The College News Z-81B VOL. XXVII, No. 25 BRYN MAWR and WAYNE, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1941 copyright, Ttumm of PRICE 10 CENTS ________________ Prjrn MiWf ^OllCflC, 1940______________________________ S. Ingalls Wins European Fellowship Red Cross Backs Nurses' Training Course at College School to Spend Summer In Intensive Program Of Study Goodhart, May 26.�Last Mon- day Miss Park announced that the Red Cross will sponsor a training school for nurses, open from June 26 to September 12, on the campus. Operating in collaboration with Bryn Mawr and with the Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania, the school will enable two hundred college graduates to complete their training for a nurse's certificate in less than the usual three years. The students will live in Rocke- feller and Rhoads, and will have classes in Taylor. They will use the laboratories of the Woman's Medical College in Germantown. The curriculum will be decided by a committee of which Miss Mar- garet E. Conrad, Dean of the School, will be chairman. Miss Gardiner will represent Bryn Mawr on the committee. With the three months of inten- sive theoretical work at this school, a girl will probably be allowed to qualify as a military nurse after one year of practical work in a regular school, and she may re- ceive her full nurse's certificate after two years. Definite details have not yet been worked out. She will, however, be required to take at least one year of practical work. The school, it is hoped, will be similar to the one established at Vassar in 1917. The idea was suggested to Mrs. Chadwick Collins by Mrs. Thomas R. White, who graduated from the Vassar School, and was approved by the Woman's Continued on Pa�re Three Rufus Jones Speaks To Graduating Class Calls Attention to Necessity Of Recognizing Permanent Values in Life Goodhart, June 1.�If we are to say one final word about life to a ;*roup of students on the point of graduation, we must talk about the realities which we all know are real, Dr. Rufus M. Jones, Trustee and Director of Bryn Mawr Col- lege, explained in his Baccalaure- ate sermon. "Finally, whatever is true, whatever is good, whatever is beautiful, form your minds oh these realities.�And the peace of God which passes all comprehen- sion shall garrison your hearts and minds." The real test of education is not your passing mark in finals, Dr. Jones said. The real test is your selection of what is to direct your thoughts, whether you have learned to appreciate the right things. In this time of world confusion, certain values of life still stand out clearly. Dr. Jones laid special stress on the eternal realities of beauty, goodness, truth and pure love. These realities are the things by which we live, "the riches which neither moth nor rust corrupt, nor do thieves or depressions sweep them away." Now above every- thing else we need to come back to these simplicities, to these veri- fiable realities of religion which are in harmony with the truth and the laws of life which we have learned in our studies. Dr. Jones pointed out that in the supreme battles of the soul, religion can bring steadiness and give us an in- ward assurance that eternal forces are allied with us. In the main, a person can have what she wants on the condition that she wants it enough and sets her mind to it. "The resolute will Continued on Pafre Six English Exam Suffers From an Evil Omen And Blaring Band Bothers Baby Biologists By Alice Crowder, '42 | While the two week grind mani- fested by the rising pile of books on the reserve room desk and the thickening atmosphere of quiet smoking rooms went on without a slip, there were decided break- downs in the hidden machinery of examination. The first notice of decline in that machinery came when the office generously printed the answers to one question in Mr. Herben's English Literature exam. While Mr. Herben feverishly worked to scratch, out the tell-tale marks, Mr. Sprague was delegated to tell the class to have no fear, the exam would appear. It was no use. The fevered anxieties of fifty odd people rose with the ticking oft* of minute after minute and Tom Jones and Moll Flanders leaked out of overwrought brains. Twenty- five minutes later the exam ap- peared. -It was quickly finished. One student, finishing an unfortu- nate half hour early, calmly wrote a letter to her family in a blue book. Another, leaving twelve min- utes early, Vhispered to Mr. Her- ben in passing that she was sorry she just didn't know another twelve minutes' worth. The Eighteenth Century English Literature exam was lost. While mimeograph machines worked at top speed turning out new ones, the class enjoyed a pleasant chat on Taylor steps, completing uncertain details. The most ominous of the mishaps was the bird in the English Com- prehensive room. All would have been well if there were no Latin requirement for English majors. As it was, everyone knew the pres- ence of the bird on the left was extremely unfortunate. Some re- fused to face the cold fact that it was a bird and climbed screeching onto chairs while the creature flut- tered over the floor. The whole mental equilibrium of many was upset during the first year geology exam by a glance at the blackboard. There unmistak- ably were inscribed the unenlight- �ning words: "Shoot the rock to me Doc." An equally disturbing ele- ment was the Memorial Day parade which broke up an otherwise orderly First Year Biology exam. Pencils and blue books were left behind in a mad rush for the bal- conies. Loud laments were raised as the time drew to a close: "Oh, give us fifteen more minutes: you know�the parade." Informality characterized the ex- amination season from first to last. An astonished advanced Engfl'sh History class was told, "Mrs. Man- ning forgot all about you." And Mr. Diez snapped close his book at twelve o'clock: "Well, Ladies, when you're ready to go, I am." B. Hamlin. Major in Chemistry, is Alternate; Dr. Neilson Delivers Commencement Address Ninety-nine Degrees Of Bachelor of Arts Granted to Seniors SUSIE INGALLS Tea Given in Honor Of Lady Halifax in The Deanery Garden Deanery, May 21.�A tea in hon- or of Lady Halifax, wife of the British Ambassador, was given in the Deanery Garden on Wednes- day afternoon, May 21. Many of the faculty, staff, friends of the college and about one hundred and fifty undergraduates were received by Lady Halifax, Miss Park, Mrs. Chadwick-Collins and Vivi French. Lady Halifax, who was intro- duced by Miss Park, warmed Bryn Mawr hearts by, commenting on the resemblance of our buildings to those, at Oxford. She discussed the friendly relations created between the youth of England and America by exchange scholars, and wished that Bryn Mawr might always re- main "young in spirit and only grow old in fame and tradition." Maids and Porters Entertain Students Gymnasium, May 20.�In appre- ciation to the students who help with maid's classes and plays, the maids and porters gave a party on Tuesday evening, May 20, iq the gym. As an added attraction they presented the Utopia Female Chor- us of Philadelphia. Jeanette Holland introduced the talented hosts and hostesses, and Anna Kearney and Louise Simms added words of thanks. There were readings by Lillian Canty, Cary Crunkleton, accompanied by Elizabeth Jones, Minnie Newton, Pearl Edmonds and Louis White. Among those who sang solos were Marjorie Draine, Mable Ross and the incomparable Carl Smith. The trio of Pearl Edmonds, Anna White and Louise Simms provided an un- expected comic element. Opening the 56th Commencement Exercises of Bryn Mawr College, Dr. William Allen Neilson, presi- dent-emeritus of Smith College, de- .ivered the address to the graduat- ng class. After the degrees of Bachelor of Arts were conferred up.m ninety-nine seniors, Miss Park announed Rachel Susannah Ingalls, of Virginia, as the 53rd European Fellow. Miss Ingalls, graduated tntiyna cum luude, with distinction in economics. The alternate was announced as Miss Bojan Constance Hamlin, who, graduated cum laude with distinc- tion in Chemistry, has been doing research in organic chemistry.

Sixty-five out of 77, if they had to do it over, would come to Rryn Mawr again; 60 would have the major; 65 would live in the same hall; and 30 are planning to send their daughters here. (Thirty-six wisely said it would depend upon the daughter, one future mother admitting that unless the offspring were brighter than she, she would send her elsewhere.) iods, practice comprehensives, an earlier start, and no papers or quizzes in the second term.

DEGREES ELIZABETH MONROE IS AWARDED I0ROPEAN FELLOWSHIP Excellence of Acting In Bacchae Praised Different Colors of Costumes, Skillful Flute Playing Give Beautiful Effect CHORUS IS GRACEFUL (Especially Contributed by Rhys Carpenter) The Bacchae of Euripides gave Mme. Eva Sikelianos full opportunity to combine color, movement, and song into one of those serenely beautiful effects which have made her Delphic festivals a pilgrim-spot in reecnt years. Her sense for color combina- tion is particularly happy, though the lurid green of the American spring was somewhat too intense a back- ground for her fragile tones. Quite unforgettable was the brilliant oppo- sition of the stronger colors in the cos- tumes of the returning revellers on one side of the scene against the softer hues of the less robust chorus on the other, while the frenzied purple fig- ure of Agave waved the bodiless head of the son whom she had slain. The weather was propitious, except that Zeus, too freely mentioned during the play, could not refrain from acknowl- edging the reference by gently sprink- ling the close of the second perform- ance. Evelyn Thompson, 1935, as the de- mented, then suddenly sobered and wretched Agave, took, the honors in acting, as Gertrude Leighton, 1938, with her messenger's story of the death of Pentheus, took the honors for diction. The otherwise forebearing audience, which largely filled the semi- circular grandstand beneath the Old Wives' Tale Hollow, showed its agree- ment on the excellence of these two parts. The male characters were cast among the great alien world of non- Bryn Martyrs and included some well- known Greek scholars effectively dis- guised. Prof. Shero, as Pentheus, be- neath tightly curled archaic and very auburn hair, pointed a splendidly menacing finger at Dionysos and his converts and walked more like a young god than a member of the Swarthmore faculty. Arnold Post and Richard Heath, looking enviably aged with the whitest of toads and the woolliest of filleted beavcls, so obvious- ly enjoyed themselves as the seer Teiresias and the Theban Kadmos that they readily imparted their pleasure to others.

Dr. Anderson Analyzes Economic Alterations Elizabeth Monroe, winner of the European Fellowship for 1935-36, has had a consistently high average throughout her college career. In her junior year she divided the Charles S. Hinchman Memorial Scholarship, awarded to the student doing the best work in her major subject, with Vung-Yuin Ting. Her major is math- ematics, but she plans to study chem- istry next year, "if she graduates," at Newnham College, Cambridge. Al- though her plans for the future are very vague, she said that she would prefer research work to teaching. Miss Monroe has been to three schools altogether, and has never skip- ped a grade. She went for two years to kindergarten at the Hathaway- Brown School in Cleveland. She spent ten years at the Rye School and fin- ished with two years at Concord Acad- emy. She seems to have developed early the habit of winning honors, since she won two cups at Rye and a prize at Concord. In 1928 Miss Mon- roe was awarded the Judson cup for school service, and she won the Craw- ford cup at Rye a year later for the "highest standards in school activi- ties." She won one of the scholarship prizes at Concord, and was given a book called Physical Optics. Only now after four years of college work in scientific fields can she begin to understand the book! Miss Monroe's tastes are broad. When she was fourteen, she determin- ed on a scientific career, and told her family that she was going to study electrical engineering at M. I. T. This was probably because she had just made a telegraphic receiving set out of odd bits of wire and steel. Her family said nothing, but she later de- cided to come to Bryn Mawr instead. In school, which, contrary to the habit of most children, she always liked, she enjoyed English very much. French was perhaps her hardest subject, though she did finally master it. She was, however, really poor in penman- ship, and received the grade x in it. At college she has had three years of chemistry and mathematics, two courses in physics, and two in English (besides the required courses). Geol- ogy, more particularly crystallography and mineralogy, and logic have also interested her. Most of the pitfalls of college life have been avoided by Miss Monroe. She passed her orals the first time. In her junior year, however, she did fail a quiz in her major subject so badly that the professor kindly never marked it. She was the only under- graduate to study with Dr. Noether, and did honors work with her in the field of modern algebra. Miss Monroe's chief occupation'NJnl Goodhart, June 5. � At the Com- mencement exercises President Angell, of Yale University, discussing certain of the Recent Developments in Col- legiate Education, spoke in-part as follows: At the exercises inaugurating the first President of this institution, an eminent Yale man, then President of Johns Hopkins University, delivered an address which was subsequently published under the caption, 'Address at the Opening of Bryn Mawr College for Ladies.' Few phrases could so succinctly indicate the amount of water which has gone over the educa- tional dam in the fifty years inter- vening between that occasion and this. "Bryn Mawr, as is well recognized, did two daring things at the outset. In the first place, she tried to set her standards for entrance and for graduation as high as any collegiate institution in the country, declining to recognize any differential because she was dealing with girls. And, in the second place, she opened a division of graduate studies leading to the higher degrees, and to foster this program, she furnished a number of scholar- ships and fellowships to promising students. In both of these measures she was frankly influenced by the ex- ample of her slightly older neighbor, .the Johns Hopkins University, where President Gilman and many members of his faculty were generous of aid and advice. She could hardly have had a more inspiring example. More- over, from the' ver^beginning, th\; administration of the College recog- nized the dependence of its success upon the securing of absolutely first rate ability in its faculty. A list of men and women who have taught at Bryn Mawr contains an extraordinar- ily high percentage of the ranking scholars of their time in the country." President Angell then went on to comment upon a number of changes which have in recent years occurred in American institutions of higher education. He mentioned the voca- tional colleges training men for tech- nical pursuits of various kinds, par- ticularly in the several fields of engi- neering, and also referred to the schools affording women expert train- ing as librarian, nurses, secretaries, social workers, teachers of physical education, and the science and art of the various sub-divisions of home economics. He then described the objectives of the so-called progressive colleges with their highly individualistic methods, their extreme emphasis on the per- sonality^ the individual student, and their disregard of the conventional ob- jectives and methods of both the lib- eral and the vocational colleges. At- tention was drawn to the wide impor- tation into American colleges in recent years of modified forms of the Eng- lish tutorial procedure and with it the attempt to develop honors resem- bling somewhat the similar procedure .

She comes all the way from Shanghai, China, where she was born and brought up. When she was seventeen, she set out alone to cross the Pacific Ocean and the Amer- ican Continent. Since she arrived on the Eastern Coast in the summer, she went to a girls' camp in Andover, Mas- sachusetts, to learn the ways of Amer* ican girls. Having perfected herself in the two arts of playing their games and of washing dishes as they did, she came down to Pennsylvania and entered the Shipley School for a year. In 1932 she became a member of the freshman class at Bryn Mawr, and at once she distinguished herself by her brilliant scholarship. At the end of her third year she received the Maria L. Eastman Brooke Hall Mem- orial Award for the student holding the highest rank in the junior class, and she divided with .Elizabeth Monroe, the Hinchmau Scholarship given for the most outstanding work in the major subject. But, after all her travels and achievements, she has not changed the purpose which she has held since she was a little girl; she means to be a doctor. The medical profession is a tradi- tion in Miss Ting's family; it was in- evitable that she should choose the same calling. Accordingly, by the time she was nine years old, she had definitely resolved to become a physi- cian. Her aunt, the Director of the Woman's Hospital in Tien-Tsien, was well acquainted with the colleges of America, and she recommended Bryn Mawr to Vung-Yuin not only for the intellectual instruction offered, but also for its training in fine living. For her more specialized study in medical school, Miss Ting chose the Univer- sity of Michigan, and now she has won a scholarship to be held there for the next four years. When she has at last gained the degree of Doc- tor of Medicine, she will return to China to assist her aunt in the Tien- Tsien hospital. Her work will be that of a general practitioner in the dis- eases of women and children. In China there is not so much need for doctors trained in highly specialized lines as for men and women who can help all sickness wherever they meet it. The great population there has more than its share of illnesses and less than its share of provisions against illness. While the United States has one hospital for every 18,000 people, vast China has only one for every 800,000. Miss Ting will not merely be following the profes- sion she loves most when she returns to her home as a full-fledged physi- cian; she will be helping in a vitally �cessary work.

Highland Cavalier editor awarded SPJ National Mark of Excellence
The editor-in-chief of The University of Virginia's College at Wise student newspaper, The Highland Cavalier, was awarded first place for breaking news reporting in a national journalism contest for a 2012 news story about the sudden death of the College's seventh chancellor.
Jordan Fifer's breaking news reporting won first place in the Society of Professional Journalists' National Mark of Excellence competition this week. The story had previously won first place for breaking news reporting in SPJ's Region 2, which includes Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
The Mark of Excellence Awards honor the best collegiate journalism in the U.S. and are judged by professionals with at least three years of journalism experience. Fifer's winning entry competed among category winners from the 12 SPJ regions.
According to the SPJ: "Judges were directed to choose only those entries which they felt were outstanding work worthy of a national honor. If the judges determined that none of the entries rose to the level of excellence, no award was given. This year student journalists submitted more than 4,600 entries."
Fifer's Feb. 3, 2012 Highland Cavalier story "Wise mourns Prior's death" was a breaking news article written in less than a day after Chancellor David Prior died unexpectedly early on a Thursday morning. The Highland Cavalier, then a weekly newspaper, was due to be published the next morning, and Fifer worked to ensure the story made it to print despite minimal time before the paper's deadline.
The entry will be recognized at SPJ's Excellence in Journalism 2013 (EIJ13) conference in Southern California, Aug. 24 to 26.
Fifer, a senior interdisciplinary studies major, is the outgoing editor-in-chief of The Highland Cavalier. His reporting and photography have appeared in The Roanoke Times, The Virginian-Pilot, The Bristol Herald - Courier, The Coalfield Progress and other publications. His work has won several regional, state and national awards for newspaper writing, photography and videography.

AP Two men from the U.S. have been charged with playing a role in a failed nighttime coup attempt in the tiny West African nation of Gambia, federal prosecutors said Monday, NBC News reported. Cherno Njie, 57, of Austin, Texas and Papa Faal, 46, of Brooklyn Center, Minnesota - both of Gambian descent - are accused of traveling from the U.S. last month and joining a team of up to a dozen men who tried to seize the president's residence on December 30 armed with semi-automatic rifles and night vision goggles. President Yahya Jammeh was out of the country during the attempted coup but has since returned. Get More at NBC News
AP Tens of thousands of Syrian Kurds crossed the Turkish border in fear of an imminent attack from ISIS fighters, Reuters reported. Natives fear a potential massacre in the strategic border-town of Kobani in the wake of ISIS' previous advances in northern Syria. Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus told CNN Turk television that around 45,000 Syrian Kurds have fled since they opened the border. Iraqi Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani called for international intervention to protect Kobani from the Islamic State advance, saying the insurgents must be "hit and destroyed wherever they are".

Americans are very fearful of an Ebola epidemic, with a new study reporting that 40 percent believe a "large outbreak" of the virus is imminent, NBC News reported. However, experts agree that an individual's chance of getting it in the developed world is virtually zero. Why are people so concerned? Experts told NBC News that the public is responding to multiple media reports about the virus — and that their reaction is logical. "We all kind of imagine catching Ebola because that's what you do with something new and really, really, really scary," said a risk communication expert. Get More at NBCNews.com
A New Jersey hospital charged a teacher nearly $9,000 to put a bandage on his middle finger, an NBC 4 New York I-Team investigation has found. Last August, Baer Hanusz-Rajkowski, of Bayonne, accidentally cut his finger with the claw-end of a hammer. He says he waited a few days for it to heal but the cut didn't seem to be closing, so he went to the Bayonne Medical Center emergency room to ask whether he should get stitches. The nurse practitioner determined no stitches were necessary, he says. There was no X-ray either. Instead, Hanusz-Rajkowsk got hit with an $8,200 bill. Click through for more on the investigation.

AP One year later, the attorney of Ariel Castro, the Cleveland man who held three girls captive for 10 years, including his daughter said his desire for her to live a normal life is what convinced him to release the girls.

The Classic Trialmaster Tourist Trophy jacket gets updated for protection and pure adrenaline. With seam-sealed Miropex membrane, detachable quilted lining for on body Micro-Valtherm padding, and arm and shoulder protection by D30 that exceeds European CE safety standards for motorcycle protection, the Classic Trialmaster Tourist Trophy motorcycle jacket takes classic 4-pocket belted Belstaff style to the road. Reinforcements on shoulders and elbows. Metal aerators under arm. Adjusting neck strap for wind protection.
Signature Hand-Waxed Cotton
Originally used by Eighteenth Century sailors, Belstaff water repellent wax cotton is beloved by bikers for its unbeatable protection, its longevity and its endurance. The heritage fabric offers freedom, comfort and breathability in a low-shine finish that can be re-waxed in lieu of cleaning. Triple waxed to simulate years of use at the outset, it only improves with wear. The Classic Trialamaster Tourist Trophy Jacket uses a 10oz coating.
Heritage Check Lining
The Belstaff Classic Trialmaster Tourist Trophy Jacket uses the traditional heritage check lining ensures comfort, breathability and classic style. The same quality fabric and English check have lined the inside of Belstaff jackets since 1948. This lining sits behind the removable Belstaff Thermal lining.
Bellows Pockets
The collapsible bellows pocket was designed to keep personal effects dry and secure without adding extra bulk while riding. A feature of the original four-pocket Trialmaster, it retains an ergonomic advantage and is woven throughout the outerwear collection as a design detail. This jacket has four Bellows pockets, two on the chest and two lower down at waist level.
Zipper Pull
Designed with a gloved hand in mind, the Belstaff signature ring zipper pull makes it easy for the biker to operate closures while in motion. Knurling at the ring aids grip and symbolizes classic moto style. This type of zip fastener is a new addition to the Belstaff range with the Belstaff Classic Trialmaster Tourist Trophy being one of the first to receive the 'update'.
Archival knurling is an industrial cross-hatched pattern in metal. Engineered with orological precision, it keeps buckles secure and provides an easy grip on buttons and zipper pulls. A new improvement on Belstaff Jackets, all Pure Motorcycle Collection jackets now have this. The Classic Trialmaster Tourist Trophy Jacket benefits from improved buckle, buttons and zip fastener.
Aerators were traditionally placed under the sleeves of a biker's jacket to add breathability without sacrificing wind tight protection. Today, archival aerators also appear on hoods, handbags and as decorative hardware honouring the moto tradition. The Belstaff Trialmaster Classic Tourist Trophy Jacket includes Aerators under the arm pits and also in the sleeves.
Reinforced Shoulders And Elbows
Originally designed to protect riders as they took risks around sharp bends, reinforced patches at the elbows and shoulders came to symbolize iconic biker style. They now serve as a distinctive Belstaff design detail.
More About the Protectors
Starting from the new PM 2013 collection, all sytles will be provided with the "intelligent" soft protectors by D3O Lab.
D30 is a patented protective material that combines enhanced chemistry with product engineering to produce high performance shock absorption and impact protection solutions.
The Molecular structure of the composite material allows protectors to be soft and maleable under normal conditions, but when shocked by sudden force, the molecules lock up to absorb the impact energy and then instantly return to their flexible state to spread the force.
This characteristic makes the protectors flexible,comfortable, yet offering total protection.
D3O components integrate perfectly into garments, so that neither the style nor the function are compromised. Their light weight is such that their presence inside the garment is almost unperceived.

Wearing this jacket is like riding a newer Hinckley Triumph Twin... Review by Wakx
Price Quality Value ...you look and feel like a million bucks! But where the form is beautiful, the function leaves a lot to be desired! My biggest gripe is that on long cold rides, the arms quickly get chilly. The jacket is windproof, but the thinness of the arms means they get cold easily. Also, the old-school metal zippers get stuck too often. Lastly, I wish it had a space for back protection.
I live in the PNW. So, I recommend this jacket for short winter commutes and long spring and fall trips. I haven't yet experienced the jacket in the summer. Oh, and to close the loop on the Belstaff/Triumph metaphor. I love my Bonnie, but it could have more functional modern updates. Like a built-in helmet lock; key-locked seats, compartments, and gas cap; and a better seat. But both the bike and the jacket turn heads and get compliments everywhere I go. That sure makes it worth it for me. (Posted on 2/6/2013) -
Great purchase Review by Nick R
I bought this jacket in December. I tried a few on when in europe last year and really wanted to make the investment.
I waited until the 2013 version came out and it has exceeded expectations.
The jacket has worked great in the current Nthn California winter and with the water proofing product has been perfect.
The new d30 armor is great as its moves with you and seems to be more innovative. There is also a pocket in the back of the jacket to fit a d30 back protector. I purchased one that fits a Klim jacket for $40.
Couldn't be happier with the purchase. (Posted on 1/3/2013) -
Another awesome Belstaff jacket Review by Erich Hartman
Price Quality Value I have wanted this jacket for some time now and finally opened up my wallet to buy it. I am blown away at the quality. The look is classic and cool all in one.
Paul and BMG is the best online retailer I have ever dealt with. I actually bought 2 of these jacket's due to not knowing which size i needed, I was able to return the one that I didn't want no questions asked.
Thanks I will be back!

Excellent Quality & Looks, NOT Waterproof Review by Kevin D.
I am deeply disappointed to write this review with such low marks. I have been drooling over this jacket for sometime and finally sprung for it about 6 months ago. The craftsmanship of this jacket is superb. The warmth and wind protection is outstanding. The fit and style makes even the wearer jealous because it's so nice!
Unfortunately, it is simply not waterproof.
For this last reason, I cannot rate this jacket admirably as it is advertised and known for its waterproof capabilities. In fact, that's one of the primary reasons I bought it.
The up side, is that this defect should be easily rectified. In short, there are 3 small aerator holes under each "armpit" of the jacket. These are supposed to help the jacket breathe in warm weather. Today I rode in the rain for the first time since purchasing the jacket (hey, I live in Southern California!) and my upper body was pretty well soaked. My back was dry as a bone. But my chest and arms were very wet. The wax cotton and the seems work flawlessly. The waterproof pockets kept my cell phone dry and safe. However, those 3 aerator holes really screwed me over. I am now in pursuit of some waterproof material that I can have my local tailor sew to the inside of the jacket to cover up those holes. If I cannot waterproof this jacket, I'll be forced to sell it because I need to use it for touring purposes, not just style. (Posted on 10/4/2011) -
GREAT JACKET Review by JC
Price Quality Value The jacket is not only cool but it actually works. I took a tumble on my trip and along with a back protector insert the jacket did it's job allowing me to continue to ride. (Posted on 8/23/2011)
Cool as heck! Review by Brit in NYC
I'd been seriously considering getting a belstaff all winter and finally picked the Tourist Trophy at the NYC International Motorcycle Show in Jan. Im so glad i did. Its a phenomenal jacket. Living in NYC i had been to Bloomingdales, Barneys and Bergdorfs (all very good dept stores) but none of the belstaff's i saw there seemed to be thick enough or tough enough. The Tourist Trophy looks great, has a zip out liner AND CE rated body armor. I went into J-Crew (who also have belstaff jackets) the other day and 2 of the salespeople were all over me asking me about the jacket and how cool it was. When they found out it was a higher specification jacket than anything they had and for LESS money they couldn't believe it. Bottom Line: This jacket is the "Dog's Boll*cks" (that's a good thing for all you non British readers). You will not be disappointed. (Posted on 3/9/2011)
High quality - great fit Review by Paul T
Firstly, thanks to Paul @ BMG for helping me find the correct size. Quality of this jacket is outstanding, and performance is very good. I have ridden at speed in 30 degrees and hard rain and have been generally comfortable. Traditional styling is cool, but I purchased the jacket for durability and to replace my ancient Trialmaster. Regarding fit, I am athletic 6'3", 220lb, and the XXL is perfect. Highly recommend BMG. (Posted on 3/4/2011)
Amazing product Review by Scott Tominovich
Price Quality Value I expected to be dissapointed when I ordered this jacket as I am a real stickler for details. When I first took it out of the box I was completely blown away - gorgeous, sturdy, attention to detail - just an amazing product. 10+ stars. (Posted on 11/15/2010)
Classic Style with Italian attention to detail Review by Robert Downs
Price Quality Value I just wore my Tourist Trophy to dinner at a very Posh restaurant and everyone seemed to be looking at me when I walked in. When I walked out and got on my Ducati again everyone seemed to be watching me then I saw my reflection in the window.. Style and Function this Belstaff has it all. (Posted on 9/9/2010)
Great jacket, could be warmer... Review by Nobby Plancton
I have just got this jacket and it looks fantastic. The quality is obvious at a glance. Beautifully made and just feels luxurious as you pull it on.
As you pull up the zip and clip up all your buttons and then do up your waist and neck buckles you feel like your ready to go on an expedition.
However, on a recent motorway jaunt on a chilly British winter evening I could clearly feel the cold penetrating even the "super modern thermal lining".. especially my arms which don't get the aforementioned lining atall. That said, If you simply wear another layer it's sorted and you turn up in considerable style. No regrets, it's a smasher ! (Posted on 11/13/2008)

Optimising Nokia Asha Web Apps for speed by eliminating server round trips
This article explains how to write a highly responsive Series 40 Web App by avoiding server calls after initial load. It uses a Minesweeper clone as example.
Note: This is an entry in the Asha Touch Competition 2012Q3
Series 40
Contents |
If you are writing a Series 40 Web App, you are prepared to cater for the low end of mobile phones. Knowing that the devices which will run your app are very basic should not stop you from trying to deliver a high-end user experience. It is more the other way around, knowing that those phones have limited capabilities should encourage you to use every trick to provide your user with a premium feeling.
There are three main aspects to user experience (UX):
- Function - what does the app do, how bug-free is it, etc.
- Design - how does the app, and the UI, look
- Responsiveness - how does it feel using the app, how fast is it
Of course, these aspects affect each other and you have to trade them off against each other. In this article I concentrate on number 3, the responsiveness. Within this topic, I further concentrate on improving the speed of the application by reducing "browser round-trips".
Browser round-trips have the biggest impact on Series 40 Web App speed. A round-trip takes almost as much time as opening the app. If the user has to wait 2-3 seconds after every single click they won't be very satisfied with the experience. In addition, every round-trip is a possible point of error. If the user has a bad internet connection, a round-trip can break the app.
The code example proves this theory using the example of a Minesweeper clone, MinesFinder. You can find the source in my Nokia Project Minesfinders40.zip, and an installation file on Nokia Store.
The example allows you to play the game without a single round-trip. You can flag fields, dig for mines, you get a "You Lose" message if you hit a mine and a "You Win" message if you have flagged all mines correctly. In addition there is a counter, showing how many flags you have already planted.
Please note that the Series 40 Web App platform was never intended to be used for highly responsive games. Nevertheless, using a game as example allows me to push the boundaries. The techniques used should be suitable for optimizing most other types of apps.
1. Use MWL where ever you can.
When ever you try to execute any piece of JavaScript, the app will have to make round-trip unless you use methods from Nokia's Mobile Web Library (which can be executed locally). I recommend you keep this documentation close to hand - using mwl.hide("#object") instead of $("#object").hide() makes a huge difference.
This is a pretty basic tip, but mastering the MWL is important for the following tricks as well. Since only MWL gives you the chance to do anything without a round-trip.
2. Create everything on startup
Coming from "traditional" web apps, JavaScript is often used to pull in new information when needed (e.g. via an AJAX request). With a Series 40 Web App, every AJAX call and every newly created DOM element will need a server round-trip. So it is often better to load everything that could be needed upfront while the app is starting. Hide it and show it only if needed. For this, you need the command document.write("Some string..."), which is pretty uncommon nowadays.
The following code is used to create 100 DIV-tags which act as counter for the flags.

After all, the people at this site keep telling me that bigotry toward gays is a myth and you know firsthand whether I've experienced mistreatment for being the way God made me.
At1... racism, bigotry, discrimination, these are all myths used to control the masses... they do not in fact exist. For example, gay-bashing does not exist, hatred and intolerance do not exist, yet these things will APPEAR to exist only when gays defend themselves. If they would only remain silent, there would be no hatred and intolerance. It is their own fault for being who they are and daring to speak out against those who speak out against them, that creates the illusion that there was already hatred and intolerance there.
So it is impossible to be a victim of discrimination? LOL
Yes, that radio speaker is one person exercising their first amendment rights. But ... She is not alone in her opinion.
Religious bigots cry victim even as they spread their hatred of my sexual orientation.

What I said back many pages ago was that racism was a phony. You two have taken that ball and run with it to encompass all of your cause celebs and attempted to reinforce your view and needs on "Victimhood."
You didn't answer the question.. Is it impossible to be a victim of discrimination?


text: Oval diamonds are popular choice for engagement rings because they offer great fire and brilliance. Similar to round diamonds in their light return, oval-cut diamonds are known for their unique shape and aesthetic appeal. This diamond shape has an additional advantage of appearing larger than its actual carat size because of its elongated shape. When set in engagement rings, oval-cut diamonds serve to elongate fingers, which gives them an air of grace and elegance.

This where the flash should stand...
Breguet and Danfer celebrated the launching event in Argentina
05/11/2009The Metropolitan Museum of Buenos Aires dressed up for the launching event of the legendary Swiss watch brand Breguet with Danfer Joyeros. This exclusive "soirée", which sheltered a select audience of 50 watch collectors, started with a cocktail in the main room, amidst the magnificent exhibition of the Breguet pieces, including some high-complications.
Jonathan Lemcovich, owner and General Manager of Danfer, and Lorena Combe, Regional Manager for Breguet in Latin America, shared with their guests the significance of the brand and its legendary history. They remembered the heritage of Abraham Louis Breguet, creator of almost every principle which serves as keystone of today's mechanical watchmaking and of course, the mythical Tourbillon. Naturally, they couldn't leave out the great ambassadors of the brand such as General Napoleon Bonaparte, Queen Marie-Antoinette of France and Sir Winston Churchill, among other personalities.

These are so cute. Did you cut your own wooden ball jars?
yes…we traced Karen's template onto 1/2″ mdf : ) but you can do the ball jar to decorate the frame by using card stock…applying the print to foam core and cutting it : ) but it is fun with the wood because you can do collections of sizes and display them on shelves. If you need any help…just ask : ) wishing you a fabulous and wonderful holiday! : ) hugs…
These are wonderful!
That is adorable!
Beautiful!!! I have some of these old aqua ball jars and I love the paper version!!!
Just adorable!
What do you use to spray the chalkboard paint on to? Thanks. I love your site.
Hi there…how are you and thank you so much for your kind words…I use a piece of 1/4″ mdf — it's smooth as silk and takes the chalkboard paint perfectly! : ) Hope that helps…take care and wishing you the best!
How stinking Awesome is this My dear!!!!!! You know how i feel about ball jars and flowers!!
Just Beautiful!!
This is so cute! My sister-in-law would love it. Ironically her husband is related to Ball's competition. lol
Love this! So adorable — chalkboard paint & mason jar graphics = A+ in my book. I just started following Andrea's blog, but couldn't find a place to leave her a comment! So, hope she gets this!

This is a beautiful, expensive looking & feeling duvet cover. Fabric has a beautiful sheen & soft drape.. The duvet & sham (I got twin size w/ one sham) are well constructed. Others have noted the willow green being a bit different from what is pictured. I would describe it as a light, sagey green that is a bit brighter and less grayish toned than many �sage greens.� It is a nice, neutral color that would go with just about anything. You will need to press duvet & sham/s before using as there are significant creases from being folded, plus you�ll need to press out the flanges that are shmooshed & wrinkly so they�ll be nicely squared off. The shams are the type that open across the middle of the back (unlike some others that open on the side and have buttons). The hem stitching on the duvet goes on 3 sides (not across the top, where pillows would cover it anyway) of the �top side.� The top end is where the button closure is The underside is plain, without the hem stitching; there are two potential looks with this duvet � with or without the hem stitching. When I need to wash mine, I intend to launder it in warm water and will always dry it on my drying rack (away from sunlight to keep from bleaching it by the sun). Doing so will prolong the life of it greatly, as being beaten in the dryer is hard on all things. This is my first experience w/ a duvet, but I think I�ll love it because I love the flexibility of putting a heavy quilt inside or something light for warmer weather, and being able to launder the outer cover. I just read last week that vapors from dry cleaning are potentially unhealthy, so I love being able to wash the duvet cover and getting to protect blankets from dust and body oils, etc. I will note that getting the blanket & quilt inside is quite the chore, but I don't mark it against this duvet: I think it's just the nature of the beast, as they say. Getting the blankets down in there is quite a task. There may be an easier way to do it, but I struggled quite a bit to get mine in. Also, if a person is looking for that crisp, perfectly neat look, I don't think a duvet cover would be a good choice for them because it just has that slightly rumpled look. Sort of European. I am fine with it, but just want to make that point to someone who has never used a duvet cover. I put my willow duvet w/ an ivory colored bed skirt and it looks beautiful. Understated elegance.
I was looking for all-white accessories and bedding and looked around quite a bit before I bought this duvet cover set. This was definitely the best value for the money. It feels very luxurious and has buttons one one end so the comforter does not move around and can be adjusted. There is detailing all around the comforter and it looks very elegant and pretty. The high thread-count makes it feel very luxurious and it looks great on the bed. The pillow covers also looks great.Definitely recommend!
You MUST buy these sheets! Get rid of the old and in with the softest most wonderful sheets and duvet set ever! First of all your bed will look like something out of a magazine and did I mention how soft they are?! My reccomendation: Buy neutral colors, I reccomend either white or ivory. White is my personal fav- and you may think White! No way! I have kids and pets, not to mention a husband. Well, ladies, white can be bleached back to beautiful, what are you going to do with a dark orange or light blue? Also, if you use any facial cleanser or treatment with benzoyl peroxide it will bleach the color right out of your pillow cases, even if you rinse it ALL off (just a tip) Enjoy!!!
I have been an Overstock customer for quite sometime and have always been pleased with my purchases. Recently, I purchased the Hemstich 400 Thread Count Duvet Set. The color was rich, the fabric soft. I pre-washed the duvet and pillow cases prior to use. If you are planning on putting them in the dryer, make sure to pull them out promptly once the dryer cycle is complete. I left mine in the dryer for a while and when I pulled them out, the fabric was extremely wrinkled. However, once I inserted my quilt inside the duvet and laid it across the bed in a matter of a couple hours, the wrinkles had disappeared! I will continue to purchase from Overstock; 1) because of the quality and money-back guarantee; 2) because of the value...(+ free shipping) you really can't go wrong!
I hate Hate HATE buying things online, but this was one of the best purchases I've ever made from the internet. It was plasticy out of the box, and I was upset about that, one wash in the machine though and it was like a feather. Fabric is heavy, and easily cleaned, not so oversized that quilt floats around, perfect.
Awful product....very wrinkled coming out of dryer.....should have come with a warning....so sorry I ordered this set
Very nice, large enough, and feels wonderful.
We ordered the green and it is such a fresh color! I've had it a year now and it's held up wonderfully. Would definitely order again and suggest to a friend
Beautiful duvet but not for the cat owner. Mine now has snags all over it. I was impressed with the quality and it has held up nicely to many washings. Does not wrinkle if put on the bed directly from the dryer.
We are supremely happy with the quality of this duvet. It washed beautifully and is soft and well made.

SLICK - COLT Minute Man Solo Series, Scene #02
Scene Info
SLICK - COLT Minute Man Solo Series, Scene #02
With football in hand, wearing black and blue latex football pants and eye black paint, athletic muscle-man Jake Genesis looks like a rough and tough player who is ready to get down and dirty. Giving his muscles an extra pump, Jake gets down to business. Unlacing the front opening of his football pants he unleashes his bulging manhood. 'Game On!' as Jake takes his thick and meaty cock in hand, slowly stroking his shaft and getting his balls warmed up for a big play to shoot his load. Coating his ripped body in COLT Slick silicone lube Jake massages his muscles, strokes his throbbing cock and explores his hot man hole. Knowing how to handle balls, Jake grinds his SLICK cock against the rough pigskin football. Balls churning as he hammers out a game winning load, our man Jake unleashes a drenching, nut busting river of cum coating the football in a thick layer of his own dick juice. Jake picks up the cum soaked football licking it clean as he enjoys the taste of his own personal best.

The first movie under John Rutherford's direction at COLT studio, after purchasing the studio in 2003, was
RELOAD. Making a hardcore COLT Movie of this quality certainly required some dexterity. The production
had its challenges due to the underwater sex sequence involving Marcus Iron and Rob Romoni. Rutherford
wanted to push the boundaries with the ways viewers got to look at COLT Men by staging innovative shots
of underwater penetration. Award-winning videographer, Todd Montgomery, used an underwater camera
to capture the scenes up close far before anyone else in the industry was doing it at the time. The scenes
were seen up close and the performers were very excited to try something new. The COLT Movie
RELOAD and its underwater scene will be one to remember.
The mood on the COLT Movie set was overall very positive, as each of the guys knew they were making
history and helping to take COLT Studio in a great new direction for the new owners. Of course, having
the opportunity to participate in so much man-on-man action, with a group of muscular men, was also an
incentive to do great work on the set.

Lying to one's chosen mate (and kids?) about..well..just about everything.
Cheating leads to a life of lies..that's the act of a douchebag..no matter how they might want to frame it to make themselves feel okay with it.
I truly believe most cheating is caused by boredom..low self esteem..a need for ego stroking and fantasy..and irresponsibility..immaturity and selfishness. (regardless of how 'in love' they think they are at the moment..this is the person that was once 'in love' with their chosen mate, mind you...so much for their 'love'..people mistake attraction..inrigue..lust for love all the time..it is what it is..later they realize what it is..after the needless pain they caused all they truy loved ..including themselves)
I'm not saying that is how a cheater is always, or always was, or always will be..people are human. They trip, they fall, they stumble, and if sincere in trying to 'get back up' are worthy of forgiveness and maybe even another chance.
But while cheating...the person is a total douchebag..male or female..and deep down they know it.
They certainly know it later..when the hormones have settled a bit and they can look back on it all and see it for what it really was. (whether they landed up with the person they cheated with or not..usually not..fyi)
You must understand..I am talking about people who had origionally chosen a mate they loved ..felt compatible with..made a commitment to..etc...a relationship that is not, has not becoem abusive, etc..
Though, I would say even if in an abusive relationship..one should get out before they start another romance.
Plus cheaters start to really fantasize about the side relationship making it what it's not..and demonizing the crap out of their actual mate..it's deflection, rationalization, projection..these dynamics come into play and really make a cheater become unstable...it's only later on..with a clearer head..after the wreck..that they realize just what they had allow themself to sink to..usually way too late. behavior.
Infidelity is exactly what it has always been warned to be..self destructive and geniunely destructive, selfish behavior..(even if it's now common because of our selfish, immature, fantasy driven,need for immediate gratification..irresponsible society..these days)
