...DRESS IN LAYERS The greatest danger is hypothermia, a condition in which the body's core temperature drops from 98.6şF to below 96şF. Sports doctors recommend that you wear an inner layer made of a material, such as polypropylene, that wicks away moisture so that your perspiration doesn't chill your body. (Don't use cotton, which retains moisture against the skin.) Choose something like fleece or wool for your middle, insulating layer, and make sure your outer layer protects against the wind...
...ramped up its textile production and reduced prices (igniting trade tension with the U.S.). Many of the cashmere garments, however, are not made wholly of the downy undercoat of the goat, where the fibers are long and fine. Occasionally these fibers get mixed with hairs from the outer layer, which are short and thick. This translates into less expensive sweaters, but also ones that are coarse and scratchy.

The finest product of the Minneapolis hip-hop scene, Brother Ali—with the help of reliable producer Ant—clears a nice path for his inevitable mainstream invasion...
...Jack paints a compassionate man whose very love for Jesus blinds him into eschewing familial relations for one that exists in the abstract, while Penn can be charming, sad and pitiful all in the same shot. Most impressive, however, is Watts as a bereaved mother, unrelentingly peeling back layer upon layer of unmentionable grief. Many of Watts’s best moments would’ve neared over-the-top drama in the hands of many other actresses, yet the camera’s unforgiving close-ups of her convincingly pain-distorted features aid in conveying a woman tinged...
