Heart of city center and with a sweet bar in the lobby, this place is super loud with a party atmosphere, it is an awesome hostel and exactly what we were looking for. Do not stay here if you're looking to get a good sleep each night. Staff was very helpful.

His bundle electrography is a test that measures electrical activity in a part of the heart that carries the signals that control the time between heartbeats (contractions).
His bundle electrogram; HBE; His bundle recording; Electrogram - His bundle
The bundle of His is a group of fibers that carry electrical impulses through the center of the heart. If these signals are blocked, you will have problems with your heartbeat.
The His bundle electrography is part of an electrophysiology
(EP) study. You are given a mild sedative before the test. An intravenous
catheter (IV line) is inserted into your arm so that you can be given medicines during the test.
(ECG) leads are placed on your arms and legs. Your arm, neck, or groin will be cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic. After the area is numb, the cardiologist makes a small cut in a vein and inserts a thin tube called a catheter inside.
The catheter is carefully moved through the vein up into the heart. An x-ray
method called fluoroscopy helps guide the doctor to the right place. During the test, your heartbeat is watched for any arrhythmias
. The catheter has a sensor on the end, which is used to measure the electrical activity of the bundle of His.
You will be told not to eat or drink anything for 6 to 8 hours before the test. The test will be done in a hospital. Some patients may need to check into the hospital the night before the test. Otherwise, you check in the morning of the test.
Your health care provider will explain the procedure and its risks. You must sign a consent form before the test starts.
About half an hour before the procedure, you will be given a mild sedative to help you relax. You will wear a hospital gown. The procedure may last from 1 to several hours.
You are awake during the test. You may feel some discomfort when the IV is placed into your arm, and some pressure at the site when the catheter is inserted.
This test may be done to:
The time between electrical signals from the bundle of His are evenly spaced.
A pacemaker will be needed if the test results are abnormal.
Abnormal results may mean you have or had:
Risks of the procedure include:

After four long days, some people on the city's east side are still without power Wednesday.
The residents of the Colony apartments have been without electricity, air conditioning and hot water since storms knocked out power on Saturday, says FOX 2's Roop Raj.
DTE officials tell Raj the reason the complex has been low on the list of restoring power is because it is considered one customer since the landlord personally pays the building's total bill.
Residents tell Raj that have a hard time with the policy since there are over 300 people living in the building.
Click the video player to hear more from the weary residents who are expected to get some needed relief soon.

DROG is looking for engaged residents who may have been involved in local or station area planning projects and/or community leaders that work or do business in the corridor. If you are interested in serving on the committee, please complete an application by Wednesday, May 22. Contact Ashley Kaade at email@example.com or 303-480-6781 for more information.

It's a Crawly Crawloween!
October 20, 2011 | Tag(s): Crawloween, Family Halloween, fun kids events, Insectarium, non scary Halloween
By: L'jeanne, Advertising Manager
Your kids are for sure excited about all the Halloween activities coming up like Boo at the Zoo this weekend and next and I've got another crawly critter Halloween event that they will certainly enjoy! Crawloween is happening at Audubon Insectarium on Saturday, October 29th and Sunday October 30th. Dress the kids up in their Halloween costumes and join us along with some six-legged friends. We'll have trick-or-treating stations all around the Insectarium and we've dressed up the place in some fabulous Halloween decorations that are buggy. There will be naturalists on hand to explain and debunk myths about some of the most notorious tales about bugs. It's quite possible that the story told by your 'ole Ma Mae' was just a story to scare you straight! If you want to know for sure, join us at Crawloween and ask all the questions you like. Our staff is eager to answer. We've also got a craft station where you can make your own bug themed crafts to take home. Make them look as sweet or scary as you like. I'm guessing your kids will want to make the creepiest crafts this Crawloween. Be sure to check out all the exhibits while you're there, and make a bet with your little critter to eat a treat in Bug Appétit! Go into the theater to see the spine tickling awards show, but I must warn you… watch out for the stink bug! Also check out the awe of metamorphosis, you can see all the stages a butterfly goes through and how it emerges from its chrysalis. Make this Halloween fun and filled with educational information for the kids at Crawloween at the Insectarium. They'll be so entertained with it all you'll have to make more than one visit!
Info: ~ Crawloween @ Audubon Insectarium ~
~ Saturday October 29th and Sunday October 30th ~

On Cheezburger, the online network that captures all things funny, people post ludicrous photos of their "LOLcats" and cats have been dubbed "weapons of mass cuteness."
With their quizzical faces, demanding natures, propensity for getting caught in compromising positions and patrician adore-me-but-don't-tie-me-down personalities, cats are sometimes said to own their humans. Dog owners have the reputation for devotional excess, but cat lovers will also go to extraordinary lengths to accommodate their persnickety feline family members.
"I'm a huge cat lover and people do make fun of me," said Cathi Pritchard, whose three felines have their own enclosed playground in the backyard that they can reach by way of an underground tunnel they enter through a cat door inside the house.
Pampered Cats
"She dreamed it up, but I took it to a whole new level," said her husband, Ken Pritchard, a UPS driver who constructed the 25-foot-long enclosure along the back fence at their Santa Rosa home without formal designs, and outfitted it with a little treehouse for snoozing, a ramp leading to ledges for birdwatching, a spigot for fresh water, a catbox and a scratching post with an artificial grass perch.
The Pritchards say that when people step into their backyard for the first time, they're blown away. But as more cat owners face the risks of letting their cats roam free, such enclosures may become a more common part of pet ownership.
Cats are territorial animals. When they are faced with competition in the tight quarters of a neighborhood, fights are bound to occur, resulting in infected wounds that can be life-threatening. Cats also face dangers from larger animals, cars, parasites and poison. Their roaming can cause tension with neighbors. And, hardwired for hunting, cats can kill birds and contribute to an alarming decline in songbird populations.

More than a full calendar year after breaking both his tibia and fibula after a tackle from Stoke City's Ryan Shawcross, Arsenal FC's Aaron Ramsey has returned to first team action in their FA Cup match against Manchester United. Ramsey had been an unused substitute previously and has played for Championship clubs in two separate loan spells, but this substitute appearance is his first appearance in an Arsenal shirt since the 27th of February, 2010.
His 72nd minute entrance, in place of Abou Diaby, was met by a loud roar by the away fans that was easily audible at Old Trafford. Much like Valencia's return for United, Ramsey's return couldn't have come at a better time. Arsenal are thin in the center of midfield, with both Alex Song and Cesc Fabregas battling injury.
If you're unaware of how highly touted a young player Ramsey was before his injury (and still is), the announcer told an awesome story about a U-21 international fixture between Wales and England. in the game, Sunderland's hard-tackling defensive midfielder, Lee Cattermole, was set to man mark Ramsey during the game. Ramsey embarrassed him so thoroughly that Stuart Pearce subbed Cattermole off after 35 minutes. Welcome back, Aaron.

Answers & Questions
In Jim Harrison's fine new novel, The Road Home, I came across this aphorism (which I'm paraphrasing from memory): Questions are mighty oaks; answers small hard acorns. I don't know what it means, but the image is very vivid and suggestive, and I'd like to offer a few of my own associations.
The oak tree stands open to the elements, the rain, and the wind, and sun. The acorn has a vital core, but it is enclosed within a hard shell. An old teacher said, "Not knowing is most intimate." Knowing puts a hard shell of explanation and judgement between us and the world. Questions ramify in endless directions; answers bring an end to possibility.
But the oak and the acorn do not exist apart from one another. The mature tree throws off thousands upon thousands of acorns, whose hard shells eventually break down and allow the seed within to grow. Questions naturally lead to answers, which give rise to more questions. To arrest the cycle at either point is death.
We all come to practice with questions, perhaps the most basic of which is "Why am I suffering?" And we also come to practice with our private answers to that question, answers that involve blaming ourselves or others, or which catch us in endless cycles of hope and disappointment. These answers lie buried within our minds as grim unconscious beliefs, and within our bodies as hard knots of physical tension. While they lie buried, unexposed to the light and air of our attention, the seed of our vitality is trapped within their hard shells.
We must center our practice not on coming up with new answers to our questions, but on bringing to light the old answers we carry around inside us and which form the hard shell of Self that stands between us and Life. Therapy can help us unravel the history of our answers. Instead of taking our ingrained assumptions for granted, we learn to ask over and over, "Where did I get that idea? Paradoxically, longer we practice, the less we may be able to answer the basic questions that brought us to practice in the first place. But we are more able to endure their mystery.

Cashiers, Glenville show their pull in the pollsWritten by Becky Johnson
- Are visitor centers passé? Haywood tourism authority mulls bang for the buck at visitor center sites

- Mission moving in: Haywood Regional facing battle over home turf
- Haywood's detergent war: Schools opt for EcoLab over local supplier
The three new Jackson commissioners — Jack Debnam, Charles Elders and Doug Cody — owe their victory last fall in part to the Cashiers and Glenville communities, where they won by margins of nearly 3 to 1.
Though they won in several other precincts as well, no where was their showing as impressive as it was on the mountain.
The floundering Cashiers recreation center project could be partly to blame for their predecessors' ousting — although it's not the only reason. All three were Democrats, and no Democrat on the ballot, from Congress to sheriff, fared very well in Cashiers — though none did quite so poorly as the commissioners.
While the new board of commissioners will surely curry favor with Cashiers-Glenville voters for finally making the recreation center a reality, the stage for success was set — ironically — by the former commissioners despite their dismal approval rating there.
The blueprints, the costly site work to date — and most notably $5 million squirreled away in savings to pay for construction — were left behind on a silver platter for the taking.
Cashiers and Glenville combined have a year-round population of just 3,700, according to the latest census. But there are far more seasonal residents that flood the mountain in the summer. Of the 6,440 homes in the Cashiers-Glenville area, only 25 percent are lived in year-round, according to the census.

Agency's control over modified crops is limited
Jul 7, 2014
By The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Oregon agriculture officials say the state has no authority over genetically modified crops once federal regulators deem them safe for commercial use.
In a letter to Gov. John Kitzhaber, the Oregon Department of Agriculture said state law allows it to create "control areas" for genetically engineered crops to deal with pests and disease. But it can create such areas only for GE crops that are in the trial phase.
Officials say once a GE crop is "deregulated" by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it is deemed not to be a carrier of pests or disease — and the state loses authority over the crop.
In October, Kitzhaber directed the state Agriculture Department to use its authority to deal with conflicts between GE and non-GE crops, including by creating a statewide mapping system for GMO field locations, establishing buffer zones and exclusion areas.
But the department's letter to Kitzhaber shows its authority for dealing with GE issues is limited.
The governor also announced the creation of a task force to study issues related to GMOs, such as mapping and labeling.
The move was spurred by several instances of genetic contamination in the region that rendered non-engineered crops unsellable on the export market. It came after lawmakers adopted a bill to ban county governments from regulating GMOs on their own.
Jackson County was exempted from the law because a measure already had qualified for the ballot. Residents in that county voted to ban genetically engineered crops in May.
State regulators say Oregon law does not require farmers to submit cropping information to the state Department of Agriculture, making the mapping of genetically engineered crops impossible. The state receives notification of proposed GMO field trials from the USDA — but such notifications often don't include the county where the trials are taking place, and never include the specific locations of fields.
More than a decade ago, the state established one control area for genetically engineered bentgrass in central Oregon, requiring buffer zones and other measures. The GE bentgrass was grown as part of field trials, meaning it wasn't yet deemed safe for commercial cultivation.
Oregon regulators say they can provide input and monitor trials of GE crops designed to produce vaccines, drugs, enzymes or other medicinal compounds — so-called biopharmaceuticals. But to date, the state hasn't received notification of any biopharmaceutical crop trials in Oregon.
Oregon regulators say the legislature could grant them the option to map GMOs or otherwise regulate genetically engineered crops. The governor has said he could introduce new GMO-related legislation in the 2015 session.
And Oregonians could soon have a say on GMO labeling: Proponents of a ballot measure to require the labeling say they have submitted enough signatures to qualify the measure for a statewide vote in November.

No services are planned for former area resident Everett E. Williams, 82, who passed away on Aug. 9 in Spokane.
Born on Nov. 21, 1928, to the late Edward and Minnie (Wallace) Williams in Darlington, Idaho, he moved often growing up and therefore attended many schools, but graduated from Deer Park High School in 1947. After high school he joined the Air Force, where he also took college classes.
He later became the manager of Sprouse Reitz stores in the Hillyard and Garland locations before moving to Colville to manage the Sprouse Reitz there.
In 1978, he and his wife, Marilyn, bought the Fonk's 5¢-$1.00 Store and changed the name to Fonk's Pet & Variety. For 20 years they owned the store and worked side-by-side with many wonderful employees (including their three daughters). They had pets and supplies, yard goods, sewing notions, craft stationary and many other items and services. They became well known for their popcorn, caramel corn and other goodies in the front of the store.
The Williams were also well recognized as Colville sweethearts, driving their big yellow Plymouth, sitting side by side wherever they went. They proudly built their home they lovingly shared for 39 years.
At home, Mr. Williams loved to garden and build.
He was preceded in death by three brothers, Corwin, Ethan and Irwin.
He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Marilyn Williams; three daughters, Lori (Jim) Murray of Monroe, Wash., Linda (Don) Anderson of Colville and Arlene (Bud) Bradeen of Kettle Falls, WA; two sisters, Joan "Williams" Easley of Loon Lake and Mary Williams of Spokane; seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
The Danekas Funeral Chapel and Crematory in Colville is entrusted with arrangements.
An online memorial and guestbook is available at www.danekasfuneralchapel.com.

I will not recount the history here, that is the purpose and success of Rashid's work, but the scene is truly one of chaos, with tribal, ethnic, national, cultural, political relationships entwining around each other. Add a good harvest of opium, American CIA money (which seems to be the preferred manner in which Americans have treated the Afghanis, buying them off rather than actually doing something to help the country), British MI6 personnel, various warlords of various leanings, the Pakistani ISI, a hesitant NATO, a reluctant UN, an aggressive al Queda, ex-patriates wanting their piece of the power and money, the Pakistani army, nuclear weapons, and a mix of command structures in Afghanistan, a mix of loyalties in both countries and the entire scene is one dedicated to volatility and chaos.
Similar to other works critical of U.S. foreign policy, Rashid denounces the "arrogance and ignorance" that were "in abundant supply as the Bush administration invaded two countries in the Muslim world without any attempt to understand the history, culture, society, or traditions of those countries."
Even more critically, he says, "American power lies shattered. The U.S. Army is overstretched and broken, the American people are disillusioned and rudderless,
As indicated at the beginning Rashid succeeds remarkably well. After having read it, there is still much confusion, if not from the prolific number of names, groups, organizations, and places involved in the story, then from the reality that, yes it is confusing, as chaos tends to be.
Rashid offers little in the way of solutions, other than to summarize that "the peoples and regimes of this region have to understand that unless they themselves move their nations toward greater democracy, the chaos that presently surrounds them will, in time, overwhelm them." Therein lies one of the big problems. How do countries with such severe problems, created in large part by invading forces who show no signs of operating capably towards reconstruction, ever approach democracy? Those same countries that are doing most of the fighting – the U.S. and Great Britain in particular – are much less democratic themselves than they used to be, wilfully ignoring international law, abrogating international treaties, denying human rights at home and abroad, and weakening their own constitutional protections by allowing so many unilateral government decisions.

Volunteer Center benefits through local generosity
The Scotts Bluff County Volunteer Center delivers over 22,000 meals yearly through the "Meals on Wheels" program. Their "Snow Angels" program puts emergency food bags together for those times when inclement weather or holidays prevent Meals on Wheels volunteers from delivering their usual meal.
After putting out a plea for donations of non-perishable food items or monetary donations for the "Snow Angels", donations began to pour in at all of the drop off locations. Volunteer Center Executive Director Jill Allen says they have also received a combined total of $5,521 in donations toward all of their programs, including the Snow Angels.
That total included check donations of 2500.00 from West Nebraska All-Star, $1,200 from Panhandle Coop, $450.00 from Wolf Auto, and $800.00 Valley Bank & Insurance. Donations were also received from Great Western Bank, First State Bank, First National Bank, Plymouth Congregational Church, Outreach Ministries.
Food donations were also collected and donated from KNEB, Gering Citizen, Methodist church of Gering, SB Church of Christ, UPS, Star-Herald, KCMI, Meridian Trust, Wills Chiropractic Clinic, RWMC, Vertex, Fresh Foods, Central Church of Christ, Wildcat Roofing, City of Scottsbluff, Bluffs Broadcasting, and from many generous citizens in the community. Allen said while they are principally funded through the United Way of Western Nebraska, there are alot of extra things they do for volunteers, and additional costs they have so monetary donations are always welcomed.

A former Phoenix Police officer has pleaded guilty to manslaughter charges.Richard Chrisman was arrested three years ago, accused of shooting and killing an unarmed man during a domestic violence call.Daniel Rodriguez is the alleged victim in this case.On Wednesday, Chrisman pleaded guilty to manslaughter or recklessly causing Rodriguez's death.Chrisman looked like he was in good spirits, even smiling at his family before the hearing, but during the hearing, his demeanor changed.Back in September, a jury found Chrisman guilty of aggravated assault, but couldn't reach a verdict on a 2nd degree murder charge. Both sides came to an agreement -- pleading guilty to manslaughter. It's a lesser charge, still Chrisman seemed to struggle with pleading guilty."He recklessly caused the death of Daniel Rodriguez... Mr. Chrisman, did you hear Mr. Martinez tell me what he thought happened back in 2010?" asked the prosecutor."Yes, sir," replied Chrisman."Did he get the facts right?""Yes, sir.""You can make any correction you want to.""Don't have any."Chrisman barely looked at his family when he walked out of court. Some of his family left crying. As part of the plea, the animal cruelty charge against him was dismissed."I don't think that Rich.. in his heart, necessarily agrees with what he had to say up there, but let's face it, we're three years into this from when it started and the justice system has a way of wearing and grinding on people. It'll wear you down enough.. I'm sure he's exhausted, his family is exhausted and you get a point where you just want to put things behind you and move on," said Ken Crane of the Phoenix Police Union.Chrisman's manslaughter sentence will run at the same time as his aggravated assault sentence. That means he won't spend any more time in prison for pleading guilty. He'll be sentenced for both next week and faces up to 15 years in prison.

Historic trees at Stephens House & Gardens blown down in ferocious storm
Updated 2:48pm Monday 17th February 2014 in News By Natalie O'Neill
Three large trees fell in the high winds at Stephens House & Gardens (Pic: Stephens House & Gardens)
High winds tore down trees dating back 155 years at a historic Finchley estate.
Three large trees, including two poplars, fell at Stephens House & Gardens in East End Road during a ferocious storm on Friday night.
The Grade II-listed Victorian mansion was once owned by Henry Charles Stephens, who bought the house in 1874 after his father, Dr Henry Stephens, invented blue-black ink in 1832.
It boasts one of the last surviving gardens developed by Robert Marnock, the leading garden designer of the time.
Managers at the estate were keen to maintain Marnock's vision for long vistas, and cherished the trees and plants he had chosen for the garden.
Trust chairman Andy Savage told the Times Series: "I was very fed up when I realised some of the trees had come down.
"We've been doing a lot of studies on our trees and we'd hoped to keep the poplars for a very long time. It's a bit of our history that's gone. It's very sad."
The poplars, which are believed to have been planted in Stephens' time, were approximately 20 metres tall and one and a half metres wide.
At least half a dozen more trees were also damaged in the winds, leaving large branches and twigs strewn across the grounds.
Twenty-four volunteers, including eight from University College London, turned out to help clear the debris yesterday.
Mr Savage said: "I was absolutely delighted that so many people came to help. Everybody worked very hard carting all the timber and odds and sods to the top of the grounds and getting the path, parallel to The Avenue, back open again."
Tree surgeons will be brought in to cut the larger trees and parts of the trunks will be placed around the grounds. The rest of the wood will be recycled, and some will be given away as firewood in return for a donation to the estate.
Heavy rain is predicted to hit the borough again this evening, although no weather warnings are in place.

Loved this dip, I use sundried tomatoes instead of the fresh. Gives a richer flavour.

M4 relief road scrapped in 2009 due to 'unacceptable' tolls
The former Transport Minister has criticised plans to invest £830million to ease congestion on the M4 around Newport.
Ieuan Wyn Jones says that plans were abandoned in 2009 because he was advised that "not only was the new relief road to be subjected to tolls, so was the existing M4 to be tolled. "
The Plaid Cymru Assembly Member said it was based on evidence that had been gained during the operation of the M6 toll road.
He said he came to the conclusion that "it was simply unacceptable for motorists to have to pay tolls on the Severn bridges and on the existing M4 and new relief road."
"There was already significant complaints about the tolls on the Severn bridges and this additional burden on motorists and businesses could not possibly be justified. "
"That is why I accepted my officials' advice not to proceed with the relief road but to ease congestion around Newport by linking into the southern distribution road as an alternative route."

Scotty McCreery Radio
The winner of American Idol's tenth season, country crooner Scotty McCreery began singing as a child in Garner, North Carolina. School performances eventually gave way to local competitions, and McCreery won a singing contest in the nearby town of Clayton before trying out for American Idol as a 16-year-old. Auditioning with Josh Turner's "Your Man,� he made good use of his country twang and deep baritone vocals, prompting the judges to compare him to Randy Travis. McCreery passed the audition, became an audience favorite, and eventually won the competition in May 2011. Lauren Alaina, another country-singing teenager and a close friend of McCreery's, took home the second-place title. McCreery's coronation song was "I Love You This Big,� a country ballad that sold nearly 175,000 copies during its first week of release. The song also cracked the country charts at number 32, making it the highest-charting debut single in country history, and helped stir up anticipation for his full-length album, which he recorded while preparing for American Idol's summer tour. Clear as Day appeared in the fall of 2011 from Mercury Nashville. ~ Andrew LeaheyPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Four years ago, Paul Harrington thought he was picking up a duck decoy that his wife won in a silent auction. He ended up with a hobby, too.
Fascinated by the craftsmanship of the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild, the New Bern resident found himself back on Harkers Island, where he will be the guild member running the live auction Saturday at the 26th Core Sound Decoy Festival in Carteret County.
"I fully intended to give the man my money and take the bird and drive home but ended up spending two hours," Harrington said by phone Monday. "I was just fascinated."
Slicing into three fingers during his initial lessons didn't deter him, and now he says he "can make something that you would identify as a duck."
The real skill, he says, belongs to other guild members. "The talent is amazing," said Harrington, who retired to New Bern from Northern Virginia.
That talent will be on display at Harkers Island Elementary School. Bidders at the 1 p.m. Saturday auction will find new and vintage decoys from carvers, collectors and estates. Harrington said 120 lots of one or more birds will be up for bid, with selling prices typically ranging from $20 to $1,500.
Festival hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and 10-4 Sunday. Proceeds benefit the school and carving demonstrations at shows around the state. Find a schedule of the festival's International Wildfowl Carvers Association competitions plus several waterfowl calling contests at www.decoyguild.com.
Also on the island Friday-Sunday is the Core Sound Waterfowl Weekend celebration at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum. An auction of decoys, guns and other gear starts at 5 p.m. Saturday. Learn more at www.coresound.com.

4/5 rDev +0.5%
On tap @ The HopCat (Grand Rapids, MI) on 4/22/10. Served in a pint glass.
Pours black, with a ½ finger of light mocha colored head. This retains with some good looking foamy richness around the edges that leaves a solid cascade of frothy lace behind, which quickly slides down the sides of the glass. The aroma has a quality dry roasted feel going on with it, with plenty of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of roasted nuttiness as well. This was nice.
The taste is bitter chocolate and some sweeter toffee notes up front, before that mix of dry roasted malt and coffee takes over. Some earthy bitterness makes itself known throughout the profile. The mouthfeel is medium bodied; with a crisp prickle to the carbonation yet still remains a nice smoothness across the palate, enabling the body to able to pack some substance in while still staying easy feeling. Good overall feel here.
This was a pleasant little surprise on this trip to the HopCat, packing a surprising amount of full flavors for a Dry Stout and staying easy and drinkable even without the benefit of a nitro-pour. I'm glad that I gave this one a shot.

Arc'teryx Fission AR Jacket
4-star: 0
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
770 g / 1 lb 11.2 oz
Athletic fit, Hip Length
325NR GORE-TEX® Pro Shell 2L, 420N GORE-TEX® Pro Shell 2L, 133 gm / sq m PrimaLoft® Sport, 40D Nylon lining
Ok let me start out to say that I just bought the…
Fabric: gore-tex pro shell
Fill: prima-loft
Price Paid: $325
Ok let me start out to say that I just bought the -current- version of this jacket. I owned the first or second version that came out, back when regular gore-tex was used (as opposed to the current gore-tex pro shell) A few things have changed since I originally had this jacket back in 2002:
- updated, more breathable gore-tex pro
*not tested yet*
-cuffs changed from smooth-knit to velcro
*according to the salesman, knit cuffs stretch over time,
my fission LT has smooth-knit cuffs which have stretched a bit, but not enough to be an issue. Maybe this will be a concern for folks larger than my skinny self.
- 2 inner drop in mesh pockets added.
*this is wonderful, a welcome addition! (large enough for gloves, nalgene etc)
-hanger loop added. not quite sure what the hell this is lol
-water tight zipper smoother /easier to operate
*the older versions were sticky at first, this one is as smooth as butter
Now on to the things that have not changed:
-warmth: 5 of 5 stars for it's weight(very light weight), excellent level of warmth. I recall wearing my original Fission AR into the teens if not colder, with a light 100 wt fleece p/o and mid weight base-layer.
-water/wind proofness: 5 stars on both points! Fully windproof , and the gore-tex is "guaranteed to keep you dry". Winds kickin' at 30+ , nothing came through.
things I'd change:
-add one chest pocket , I find these very useful for chapstick, and other small items.
-add a drawcord at the neck, which I find a bit large, but my neck is on the skinny side.
Over all , based on my previous experiences this is the usual Arc'teryx fit and quality that I've come to love over the years. If you aren't familiar, Arc'teryx products are designed for the athletic build, not casually cut like The North Face products. All Arc'teryx items have extra long arms , low volume chests and long torsos. there are some exceptions to this. Like their ski specific shells are larger in volume.
*I bought this jacket for every day mountain (Himalayas, cold and dry, wet and windy!), at home use (usually not so wet here but windy and cold at times), and for belay. I purchased a size larger than my usual, only one left on sale.
The extra butt coverage is welcome for all my uses. A little loose round the waist, the draw cords have to be pulled fully to seal it. I will come back and update this review when this point is tested*
bottom-line :
If you're in the market for a warm , light, water-proof, do-it-all jacket..look no further!

Strong gusts of stormy winds blow snow all over the ski resort, but you couldn't care less since you have the Arc'teryx Men's Fission AR Insulated Jacket wrapped across your body. Falling temps are no longer an issue with 100g Coreloft insulation warming you up, and a Gore-Tex 2-layer membrane with fully taped seams wraps up that insulation with guaranteed waterproof and breathable protection that keeps you dry and comfortable while you shred those snowy slopes. Plus, Arc'teryx reinforced the shoulders, elbows, hood, collar, and other areas of high use with Gore-Tex Pro 3-layer fabric for long lasting durability. An athletic fit pulls the Fission AR close to your body without restricting your mobility on the mountain, and articulated elbows enhance your freedom of movement. The laminated brim on the hood helps keep wetness off your face, and you can roll the Stow Hood in its collar when the sun pokes out. WaterTight external zippers increase this jacket's waterproof protection in ways that most jackets don't. Laminated hook-and-loop cuffs seal out those blustery blizzards, and the drop-back hem adds more coverage across your backside even when you bend over to strap on your bindings.

HOUSTON—The victim of what authorities called an improper relationship with a former Humble High School teacher spoke out for the first time publicly about the ordeal.
"It was totally like a curveball for me in my life," she said. "I just want the truth to be out."
In March, authorities arrested former dance instructor Amanda Feenstra on a felony charge.
The victim said Feenstra used to shower her with compliments.
"She was just like, 'you're a great dancer. You're so special."'
It wasn't long, she said, until the dance instructor and the then 17-year-old student became more like friends.
"We would hang out like we were on the same level."
But that all changed one night when she was sitting in Feenstra's car.
"She talked about wanting to kiss me. And then she kissed me."
The kiss, she said, would lead to sex on multiple occasions in the school's dance room and at Feenstra's home when her husband was away.
"I didn't have the tools or the wisdom to break it off."
But she tried to several months later. She said even after she graduated from high school, Feenstra wouldn't leave her alone and continued to stalk her. That's when she confided in another teacher about the relationship.
Authorities arrested Feenstra soon after.
Calls to Feenstra's attorney were not returned. The victim wants to make sure what happened to her never happens again.
"I was manipulated like a puppet. I don't want her to get away with it."
