It's Time for Slender, Jewelry-like Women's Watches
Watches that are so delicate and refined they can double as bracelets are taking the place of bulky, men's-style timepieces
IT MAY SURPRISE some to learn that wristwatches were originally created for women. Embraced by royalty in the 1800s, they functioned more as graceful jewelry than mechanisms to tell time. (No doubt Princess Orlov of Russia, whose 1912 Cartier watch featured a diamond bezel and a pearl, onyx and rose-cut diamond strap, had an attendant to keep time for her.)
Delicacy eventually gave way to bulk. Witness the oversize watch trend popular throughout the past decade (when a woman in a man's Rolex defined a certain kind of chic). Luckily for fans of the refined, the pendulum has swung back: The newest models are so slender and light, they might just take flight. These include Hermès's new Faubourg, introduced in late June, which has a round 15.5 millimeter dial. (Previously, the company's smallest was the H Hour Mini at 17.2 millimeters) "[The Faubourg] brings a touch of elegance and secret allure," said Philippe Delhotal, creative and development director of the brand's watch division. Like the Faubourg, Chanel's Première watch (22 millimeters), Dior's La Mini D de Dior (19 millimeters) and Salvatore Ferragamo's Gancino Bracelet watch (22.5 millimeters) could be considered jewelry, their sleek dials mostly absent of time markers.
Those slim watches that are free of diamonds or have just a hint of sparkle can do what a larger watch never could: slip seamlessly between day and evening. Then again, perhaps there's no reason a woman shouldn't have a watch for every occasion. "A man has many watches—X watch for this, Y watch for that," said Daryn Schnipper, chairman of Sotheby's watch division. "Maybe women are looking at it in the same way."

The Douglas High girls and boys basketball teams split playoff atmosphere games Friday against Bishop Manogue.
First, Manogue gained an inside track to the Sierra League girls basketball championship with a 45-35 victory against the Tigers at Randy Green Court. Then the Douglas boys rallied to take a 62-57 victory that assured them a berth in the playoffs.
Douglas (18-7 overall, 11-3 league) only led once in the girls contest — 6-4 late in the first quarter — as their seven-game win streak came to an end.
The Tigers only trailed 37-33 midway through the fourth quarter, however, the Miners (16-4, 12-2) closed with an 8-2 run to put the game away.
Maddy Lowe scored 12 points, Corryne Millett 9 and Leonna Mortimer 8 to lead the Tigers offensively. Breezi Holt scored 15 points and Maddy Lewis 12 for Manogue.
Douglas (12-9 overall, 8-6 league) remained tied with Carson for third-place in the Sierra League — one game behind second-place Damponte Ranch — while Manogue (9-11, 6-8) fell two games behind with two games left in the regular season. The Tigers have clinched a playoff berth since they hold the tie-breaker advantage over Manogue (9-11, 6-8) with wins in both regular season meetings.
Manogue led by 9 points in the first quarter and by 7 early in the second period, only to see Douglas rally back to tie the score 30-30 at halftime. A.J. Pfaffenberger scored 7 straight points to spark a key run in the first quarter after the Miners took a 16-7 lead.
The Tigers outscored Manogue 19-11 in the third quarter.
James Herrick and Pfaffenberger scored 16 points each for Douglas. Austin Evans also scored 13 for the Tigers, who ended a two-game losing streak. Alex Tessmann contributed 5 assists and 4 steals.

What causes painful urination? 34 possible conditions

What Is Painful Urination?
Painful urination is a broad term that is used to describe discomfort during urination. This pain may be caused by your:
- bladder
- urethra (the tube that carries urine outside your body)
- perineum (in men, the area between the scrotum and the anus and in women, the area between the anus and the opening of the vagina)
Painful urination is very common. The pain, burning, or stinging can indicate a number of medical conditions.
Painful Urination Due to Urinary Tract Infections
Painful urination is a common sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs can be caused by bacterial infection or inflammation of the urinary tract.
Your urinary tract is made up of the urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidneys. The ureters are tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. Inflammation in any of these organs can cause pain during urination.
Women and girls are more likely to develop urinary tract infections than men or boys. This is because the urethra is shorter in women than it is in men, and bacteria are more likely to live in a shorter urethra.
According to the National Institutes of Health, women who are pregnant or menopausal also have an increased risk of developing urinary tract infections (NIH).
Other Causes of Painful Urination
Other medical conditions can cause painful urination in men and women.
In men, prostatitis—or the inflammation of the prostate gland—is a primary cause of urinary burning, stinging, and discomfort.
You may also experience pain when urinating if you have a sexually transmitted infection, such as genital herpes, gonorrhea, or chlamydia. It's important to get screened for these infections if you are experiencing pain and have participated in risky sexual activities, such as having sex without a condom or with multiple partners.
Another cause of painful urination is cystitis, or the inflammation of the bladder's lining. Interstitial cystitis (IC)—also known as painful bladder syndrome—is the most common type of cystitis.
Symptoms of IC include pain and tenderness in the bladder and pelvic region. According to the National Kidney and Urologic Disease Information Clearinghouse, doctors do not know what causes IC (NKUDIC).
In some cases, radiation therapy can cause bladder and urinary pain. This condition is known as radiation cystitis.
You may have difficulty urinating comfortably if you have kidney stones. Kidney stones are masses of hardened material located in the kidneys.
Sometimes, painful urination is not caused by an infection, but rather by products that are used on the genital regions. Soaps, lotions, and bubble baths can irritate vaginal tissues. Dyes in laundry detergents and other toiletry products can also cause irritation and lead to painful urination in those that are sensitive to them.
Medical Treatment for Painful Urination
In some cases, your doctor will prescribe medication to treat painful urination.
Antibiotics can treat UTIs, bacterial prostatitis, and treatable sexually transmitted infections. Your healthcare provider may also give you medication to calm your irritated bladder. Drugs used to treat IC include:
- tricyclic antidepressants
- pentosan polysulfate sodium(elmiron)
- acetaminophen (Tylenol) with codeine
Once treatment is started, painful urination that is caused by bacterial infections usually improves fairly quickly. You should always take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes in order to have the best results and fully recover.
Pain associated with interstitial cystitis may be more challenging to treat. Results from drug therapy may be slower. In some instances, you may have to take medication for up to four months before you start to feel better.
Lifestyle Adjustments to Relieve Painful Urination
There are changes you can make in your lifestyle to eliminate episodes of painful urination. Some simple ones are to:
- steer clear of scented laundry detergents and toiletries to reduce your risk of irritation
- use condoms during sexual activity to keep yourself safe from sexually transmitted infections
- modify your diet to eliminate food and drinks that irritate the bladder
According to the NKUDIC, anecdotal evidence suggests that certain foods are more likely to irritate your bladder than others (NKUDIC). Some irritants to avoid include:
- alcohol
- caffeine
- spicy foods
- citrus fruits and juices
- tomato products
- artificial sweeteners
If you suffer from pain during urination, you should also avoid highly acidic foods in order to help your bladder heal. Try to stick with a bland diet for several weeks while you are receiving medical treatment.

See a list of possible causes in order from the most common to the least.
Obstructive uropathy happens when your urine flow reverses direction due to a blockage in a ureter.
Kidney stones are solid masses of crystalized calcium or other substances that originate in the kidneys but can pass through the urinary tract. The greatest risk factor is making less than one liter of urine per day.
UTIs are usually caused by bacteria and can occur in any part of the urinary tract. Symptoms of upper UTIs include pain in the upper back, chills, fever, and nausea.
Usually the urethra is wide enough for urine to flow freely through it. When it narrows, it can restrict urinary flow. This is known as a urethral stricture.
A bladder infection is a bacterial infection. It also may be called a urinary tract infection (UTI), which refers to infection anywhere in the urinary tract, including the bladder, kidneys, ureters, or urethra.
Urethritis is a condition in which the urethra, or the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside the body, becomes inflamed and irritated.
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate gland. Learn more about its symptoms and how your doctor can treat it.
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the reproductive organs in women. It's marked by pain in the abdomen, especially during urination or sex.
The exact cause of bladder cancer is unknown. Learn about its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
Find information on bladder neck obstruction symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatment.
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common kind of kidney cancer found in adults. Often aggressive, it occurs when cancer cells grow uncontrollably in the lining of the tubules of the kidney, causing many possible symptoms.
Vulvovaginitis is a common infection of the vulva and vagina. Symptoms may include itching, discomfort while urinating, and increased vaginal discharge.
Urologic diseases are a wide variety of conditions, all related to the processing and carrying of urine out of the body. They can affect people of all ages.
Dyspareunia is painful sexual intercourse. The same term is used whether the pain results from a medical or a psychosocial problem.
Postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis normally occurs after menopause. The condition can lead to increased vaginal infections and may make sexual intercourse painful.
A vaginal yeast infection is a common female condition caused by a fungus. Symptoms include intense itching, swelling, and irritation. Treatment is often relatively simple.
Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis, a tube located at the back of the testicles. Learn about epididymitis symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the kidney and upper urinary tract. Symptoms include flushed skin, back pain, fever, and nausea.

We connect, and it is in that connection we discover
that that we all live the same lives in many different ways.

Scientists using DNA fingerprinting have proven that drug-resistant "superbugs" are escaping from hog farms into nearby water supplies and becoming part of bacteria that normally operate in the food chain.
Researchers say the findings prove that drug-resistant microbes developed in U.S. farm animals can spread in the environment - and potentially to humans, where they cause resistance to drugs.
"The implications are big," said Roderick Mackie, a professor of animal sciences at the University of Illinois-Champaign, one of the authors of the study. He said U.S. farmers must reconsider current practices of using antibiotic drugs as growth-promoters and restrict drug use only to treating sick animals.
The Animal Health Institute, a group financed by the drug and feed industries, estimates that 20 million pounds of antibiotics were sold for animal use in 1999, with about 10 percent of that amount used to promote growth or improve the feed of animals.
Those statistics are disputed by the Union of Concerned Scientists, which contends about 70 percent of 26 million pounds of animal drugs sold each year are used for growth promotion.
In the Illinois study, researchers looked at tetracycline, a common antibiotic that is used primarily to promote animal growth on pig farms.
Using DNA fingerprinting, they found bacteria with genes resistant to tetracycline in both groundwater and water from a 20-foot-deep underground well one-ixth of a mile from two hog farms that used the drug. One of the farms spread the pig manure on its fields, which Mackie said could have contaminated the groundwater supplies.
The researchers say the DNA fingerprinting showed the tetracycline-resistant genes in the bacteria came from the hogs.
Their study was published in a recent edition of the scientific journal, Applied and Environmental Microbiology. Mackie said the team now is conducting similar tests for the presence of an erythromycin-class drug used in the animal industry.
Richard Wood, executive director of the Food Animals Concerns Trust, said he was concerned by the study, which is the latest to cast questions over the widespread use of antibiotics as growth promoters in American agriculture.
"This is another indicator that we do need to be concerned with antibiotics," said Wood, who serves on a veterinary medicine advisory panel for the Food and Drug Administration.
This year the FDA's center for veterinary medicine, which approves drugs for animal use, withdrew one class of drugs for poultry use and has taken steps toward restricting use of a second drug. The center also announced increased funding for research into anti-microbial resistance in animals.
The British Medical Association predicts that one of the biggest public health problems of this century will be increased human resistance to drugs. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has urged restrictions on farm use of drugs that have human applications.
But the Animal Health Association contends that the increased human resistance to antibiotics is due to over-prescription by physicians and not animal use. Any drug-resistant "superbugs" in meat would be killed in the process of cooking, the group argues.
Wood said there is sufficient scientific evidence of problems that farmers need to respond. "The industry says we can't show them dead bodies, but why do we need to wait until that happens?" he said.
Wood said any move to restrict farm use of antibiotics would cause major changes in modern farming practices.
Antibiotics reduce animal epidemics and make it possible to raise poultry and pigs close together on factory farms. But he said farmers in Sweden and Denmark, both of which banned the use of antibiotics to promote animal growth, made the transition using new bio-security procedures and modern hygiene practices of cleaning barns and stalls after herds and flocks were sent off to slaughter.

A.J. McCarron played the final six games of the 2012 season with injured ribs, the Alabama quarterback revealed in an interview with ESPN.com's Chris Low.
The injury was originally described to reporters as a back contusion. In the third quarter of the Mississippi State game on Oct. 27, McCarron was sacked hard and did not return. He recently told ESPN that he was injured on that sack and had to limit his throwing in practice the following weeks.
"I had three ribs come out of place," McCarron said in this interview. "They kept popping in and out of place, the one at the top, and it was just a nagging pain the whole time.
"I couldn't throw much during the week for a long time, really almost up to the bowl game. I was hurting really bad through the week, and it just took a long time for those ribs to heal."
McCarron also played with a knee brace in the second half of the season after injuring it in the Missouri game on Oct. 13.
McCarron, who threw 30 touchdown passes to just three interceptions last season, didn't miss any games due to these injuries.
"It was part of being a leader," McCarron told ESPN. "We had a lot of guys gutting it out at that point in the season. We all had our eyes on the same thing."

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - Commandos raided a jungle hideout in northeast Colombia on Wednesday, rescuing a 5-year-old American boy abducted by leftist guerillas nearly four months ago.
They also arrested 11 suspected members or associates of the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, who wanted money for the boy, police said.
Lucas Wasson, who had been kidnapped in June, and his parents were reunited at police headquarters in Bogota. The boy's father, Lee Wasson, an American who has lived in Colombia for 18 years, made an impassioned plea for peace and urged an end to the barbarity that is tearing apart his adopted nation.
Kidnapping the young and the elderly "is no way to contribute to peace in Colombia, the Colombia we all love...of marvelous people, of good people," Wasson told a news conference at police headquarters moments after being reunited with Lucas. He had to stop speaking several times to choke back tears.
Wearing a baseball cap and mirrored sunglasses, Wasson, who police said is a 52-year-old native of Los Angeles, spoke in excellent Spanish and profusely thanked the police for rescuing his son. On his way out of the news conference, he gave a bear hug to a startled-looking officer.

Milwaukee Music Video: See Charles Walker Band's treatment for "Hope"
The Charles Walker Band has had a couple of bad breaks lately. It's November release show at Marcus Center for last year's "Relentless" was canceled at the last minute, and then the rescheduled gig at G-Daddy's BBC Jan. 12 had to contend with a Packers playoff game night.
But those bad breaks don't stop the fact that the Milwaukee group has a really fun, party-starting new funk album on its hands. You might have seen a couple of performances when the band stopped by the Journal Sentinel offices for our Sound Check series, but now it has an official music video for "Relentless" track "Hope."

vagina, pussy, twat, cunt, bearded clam, love slit, trim, bush, you know what area I'm talking about. This term is used by women only, and usually by women who don't like the word 'pussy'.
My hoo hoo needs a trimming, its bushing out the sides of my swimsuit.

3 Kitchen Habits for Faster, Better Meals
1. Caramelize onions while you wash the dishes Got a half hour of washing dishes ahead of you? Have a mountain of laundry to fold or some day dreaming to catch up on? Caramelize a pan of onions and freeze them for later. Use in omelets, sandwiches, and quick pasta dishes. • How to Caramelize Onions All you need is a large skillet, a good olive oil or knob of fresh butter and a very low heat. Stir every five minutes or so to prevent burning and enjoy the aroma that wafts its delicate flavors throughout the home. My own favorite way to use caramelized onions is on top of pizza dough for an elegant flatbread appetizer. Brush a little olive oil on a flattened portion of dough, spread onions evenly and top with a little flaky salt and fresh rosemary.
2. Freeze leftover lemon juice, or zest Making a salad dressing? Zesting a lemon? Save whatever is left — put zest or juice in ice cube trays and save it for future baking or lemonade projects. • Quick Tip: Freeze Citrus Zest The acidity of lemon juice can add brightness and balance to almost any recipe. It's crazy how many lemons I go through in one week, between squeezing them into water jugs all day long to seasoning just about every grain salad I whip up, to my favorite use; adding fresh flavor to any baked good I'm testing. Lemon juice and zest, when used sparingly, can be the secret ingredient that will tickle the taste buds and delight eaters.
3. Cook a big pot of quinoa over the weekend Toss the quinoa in a salad, or eat the beans with some fresh vegetables for a fast, nearly instant meal after a long day of work. • How To Cook Quinoa I put on a pot of quinoa every Sunday to throw into lunches, making a salad a whole meal with added heft of whole grains and protein. The versatile grain can also stand in for oatmeal during breakfast time; it cooks beautifully with fresh fruits, coconut milk and topped with toasted coconut. It's also delicious mixed with roasted vegetables, homemade vinaigrette, dried currants and sunflower seeds for a quick vegan meal that will satisfy. Quinoa is endlessly versatile and a great addition to any pantry.

Odyssey Ghost Rider Pale Ale
Also known as Odyssey Ghost Drifter Pale Ale
Commercial descriptionProceed to the aliased beer...
In the Pacific Northwest where rows of hops stripe the landscape, it is said that a thick morning fog will fetch the Ghost Rider. Hops farmers have stories of hearing the muffled snort of a distant horse in their fields. Attempts to discover the equine were always futile, but often the farmer would find unshod hoof prints near the hops with a few hops flowers freshly plucked lying on the ground. It is thought that the horse carries a rider with a keen love of hops. Odyssey has researched these reports to find out what hops the Ghost Rider likes. The Rider seems to prefer Centennial, Chinook, Cascade, and Willamette and our American Pale Ale is our salute to the rider of the fog. Hops added throughout the brew process and into the fermenters exemplify the APA beer style well. Poured into a glass, the hops aroma will drift into your nostrils before your lips touch the glass. The hops flavors will wake up the taste buds, but even with all the hops, there is very little lingering bitterness. This is a session beer.
Odyssey Ghost Drifter Pale Ale
The brewer markets this same or near-same product by more than one names. This can be the result of a brewer distributing this beer under different names in different countries, or the brewer simply changing the name, but not the recipe at different points in time.

Challenger says she was fired after telling Brierre she was running against himStaff Report | June 13,2014Rosemary Kennedy announced her bid for Rutland County state's attorney today with a promise to improve the county prosecutor's office and the disclosure that her boss, incumbent State's Attorney Marc Brierre, fired her Thursday when he learned that she was seeking his job.
Kennedy, the most junior member of the Rutland prosecutor's office, received a standing ovation from Rutland City officials and police officers who attended her campaign announcement inside Rutland City Hall at noon.
A former Chittenden County prosecutor as well, Kennedy said she was invested in Rutland County and in the city where she lives and believed the state's attorney's office needed to do a better job of handling cases involving child abuse and holding participants in the county's drug court system accountable.
She also alluded to the recent aquittal of a woman charged with attempted murder of a city police officer by saying that the prosecutor's office needed to come to court ready to win cases in which law enforcement officers have been assaulted. Brierre handled the unsuccessful prosecution in the recent trial.
After the announcement, Kennedy said in an interview that Brierre told her to clean out her desk when she informed him that she had filed a petition to run for his office. Brierre could not be reached immediately for comment.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A pending deal between the state and federal governments will give a big boost to...

LOS ANGELES - When Charlie Manuel said his bullpen was his palette for improvisational managing, he wasn't kidding.
He has been as unpredictable as possible - and, really, as successful.
Asked Sunday if he worried about offending the tender sensibilities of his bullpen members, Manuel snorted.
"I've seen them all year. I know what they've shown me," Manuel said.
And so . . . Manuel used his best righthanded starter, Joe Blanton, twice out of the pen in the National League Division Series.
Manuel used Game 3 starter J.A. Happ, his lefthanded rookie of the year candidate, in relief in Game 2.

Salka Warns: When I'm at My Best, Nobody Can Beat Me!
By Bill "Two Scoops" Emes
Rod Salka (19-3, 3KOs) is a huge underdog in his upcoming Showtime televised fight against WBC/WBA junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia (28-0, 16KOs) on August 9th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The fans and the writers have been very vocal about their displeasure with the fight. Salka, a lightweight who is unranked at 135 and 140, is now facing the man regarded as the best junior welterweight in the world.
"I don't worry about what anybody else says, because what anybody else says I can't control. I don't worry about any of that stuff - the rivalry, the hype - all that stuff, to me that's a distraction and I don't need any distractions," Salka told BoxingScene.com.
"Stylistically I line up well with anybody in the world. I don't think that there is anybody in the world, when I'm at the top of my game, that I can't beat. And I plan on proving that on August 9th. Danny Garcia, as everybody knows, is a good puncher. He was a good amateur. He can punch, he can box. That's what you are going to get at this level - well, so can I. We're going to get in there August 9th and see who's the better man that night."

It would be a different experience for MBBS aspirants appearing in the upcoming Rajasthan pre-medical entrance exam (RPMT) as the Rajasthan University of Health Services (RUHS) has decided to conduct the test online for the first time. In the previous RPMT, the mode of examination was 'paper and pencil mode' but from this year, the RPMT-2012 will be conducted online. A high-powered committee of the RUHS has already decided on it, an RUHS official said.
The official said the RPMT would be conducted online and added that a common merit list would be prepared on the basis of percentile equalization just like in CET and railway recruitment examinations. Besides, a meeting of the core committee of the RUHS on RPMT will be held soon to discuss other related issues of the online examination. Also, the date of the RPMT would be fixed in the meeting. The RUHS had invited suggestions on March 6 for online RPMT. In the notice, the RUHS had mentioned that the RPMT is conducted in the Rajasthan state by RUHS, Jaipur, and every year. The RPMT is usually conducted in the month of May every year to select the students for admission to the MBBS/BDS courses at different medical/ dental affiliated colleges of RUHS, Jaipur. The online test will be conducted on multiple days in seven centres of the state. These centres would be the government's medical college in Bikaner, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Kota, Ajmer and Jaipur, the official said. The university has also mentioned that for familiarization with the online exam and convenience of students, a demo version of the online exam will be made available over the university website prior to the date of the examination. For confirmation of proper functioning of computers and servers, a demo online exam will also be conducted on the day of exam before the start of the online exam.

Wonderful stew! I dusted my stew meat in seasoned flour and browned it in olive oil before putting it in the crock pot. I added some things-chopped onion, celery, more carrots (6), fresh sliced mushrooms, 6 minced garlic cloves instead of the powder, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, Emeril's Essence, seasoned salt, and a bay leaf. I used beef consomme instead of the broth. I used Great Northern white beans and I added in some fresh minced parsley when I put them in. If the stew is too soupy for you, the flouring /browning meat step will help and another great tip is : when adding the beans, remove a quarter of them and mash them with a potato masher before putting them in the crock pot with the rest of the beans. It will thicken the stew nicely. I recommend using the wine instead of the water, as Parsley did. I served this with crusty sourdough rolls. My whole family LOVED it and I will make this again for sure-so easy and economical too! Thanks!
This was really good! I used green beans instead of carrots, but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. I served with crusty Italian bread to sop up the lovely gravy.
Pretty good, although mine came out pretty soupy. I made exactly per the recipe, and found it a bit bland...next time I'll go to town with the garlic! The good news is that my whole family enjoyed eating this! Thanks for sharing!

Winter's Antiques and Figure Skates
Anniversaries for the City's Skating Club and Antiques Show
It's a real dedication to social life—seeing it all and at the same time wanting to be seen—to make it out of the house for a few appetizers and a glass of Pinot Noir in these jaw-droppingly cold climes.
But somehow, New Yorkers can still get it together, which is more than can be said for us. We just want to order in gluten-free pizza, sip some warm mint tea and watch as many episodes in a row as possible of "Sherlock," "American Horror Story: Coven," "Looking," "Girls" and "True Detective," because, hey, even wearing a parka, gloves, snow boots and a face mask doesn't make us feel any warmer. Also, there is a lot of good television available to watch right now.
Apparently other people in this town don't feel quite same way because the Park Avenue Armory was jampacked the other night at the opening of the Winter Antiques Show, the 60th, which benefits the East Side House Settlement. Among the guests were Martha Stewart; former Mayor Mike Bloomberg; the show's chairman Arie Kopelman and his wife, Coco; CeCe Cord; Bunny Williams and a ton of other people who clearly want to get out of the house because they're looking for things with which to redecorate it. Among the offerings, which may fit your home, depending on your area of taste: a $380,000 painting of King Charles spaniels and a late 16th-century German crossbow for the relative bargain of $95,000.
Another selling point of this particular party, it seems: It is very generous with hors d'oeuvres. We're talking dumpling and carving stations that would put a trip to the sampling stations at Costco to shame.
"Do you want to know one of the secrets to being out and about in this weather?" asked the philanthropist Somers Farkas. "Women can wear patent leather shoes." The goopy snow, she explained, just wipes right off.
It also helps if your home is nearby to the party, and this was a pretty uptown clientele, which might give reason for the nice attendance.
"I live right next door," said Jean Shafiroff.
We forgot to check if she was wearing patent leather shoes, too.
One would assume that supporters of ice skating in New York would have a more optimistic attitude toward the weather than we do. This explains the great and gleeful turnout for a gala benefit for the Skating Club of New York at the New York Athletic Club. This particular organization has been around for 150 years, with the goal of encouraging New Yorkers to, perhaps, socialize less at parties and hit the ice rink a little bit earlier in the morning with a little more regularity.
The excitement for the Sochi games was palpable. Meanwhile, each table was decorated with a mini ice-skating rink—in the shape of a mirror—and at the top of a vase was a red disco ball. Apparently, in earlier days, when officials wanted to let skaters know when it was safe to go on the ice in, say, Central Park, they would raise a red ball from a bell tower. On the mirror slash ice rink were cardboard cutouts of the many skaters in the organization's 150-year history.
Gold Olympic medalist Sarah Hughes had a cardboard cutout of herself skating on the improvised rink at her table. A fan brought another over to have her sign it. Ms. Hughes, who praised the Skating Club of New York for "creating opportunities for skaters," said she had no interest in bringing home a cardboard cutout of herself. She didn't have room for yet another knickknack.
"But I do," her seatmate piped in. "I'm her mother. I've got lots of room. I'll figure out where to hang it."

@WiiAssassin. I was talking about the youtube vid. There was a comment which said the same thing as you did and I liked that comment.
But anyway. I freakin love the changes they made for Olimar. I'll just instantly get to the point: I think he will get a new down special, since it never really was that useful and now that he's only get 3 Pikmin following him the chance if it being replaced is pretty big. Time for an epic Rock pikmin attack I wonder what they'll do with the rock Pikmin though... I can't think of anything at the moment. Really hope that theory is true

Overall Experience:
Haverford embodies the idea of collaboration over competition; no-one talks about grades, for instance. The area is beautiful, the facilities are superb, and the people emphasise the role of community through the lens of the all-encompassing Honor Code.
Party Scene:
Parties here typically only happen on Friday and Saturday nights, and some of them are good and some are bad. Based on which campus group is hosting the event, it is usually pretty easy to predict whether it will be an enjoyable event or not beforehand. For those who aren't into parties, Nerd House on campus has a bunch of great, creative options every weekend.
Party Scene:
Parties definitely have had a positive impact on my experience here. Everyone comes together for them, so its a good way to hang out with people you are friends with but might not have classes with or bump into a lot during the week.
Professors really care about students, and the classes are generally very interesting. There is a pretty big workload, but it is definitely possible to do well if time is managed well, and there are many resources on campus to turn to for help with academic work and planning.
There is definitely diversity on campus, and the vast majority of people are very accepting. Ethnic/racial diversity isn't talked about all that often, but there are places on campus to go to engage in such discussions. The most outspoken people on campus are liberal, so at times it can seem that that is the opinion of the whole school, but in actuality there is a pretty even mix of political beliefs.
Drug Safety:
There is a real choose-for-yourself vibe here. I have never experienced peer pressure to drink or do drugs, and it is definitely possible to have great fun on weekends without using substances. Because of the honor code, the campus administration is very lenient regarding alcohol use. Campus Safety is always there to call when a situation may be getting out of hand, and it is their goal to protect people, not to be punitive.
Health & Safety:
The Safety and Security office at Haverford is great. They are very approachable and helpful, and they do a good job of addressing problems when they arise. I think more people feel very safe on this campus and the loss of property is not a common problem here at all.
Overall Experience:
Professors here really care about the success of students. They have plenty of office hours and are happy to meet with students outside of those hours if they are asked to. I've definitely had some professors who were better than others at explaining the material in the class or who were much more engaging and interesting than others, but I think all over them had good intentions and attempted to be fair to the best of their ability.
Overall Experience:
While Haverford has fewer alumns than other, bigger school, from what I understand people in the network try hard to help other people in the network/students still going to the college.
Campus Housing:
I love living on campus. I currently live in what is generally considered the worst dorm on campus, and I still really like it; I would be happy to keep living here for the next three years of college. Since Haverford does not have a huge campus, most dorms are really close to classes - it takes me less than five minutes to walk to my farthest class.
About 1/3 of Haverford students are varsity athletes, and some teams perform well for their division. There isn't a ton of school spirit, and athletics are mainly important to those who are directly involved in them. Students do sometimes go to games or events to support the school or their friends.
People don't generally attend games which is a bit of a bummer. Most of the teams are pretty competitive in the Centennial conference and I have heard good things about the coaches. The teams are pretty close knit groups socially. Facilities are up to date and I have no complaints with them.
Haverford is very liberal and I would say the vast majority of people make a concerted effort to make the community an excepting place for everyone. Of course we have problems, who doesn't? Despite our stated values and the general inclusiveness of our campus, we are a largely white, middle-upper class community. I can't speak for minorities on campus because I'm a white/hetero/cis-gendered woman and I have it pretty easy. There are spaces for expression and discussion of the issues that our community experiences and I think in the current climate people are starting to speak up more than ever. There are a number of groups trying to bring awareness to various types of privilege on campus (economic, racial, etc.) and just get people to acknowledge it and talk about it. Students have expressed problems with microaggressions and indifference toward injustice. I think we have a lot of systems in place to handle instances of offensive behavior among students and generally people in the community look out for one another. However, our values and image sometimes lead us to forget that things happen here too, even if we seem like a community where they wouldn't.
Registration process is painless--it's very unlikely that you won't get into a class you want unless it is extremely popular. Professors are always a matter of personal preference--there are teaching styles that work well for some and not for others. I have really enjoyed almost all of my professors, and respected them both as experts in their field and excellent instructors. Classes are engaging, unique, and offer knowledge in areas that are especially interesting to Haverford students. We have a Peace, Justice, and Human Rights department. A lot of our classes examine very relevant issues around economics, race, politics, scientific innovation, etc. The workload is moderate, but you definitely have the power to control your own stress. Professors are known for giving more/less work and they're very clear about assignments in their syllabi. We also have self-scheduled exams! Whether you stay in your comfort zone or challenge yourself with your classes, your workload almost always depends on time management.
Health & Safety:
Campus security is awesome. Haverford is generally very safe. It is an "open" campus, meaning that the surrounding community can enter freely during certain hours (just not in the middle of the night), which has occasionally caused problems, but not anything serious. I have not personally had any experiences with sexual assault, but it does occur. I would say that it occurs at a rate much lower than most schools, but like at any other American college, it's an issue.
Overall Experience:
Even if I haven't loved all of my professors, my classes have always been interesting. There is a wide variety of fascinating and relevant courses offered at Haverford, and there are some incredible professors. The two classes where I wished there had been something different about the style of instruction were classes that I took my freshman year, before I was well acquainted with the departments and before I had a decent number of upperclassmen contacts that could provide me with prof suggestions and reviews. Class sizes are generally very small and most center on a seminar/heavy-discussion style (at least in the humanities and social sciences). Although students can take classes at U Penn and Swarthmore, the most common exchange is between Haverford and Bryn Mawr, which have complimentary departments and scheduling. I have really enjoyed the accessibility of Bryn Mawr classes--they double the catalog of courses and are the exact same in terms of credits.
Overall Experience:
The career center works really hard to help students find internships during the year/summer and jobs after graduation. I would say that the network of Haverford alumni, because it is such a small and tight-knit community, is really strong. If an employer who went to Haverford years before you finds out that you were in the same improv comedy group as they were, it's a helpful boost. Haverford is especially well-connected for students who are seeking opportunities in social-justice related work. The curriculum and program at Haverford is also geared in some ways toward giving students a strong starting base for a career in academia.
Campus Housing:
There is enough housing for all students. There are a variety of housing options and it is generally not too difficult to get your first or second choice (a little harder if you are a rising sophomore). The housing coordinators are extremely accessible and kind. We have community houses, dorms, and on-campus apartments, all of which are generally good quality.
Haverford is a D-III school. I am not a varsity athlete, but a club athlete. The varsity teams have a lot of privileges and resources that other teams don't receive. There are a number of club teams that are as or more committed and successful as varsity teams but we don't gain any recognition or resources. The teams offer great "families" within the broader community to those who join them, but I would say that being a varsity athlete means you will be spending a great deal of your time with the team and not with other groups.
Health & Safety:
There is very little crime on campus, mostly thanks to the honor code. However, because of the honor code, many people think that Haverford is completely absolved from the prospect of something bad happening, which is certainly not the case. Our rates of crime and reported sexual assault are lower than a lot of places, but they are not nonexistent.
Overall Experience:
I have had some really great professors and intriguing courses at Haverford. And, although I am a Haverford student, I am majoring at Bryn Mawr--so I haven't taken any classes that weren't art at Haverford in a while. Even though I haven't taken many Haverford classes recently, I think it's awesome that I am able to major and minor at Bryn Mawr (the International Studies and Italian departments are at Bryn Mawr and don't exist at Haverford). I have also taken a class at Swarthmore and hope to take a class at UPenn next year. The classes in the Tricollege Consortium (Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Swarthmore) are all pretty small; the largest class I have taken was 40 people and the smallest class I have taken had 6 students. Professors are required to have office hours, which makes them available if you have any questions or just want to start a conversation about something, but if you can't make a professor's office hours, then it is usually pretty easy to schedule a better time to meet.
Overall Experience:
I haven't noticed a lot of recruiters on campus, however our career center does a great job of connecting students with organizations that they are interested in.
Campus Housing:
Housing is great because most people can get a single. I have yet to have a roommate at Haverford, and with just one year left, I don't plan to have one. Tritton (a freshman dorm) and Kim (an upperclassmen dorm) are the nicest college dorms I've ever seen--they look like 5 star hotels. I think our housing cost is higher than other schools, but you can clearly see why when you get on campus. Gummere is largely considered the worst dorm because it is old, has a confusing layout, and has small showers, but it's honestly on par with most other colleges' dorms.
A lot of Haverford's teams are very good in their conference, but of course as a division three school, we don't get the same funding or fan turnout as a bigger school may. However, our gym is one of the nicest in our conference and we have great facilities that both athletes and non-athletes can use.
Overall Experience:
The great thing about Haverford is that so many activities are student led, so you have a lot more power than students at most schools do. If there is ever anything that you want to do, it's so easy to just join a club, and if there's something that you want to do that is not already happening on campus, it's easy to just start something on your own and even get funding from the school.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
On the whole, students are satisfied with their experience at Haverford. Most seniors look back on their Haverford education with a distinctive appreciation. It is a fondness that comes from understanding how profoundly the College has changed them. Haverford teaches its students more than just school subjects: it teaches them to lead honorable lives. Students feel that they have learned just as much from each other and the Haverford community as they have from their courses and professors. Many alumni do not realize the scope of their education until years later, but the impact is almost always felt. In this way, Haverford is unique.
Academically, the school has a spirit of reflective intellectualism that discourages students from becoming too detached from the real world. Social relations are guided by honor and civility. The student body generally has a sense of purpose and perspective and knows how to relax while tackling a challenging school curriculum. Granted, Haverford is not for everyone. Extreme partiers will not be happy here, nor will those who have no thirst for learning. Haverford's small size and rigorous classes will quickly make for an unwelcome atmosphere if you don't accept them. Also, the school can get suffocating if you don't get out of town once in awhile. However, if you're looking for a place where everyone knows everyone else's name, where the college president will meet with you on a moment's notice about anything, and where students bond over the heavy (but manageable) workload, Haverford is a terrific choice.

One day while she was bored in our house she just asked me if she could play my gameboy sp. So i gave it to her. The game super mario bros 3 was in gameboy. For the next week all she did was play the game. I had never knew she was a born gamer. She even went further than I did in the game. i had not finish the game yet becuase I had a lot of work to do. Even after she beat the game in one week she went back to the game to try to beat her record and beat the game even faster. she even attempted to get every single coin in each level, talk about hardcore. I was glad that my little sister is a gamer like me but I never how much of a gamer she was. She puts me to shame. But as i think now I think I just destroyed her childhood by getting her addicted to games, especially mario games. All kinds of mario games are her favorite. She made me rent Mario Party, Super Mario 64, She beat Mario Sunshine 3 times, and mario golf, tennis, and now she wants mario DDR. I guess mario really is addicting. All she does now is spend her time on my gamecube instead of going outside and playing with her friends. I am now worried and...kinda happy at the same time. I just hope she doesn't turn into one of those obsessive gamers.
I know all mario games are good but can they be good for her if they're THIS addictive?
