Bullock accidentally took wrong award

When Sandra Bullock took home the trophy for worst actress at this year’s RAZZIE Awards, she took home the wrong one.

Not the wrong award, mind you, but the wrong trophy. The Oscar winner picked up the original RAZZIE – the one founder John Wilson designed more than 25 years ago – instead of the cheap replica (value: about $5) usually given to winners.

The RAZZIE committee has tried to contact Bullock’s publicist several times in hopes of “graciously exchanging” the two statues, according to Wilson. It has not heard back.

“It’s really more about sentiment than anything else,” Wilson said.

The RAZZIE head is upset that readers on several stories are saying his group is doing this solely for the publicity. He says he mentioned the statue offhandedly to a reporter for Moviefone.com, but never spoke to the UK’s Telegraph as reported or meant to make this a public incident.

“We weren’t about to come at her when she’s in such a publicly painful place,” Wilson said. “I hardly think the RAZZIE awards should be any kind of priority in her life right now.”

I like this windshell jacket

The Fit of my favorite gear

The acr'teryx shirts fit is a very good, active cut – shorter body with a drop seat, for use with a harness – and I had no complaints. I have read in other quarters that the neck can be slightly narrow for the well built, and thus a bit tight, however I encountered no such problem. Overall adjustment is good and effective without being over the top. The hood of this arc'teryx is also well fitting, has a wired peak, is easy to adjust, and works very well with a helmet.

Performance
As well as the UK, I have used the Neutrino throughout winter in the Utah/Texan desert, California’s High Sierra’s, and also in Alpine winter and summer conditions. As with all down arc'teryx jackets, the warmth of the garment is reliant, in part, on relative air moisture. In cold dry conditions the arc'teryx men's waterproof jacket is supremely warm, and as stated above, will be sufficient in all but the most extreme conditions. From new, the arc'teryx women's waterproof jacket is also pretty water resistant, and will take the brunt of even harshest downpours, with no lasting effects. However with time, and more specifically usage, the Pertex’s DWR treatment will deteriorate/wear off and with it the water resilience of the arc'teryx windshells will start to falter.

Summery
A great down arc'treyx pants for most activities, due to its lightweight and packable nature, great fit, good features and smart look - the people’s champion!

They did not use the similar products used:

Abstract:
I bought this arc'teryx jacket, and was so happy that I decided to buy another for my wife. The

jacket can be used in many occasions for hiking, around the city when
cold and rain could, under a system of stratification. It 'hard enough for most outside of continuous use
climbing. The fit is very good and looks good enough to take office on Friday.
Only criticism is that it is not hot enough for the static conditions, although I suppose that is not what this jacket is intended.
Customer Service:
I bought a Arc'Teryx shirt for my wife in the right size and try to change: their response was impossible to go back to the store that sold it to you: I said I bought the jacket during a business trip to Japan and
I'm not going to be back and would not trade.

Snow in Yorkshire Ingleborough views Overall

Like most of spats at the end with Arc'Teryx Jackets a hook Velcro tabs to secure the gaiters boot laces. The stylish, snug fit means that the hooks do not extend Down lace. This was one of the few characteristics I do not like leggings that, although this aspect of the design is consistent with ice climbing gaiters specific adaptations, I felt further part of the arc'teryx boot (that cling lower curves) would result in a more secure fit in the front of the shoe.

Snow in Yorkshire Ingleborough views Overall, well thought out, as the technique of the bellows is really good designed with mountaineering in the winter mind. I was very impressed by these gaiters that I will certainly those of the rest winter, when climbing. Although the arc'teryx shirts, (GTX) gaiters are not intended as a slap on foot, I found that carried out adequate, but perhaps not as a bellows more general purpose.
Due to the nature of leggings comfortable, I'll probably wear arc'treyx pants
when breaking up and walking as well.

This great jacket

it's a lot of fun when I do not wear a helmet. Despite attempts

As always, I love cooking for the most basic needs:

Your Own Advice

Every once in a while, we actually follow our own advice. Deciding on the spur of the moment to spend a night in San Francisco a few weeks ago, I turned to our seven-step process for getting the lowest rates on Priceline, making the reservation just one day ahead of time.

I ended up in the Parc 55, an arc'teryx that usually costs almost $200 and is currently offering special non-refundable rates of $137 for a mere $79. Buying in San Francisco always adds to the total cost of an tig, but even so, we stayed in a four-star hotel for the price of a budget establishment.
