- Awesome Review by Davor
Price Value Quality Highly recommended. Dries fast, very light yet quite durable. Neck collar extends just right to provide comfort while using sling for extended periods of time. Quite obvious that designers spent a lot of time costumizing this shirt to be used while wearing body armor, attention to detail is amazing (as on all LEAF products). Must-have item for deployment bag.

- Very light weight Review by phon
Price Value Quality I like this shirt so much I bought two of them.
The sleeves are durable and very well made.
The body part is thin and breathable. Dry very fast. I'm 5'11" and 185lb I normally go with L for all Arcteryx jacket but for this shirt I went with M and it fit very well. The sleeves and length of the shirt fit just right.(Posted on 1/29/13)
- This shirt is no joke Review by Jeff
Quality Price Value Just got mine in black, these guys are not playing light weight comfortable moves with you and not against you. Durable sleeves to take the abuse of the serious operator light weight body and the zippered duel sleeve pockets make it a must have for any operational gear bag. Very satisfied with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone. This is a great first purchase to familiarize yourself with this outstanding product line. I will definitely be checking out some other items from this great company.

Another rarity to keep in mind. Passing references has the same effect as passing a referenced object. Even if there's no different for PHP between those two, it's probably not evident. So, this code would not have the _id field added to $a:
$b = &$a;
/* ... more code here ... */
$m = new MongoClient;
$collection = $m->test->phpmanual;
$a = array('x' => 12);
// array(1) { ["x"]=> int(12) }
I've made the assignment above to show how this situation could happen, if you reassigned a var, for example. But it could be some normal referencing after giving $a its final value (but before calling insert), and the consequence would be the same: if a var is referenced, it won't get the _id appended.

That survey showed an organization divided by age and, in some cases, by region.
"While a majority of adults in the Scouting community support the BSA's current policy of excluding open and avowed homosexuals, young parents and teens tend to oppose the policy," the survey said.
A BSA spokesman at the time called the issue "among the most complex and challenging issues facing the BSA and society today."
"The Boy Scouts of America will not sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, divisive, and unresolved societal issue," the group said after Thursday's decision.
Chief Scout Executive Wayne Brock said, "Our goal through all of this was to put kids first ... It allows us to serve youth who want to be part of scouting."
A long time grappling with a polarizing issue
The BSA for years has been at the center of the debate over gay rights.
A recent Washington Post-ABC News Poll showed that 63% of Americans said they would support allowing gay youths to join the Boy Scouts.
The vote comes more than a decade after the Supreme Court ruled that the organization has the right to keep out gays but also at a time of declining participation in the organization.
Membership in Boy Scouts has declined by about a third since 1999. About 2.7 million people now participate nationwide.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, after the vote, said it will continue to work with the BSA.
"Sexual orientation has not previously been -- and is not now -- a disqualifying factor for boys who want to join Latter-day Saint Scout troops," it said in a statement.
It was too early to tell what impact the decision might have on scout troops, and whether some families may join other organizations.
The impending vote did spur action by a new organization called Faith Based Boys. Thomas Dillingham, an official from that group, said applications will be accepted starting in August for youth members and group leaders.
"Christian churches and organizations will use this program to continue serving God by training young men to have good character through service to their communities," Dillingham said Thursday. "The profound need for a nationwide program like this has now been realized and the relevance of such a program will only become more important as time goes on."
Tico Perez, the BSA's national commissioner, said there have been ongoing talks with churches and others opposed to the inclusion of gay scouts.
That said, he echoed other Boy Scout officials in saying they believe that Thursday's vote ultimately helps advance the cause.
"We're accepting youth," Perez said, "and we're excited about where we are."

Tu Desi Thumka La
When you pop your hip to the left and back while continuously doing that with the beats of the song, you my friend are doing the 'Desi Thumka'. It's very popular among all the Desis that is Pakistanis, Indians and others. The trend of dancing has been there since before the 18th century and it still continues. People dance especially on Pakistani weddings to upbeat and famous songs ranging from Punjabi style to pure English songs. Young girls and boys practice well before the wedding atleast 3 months before, but planning starts a year before.
Which songs will be 'in' during the wedding, the clothes, everything is planned.
Although there are other styles of dancing other then Punjabi style such as crumping, breakdancing, hip hop, I personally like Punjabi with all the thumkas with the 'latkas' and 'jhatkas'.
A song 'Desi Thumka' has also emerged which is sung by Nouman Khalid feat. Osama Com Laude. Although both of the singers come in the category of 'pretty' boys and most girls will call them 'cute', well I'm one of those girls. Anyway when you listen to the song you expect the video to be full breaking the stage kind but the actual video is very classy and subtle. I personally thought the video was restrained. Overall the song is very addictive as well as very popular nowadays having more than 6 million views on YouTube.

Homespun Community Dancing with Peter, Paul & George |
Multicultural- Other, Music, Performing Arts- Dance |
Come kick up your heels to live fiddle music! Enjoy a tradition of community dancing and music handed down from generation to generation. Everyone gets involved – from ages 2 to 102 (especially those who have not danced before) -- in easy-to-learn American barn dance favorites: circles, squares, contras, as well as folk dances from around the world, like Ireland, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Tahiti, Mexico, France, Scandinavia, China and Africa.
The toe-tapping tunes consist of reels, jigs, polkas, hornpipes and waltzes. Instruments may include fiddle, banjo, flute, pennywhistle, clarinet, guitar, piano, recorder, percussion, and more. While participation in the dancing is encouraged -- it's hard to sit still -- it's also fun to just watch and listen to the music.
This program helps children develop an awareness of our traditional way of life - when people lived without electricity and had to make their own entertainment - and discusses the origins, sounds and uses of traditional instruments. The Family Dance usually includes a short sit-down period to talk about the dancing, music, instruments, and cultures.
Here's a video sample of a family dance: http://homespun.biz/interfamilydance.htm

Game Info
Name: | Mass Effect 3 |
Genre: | Role Playing |
Platform: | PC |
File Size: | 9.7 GB |
Earth is burning. Striking from beyond known space, a race of terrifying machines have begun their destruction of the human race. As Commander Shepard, an Alliance Marine, your only hope for saving mankind is to rally the civilizations of the galaxy and launch one final mission to take back the Earth.
Our Review for Download Game: Mass Effect 3 (PC)
Genre: Role Playing | Platform: PC
Mass Effect 3 is the third instalment in Electronic Arts' "Mass Effect" series, and the final part of the trilogy. It was announced in December 2010, and is scheduled to be released in 2011. Many gaming websites have already christened it "The Most Awaited Game of 2011".
After killing the traitor Saren and defending the galaxy from the return of the mighty Reapers, Commander Shephard is believed to be killed in the explosion that destroyed his ship, Normandy. However, he is resurrected by Cerebrus, and a mysterious figure known only as the Illusive Man implores Shepard to save the galaxy once more. After assembling a team (which includes many of his original crew members) Shepard sets out on a suicide mission to destroy an alien force known as the Collectors.
In Mass effect 3, war has now reached earth. A race of terrifying alien machines has invaded our home. Now, it is up to Commander Shepard to rally all the races of the universe to our cause. Humanity must fight side by side with all the species in the galaxy to defeat this new threat. As was the case in Mass Effect 2, players can import their profile from previous Mass Effect games. In doing so, the game follows the path chosen by the player, rather than a canon storyline.
Mass Effect 3 is still in development, but it is being speculated that it will have richer RPG elements than its predecessors. The weapon, armour and appearance customisation are going to see an overhaul. The developers have also hinted that vehicular combat may be present in the game (the Mako combat vehicle did not appear in Mass Effect 2). The developers have also decided to release several Downloadable content (DLC) for the Mass Effect series, which will supplement the original storyline.
This most awaited game of 2011 can be purchased digitally. All you have to do is buy the game and download it to your hard drive. Mass Effect 3 is expected to be available for Digital Download soon. Keep an eye on the charts!!

Photo Winner #2
Portland's own Greg Hudson (Corsa Concepts creator) came away with the prize this week. We recognize that neither Chris nor Zach did any racing this past weekend but that does not mean that we were not out there. A little break for the pro's before the all out onslaught that will end with the National Championships in nearby Bend, Oregon in December. However, there is one more character that has donned the Rapha-FOCUS skinsuit to race this year. Slate Olson, Rapha North America's General Manager has been proudly flying that pink, blue and black flag. Here he was captured at Cross Crusade # 3, which took place at the the Sherwood Forest Equestrian Center.
There are a few of Slate's style points that should be noted. The pink Oakley sunglasses, FOCUS Mares Cross bike, fresh white bar-tape, Easton EC90 Carbon wheels and Embrocation Cycling Journal tall socks are all points that say "cyclocross" loud and clear. But what should be noted is the carrying position of the bike. This run-up was a little bit tacky and more than a little bit steep. But the choice was clear here — Shoulder your bike and use your free arm to help power your way to the top (and while it is up there use it to keep other racers from passing you - if you want.)
This coming weekend the Rapha-FOCUS squad of two will be in Louisville, Kentucky. So, that means that your chance to capture them in action and take away one of the Rapha-FOCUS Caps and enter yourself to win something in the overall.

New figures show incomes in the South Florida region have dropped, and Florida's unemployment figure of 8.8% remains unchanged. Has Governor Rick Scott's economic policy made any difference? Meanwhile, Mitt Romney looks to recover from gaffes about the 47% made at a Boca Raton fundraiser. Both he and Barack Obama spoke at Univision forums in Miami to appeal to Hispanic voters. Plus: after testimony by victims' families, will a state task force recommend changes to the Stand Your Ground law?

Miami Herald South America bureau chief Jim Wyss updates WLRN's Phil Latzman on Hugo Chavez's fight to keep his job against upstart opponent Henrique Capriles. Also discussed: political strife in Colombia and Latin American countries tasting rare Olympic glory during the Summer Games in London.

The first time Florida Sen. Chris Smith, a Fort Lauderdale Democrat, ran for office, he was just three years out of law school - a 28-year-old who still believed in the power of his lucky navy blue suit. As Smith puts it, he was a "nobody" from Broward County.
On an icy night in late December, Miami native Robert Battle, the new artistic director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, saw his past and future come together in the heart of New York City.
After a year and a half of public grooming, of working alongside his towering predecessor, Judith Jamison, Battle was finally at the head of modern dance's most famous company, and in programming the troupe's annual five-week season at City Center Theatre, a major event in the New York dance world, he had made his real debut as director.

This article is excerpted from Jordan Ballor's new book Ecumenical Babel: Confusing Economic Ideology and the Church's Social Witness.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906–1945) was a theologian and pastor intimately involved in the German church struggle (Kirchenkampf)— the attempt by the Third Reich to consolidate control under a central Reich bishop and promote pro-Nazi sentiment in the German church. Bonhoeffer issues his critique of the ecumenical movement in the form of an essay, "The Confessing Church and the Ecumenical Movement." The challenging question articulated in 1935, "Is the ecumenical movement, in its visible representation, a church?" echoes throughout the history of the movement. This is, he realizes, "the question...
Arguments about ideas are the bread and butter of the academic, journalism and think tank worlds. That is as it should be. Honest intellectual debate benefits any society where its practice is allowed. The key element is honesty.
Today, someone is always looking to take out the fastest gun, and in the battles over the hearts and minds of the public, many weapons are brought to bear. Unfortunately, and too often, among the artillery deployed by both sides in an argument are rhetorical deception, misleading statistics and an air of authority, which can immediately bury facts in the Boot Hill of honest debate.
Seldom held accountable for the violence brought to bear on the verifiable when their ideas lead to long-lasting negative effects, many of these intellectual gunslingers head into battle confident that their wits will save the...
Lee Edwards calls William F. Buckley Jr. "The St. Paul of the conservative movement." No other twentieth century figure made such a vast contribution to the intellectual force of political conservatism. He paved the way for the likes of Ronald Reagan and all of those political children of Reagan who credit the former president for bringing them into politics. He achieved what no other had done and that was his ability to bring traditional conservatives, libertarians, and anti-communists together under the same umbrella. Late in life, when asked why he continued working so hard despite fame and wealth, a surprised Buckley said, "My Father taught me that I owe it to my country. It's how I pay my debt."
Lee Edwards offers an excellent story of Buckley's founding and overseeing of the modern conservative crusade in ...
A free society needs both liberty and order. As Russell Kirk once put it, "order is the first need for any society—only then can liberty and justice be reasonably secure." From September 1787 through July 1788, this principle of ordered liberty shaped Federalist arguments for, and anti-Federalist arguments against, the ratification of the Constitution. Contemporary Americans might be tempted to assume that the opposition does not deserve to be counted among the Founding Fathers and Framers. But not only do many anti-Federalists belong in both categories, their works need to be read alongside the more famous Federalist Papers and James Wilson's oratory, if Americans hope to restore a sane balance between state and federal power.
Recent experience with tyranny shaped the Articles of Confederation, the United States'...
In the opening chapter of Aleksander Solzhenitsyn's novel, In the First Circle, the character Innokenty Volodin is faced with a moral dilemma over whether or not to share secret Soviet information with the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. In the end, his decision is made when he asks himself: "If we live in a state of constant fear, can we remain human?" The question is one that Solzhenitsyn asked of the Soviet government right up to the day he was arrested and exiled in 1974. His parting shot to the Soviet powers was the publication in Russia of the essay, "Live Not by Lies."
A new "restored" edition of In the First Circle was published in late 2009 by Harper Perennial in a translation by Harry T. Willetts. The new edition includes the missing chapters that Solzhenitsyn had excised to get the book past Soviet censors....
In June of 2010, the Acton Institute acquired the Grand Rapids–based book imprint, Christian's Library Press. CLP was founded in 1979 by Gerard Berghoef and Lester DeKoster as a publishing resource for Christian leadership, theology, and stewardship. Berghoef was president of the John Widdicomb Company of Grand Rapids and was an elder in the Christian Reformed Church for many years. DeKoster was a Calvin College professor and a former editor of The Banner, a publication of the Christian Reformed Church. With the death of DeKoster in 2009, Acton was given an opportunity to build upon their respected work.
Acton Institute is committed to publishing new books and building on the rich theological heritage that has characterized CLP. Acquiring CLP was a natural fit given all the work Acton has done to become a leading source in the area of Christian stewardship. Acton...
When I first heard the news from Haiti and watched the horrible stories on television, I had the same impulse I imagine millions around the world experienced: I found myself thinking of catching the next plane to Port-au-Prince to help in whatever way I could.
What was the basis of this impulse? It is our moral intuition, sometimes called the principle of solidarity. We feel pain when others feel pain, and joy when they experience joy; we slow down on the freeway when we pass an accident not merely for some macabre or prurient interest, but because we recognize that "there but for the grace of God go I."
And yet I had to ask myself the practical question: What would I actually do when I got off the plane in Haiti? I do not know how to set broken bones. I can't fix mudslides. I cannot operate on limbs and eyes. Only after all these things were done would I...
We cannot deal with people like human beings, we cannot deal with them on the high level of true humanity, unless we really know their origin—who they are. God tells man who he is. God tells us that He created man in His image. So man is some- thing wonderful.
Francis Schaeffer is one of the most influential Christians to have lived in the twentieth century. His life closely paralleled the rise and fall of godless communism in Europe. Schaeffer spent many of those years fighting to instill a depleted western Protestantism and an increasingly materialistic America with a sense of God's presence and His voice in human affairs.

The First Freedom
Twenty years on from the fall of the Berlin Wall, it is worth recalling the distinctly salvific promises of the inhuman ideologies of communism and fascism that resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of innocent people during the 20th century. The utopian promises of murderous ideologues were accompanied by a vicious fury against those faiths that proclaimed freedom and human dignity. The despot persecutes the believer, who refuses to offer the totality of his life to the ruling power. For this reason, the Framers of the U.S. Constitution considered religious liberty the "first freedom," the foundational freedom upon which others are built. A brief selection of readings follows. – Editors.
Communism and Christianity
Communism... wants above all to be a "world outlook"; it is...
America's Religious Left, having invested decades in dialogue with and advocating accommodation of the Soviet Bloc, was flummoxed and uncelebratory about the momentous collapse of East European Communism in 1989-1990.
The United Methodist Council of Bishops, representing 9 million church members in the U.S. were actually in session when the Berlin Wall fell in November 1989. They reacted by blandly commending the East Germans for their "openness and growing self- confidence" and by urging a "new trust and compassion throughout the world." They also warned against the imposition of Eastern or Western value systems, as though the two were morally equal.
East German United Methodist Bishop Rudiger Minor assured his fellow prelates that East Germans would not exchange communism for West German capitalism's "society of sharp elbows" and would instead...
Explaining the realignment of American Southern politics is often a favorite area of study among historians and scholars. A region that was once dominated by yellow dog Democrats, has for the most part continued to expand as a loyal region for the Grand Old Party. One of the earliest and most common narratives among liberal historians and writers is the belief that the realignment in the South had to do with a backlash against desegregation. Steven P. Miller in his new book Billy Graham and the Rise of the Republican South puts considerable emphasis on Graham's role in desegregation, public evangelicalism, and Graham as a spiritual and political adviser to presidents. Miller argues that Graham played a formidable role in reshaping the political climate of the South.
Early on Miller describes some of the dynamics of Graham's insistence on holding...
There are many anniversaries related to the fall of communism in Eastern Europe this year. Those countries were appropriately referred to as the "Captive Nations." What thoughts do you have as you look back at that time and remember some of the great figures who toiled for political and religious freedom?
It was thrilling to come to know some of the heroic champions of freedom from that historic period—Soviet human rights advocate Andrei Sakharov, Lithuanian Catholic priest and long time political prisoner Fr. Alfonsas Svarinskas, former Jewish refusnik Natan Scharansky, Romanian poet Dorin Tudoran, and many other less familiar political dissidents, clergy, and writers of samizdat literature. Of course, many others I would only know by reading about because they never made it out of the gulag and labor camps. In the struggle for individual rights and...
Recent press accounts of atrocities against Christians in the Muslim world too often point to mutual blame between the parties. In this issue, Nina Shea sets the record straight. Nina Shea, whom Christianity Today called "The Daniel of Religious Rights," has committed her life to fighting for religious and political freedom across the globe. In this interview, Ms. Shea pays tribute to the ten-year anniversary of the demise of communism in Eastern Europe, an uprising that started in the fall of 1989. She also makes important connections between the persecution many suffer today and the long twilight struggle for freedom behind the Iron Curtain and in the former Soviet Union. Her work is immensely important, and we are fortunate and humbled for this opportunity to raise awareness of all she is doing for the sake of freedom.
Managing editor Ray Nothstine has contributed a book...
In his much anticipated third encyclical, Caritas in Veritate (Love in Truth), Pope Benedict XVI does not focus on specific systems of economics—he is not attempting to shore up anyone's political agenda. He is rather concerned with morality and the theological foundation of culture. The context is, of course, a global economic crisis—a crisis that's taken place in a moral vacuum, where the love of truth has been abandoned in favor of a crude materialism. The pope urges that this crisis become "an opportunity for discernment, in which to shape a new vision for the future."
Yet his encyclical contains no talk of seeking a third way between markets and socialism. People seeking a blueprint for the political restructuring of the world economy won't find it here. But if they look to this document as a means for the moral reconstruction of the world's cultures and societies...

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by QatarRoyalAmbassador Amazing Stay
There are cities where a mistake is normal and the word sorry is used to cover up without any compassionate to the person we hurt for whatever reason. In a luxury hotel like Grand Intercontinental a mistake is rare and when it happens the reaction to it is aggressive leaving you looking for small mistakes to request a compensation politely and rest assure, you will be more than satisfied. Duty Manager was able to make me happy. Reception know what you want and give it to you. I have to stop people from caring too much about your state of mind. They know you are far away from your family doing business in a strange setting but they do whatever in their power to make you happy. I enjoyed Korean staff like no other and even when I act strange and unfriendly they kept on smiling and at the end you leave happy, satisfied and you look forward to stay at Intercontinental hotel one more time.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by JPL1 Excellent hotel and staff.
On an annual business trip I have stayed at and held a business dinner at the Grand Intercontinental for the past four years. The accomodations and service have always been outstanding. The staff always goes above and beyond to see that all our needs are taken care of and wee are comfortable.
This year, even though hotel rennovations are in progress, it was no exception. All inconveniences were kept to an absolute minimum and the staff provided extra assistance to accomodate for any of the rennovation inconveniences. It was as comfortable and enjoyable stay as it always have been and look forward to returning next spring.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by KMPeterson Don't go until the construction is complete
Unfortunately, we stayed here twice in a two week period and it was not enjoyable. The first time we checked in late and were so tired that we just didn't take much notice of the room or anything. The second time we were prepared a bit more for the situation and were more awake. We had the same type of room both times.
The room was big but definitely could use freshening up. However, the bathrooms are just horrible. They are terribly out of date and feel claustrophobic because the ceiling is quite low. The features in the room, like the storage, technology and space were quite nice but the bathroom just is not good. I did like the touch of the iPhone that you could rent during your stay; very considerate. They really must get window coverings that actually cover the windows and block out the light though. We were up with the sun because of all the light streaming into the room.
The staff were all quite friendly and tried to help where they could. However, I feel like they are lacking in the knowledge necessary to really be that helpful. For instance, no one even mentioned the City Air Terminal to us, even though it was right around the corner and would have made our flights much easier on us. Everyone's English skills were very good though.
The worst thing is all of the construction going on currently. They have sections of the hotel closed off and if you are on one side of the hotel you will certainly be disturbed by the construction noise. Our room on our second stay was on the construction side and far too near it because the next morning we were awakened by very loud construction noise. That combined with the window coverings that don't even sort of block the sun, made for a very unfortunate stay. Those factors also forced us to move to a different hotel for the rest of our stay.
I think this will be a great hotel once all of the construction and refurbishment is completed, but at this point it's really not a very pleasant stay. The location is excellent and very near public transport that make it convenient to get around the city. The restaurant up stairs, where they have breakfast, was very good and had excellent service, as well.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by ARS91 Nice Hotel but Unknowledgeable Staff
Comfortable rooms and great view of Seoul from my room. Front desk staff recognized my Platinum Elite status and thanked me for my business. However the multiple people who were working the concierge desk were exteremely unknowledgeable about sights to see in Seoul. **BEWARE** of the ATM's in this hotel. They will go through the entire transaction, issue a recipt and then an error message will come up. The machine took money out of my account and staff at the hotel could not do anything about it. Very frustrating as I had to wait until I returned to the States to file claims with the bank, thank goodness it was not a lot of money. It was upsetting that this happened at an Intercontinental and there was no ounce of humanity from anyone during the debacle.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by saburo Excellent room and service, great club lounge
This is my favorite hotel in Seoul. The junior suite I am usually upgraded to as an RA is very comfortable and spacious. Their club lounge is large, food selection quite good. But the best part of the club lounge is their concierge team. They are one of the most competent teams I have ever encountered.
The hotel is very close to Samseong subway station, and Hyndai department store is right next door. There is also a huge shopping mall in the area (COEX mall), catering to the urban young.
A few minutes walk from the hotel is the City Air Terminal, where you can check-in and go through immigration if you are flying Korean Air or Asiana, and a few other airlines, and take a very convenient non-stop Airport Limousine Bus to either Incheon or Gimpo airports. Roughly Incheon route has three services per hour, Gimpo two.

Alpha Delta Phi (ΑΔΦ, also Alpha Delt, A.D. or ADPhi) is an elite international Greek-letter secret and social college fraternity that was founded by Samuel Eells on October 29, 1832 at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. Founded as a literary society, it has evolved into one of the most distinguished of the original American college fraternities. It has retained its focus on its literary roots by attracting learned students at only the more prestigious colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. Its 50,000+ alumni include former Presidents and Senators of the United States, as well as Chief Justices of the Supreme Court. In 1992, five chapters of the fraternity, which desired to become co-educational, withdrew to form the Alpha Delta Phi Society, a separate and independent organization that is not part of the fraternity.
When Samuel Eells arrived on campus at Hamilton College, he found two existing literary societies, the Phoenix and the Philopeuthian, the latter of which he reluctantly joined. Eells quickly became disenchanted with both societies' unscrupulous recruiting tactics and considered creating his own society which would disavow what he had regarded as jealous and unsavory competition between the existing two. Eells proposed to select members from both the Phoenix and the Philopeuthian and found a new society of limited membership based on "the loftiest of intellectual and moral ideals."[1]
On October 29, 1832, Eells gathered four other members, two from the Phoenix and two from the Philopeuthian, to a meeting in his room, No. 15 Back-Middle, Kirkland Hall. The four other men were Lorenzo Latham, John Curtiss Underwood, Oliver Andrew Morse and Henry Lemuel Storrs. At that meeting, Eells drew up the fraternity's constitution and he and Latham together drew up the fraternity's emblem and symbols. Later in the year, other members were added and thus the first chapter of the Alpha Delta Phi was in full operation by the beginning of 1833.[1]
From its early days, Alpha Delta Phi sought students of a decided literary orientation. In the founder's own words, the literary pursuit of the fraternity must "be built on a more comprehensive scale than other societies, ... providing for every variety of taste and talent and embracing every department of literature and science... It must be national and universal in its adaptations, so as not merely to cultivate a taste for literature or furnish the mind with knowledge, but with a true philosophical spirit looking to the entire man, so as to develop his whole being -- moral, social and intellectual." Today, the literary tradition is continued on the international level in the form of annual literary competitions sponsored by the Samuel Eells Literary and Educational Foundation, which awards cash prizes in each of five categories.[2]
Other History[edit]
Alpha Delta Phi was the first fraternity to establish a chapter west of the Allegheny Mountains when it formed a chapter at Miami University in 1835. This chapter inspired the formation of three national fraternities at Miami in the 19th Century.
Alpha Delta Phi is a charter member of the North-American Interfraternity Conference (formerly known as the National Interfraternity Conference) (NIC), and a Brother of Alpha Delta Phi, Hamilton W. Mabie (Williams College, class of 1867), was the first President of the NIC. Alpha Delta Phi is today still a member of the NIC; the Alpha Delta Phi Society is not a member of the NIC.
As of August 2012, the Fraternity has 27 chapters and 4 affiliates, the oldest chapter existing at Hamilton College and the most recent affiliate at Washington University in St. Louis. In addition, the Fraternity has a regional alumni organization, the Midwest Association of Alpha Delta Phi, which is more than 125 years old. Alpha Delta Phi also has the third oldest continuous chapter in the North America Fraternity System, which is also the second oldest Alpha chapter at Hamilton College.
The Cornell chapter was founded in 1869.
The Dartmouth College chapter was the inspiration for National Lampoon's Animal House.[3]
For Yale University's campus, Alpha Delta Phi ranked first among all of the university's fraternities. It was brothers of Alpha Delta Phi that were mostly tapped to join the university's top-ranked senior society Skull and Bones. Issues with the number of Alpha Delta Phi's tapped for Skull and Bones also led to the creation of Yale's second society Scroll and Key.[4]
One of the chapters is located on the campus of University of British Columbia. This chapter is the oldest Greek letter organization on the campus; it was founded in 1926. Currently this chapter has 60+ active brothers and has been a serious competitor in campus athletics, with victories in Storm the Wall, Longboat, and The Great Trek.[5]

Popular Culture[edit]
In Season 1, Episode 9 of the television show Mad Men the character Harry Crane is asked by fellow advertising executive Pete Campbell whether he was in a fraternity and answers "Alpha Delta Phi. Also known as cutups." Pete appears to have been in a different fraternity, likely at Dartmouth College. In Season 3, Episode 3, Paul Kinsey is seen using Harry's paddle to play cricket.
(Source: The Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity, archived from the original on 12 May 2008, retrieved 2008-05-28)
National Lampoon's Animal House was co-written by Chris Miller and Doug Kenney. Miller based his writings on his own fraternity experiences with Alpha Delta Phi's Dartmouth Chapter. Miller was considered National Lampoon's fraternity life expert and even the movie's main character Larry Kroger shared Miller's own pledge name, i.e. Pinto. The characters of Larry Kroger and Mandy Pepperidge appear to have originated with Kenney.

Since its founding, the Alpha Delta Phi has adopted several fraternity songs written by members of its chapters. The songs can be downloaded from the fraternity's website or a songbook obtained from the fraternity's office.
The 1896 songbook is available via Google books.
The Society[edit]
The Fraternity is a retronym used now to distinguish the all-male Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity from the co-ed Alpha Delta Phi Society. In general parlance, the Fraternity refers to itself simply as the "Alpha Delta Phi"; the Society uses either the "Alpha Delta Phi Society" or "The Society".
Co-Ed Agreement of 1992[edit]
The Brunonian (Brown University) chapter first initiated women into its local membership in November, 1973 and this was followed by a proposal at the 1974 national convention to either allow individual chapters to admit women or to do so fraternity-wide. This debate was often contentious with most chapters opposed, some members lobbying for full admission of women but a larger number wanting to ban women altogether or grant them some form of associate membership. In 1992 an Agreement was made that allowed five chapters to withdraw from the fraternity (the Brunonian, Columbia, Middletown, Stanford and Bowdoin Chapters) and to allow those chapters wishing be coeducational to create the Alpha Delta Phi Society separate from the existing Fraternity.
Under the terms of this agreement, the Fraternity and the Society are completely separate and independent legal entities with separate governing bodies. The two groups are both licensees who share the name and intellectual property such as history and songs. The Society espouses "home rule," letting each chapter decide whether or not to co-educate. To date, all of its chapters are coeducational. There are limitations on both organizations as to where they can have chapters, and there are limitations on the use of the name Alpha Delta Phi by the Society.

In another episode of the Red, White and Blue of Going Greens You Just Cant Make This Up series, today we visit the Pennsylvania Department of Agricultures recent decision to ban labels on milk containers that tell consumers if the milk therein comes from cows not given a controversial synthetic growth hormone. Yes, in a move that has left farmers, retailers and consumers alike amazed, outraged and, for its sheer idiocy, bemused, Pennsylvania has decided to ban milk cartons that assure consumers that the cows that produced the milk therein were not shot up with a growth substance banned in Japan, Europe and Canada.
You know about rBGH and rBST, right? The Monsanto-produced artificial growth hormone that our FDA says is perfectly fine to use on our own USA cows (sorry, ladies) to artificially boost milk production? And while its illegal to juice up Bossie with this stuff in many other countries, now in Pennsylvania, the illegal thing is to tell consumers when their milk comes from cows given it.
Yes, fellow green patriots, at a time when the savviest retailers in the grocery biz, such as Kroger, Costco and Whole Foods, as well as restaurants like Starbucks and Chipotle Grill, are purging milk or cheese from their shelves that carry this artificial hormone, the folks at the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture have decided that in their state, labels telling people about it on milk cartons is illegal.
How about a Cow-veat Emptor (Let The Milk Buyer Beware) label on the milk cartons in Pennsylvania, instead?
I told you, you just cant make this up.
PS: Ohioans watch out similar discussion are afoot in your state's Department of Agriculture, too.

Whiteness and Resistance: Investigating Student Concepts of White Privilege in the Writing Classroom
Of the many identity issues that students face as they enter university writing
courses—those of gender, class, age, and race—the issue of white privilege is one that is seldom addressed.

Although the visible majority, white students benefit
from racial privilege that seems invisible, at least to them. I am i

Okay, so as you all know... pro-life protesters like to camp outside abortion clinics and harass young women.
My idea... join their protest or make a counter one with parody signs. [think westboro bapist church counter protests lol]
Let's organize a group and stand around and make a lot of noise and hold nonsense signs like these:
"I want to prevent the destruction of little 1/2 inch long babies that look like miniature aliens with tales and lizard stuff"
"You're evil if you want to destroy tiny brainless blobs that won't notice their own death"
"The flying spaghetti monster will boil you in a pot of spagetti sauce for not wanting to be baby factories"
"It's your job to be a mommy that can't feed her baby!"
"Your uterus belongs to us! Resistance is futile!"
Any other ideas? What do you think of a counter protest?
Tags: abortion, anti-choicers, clinic, counter, funny, harrassment, parody, pro-lifers, protest, protesters, More…signs
I think it depends on when and where you do it. Counter-protests outside of abortion clinics seems like it would exacerbate the issue for women who are already having difficulty going in. It would draw more noise and attention to something that deserves some respect and privacy.
well said
I once marched at the head of a "pro-life" parade with some friends. We carried a banner reading, "Idiots Next Half Mile."
join their protest or make a counter one with parody signs.
Brilliant and hilarious! Almost a shame we don't have protesters at our abortion clinics in Australia.
I want to prevent the destruction of little 1/2 inch long babies that look like miniature aliens with tales and lizard stuff
tails*... unless the spelling mistake was part of the parody?
You're evil if you want to destroy tiny brainless blobs that won't notice their own death
In the words of NOFX: "Clam's have feelings too!"
Another thing you could is to quote other bible passages contradicting the message of the original protesters....Gaytor just posted this: http://www.thinkatheist.com/profiles/blogs/where-life-actually-begi...
Kris is probably right though... don't want to draw more attention to the abortion clinic protesters... maybe you could lure them away?
I once marched with pro-lifers outside a clinic with a big sign reading "Sex After Menopause is Disgusting and Sinful" (Pope Paul X)
Sign idea:Life is a sexually transmitted disease with 100% mortality.

Like life at the edge of a desert, price of democracy in Egypt is harsh
GIZA, Egypt – Every time some kid imagines that he is a revolutionary and throws a stone or fire bomb in Egypt, Ahmed Kinawy quietly rages at the price he and many of his countrymen pay for Egypt's tumultuous variant of the Arab Spring.
"The violence at Tahrir Square, the presidential palace and now Port Said really brings us down a lot," the 33-year-old tour guide said as he took a pair of forlorn tourists around the pyramids at Giza, which emerge out of the desert on the southwest edge of Cairo. "Where I used to bring one or two groups around here every day I often go four of five days now without a single tourist. I am earning about 70 per cent less than I used to.
"The revolutionaries claim to be acting this way because they love our country but they really only love themselves."
Because the government may be cooking the books, it has been difficult to get an accurate idea of how much tourism has declined as the result of two years of street violence and political upheaval. That unrest began with the downfall of military strongman Hosni Mubarak and continues with bitter secularist and Christian opposition to the democratically elected Islamist government of President Mohammad Morsi.
However, in a country of 91 million where nearly half the population survives on less than two dollars a day and about one in eight of those with a job works in the tourism industry, there have been devastating losses.
Officially, the number of tourists has dropped 32 per cent since the troubles began. But those numbers included all foreign visitors, not just tourists. Half a million Libyans who fled the fighting there were lumped in with bona fide tourists. So were Palestinians, now able to more easily use the Gaza crossing from the West Bank and thousands of Sudanese escaping the war there.
Tourism revenues plummeted from nearly $12 billion a year to a little more than $9 billion over the past two years, according to the finance ministry. The cost to the economy since the revolt began two years ago this January is $267-million a week.
Tourist spending had dipped by about 30 per cent, to $72 a day between 2010 and 2011. This can partly be explained by intense discounting by hotels and tour operator trying desperately to remain in business. Yet another factor that has contributed to this decline is that Europeans, who have long been the backbone of Egyptian tourism, have been reeling from serious economic problems of their own.
Nor has it helped that the Egyptian pound has lost 8 per cent of its value against the American dollar since the beginning of the year or that the IMF has been withholding since December nearly $5 billion in critically needed loans because of instability and the government's reluctance to slash spending and bring in economic reforms. Meanwhile, the deficit has risen 37 per cent in the past six months alone. With so many bills unpaid, subsidized fuel is in such short supply that drivers wait for days outside gas stations to fill their tanks.
With western and Arab media transfixed by daily riots, Egypt's image as a tourist destination is not likely to improve any time soon. More than 60 people were killed in street violence last week. The army was called out and curfews were imposed on three cities along the Suez Canal, although they were largely ignored by protesters.
Daily violence in and near Cairo's Tahrir Square and the bridges that cross the Nile have regularly caused monumental traffic jams in a city already cursed with some of the most congested roads in the world. Canada and the US, among other western countries, have closed their embassies at times because violence has erupted on their doorsteps. In another blow, the lobby of the capital's landmark, five-star Semiramis InterContinental Hotel was pillaged by dozens of thieves last weekend. Fortunately army special forces commandos arrived in the nick of time to prevent the gang from gaining access to the floors above where guests had been asleep.
The persistent images of tear gas, water cannons and mobs screaming slogans have had a predictable effect on the fleets of posh cruise vessels that work on the Nile. Most of them have been tied up for months. Occupancy rates at many of Cairo's best hotels are well below 50 per cent. Where tourists once had to run a long gauntlet of aggressive hawkers lurking below the necropolis at Giza, the pickings are now so slim at one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World that only a few dozen touts now even bother to show up.
"The workers in this country live off tourists' tips and all those pictures of trouble keep tourists away," Ahmed Kinawy said as he walked a horse and a camel up to the largest of the three pyramids, as he always has since leaving school when he was 16.
Asked whether the revolution has been worth it, Kinawy slowly smiled and said that on balance it probably is because Egyptians have more freedom.
"But I am not really sure that Egypt is ready for democracy," he said. "Some Egyptians understand it. Many don't. Democracy has cost us a lot."

Animal and I make fun of its attributes that are rotten person any that is where you bought -- comes out today his new book is called the joy of hate how to triumph over whiners.
In the age of phony outrage Greg Gutfeld is with us now -- -- you.
Great to be here it's great to have you much I don't mean that this idea.
Is that TV talk to Tony outrage emanates predominantly from the lefties that.
Right -- that big they operate under the guise of tolerance in order to shut she well so -- it basically it's -- vote.
Anger at everything that you say it debt to score points politically -- -- an example -- -- I had some yeah.
Some -- on the ball let me ask you this immediately set up the election for example if you were let's.
You voted for President Obama did that today her -- her raid -- But then -- 2012.
You're not voting for a ban you're probably racist.
That's under the guise of tolerance because in the in the world open mindedness anytime that you deviate from the the -- the ideology of the -- of the left -- considered a big it.
And so you have you eat that you find yourself trying to explain no maybe I don't like his policies -- like.
Yeah right we know -- you really feel that's up phony -- is in -- -- -- tolerance works I call it that Colorado -- which is a group of taller products Colorado to people who claim to be tolerant.
When in fact when he -- conservative or libertarian the heat shield but he -- the mantle of tolerance as a guy -- intolerance that.
Well how did you get the steady Q.
And you don't hear how did you get sped from the city -- -- do you bad and I've been living together for three year.
Actually I don't think his light -- it's not bad yeah yeah.
If you -- -- -- online but it's not up yet I told and go back to bed at the double standard is this one rings true with -- with regard to religion it's okay to make fun of Christians yes but not other religion.
Flooding let's look at that there's that you -- do the book of Mormon I I I live near the weather would bookmark please people come out they love it it's a Larry it's fantastic but of course if you do -- where's Mohammed -- All the people to talk about tolerance.

Near -- -- the World Trade Center remains you know there are considerate and Elizabeth Phillips took about let's talk about the the movement of the Occupy Movement compared to the Tea Party movement that -- up to me the impetus by white guy of your intellect writes a book like that yet isn't that it drove it mean that's an immediate and part.
-- drove most of this because they see themselves in the romantic ideals of the Occupy Movement when in fact it.
Everything about the Occupy Movement was attack on American values where as the Tea Party celebrated smaller government and basically individual liberty which to them.
To a reporter to the media reminds them of their parents.
-- Occupy Wall Street reminds them of the romantic selves that never really -- -- Hasn't -- so they elevate these people that are basically soiling the streets while insulting people.
Third that actually have jobs and work for a living -- we say that the Tea Party people they never break windows because they own the windows -- but your book is about how to triumph over whiners.
You kind of are whining yourself with -- -- I IE you're absolutely right in fact that -- that in the book that I'm as guilty as this and I tried to temper it with humor.
You know that you always have to we knew we start to get angry you have to stop ago.
This is stupid like if you look for example if -- online.
And you're getting -- comments on website.
That you've got to get out leave the room and go talk about actual human being I -- I don't have any friends you bet you know why don't TV -- not.
