Like many other grand old ladies, there seems to be a little discrepancy about how old the St. Olaf Lutheran Church really is.
Yet plans are formalized, now, to celebrate St. Olaf's 125th birthday this weekend in Devils Lake on Sunday, July 15.
For this week only because of the celebration, both worship services, the 8:30 a.m. and the 11 a.m., will be held in St. Olaf with Bishop Rindy. Normally the 8:30 a.m. service is held on the banks of Devils Lake at the Retreat Center.
Between the services there will be a time of coffee and fellowship in the lower level of the church.
At 12 p.m. the celebration continues with a free picnic in Ruger Park. On the menu will be roast pork, hot dogs, salads, beans, coffee, lemonade and cake.
After lunch there will be a time of socializing and story sharing with games for people of all ages.
At 1:30 p.m. there will be the official burning of the mortgage as the congregation retires the loan from the last major remodeling project.
An eight-member committee has been working for several months putting together Sunday's celebration.
In the memento booklet titled Centennial History of St. Olaf Lutheran Church, which was celebrated June 26 - 28 in 1987, it says that the church was formally organized July 20, 1885, that would make her 127 years old in 2012.
It goes on to add that as many as five congregations constituted the parish at the turn of the century - St. Olaf, Ringsaker, Bethlehem, Vernes and Zion. By 1920 only Vernes and St. Olaf remained, the others meeting various fates.
"As early as 1887, the congregation began to plan for a church edifice". . . an early history records, "On November 23, 1887, a meeting of the congregation reported that pledges in the amount of $443 had been secured and that there were several others who would give when asked."
Building operations began May of 1888 and the finished church was officially dedicated January 27, 1902.
During the years of planning and building the church, it was "the Ladies Aid who were largely responsible for payment of obligations incurred for lumber and hardware." writes Mrs. E.O. Tuneberg in a history she authored about St. Olaf's early days.
St. Olaf became one of the first churches in the country to broadcast its worship services over the then new medium of radio on KDLR October 11, 1925.
The original church was located diagonally across the street from where St. Olaf is located presently. Ground was broken for a new church - built when the congregation outgrew its first home - on Sunday, April 6, 1930, it was completed that summer and dubbed "the cathedral on the prairie." It was dedicated on Sunday, Oct. 17, 1930.
Although it was first the depression and then the war years, through its members' hard work and dedication the mortgage on the church building was paid off and celebrated by a joyous mortgage burning ceremony on Dec. 12, 1943.

The Norway Lutheran Church merged with St. Olaf in 1968. The vacated building was moved to its new location on the shore of Devils Lake in 1975 and after much remodeling it serves as the St. Olaf Retreat Center. A fieldstone cairn was built and evergreens mark the spot where it sat on the hill 10 miles west of Devils Lake north of Highway 19 at the Grahams Island turn in Pelican Township. On the bronze plaque on the cairn it reads "Mission Accomplished."
St. Olaf's accessibilty addition was begun in 1986 bringing a street-level entrance, cloak room, foyer, spacious restrooms, storage space, more place for group meetings and gatherings and an elevator.
The latest project which remodeled the lower level Fellowship Hall and a completely remodeled sanctuary was completed and rededicated in April of 2007.
Celebrating 125 years
"At age 100, St. Olaf was still very much Norwegian-American in its view of itself. It was a faithful member of the American Lutheran Church (ALC) which had been created in 1960 by a merger of the Hauge Synod (est. 1876), the Norwegian Synod (est. 1853), the United Norwegian Lutheran Church of America (est. 1890), the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church, and the Lutheran Free Church. Most of the governing structures of our St. Olaf congregation had been derived from these immigrant roots. But that was coming to an end.
In 1986 the last Convention of the American Lutheran Church was held, and at that convention a new church was formed. A merger of the American Lutheran Church (ALC), the Lutheran Church in America (LCA) and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches (AELC) created the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), and because of this merger, and St. Olaf's acceptance of it, our congregation became a new congregation. We are now both 125 and 25 years old.
Today, the ELCA is an energized church composed of over five million members and nearly 10,500 congregations across the U.S. and Caribbean, and it reflects the rich and diverse heritage of the people it serves. St. Olaf Lutheran Church shares in that rich and diverse heritage. Today we celebrate that complex community that we have become, and we celebrate both the challenges and the successes that have strengthened us," writes Russ Pearson for the memento booklet planned for the 125th "Memories from 25 Years at St. Olaf Lutheran Church - a meditation on Psalm 100."
Pastor Jeff Nicla and the people of St. Olaf Lutheran church invite all members to attend the upcoming celebrations including those who are active members and those who have not been active in a long time - come home.
Nicla adds, this special celebration is open to the entire community of Devils Lake. "We welcome any and all in the community to come and experience worship with our community and to help us joyfully give thanks and praise to our God for all God has done for us!"
Page 3 of 3 - "I have now been at St. Olaf for three years. In that time I have just begun to know many of the people who are leaders in this church. These people, and the greater Devils Lake community, have welcomed me, and my family, in many special ways. We truly feel a part of this place and for that we are grateful to God.
I have found the people of St. Olaf to be unique. While being a welcoming congregation they are open to change, which is a huge gift! We specialize in blending the old with the new in our style of worship. We are constantly seeking to find new ways to serve each other and the community.
If you are interested in us at all come and worship with us this Sunday. For those who may be interested in membership please call the church office (701-662-4911), we will be receiving new members in late August or September."

Australia Immigration Information
Australia has always enjoyed a rather high place in the hearts of the discerning Indian migrants, rightfully so. In case you also are motivated with the idea of Australia immigration, you would really do well to find-out how to immigrate to Australia from India, and the primary visa requirements that you will have to fulfill before you eventually present a petition for immigration to Australia.
Perhaps, you will be glad to know that the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) offers and manages more than a 100 permit sub streams duly categorized as permanent, provisional, or temporary to the aspirants of practically all types.
Every skilled migration procedure is presently run and administered by Skill Select—an innovative online facility to facilitate and improve the Australia immigration process. Skill Select has provided Oz a successful tool to watch the inflow of the skills given in the Skilled Professions Tabulations –the SOL and the CSOL.
Despite the fact that it's an established truth that the present chapter of the migration arrangement is more Australia centric, in case closely observed, some basic characteristics of this regime help the migrants and proffer them a great degree of relief from many mind-numbing procedures related to skilled migration.
The implementation of Skill Select has been duly complimented by simplification and expansion of numerous classifications, streams, and subsections into one compact but all-inclusive platform. Every trained profession scheme has now been bought within the purview of this one single window clearance, i.e., Federal, Regional, and Employer sponsorship. In the said platform it is essential that you generate an electronic profile- EOI.
Prior to generating your profile, you require to completing some preliminaries:
- Explore SOL or CSOL: To discover trade exactly comparable or closely associated with your specific line-of-work.
- Credentials assessment: Post choosing the fitting trade, it is vital that you get your academic &professional credentials duly appraised from a certified evaluation bureau, to ascertain the strength of your skilled profile in the Australian context.
- Language stipulations: Corroborating your linguistic skills as per the preferred Australian standards, via the selected language examinations, e.g., IELTS.
The preliminaries should be concluded well in advance for two specific reasons:
- During the formation of your EOI, you ought to present this data and your profile is given marks on the basis of points-assessment (this is decisive in case you opt for independent migration where highest slotted profile is favored).
- In case your EOI is chosen, you get not more than 60 days to conclude the requirements, failing which the invite is withdrawn and the wonderful opportunity lost. Post completing the said requirements, you can generate your profile. At the time of generating your profile, you can opt for the passage of migration, i.e., Independent migration, Skilled, Business, Investment, Provincial endorsement, and Employer sponsorship.
You can choose multiple plans via one EOI even as it will be visible for the schemes and to the parties you prefer. The EOI is stored for a period of two years and can be updated as and when needed.
It is vital that you furnish bona fide information since the same will form part of your submission, in case your profile is chosen. In a situation wherein something is found against the details originally provided, you could be subjected to some serious repercussions; you could even be prevented from moving to the country.
If you choose:
Point scheme: Your profile is ranked and an invite is sent accordingly on the basis of the ranks being considered at the said time.
Sponsorship (State or employer):Your profile is visible to the firms/recruiters you have opted for in your EOI and are invited based on their judgment.
On being short-listed, you are asked to present a submission: You get 60 days for presenting the submission. In case you are unable to abide by the stipulated orders and time-period, the offer is deemed withdrawn.

Return of Sarmila Bose
Sarmila Bose, a denier of rape committed by Pakistani military and an apologist for Pakistani atrocities in East Pakistan in 1971, returns with (perhaps with more distortions) her new book ŌĆśŌĆśDead Reckoning: Memories of the 1971 Bangladesh WarŌĆÖŌĆÖ scheduled to be discussed at the Woodrow Wilson Centre in Washington DC, on March 15, 2011. Around 2005-06, she was widely rebutted for her distorted views on the Liberation War in an article ŌĆ£Anatomy of Violence: Analysis of Civil War in East Pakistan in 1971ŌĆØ published in the Oct 8, 2005 issue of the Economic and Political Weekly. (i)
In the article, while Sarmila Bose rightly pointed out that ŌĆ£there has been little systematic study of the violent conflicts during the nine-month long civil war,ŌĆØ she and others (see, e.g. Bose, 2005; and Mohaiemen, 2008) (ii), so-called ŌĆśself-righteousŌĆÖ truth seekers appear to be filling the vacuum in rewriting, revising, and, even, twisting the history of Liberation War on their own volition, based largely on selective references, reports published by Pakistan government in 1971, and the eye-witness accounts of the Pakistani military officials.
For example, both Bose and Mohaiemen termed the 1971 crisis in East Pakistan as ŌĆścivil warŌĆÖ although the 1971 crisis is most commonly referred to in Bangladesh as either Liberation War (or Mukti Juddho) or Independence War (Shadinota Juddho). The use of the term ŌĆścivil warŌĆÖ in reference to 1971 in East Pakistan is an attempt to ŌĆ£deflect the attention from its genocidal connotationŌĆØ as argued by Mookherjee (2006) in a rebuttal to Sarmila BoseŌĆÖs article (iii). Indeed, instead of referring to such analyses as being ŌĆ£a systematic analysis of the context and nature of violence in the conflict of 1971,ŌĆØ as Sarmila Bose claimed, one must reject such articles as systematic attempt to discount the severity of the brutal assault of Pakistani military on Bengali people.
In her article, she claimed that (a) ŌĆ£The civil war was not merely between the two wings of Pakistan, but also within the territory of East Pakistan, between Bengalis and non-Bengalis, and Bengalis themselves, who were bitterly divided between those who favoured independence for Bangladesh and those who supported the unity and integrity of Pakistan,ŌĆØ (b) the atrocity in East Pakistan was provoked by the resistance of Bengali nationalists, (c) violence committed by both sides with Bengalis attacking Biharis at the beginning of the war, provoking Pakistani military and Bihari reprisals followed by Bengali retribution against Biharis toward the end of the war and afterwards, and (d) no evidence of rape of Bengali women by Pakistani Military could be found.
Her prevarication reflected in her: constant and deliberate attempt to depict Pakistani military officials as compassionate individuals, apparently, to deflect the severity of genocide committed by Pakistani military on the Bengali populace; heavy emphasis on Bengali atrocities on Biharis; deliberate and frequent use of the word ŌĆśmaleŌĆÖ to discount the violence against women; use of the phrase ŌĆ£collective punishmentŌĆØ to justify mass killings of Pakistani atrocities; frequently terming the ŌĆśfreedom fightersŌĆÖ as ŌĆśBengali nationalist rebelsŌĆÖ to deflect attention from the broader historical, cultural, social, political, and economic context of West Pakistani discrimination behind the Liberation War; and, the use of specific example based on selective references, reports published by West Pakistani regime, and interviews of former Pakistani military commanders to deny the broader perspective of the West Pakistani military atrocities.
The review of only one study, by Beachler (2007), containing an objective analysis of the Liberation War, would expose her distorted views and undoubtedly prompt one to throw the 16-page contorted analysis of the Liberation War into the historical recycle bin. (iv)
Sarmila BoseŌĆÖs views of the Liberation War remind the author of the denials by a group of academia of the major genocides in world history including the Holocaust and the Armenian genocide. In ŌĆ£Why deniers deny?ŌĆØ, Charny, a leading scholar on Genocide studies, wrote in 2001, that ŌĆ£ŌĆ" deniers are not necessarily rabid anti-some people, like anti-Semites and haters of Armenians, but may more simply be out for their personal gain, economic advantage, or even more simply career advantage — research grants imply a combination both of financial resources as well as opportunities to engage in research in desired settings.ŌĆØ (v)1
In another article, Charny and Fromer (1990, 1998) presented five ŌĆ£conceptual characteristics of ŌĆśinnocent denialŌĆÖ.ŌĆØ Among the five, one referred to as ŌĆśInnocence-and-Self-RighteousnessŌĆÖ appears to fit the profile of Sarmila Bose. According to this feature of denial, ŌĆ£The respondents claim that they only intend to ascertain the truth. Moreover, they do not believe that human beings could have been so evil as the descriptions of the genocide imply (as reflected in Sarmila BoseŌĆÖs defence for Pakistani military officials). Furthermore, even if many deaths took place a long time ago, it is important to put them aside now and forgive and forget (similarly, Sarmila Bose proposed, in the last sentence of her article, ŌĆ£efforts towards reconciliation, rather than the recrimination that has so far been its hallmark .ŌĆØ).(vi)
Sarmila Bose derives her credibility from her being affiliated with multitudes of renowned organisations, being a Hindu of Indian origin, and being a Harvard graduate. However, her apparent objectivity, true intentions, and wisdom are exposed in her passionate defence for Pakistani cause reflected in a co-authored article published in ŌĆśChristian Science MonitorŌĆÖ on April 11, 2005(vii). In the article, not only did she defend the US sale of F-16 to Pakistan, but she also referred to Pakistan as a stable Muslim democracy and praised former military ruler General Musharraf as a moderniser.

Isolation of rare cells from peripheral blood may be helpful either in the detection of circulating tumor cells and directing aggressiveness of therapy, or it can be helpful for prenatal diagnosis by the enrichment of fetal cells from maternal blood. The major limit of detection rare cells using magnetic beads is primarily influenced by the non-specific binding of non-target cells. The depletion of non-target cells is considered an important prerequisite for rare cells detection.

In this study, we examined and compared the depletion efficiency of CD45 cell from peripheral blood samples using two different forms of immunomagnetic separation technology namely: the Cell enrichment process (CEPir) and DynaMAG technology.

Our results indicate significantly lower number of CD45 cells in negative fractions using the CEPir technology. Moreover, the CD45 depletion efficiency was found to be higher in CEPir technology when compared with the DynaMAG.

Negative selection is a promising approach for isolation of rare cells, we concluded that the negative selection (depletion) of leukocytes using CD45 marker is an effective pre-enrichment step for the detection of rare cells using CEPir technology. Further studies are required to validate its efficacy at capturing specific rare cells for downstream application.

The development of a tumor has a strong relationship with cellular immunity mediated by T lymphocytes. Some research showed that mangiferin can increase host immunity but its scientific base was still unclear. The purpose of this study was to explain the role of mangiferin as an immunostimulator on in vitro T lymphocytes culture of mammary tumor bearing mice. T lymphocytes were isolated from the spleen of mice after two weeks of mammary tumor transplantation. The isolation was performed by using sterile nylon net and passed through nylon wool. Isolated T lymphocytes were cultured in vitro on RPMI 1640 medium. The culture of T lymphocytes was divided into three groups containing 5, 25 and 50 mg/L of mangiferin, and a control group (RPMI medium). The proportion of T lymphocytes and IL-2Rα (CD25) expressed T cells were evaluated using immunoflouorescens techniques after one and three days of lymphocytes cultures. Our study showed that 5, 25 and 50 mg/L mangiferin was effective to enhance IL-2Rα (CD25) on T lymphocytes culture and T lymphocytes prolifferation.

Seed tubers are expensive, bulky and the multiplication rate in the field is very low. Shortage of seed tubers for planting is one of the major constraints for yam production in Ethiopia. No information is available on micropropagation of Dioscorea spp. in Ethiopia. To overcome such problem, the current study was, initiated to optimize type and concentration of plant growth regulators for shoot multiplication and rooting. Shoot multiplication and rooting in vitro were carried out using a completely randomized design with five replications. For shoot multiplication, shoots initiated from nodal cuttings were treated with BAP in combination with NAA. For rooting, the micro-shoots were transferred to ½ MS media containing NAA and IBA. Data on number of shoots per explant, roots per shoot and related growth parameters were recorded and statistically analyzed. The results showed that MS media supplemented with 1.5 mg/l BAP + 0.15 mgl-1 NAA gave an average of 6.40 ± 0.28 shoots per explant with a mean shoot length of 2.0±0.11 cm. MS supplemented with BAP (1.0 mg l-l) and NAA (0.15 mg l-l) gave 5.40 ± 0.28 with a mean shoot length of 1.84 ± 0.20 cm. Plantlets grown on half strength MS media supplemented with 2.0 mg l-l NAA and 0.5 mg l-l IBA produced 5.7 ± 0.27 roots per plantlet and an average root length of 4.63±0.23 cm. Thus MS + 1.5 mgl-1 BAP + 0.15 mg l-l NAA and 1/2 MS +2.0 mg l-l NAA + 0.5 mgl-1 IBA is the best hormone combination for shoot multiplication and in vitro rooting respectively.

The occurrence of boron toxicity becomes a major constraint in cereal production in the world, thus cause significant yield loss particularly in wheat, one of the most susceptible crops to boron toxicity. Development of tolerant variety is now of utmost importance since agronomic management of soil boron is becoming ineffective to mitigate the toxicity. Due to narrow genetic base of the existing wheat cultivars, genetic variation for this character was poorly reported. The present study was devoted to identify such variation by using two different genetic background of wheat including Aegilops and Triticum, which could be readily used in wheat breeding program. Morphological and genetic screening revealed that two species Ae. longissima and Ae. sharonensis expressed tolerance against boron toxicity. The molecular marker analysis such as unweighted pair group method and principal coordinate analysis confirmed these two species to be more tolerant to excessive boron with higher root length. Their derivatives genotypes TL-09 and TL-17 were found to explained considerable tolerance to boron. On other hand, among the SSR markers used, Xgwm192 was the most robust in identifying boron tolerance polymorphism. The diversity and variability observed in this work could open new avenue in developing B toxicity tolerant wheat variety.

The large-scale use of biodiesel has shown significant environmental benefits as regards the reduction of global warming impacts. The increased generation of glycerol, the main byproduct of the reaction, makes necessary to propose alternatives to its use. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate raw glycerol (RG), a byproduct from biodiesel synthesis, as a carbon source for the cultivation of bacteria recognized as exopolysaccharides (EPSs) producers, compared with sucrose (S) and with a mixture of both components in a ratio of 1:1 w:w (SRG). The bacteria used were: Xanthomonas campestris pv. mangiferaeindicae IBSBF 1230, Pseudomonas oleovorans NRRL B-14683, Sphingomonas capsulata NRRL B-4261 and Zymomonas mobilis NRRL B-4286. All bacteria were capable of growing and producing EPSs using RG as the sole carbon source. For X. campestris, EPSs concentration of around 4.00 g L-1 was found for the different carbon sources tested. For P. oleovorans, only the medium composed by S (0.85 g L-1) differed from the other media, with better results being found using RG and SRG. S. capsulata showed higher concentration in the medium containing S and SRG, around 3.40 g L-1, and in the medium containing RG this value decreased to 1.70 g L-1. Z. mobilis, on the other hand, showed a better result using SRG (1.41 g L-1), and in the medium containing S and RG, these values were lower, reaching 0.27 and 0.77 g L-1, respectively.

Arc's multitasker.
Arc'teryx made the Atom LT Hooded Insulation Jacket versatile for year-round mountain adventures from climbing to skiing. Its Tinthan shell is light yet durable, and the DWR coating sheds rainfall to help keep you dry on hikes and backpacking trips. Breathable Polartec Power Stretch side panels make sure you can move around with complete freedom of motion, whether you're wearing it as a midlayer or an external shell. Synthetic Coreloft insulation retains its warmth in wet weather, and the adjustable StormHood slides over helmets with ease. Arc'teryx also added an adjustable hem, a zippered internal pocket, and two zippered hand pockets for your convenience.

The Atom LT Taking In The North Rim
I bought my first Atom LT in Courmayeur while walking Tour du Mont Blanc. I loved it so much I bought another when I returned home.
I am trying to decide between the hood or no hood. Definitely plan to use it under my shell for skiing which is where the hood could be annoying. But for other things where I use it as an outer layer (belaying mostly and/or hiking) the hood may be nice. Is the hood annoying under a coat or is it not too bad?
Alex Drinkwater, Employee
I have the hooded version and use it as a midlayer under my shell for skiing, it doesn't bother me. I can tuck the hood into the shell hood and I don't even notice it. The hood is definitely worth having, especially on a cold night to keep your head and face warm.

Nice light weight insulated jacket that adds the right amount of warmth and protection. Use it with just a t-shirt on crisp New England fall days, throw it on under my shell on snowy cold ski days and could not be happier. Really seems to always have the Goldilocks balance, not too hot, not too cold, just right. Got it off SAC for a great deal, if something was to happen to it I would repurchase for full price though, it is that much of a go to.
Hi, I'm 181 cm / 73kg / 95 cm chest.
Would you recommend a Medium or a Small?
Bill Porreca, Gearhead
The chest measurement is the best to go off of when picking out jackets. The small will actually be a perfect fit for you if you want to wear the jacket the way it was intended to be worn which is athletic or slightly tighter for people climbing in it. If you want a much more relaxed fit then the medium is an option but, I feel that it would be way to big as the small chest measurement fits best for people at 97cm.
If you have anymore questions feel free to send me an email or call!

Atom LT Hooded Insulated Jacket
Was Skeptical-Now a Believer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 8"Weight: 135 lbsSize Purchased: Small
Switching up a layering system is always an adventure. Got this jacket through my guiding outfit. Though its light on the insulation, this jacket really is fantastic for moderately cold days, or cold days and high output activities. The shell lightly repels moisture and the insulation doesnt seem to get bogged down when it gets a little wet. On ultra cold sub zero days I was able to wear this under a shell while ski touring without overheating. The jacket does a great job of dissipating heat. It packs into its own pocket and is super light. The hood is pretty amazing too. I had good luck fitting this under or over a helmet! Bonus! Pockets where you want them and just the right size. This jacket is function meets form. Couldn't be happier, but not my go to for lower output activities in the frigid cold.

Couldn't agree more with what has been said about the Arc'Teryx Atom LT Hooded Insulated Jacket. This jacket is one of the pieces I use most when outdoors. It is light, warm and breathes well when exercising heats up your body. Synthetic insulation means it performs well when wet or when I get sweaty. My most common uses are for fall hikes or as a mid-layer in winter while snowboarding. This is a must-own jacket
Atom LT - genius

Height: 5' 9"Weight: 150 lbsSize Purchased: Medium
As others have said, this is light, warm without being too hot and breathes well during exercise. So light on that it's easy to forget you're wearing it. Highly recommended.
Is there a jacket similar to this but more waterproof? Open to other brands. thanks!
With the DWR treatment this tends to shed rain about as well as a softshell. If you're looking for full waterproofing you'll probably want to look to a hardshell. If you're looking for light versatile layers I like the Patagonia Alpine Houdini as something to get on quick when the wet gets insistent.
Bill Porreca, Gearhead
I agree Alan! I think a jacket like this pairs perfectly with the Alpine Houdini, or Beta SL if you wanted to stay within the Arcteryx brand.
I am 5'10 and 175 with an athletic build - what size would you recommend? Thanks!
I'm 5'10" 185lbs and like my XL. I have large shoulders and find the XL allows full range of movement without binding or feeling loose/bulky. I typically layer it over a wool base layer.
One jacket to rule them all
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
If I could only have one jacket of any kind, this would be it. The Atom LT is incredibly warm for the weight and has a great performance fit, without being too tight. It packs down very small and will repel quite a bit of moisture, especially when properly treated with a new coat of Nikwax.
I wear this jacket...
-around the house over a tshirt
-to/from work
-inside my sleeping bag on cold nights
-under a bigger puffy on really cold days
-over a Patagonia R1 while ice climbing
-under a hardshell on windy, snowy ski days
Very minor negative: the hood is a great size for going over helmets but has no ability to cinch down. I think this is the right conscious decision by Arc'teryx: keep the weight down and keep the product more simple. However, if you want a jacket to use hooded + sans helmet + moving fast, you will likely be happier with something else. I often use a Patagonia Nano Air in that situation.

A do it all midlayer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 7"Weight: 145 lbsSize Purchased: Medium
I bought this jacket a year ago with high expectations after reading so many great reviews. This jacket met them all.
I bought it primarily for skiing. The hood fits great around a helmet, the tight cuffs stay out of the way. High breathability means I don't over heat when skinning up.
I also use it for hiking and climbing, among other things. I wash it roughly every 10 days of use. Not because it's dirty or smelly, I do it to replenish the DWR. The DWR is adequate in a light drizzle, which is all I ask for from a midlayer. After a year of solid use I see no noticeable signs of wear.
The pockets are great. The two outside ones are perfectly placed and the inside one is handy for valuables. I love the main zipper on this jacket, it is amazingly smooth, it never catches. The fit is great, for both the torso and the arms. It is insanely comfortable, I even use it as a pillow when camping. I'd say the price is fair for this jacket. It's lightweight and compressibility make it an essential for backpacking.
Overall, it's one of my favourite pieces of gear. I've never regretted bringing it anywhere and I'd buy another if I lost it. Go buy it!
How would you compare the warmth of this jacket to that of Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer or another similar down jacket?
Spencer Oliphant, Employee
I think my Ghost Whisperer might be slightly warmer than my Atom.
The warmth of any down jacket is going to be directly related to the loft. Thicker = Warmer. Note - Fill Power is a measure of how light and packable the down is. This is where the Ghost Whisperer blows most jackets out of the water.
The atom still has an advantage in a lot of areas, however. It's more comfortable, I like the way it breathes better, I like the hood better, it's more abrasion resistant and it moves better. It's also going to do better in wet weather being that it's a synthetic. The Ghost Whisperer is still going to win in the lightweight and packable categories however so if that's your priority, then the ghost whisperer may be the way to go.
The atom is probably the best jacket for 85% of situations and a favorite of a lot of people I've worked with over the years in this industry. I think everyone should have (at least) one.

This is the most essential insulation piece in my closet. The clean look of it makes it an easy jacket to wear, the side panels are great for active wear. The hood cinches perfectly for your head. you lose no visibility when the hood is on. Every feature of this jacket is well thought out and executed.
Go to piece of kit!

Height: 5' 10"Weight: 150 lbsSize Purchased: Medium
All the other reviewers hit the nail on the head. This is one of my favorite pieces of kit. I am always reaching for this jacket. It is a toasty mid-layer, but manages heat and moisture well. It has Arcteryx's athletic fit. If you want to layer it over a few other pieces I would recommend maybe sizing up. This is one of my all-time favorite jackets!
Why is "rusted copper" a shade of orange? Shouldn't it be a shade of green? Just sayin'.
Rusted is describing a shade of the color copper, not a piece of copper that has rusted. Just sayin'.
Guess if they come out with "rusted iron" it will just be a shade of gray then.

Loved it so much i bought another
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I initially bought the Atom LT jacket, but after a couple years of good use i decided to ante up and buy the hooded version. This is my favorite insulation layer. It is so lightweight and for its weight really packs a punch as far as the warmth that it provides. This is also the most comfortable jacket that I have ever tried on, it is so light that you barely feel like you are wearing anything, and its anatomical fit moves with your body perfectly. The fleece panels on the sides and under the arm pits allow for stretchy mobility, as well as allow you to bleed off excess heat if you are exercising. This pairs well with a gore tex ski shell for most average temperature ski days (right around 32 degrees) and the placement of the fleece panels line up perfectly with your pit zips to allow you to bleed heat when necessary. Overall this is a phenomenal jacket that I would recommend to anyone.
The piece I plan my other layers around
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 10"Weight: 185 lbsSize Purchased: XL
When I play I sweat, just the way it is. Big soppy mess that's me.
Fleece jackets would frequently get too warm, are heavier, don't compress much, and are frequently too absorbent. Best planned as a mid-layer due to complete lack of wind resistance, but this means you're wearing a shell too so not great to depend on for active wear.
Shell jackets become a sauna when on the go. Save them for the coldest/most insistent wind or rain, their hoods will also seal you off from the rest of the world.
Softshell jackets seem to combine the the best and the worst of shell and fleece jackets with less flexible utility than separate pieces. You'll likely still want to carry a waterproof shell and maybe a lighter sweater when you need a touch of warmth working hard, all increasing overall pack size/weight.
Down jackets lose all functionality when they get wet and most have no resistance to moisture from inside even if they do have dwr treatment outside. Save them for sitting around when you have kitchen duty or otherwise can't move around to keep warm.
The Atom is my perfect go everywhere layer.
Great balance of wind resistance where I want it but highly breathable where the heat gets dumped.
Synthetic insulation is warm, remains warm when wet, and dries quickly.
Water resistant (treated) exterior panels will shed a light shower.
Functional hood that is less "crunchy" around the ears so you might actually be able to hear your partner when its up.
Crazy light.
Packs to roughly the volume of a 1L nalgene, but frequently better not to compress it down and just stuff it around in top of pack then it takes up near zero space, is readily accessible, and can help keep gear dry.
Small and tough enough to stuff in your avy shovel pocket or just under a pack strap and not worry about it until you want it again.
On top of perfect functionality, this piece has worn fantastically. After a year and a half of rock climbs, mountaineering trips, hikes, backpacks, morning warms ups, and cruising around town the only difference I can identify is a bit of that synthetic funk and even that's not really noticeable after a good wash with oxy clean.
A baselayer (selected based on conditions) + the atom + 3L gore shell is my go to system for everything (summer overnight desert trips to spring backpacking to winter mountaineering) below 0F I add my Marmot Ama Dablam (as a mid) for hours running the stove. So far what this system doesn't handle whiskey makes unimportant :).

Would really recommend this stay, its really well located in a great zone in Sao Paulo.
The apartment is in a great location and had everything we needed for our short stay.
the apartment is very well located, very comfortable the " laundry " service is very helpful is very effective.
Matheus & Renato, thank you very much, you are great hosts and provide high-quality service!
The building has a pool on the terrace and you will get a killer view of Sao Paulo from there.
Todo muy bien. Tuvimos un problema en nuestra llegada ;ya que la persona encargada de entregarnos el apartamento ; se confundio y nos entrego uno que no correspondia y estaba sin preparar , sucio y desordenado. Inmediatamente llame a Renato y nos pidio disculpas y ,en menos de media hora; nos ubico en otro edificio y en un apartamento hermoso,limpio y con todas las comodidades. Como le dije a Renato; a cualquiera le puede pasar que haya habido un mal entendido, pero el lo (website hidden) inmediato y estuvo siempre diapuesto a ayudar. Gracias Renato y recomiendo alojarse en sus apartamentos. Yo sin duda volvere en mi proximo viaje. Gracias.
Desde o primeiro contato os anfitriões foram extremamente solícitos.
O apto é exatamente como nas fotos e a localização é perfeito.
Próximo da Av. Paulista e dos melhores restaurantes.
Condomínio tranquilo e aconchegante.
Obrigado pelos dias tranquilos que passamos aí!
Apartamento bem localizado, perto de tudo.

Matheus and Renato were very good and accommodating hosts. When I discovered a problem with an apartment I was staying in, they moved me to a better apartment without charging me additional fees. This is good hosting. They were also very responsive to my requests.
The neighborhood is very bohemian, with lots of bars, clubs and restaurants around. It's a bit of a walk to the nearest metro station but there is a bus nearby that runs frequently. The location is also walking distance to the downtown Sao Paulo.
The apartment itself was ok but in need of some upgrades. It has a deck where you can sit out, which was very nice.
Amazing place, great host, excellent location and great value for money. Thank heaps love your work.
EN: Everything was perfect! Nice apartment which is very good located. Anytime again!

About the Host, Matheus & Renato
Being very passionate for travel I bumped into my first airbnb rentals when backpacking with my bf, Renato, in 2012. A few months later I decided to become a host. I take pleasure on hanging out with multicultural people and showing them around Sao Paulo and Brazil in general. I do that every time I have some spare time and get along enough with our guests
I am fascinated by different cultures and take a great amount of proud for being Brazilian- Canadian and most importantly, a citizen of the world. I often find that political and geographic boundaries, although a necessary bureaucracy, are a discouraging tool that frequently segregates people from getting to know other people's culture and traditions.
That is exactly why I love a traveler's true spirited mind and soul, that usually goes passed and beyond these social patterns of exclusion.
We are coffee, outdoorsie and organic/natural food enthusiasts as well.
I hope to get to know you on your next stop to Sao Paulo. Feel free to drop us a line!!

Legislation loopholes allowing schools to choose pupils to 'protect its ethos,' mean that faith based schools operate in what McNamara describes as "an equality vacuum," where it is not clear what their obligations are under the equality legislation.
Finally gay and lesbian teachers in schools were also fearful for their positions since the churches had sought and obtained exemption from the legislation designed to protect minorities from discrimination in employment. This is despite the fact that Ireland has introduced a comprehensive and advanced set of legislation on equality.
This research has implications for schoolteachers in all faith schools, including those in the UK. "Fundamentally, it is the responsibility of all those who are identified as leaders within the school community to ensure that practical steps are taken to challenge and respond to homophobic bullying," says McNamara.
The Catholic Church primarily runs schools not to provide choice and diversity or to raise standards, but to promote faith and religious knowledge among young people. In this context, it makes sense that such schools reflect the teachings and ethos of the church, which acts as their patron.
In Ireland, this is an inherited reality, which must be managed as well as possible. In Britain the authors conclude that if faith based schools are to be further encouraged, the State should retain adequate power to require schools to comply with, for example, equality legislation and with the prevailing standards of justice and tolerance in the wider society.

The study found that there was an approximately three-fold increase in the rate of hallway hand washes per hour amongst healthcare staff when an auditor was visible (3.75 per hour), compared to a location where the auditor was not visible (1.48 per hour) and to the previous weeks (1.07 per hour). Hand washing rates with the auditor present were compared to separate groups at different time periods and locations to ensure that the differences found were not due to hand hygiene patterns that could be attributable to time of day or location. In each instance, the hand washing rates were significantly higher when the auditors were present, with the increase occurring after the auditors' arrival, suggesting that the arrival of the auditor triggered the increase in hand hygiene.
"The difference in hand hygiene rates, when an auditor is present compared to those times when one is not, is huge in this study, and we showed this effect to be very consistent," says Dr. Gardam, who is also an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto.
"The magnitude of what we found calls into question the accuracy of directly observed hand hygiene rates and the usefulness of measuring and reporting them," says Dr. Gardam. "That said, human auditing of hand hygiene has been helpful to draw attention to this important preventative measurewe just can't stop focusing on it because our posted rates are not nearly as high as we think they are."

Re: Last Classic Who Story you watched
Yeah, I keep hoping Brigadier Bambera will pop up somewhere on the new series.
Personally, I really like "Battlefield." I like all the Arthurian elements. I like the way Morgana tries messing with Ace's head. I like the timey-wimey aspects of the story. (I keep hoping the new series will do a story arc for half a season or so where the Doctor is stranded in Arthurian times and turns into "Merlin," King Arthur's scientific advisor.)

In fairness, Carole Ann Ford was on vacation at the time. In fact, there were 4 stories in a row where each actor took 2 weeks off. Carole Ann Ford & William Russell managed to shoot short film scenes to be inserted into the episodes in "The Aztecs" & "The Reign of Terror." Meanwhile, William Hartnell was completely absent from parts 3 & 4 of "The Keys of Marinus" and Jacqueline Hill was gone for a couple parts of "The Sensorites."

The Ohio Legislature did something this month that might seem to some like nothing more than a symbolic gesture. But that gesture has the chance to lead to tangible results.
Lawmakers voted to rephrase certain terms and phrases relating to people with mental disorders. The state has eliminated the words lunatic, idiot, imbecile, insane, mental derangement and habitual drunkard.
However, this decision is more than a case of politicians being politically correct. These words are commonly used as playground insults. They aren't clever or witty retorts, but base, mean spirited and demeaning. Eliminating these words from official language referring to those with mental illness is an attempt to change the attitude some people have toward those with developmental disabilities. It is the same logic behind the push to eliminate "retardation" from the name of many county and state boards of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disability.
As Gov. Ted Strickland said when he signed the bill into law, language has power and these changes make sure "individuals are referred to in a way that is accurate, appropriate, dignified and shows value."
As medical and psychological advancements allow society to better understand the cause and effects of developmental disabilities, the words we use to describe those conditions should be clinical, rather than filled with the stigma words such as idiot and lunatic have.
And, yes, in the future the currently acceptable terms, such as incompetent and developmental disorder, may be found to carry the same stigma as idiot and lunatic. But, if our leaders continue to combat these negative connotations, we might, eventually, arrive at terminology that does everyone justice.

User reviews for Croc 2
5.0 / 10Combined Score
First of all, I hated the password thing. It was around ten numbers and letters, and you copy it down, and it ends up not working. I had to start the game over at least 20 times. Because of that, it was very challenging.
Don't get this game. It was more annoying than fun. The passwords didn't work half the time. It may've been a bit fun, but that's not worth the violent rage you have towards the game after it keeps rejecting your password. *shudder* It's a pretty stupid game, too. I forgot what it's pathetic plot was. The music was okay, but nothing good in this game is worth the password stuff. I almost got rid of the game, but got really bored, so played through most of it until I found a better N64 game to buy. Oh, and what a better N64 game it was. The sad thing is, that game was one of those used ones that, once you buy them, you know why the person got rid of ...

Barcelona, Spain: Prenatal biochemical screening tests are widely used to look for chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus which can lead to serious handicap, or even death during gestation or in the first few days after birth. But these tests are only able to detect fewer than half of the total chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus, a scientist will tell the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics tomorrow (Monday 2 June) Dr. Francesca R. Grati, of the TOMA Laboratory, Busto Arsizio, Italy, says that these findings mean that women should be better informed on the limitations of such diagnostic tests.
The researchers studied 115,576 prenatal diagnoses carried out during the last fourteen years. 84,847 were amniocenteses, usually carried out around the 16th week of pregnancy, and 30,729 chorionic villus samplings, which can be undertaken from 12 weeks into the pregnancy. Both these tests carry an increased risk of miscarriage, so the decision on whether or not to undertake them can be difficult to weigh up. "Since our sample included a large number of women aged less than 35 who underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis without any pathological indication to do so, we felt that the results could be useful in helping to inform pre-test counselling of such women", says Dr. Grati. "Up until now, the information we had came from smaller studies which only looked at the performance of these tests in detecting a limited number of chromosomal abnormalities."
After analysing the results of the chromosomal abnormalities from their own dataset, the researchers combined them with the official detection rates for these abnormalities published by SURUSS and FASTER consortia. These are multi-centre research groups involved in the investigation of screening and diagnostic tests performed in pregnancy, whose results are being used to optimise prenatal care for pregnant patients. They found that current screening procedures were o

text: That's a really rough translation, so if you're seriously concerned, I would speak to a German intellectual property/copyright lawyer about this to get clarification. But it sounds similar in principle to the law here in the US - if someone is in public, performing a public action, they have no expectation of privacy and you don't need their permission to photograph them. You don't need a model release even if the person is recognizable so long as the work is not being used for commercial purposes. Commercial purposes can be generally understood to mean for the purpose of advertising or endorsing a product or service. So publication in a catalog of photos or exhibition and sale in an art gallery would not require a model release. Putting that photo on a can of Maxwell House coffee, or on a billboard for Joe's Car Repair, would require the release. The German law sounds a little more restrictive, and a little more specific as to the conditions, but not radically different. I'd talk to an expert in local law who knows for sure what the law means and knows case history as to how it has been interpreted. There is probably an organization somewhere in your state, if not a national one, where lawyers who specialize in this kind of law will provide free or inexpensive consultations for artists. Look them up and get advice there. Otherwise, the legal advice you get from an internet chat forum is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Maybe I should have been more specific in describing what I had in mind. I hate the idea of being exclusionary and would rather not say X is ok but Y isn't. But here is what I was thinking: many of the handcoated processes have allot in common and many people don't have access to shows where they can see first hand what, for example, a well made Van Dyke print could look like. So an exchange and discussion of the prints could probably help some of us out. But this would have to be limited to processes that have enough in common to be of help.
Maybe even having more than one process isn't feasible. Maybe there would be enough people starting out in Pt/Pd to make an exchange of just that process work. Maybe another one of Van Dyke/Kallitype. The idea is not just to be able to collect prints, but also to learn and see.
Anybody have any suggestions or ideas?

|How it Works


text:
By the dawn of the 20th century, scientists had discovered that the disease is actually caused by microscopic parasites called Plasmodium and spread by mosquitoes. Armed with this knowledge, health officials throughout the last century have worked toward the ultimate goal of eradicating the disease, and have had great success in progressively eliminating malaria country-by-country.
[See: Progress Fighting Malaria: A Timeline http://www.ucsf.edu/news/2011/08/10525/progress-fighting-malaria-timeline]
Full malaria eradication was intensively pursued as a major public health effort after World War II. As a result, some 109 countries eliminated malaria, interrupting transmission to the point where the disease is no longer locally spread from person to person. The United States, for instance, eliminated the disease in 1952. However, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1,500 cases of malaria still occur in the United States each year imported by visitors or travelers returning from abroad.
Despite successes, eradication efforts stalled in the 1960s, and today malaria remains a major cause of illness in many parts of the world. Almost half the world's population lives in places where the disease is common, yet significant progress is being made at the fringes of malaria transmission around the world.
"In a time of budget shortfalls," Feachem said, "this Atlas provides a critical resource for malaria programs and their supporting agencies to more effectively target their elimination strategies and advocate for needed funding to address remaining challenges."

Novetta Solutions, LLC is exploring a sale which could value it at more than $650 million, including debt, according to people familiar with the matter. Novetta's sale process comes as cuts in United States government spending, particularly in the areas of defense and security, have hit companies that rely on government contracts, spurring consolidation in the industry. Arlington Capital Partners has hired Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) and Houlihan Lokey, Inc. on an auction for Novetta Solutions, the people said this week. The sources asked not to be identified because the sale process is not public and representatives for Novetta, Arlington Capital Partners, Morgan Stanley and Houlihan Lokey declined to comment, reported Reuters. Sources stated that Hewlett-Packard Co and IBM Corp, as well as Lockheed Martin Corp, Raytheon Co and General Dynamics Corp, could express interest in Novetta.
