTOS: The 10 Worst Dressed Guests At The Emmy Awards
Nothing makes us happier than seeing a group of famous, beautiful people looking fabulous. But we can't lie: we get a secret pleasure from seeing them look awful, too! And at the Emmy Awards last night, there was no shortage of awful looking ensembles. From dresses that were way too short and tight to printed fabrics that looked like something you could only see in a kaleidoscope, this year's worst-dress list looks as bad as the best-dressed list looks good.

2008 Real Estate Rule #1
Forget about New Year's Resolutions. Start thinking about new rules of real estate instead. Resolutions are something "you' can think up - and FORGET about - at your discretion. But real estate rules are like laws of physics: You can try to "forget" about gravity - but one step off the roof and you'll be quickly reminded. So here's Real Estate Rule #1 for 2008: Implement more tools than you purchase. It's easy to buy new products and services but it's only helpful if you put them fully into action. Even the fanciest tool is useless, if it's left unused. The best part about this rule is that it reminds you that you have ALREADY purchased lots of stuff - web sites, tech toys, marketing tools - that remain largely unused. Before buying anything new this year, look around at the tools you already have and make sure you're getting the absolute best results from them you can - because you're already paying for them. The 'implement more than you buy' rule is critical. It represents the first step in modernizing the way you approach real estate. Whether you're a broker or an agent, the market is too tight to accommodate "just getting by" with your investments. The 'implement' rule reminds us that it's not about secret tools, special software, or proprietary advantages over the competition that matter. What matters most is how well, how thorough, and how completely you implement the stuff you already have at your disposal. If you look back a year at this very newsletter you'll find advice to give up on "silver bullets" as your operational strategy. That advice has become more vital than ever - to a point at which too many brokers are really facing a "distinction or extinction" moment in their practice. Either they will act this year to implement their tools with distinction, and finally dispose of bad habits, or they'll join the rest of the 25% of the marketplace that downsized itself last year (note that most people left the business due to their own inability to practice not being put out of the business by some better-practicing competitor). Rule #1 is easy to understand; difficult to implement; fundamental to adopt. Make this year the one in which you do more, talk less and close the "knowing - doing" gap. Happy New Year!

Welcome to the 2013 Stashbusting Thread. I am Gonesewin and I will be starting a new thread for each month for everyone to post pictures (If at all possible) or tell about your stashbusting efforts. It does NOT have to be quilting! This can be any kind of Quilting & Needlework! There are just 2 "rules" to join us: what you make make should be mostly from stash and it should be finished during the month you post it as finished - please don't post things you made otherwise - sew & tell would be a more appropriate thread to share those projects. There are no signups, or swapping or... Just this thread. Everyone is welcome! As an incentive -or as a reward- cksvett has graciously agreed to give a prize to someone who completes a stashbuster each month if her name is drawn. Let's all be sure to thank her! SEW, let the stashbusting continue!

This is the matching pillowcase with the other block I didn't use for the top. Some how I never figured out how the Koala fit in with the rest of the 5 blocks? Here frame & block are the stash... Chris | ||||
Here is the backing, binding and other pillowcase. Just the darker binding is new... Chris | ||||
Did a few mug rugs yesterday afternoon for our card party today. Friend painted some mugs to go with them, coming out of the kiln this morning. Also did the monthly BOM block. | ||||

I did my BOM this month all out of stash, but I also completed a UFO that should actually count as 2 times stash The fabrics used in this table runner were given to me about 3 years ago from my MIL stash, and the back is from my stash...

.. I have contributions ... of stash anyway. Myneighbor is my grandsons math tutor, and refuses anykind of payment - andyou all probablyhae a clue at what THAT can cost .. so when she wanted to make somemugrugs awhile back - I dragged her over here and opened the stash cupboard .. OOOOHH she says .. and she had fun learning to make some mugrugs.... well she needed some more for a family get together this c oming week in another state - and back in my stash I may get to buy some fabric this year!! woohoo So here we go .. the first one is she with a potato micro bag she did .. it's purple and teal with butterflies and has the right kind of batting, I got it at Joanns with a coupon I cannot change 'things', but I can change how I feel about them. Me. Wounded Warrior Project www.woundedwarriorproject.org | ||||
... and here are her mugrugs ... hope you can see them, I drew stars on them so they would all have a kind of patriotic feel, and she stitched them all very caefully. BTW - she also quilted the fabric for that bag ... I enjoy teaching - and I especially enjoy it when someone is having such a good time .. and she just kept smiling. ..this is not good I will try again ...well would dyou take my word for? theyare simple but verynice - she did a great job and her family are not only going to be surprised that she made them, they will be pleased.This message has been edited.

How cool that you have a crafty friend to inspire each other! SS - very pretty two-fer, haha. I agree, knocking out a UFO should count double, haha Mountain Laurel - the pink and brown is stunning! It's so cool how it forms the little 4-patch corners, nice job! GPat - how pretty! I can't wrap my mind around the pattern but I'm a sucker for scrappy on white, it's gorgeous! Gonesewin - That's an awesome sampler! how in the world did you think of mixing all those blocks? They look great together! WQfC - I love the mix of fabrics & shapes in your heart quilt! Handie - your bird quilt is awesome! Nice work on the birds! Pat - that's TWO beautiful quilts! do you mind if I copy it & pretend I might make it one day, lol? it's gorgeous! city/sandie - it's very sweet of you to bring along a new quilter. or maybe it's just really smart, now you'll have a quilting buddy right next door, how awesome will that be? but you might never get any work done around the house, lol. | ||||

Here's a scrappy baby quilt I made to use up some of my 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" bricks that are overflowing their shoebox! I can't remember where I found this pattern. Got it all quilted and ready to give to a couple from church who are having a baby girl in a few weeks. Photo isn't great but I'm pleased with the FMQ I did.

Wonderful Winter Coat
December 13, 2011
I bought this coat for my husband and he just loves it! We live in Minnesota and he takes the bus to work so he stands out in the cold for a while. This keeps him nice and warm. It is pricey, but a great investment considering it's about 2x the price of a similar North Face product, but with much, much higher quality. No worries with down coming through the fabric - it is so durable - it's coated and waterproof. There are wonderful details like soft leather along the zipper placket and pocket flap. It is slimmer than most other coats my husband tried on, which is great for him. It's more of an "athletic, slim fit" - so keep this in mind. Highly recommend
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Ease of use, Lasts forever, PerformanceGreat coat
December 27, 2012
This coat is near perfect. It is very warm, slim-cut, handsome, durable, waterproof, and extends to mid-thigh. The only things I don't like are: 1. The lack of hand pockets on the outside and one or two more zippered pockets on the inside. 2. The neck coverage is problematic. The zipper doesn't extend up to cover the neck. Instead it requires a couple of snaps on an extension of the hood. It's nice because it's easier to wear a scarf without choking yourself, but on days without a scarf it's drafty. 3. The price tag. All the same, I would highly recommend this jacket. I look forward to being toasty warm all winter.

April 27, 2012
I had bought for me to wear. Chest and arm, which is much larger However, much longer length clothing. My key is 170cm. Large-size clothes for my height and long. It is bad. Bought black. The North Face jackets and similar to the maekmeodok. Maekmeodok softer than the one thousand and two. However, the thickness of the thin and light weight. Warmth is not known. I will come back to try on in the winter.

best winter gear for a commuter
November 10, 2012
This Canada Goose Banff Parka is the best item for a regular commuter during heavy winter season. It fits true to size perfectly because it's a slim-cut. I was having hard to deciding this vs. Expedition style, but I'm now happy with this item because this is more fitting and stylish than Expedition. It's durable and not extremely heavy and generic so that you can wear it with compatible styling. I strongly recommend this style and Canada Goose items because of overall qualify and warmth.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Cons: CostGreat Jacket
September 28, 2012
I have bought this jacket last winter and plan on buying another for my father. This down jacket keeps you very warm in Minnesota harsh winters and looks very stylish. This jacket is fitted so you may want to order a size up from what you usually buy and this based on my height of 6'2" and weight of 195 lbs. This is a great jacket at a great price.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Great valuegreat and long lasting

light weight, slim fit, durable for bad weather, very long lasting style which can last for years and years! Perfect choose for great quality!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance, Ease of use, Cons: CostBEST WINTER WEAR!!!
December 27, 2012
I bought canada goose for myself first and I loved it. So I bought this parka for my husband, and he really loves it!!! very high quality and comfortable. and the package arrived much faster than we expected, =) his weight is around 160 and wears 32 pants, and medium size fits right. It looks little bit bulky at first, but it's winter jacket so any winter parka will look the same. And small would be tight if he wears winter clothes inside. It is a bit pricy, and worth every penny. I recommend this brand to everyone!

Great Jacket - fit is a little diff from other CG
November 27, 2010
This is a great jacket. The build quality is extremely high with great attention to detail. It also is EXTREMELY warm - you will not be cold in this jacket. The only thing to be aware of with this jacket is that the fit is a little smaller than other CG products. I tried on an expedition in a local store and the M was too big. I know that the Banff is cut a little slimmer so I thought that the M would be perfect - however, it turns out it is a little small and I am going to have to move up to the L. Overall a great coat, but just be aware of the sizing if you are trying locally but buying online.

Warm and fitted
March 07, 2011
Bought this for my college son---warm and comfortable fits perfectly for a slender tall guy appropriately sized. WArm in cold weather but without the hood is still comfortable not heavy for a cool day. highly recommend this jacket.

Canada Goose Chateau Parka
March 21, 2013
The best coat I have ever owned by a long shot. I ordered a large size (I am a size 40 in a sport coat) thinking that it would accommodate layering, which it does, but so far layering seems to be unnecessary. The coat is very warm and very well constructed.
High Quality Product
May 02, 2012
I had to replace a stolen Mountain Hardware parka; purchased (and returned) parkas from North Face, Patagonia, and Mountain Hardware- the "parkas" from these big 3 were either cut like a snow boarding jacket (way too baggy- baggy fit not good for keeping you warm), unattractive, or the jacket seemed like it was subjected to aggressive cost cutting by the accounting dept.). Specifically, my previous jacket was the Mountain Hardware Downtown Parka and the current version of the Downtown seems to have a lot less down in the sleeves and the jacket fabric is no longer Conduit (very tough and water repellent) but instead a cheaper looking/feeling material. In any case, the quality of the Canada Goose product is evident the moment you take it out of the bag and overall is very attractive. The zippers and buttons are very heavy duty. The jacket itself is no more bulky than other parkas. I'm 6'1", 155 lbs., and the large fits me best (the fit is slim cut). The Banff Parka is very stylish but in so doing, the zipper stops at the throat level. For super cold days, if you want something that zips all the way to your chin, pick another jacket from their line. Overall I would recommend this product very highly despite the price tag.

The Splinter, A Wooden Supercar that's Faster than a Porsche
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Green
Think "wooden car" and images of an old-fashioned toy or model car are more likely to pop into your head than a real-life sleek fast supercar. The Splinter, however, is changing that by not only being a sportscar made of wood that's stylish and sleek but also by being fast -- faster than a Porsche or a Lamborghini.
It's fast partly because of the goodies under the hood and partly because it's just so much lighter than its steel and metal counterparts. Built of a combination of maple, plywood, and MDF it can turn out 700bhp and has a top speed of 240mph. Not too shabby.
There's no price set for this wooden beauty just yet, or color options (I say if you're going to buy a wooden car then don't hide it with a paint job at all), but look for more info as the car is scheduled for release later this year.
