Off-Campus Housing:
The Vinings are a popular choice for many upperclassmen, and I know that Furman helps with assigning students to live in the Vinings.
Off-Campus Housing:
The Vinings, the off-campus housing, has no furniture and Furman doesn't cover amenities. Plus, it's ridiculously expensive.
Off-Campus Housing:
There is no off-campus housing options unless you get special permission. You have to be approved and its a hassle.
Off-Campus Housing:
Off-Campus housing is limited, and you have to pay for internet, electricity etc. I recommend staying on campus.
Off-Campus Housing:
Furman makes it impossible for you to live off campus because that would mean that the housing department does not get your money. The housing department at Furman is absolutely awful. North Village is the only place on campus where students can drink if they are of age, but since Furman does not want anyone to live off campus, they have resulted to putting JUNIORS IN DORMS. Which is absolutely ridiculous! In that case, a 21 year old could not drink in his room because dorms are alcohol free.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Furman requires that all undergraduate students live on campus. Because there isn't enough housing, seniors are allowed to enter an off-campus housing lottery. The reality is that the on-campus apartments are just about as nice as anything off campus. They each have two baths with either two or four bedrooms, and they are furnished relatively nicely. Most students love the convenience and sense of community they get from living on campus. The only major downside is that even if you are over 21, you are not allowed to have alcohol on campus. If you are caught with it, you can be written up, fined, and have a letter sent home. Although it is pretty easy to get away with having alcohol, it seems unreasonable that a 21-year-old caught with a bottle of wine will have a note sent home to their parents. The ones who usually get in trouble are only the rowdy, loud drinkers.
Despite the regulations, Furman students usually love campus apartment life. However, only juniors and seniors are allowed to live in the apartments, so you have to wait a few years to get there. Because of the tight housing situation, they run out of room for a few groups of juniors every year. This is a big problem because they have to live on campus and either live in the dorms or with people they don't know.

Nominated for a Maxwell Award from DWAA as the best Human/Animal Bond book of 2012
Dan was a traveling business man content with his life when a twist of fate pulled him off the road and changed his life forever. A chance meeting with an unexpected puppy captured his heart, and before he knew it he was getting certified as a dog trainer, opening a dog day care and training facility and running a rescue for Weimaraners. Just when he thought he had seen it all, a friend alerted him to an advertisement for a Weimaraner described as a show dog. Upon their meeting Dan was horrified at the dog's condition and vowed to give him a better life. Little did he know the dog, Maverick, would be the one taking Dan on an unforgettable journey.
As seen on ABC World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer, this book tells the heartwarming tale of the full journey of Maverick from a life of abuse and neglect to being the much-loved underdog at the 2012 Westminster Dog Show in New York.
Proceeds from this book directly benefit Mid-Atlantic Weimaraner Rescue. If you are considering getting a Weimaraner, please check rescue and adoption resources first. Purebred dogs end up in shelters every day.
"This is an inspirational book that is truly "about the dog."
-David Baker, Editor, publisher, news designer and copy editor, Pets Adviser and Super Copy Editors
"Every reputable breeder can relate to the panic when 'one of his/hers' is unaccounted for. Every rescue person can tell a dozen horror stories of abuse and neglect. Every rescue volunteer can tell stories of happy endings. But only Dan can tell Maverick's story – his story will leave a paw print on your heart."
–Dr. Dana Massey, Award-winning Breeder/Owner Win'Weim Weimaraners and AKC Judge
"It seems like you can't look ten feet these days without running into someone's memoir about their dog. They're everywhere, and they all kind of blend into one story after a while – except Dan and Maverick. Their story has something for everyone, whether you are a dog fancy expert, rescue advocate, or just someone who is moved by the power of one man's unwavering belief inside this neglected creature he found on Craigslist was the heart of a champion. It's a story you would find hard to believe if it were a work of fiction because it's just such an unbelievable trajectory. Way to go Mav!"
-Jessica Vogelsang, DVM, author and owner of Pawcurious Media
"As many dog books and stories of rescue that I've encountered over the years, this one is something unlike anything that I've ever heard. Having had the privilege to meet Dan and Maverick in person, I can testify that the love that emanates between the two of them is incredibly powerful, as is the bond that they have forged. One Unforgettable Journey is the story of a man with a heart of gold and a dog with the heart of a champion."
-Dr. Katy Nelson - Veterinarian, Host of The Pet Show with Dr. Katy on Washington DC's News Channel 8, WTOP's "Dr. Pawz," and host of Pawsitive Talk on HealthyLife.Net
"It's not very often that one has the opportunity to peer into a world that is beyond ourselves. Animal rescues, dog shows and life choices are just a handful to mention. But One Unforgettable Journey encompasses more than that. With a fire-side chat nostalgia, Dan and Kristine lay out a light yet heartwarming tale of a Maverick: a dog who truly begets his name. Whether a pet owner, fancier or someone who just appreciates the bonds we have with our four legged friends, this book carries the tones of how every rescue can and often is the Best in our hearts."
-Xavier A. Santiago, International Actor, On-Air Host, Animal Planet's Groomer Has It Judge, Producer, Breeder and Professional Handler

Student Health Insurance
If you are an undergraduate or law student electing coverage through the school sponsored insurance plan, you do not need to take any action. Students are afforded one opportunity in each academic year to waive the school's coverage. If students do not submit an annual health insurance waiver, they will be automatically enrolled in coverage through the Student Health Insurance Plan. Therefore, by virtue of not submitting a health insurance waiver, you will be covered through the school's insurance.
Students in the Graduate School of Education and Counseling are not required to have health insurance, but it is strongly encouraged. Graduate students may enroll directly in the 2016-2017 coverage by contacting USI NW at 1-800-251-4246 and talking to Patricia Wylie or Cassie Brown. You must enroll within 31 days from the effective date of coverage each semester (fall semester deadline is October 1, 2016 and spring semester deadline is February 1, 2017). It is your responsibility to purchase coverage each semester by the enrollment deadline.
If you have questions about the 2016-2017 plan, e.g., about the provider network, check out the PacificSource webpage for our plan, or contact PacificSource at 1 (855) 274-9814 M-F 7am – 5pm PST.

Your wedding day is likely to be one of the happiest and most memorable days in your life. For this reason, most people go through a fairly extensive process when choosing their wedding photographer. To help you with this decision process, here is a look at four things that you should know before hiring a wedding photographer.
Are They Creative and Innovative?
In today's world, you can find plenty of professionals claiming to have years of experience providing wedding photography services. What is generally more difficult to find, however, is someone that has the creativity and innovative ideas to ensure that your wedding photos and videos stand out.
You can generally get a good idea of the creativity and innovation that photographers provide by taking a look at their portfolios. Most will have plenty of examples on their websites that will give you a better idea of just how well they can make the memory of your wedding day last forever.
Are They Friendly, and Can They Handle Guests Well?
No matter how good the wedding photographer is, it can be a nightmare to deal with someone that is not friendly and has

Skip to comments.Book Review: 'A Troublesome Inheritance' by Nicholas Wade
Posted on 05/03/2014 1:51:51 PM PDT by globelamp
".. The orthodoxy's equivalent of the Nicene Creed has two scientific tenets. The first, promulgated by geneticist Richard Lewontin in "The Apportionment of Human Diversity" (1972), is that the races are so close to genetically identical that "racial classification is now seen to be of virtually no genetic or taxonomic significance."
The second, popularized by the late paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, is that human evolution in everything but cosmetic differences stopped before humans left Africa, meaning that "human equality is a contingent fact of history," as he put it in an essay of that title in 1984."
"Since the sequencing of the human genome in 2003, what is known by geneticists has increasingly diverged from this orthodoxy, even as social scientists and the mainstream press have steadfastly ignored the new research. Nicholas Wade, for more than 20 years a highly regarded science writer at the New York Times, has written a book that pulls back the curtain."
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
If the subjects' ancestors came from all over the inhabited world, the clusters that first emerge will identify the five major races: Asians, Caucasians, sub-Saharan Africans, Native Americans and the original inhabitants of Australia and Papua New Guinea.
What the heck are "Asians?
Turks, Arabs, Indians, Malaysians, Chinese?
Seems to me that's WAY too much diversity to consider a single race.
Haven´t read the book yet, but I would guess that "asians" are a joint term for north-east and south-east asians (I:e. turks and arabs are caucasians, not "asians").
There is certainly a lot of diversity within every such "racial category", but we are facing a problem of informational economy here with no fixed categories.
Turn out the lights, the party's over.
Over the long run, this tends to degrade the integrity of mankind's ancient search for truth, sometimes called "the Conversation."
The search for objective truth is the human race's best hope for a peaceful future. The degradation of that search process leads to division and - ultimately - violence.
Science is a system for discovering truth based on physical evidence. The language of Science - of which Mathematics is so large a part - is a medium of communication, but it is something more than that. It is a formal system, part of a larger system that enables people from different cultures, who speak different languages and live in different places... that enables all these people to make their contribution to the search of objective truth.
The Truth Shall Set You Free is much more than an aphorism.
Don't know about the book, but the review misses two very important points.
Human evolutionary pressure since becoming intelligent has primarily operated between groups, not individuals. Losing groups were wiped out.
Or, more accurately, the males were. The females were generally kept alive as secondary wives for the victors.
So evolutionary pressures acted primarily on groups of males. IOW, the primary evolutionary pressure through most of human history was to be on the winning side of wars.
The genetic evidence shows this very clearly. The male line of inheritance is much less diverse than the female line, because of all the male lines that were wiped out when the females were allowed to live and breed.
As it didn't work out too well for the Nazis to reject modern physics as "Jewish science."
I realize you are probably right. Asians in this context are what we used to call Orientals, before the term became for some reason derogatory. Which is very odd, since all it means is "Easterners," which is an indisputably accurate term.
My beef is that "Asian" not only is an imprecise term, it doesn't mean the same thing everywhere even in the Anglosphere.
In US "Asian" means the north and south east Asians you described. In UK and I believe Oz "Asian" means South Asians from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.
Didn't work out to great for the Jews, either.
OTOH, the Jews were able to develop despite being generally persecuted for the past 2,000 years.
Unless 2,000 years is too short a time to make much evolutionary difference.
You are talking about group selection, which has also been out of favor in the scientific community for a long time (in my view since it has been seen to have unpalatable implications).
My guess without having read the book is that Wade will probably touch on the topic.
But I think it underscores your point that ignoring scientific fact doesn't work out well eventually for those who do so, whether the German Nazis, or today's liberals.
I haven't read the article yet,but globelamp is right. I was always told that there were only 3 races, caucasian, negro and oriental (Native Americans and Aborigines would be oriental in that system I think).
Not too too long ago on another thread here someone said there are something like 7 races,but I forget what they all were.
But it makes sense to me with the 5 groups described.
It is silly that so many groups who are,in fact, caucasians (that is to say WHITE) natter on about being "brown" or "asian" or "the other". So much emphasis is put on skin color and then you watch a show like "Bones" or anything like that and the scientists tell you race just from looking at a skeleton. So clearly the difference in skin is probably the least of it.
Now on to read the article!
Yes, we should not overestimate group selection. But it is probably one factor that explains why we are the way that we are.
He says more elegantly what many of us figured out years ago on our own: cultures that develop in harsh climates have to be tougher and smarter than those who live where food grows all year round.
Yes, asking "how many races are there" is a bit like asking "how many categories of furniture are there?". Well, it depends on how much resolution you want.
What the liberals did was essentially to jump from "You can´t say exactly how many kinds of furniture there is" to "Furniture does not exist". Pretty dumb, but surprisingly effective at shutting down discussion for decades.
On a recent BBC documentary, I forget which one, they used genetics to somehow trace all human races and nationalities down their various branches to determine who was the most direct living descendent of the first human. It turned out to be a nomad living in tent somewhere in Kazakhstan. When the BBC film crew showed up to interview him and celebrate their discovery, they brought a doctor with them. When the man saw the doctor he was visibly disturbed because, as he said later, he thought that if the doctor brought such a crowed with him, it must be to tell him that he had some very serous disease.
Read some of the comments at the review.
Most common reaction seemed to be fear that real differences would be found, so let's not do the research in the first place.
As if resolutely ignoring the facts will change them.
BTW, the author of this review, Charles Murray, wrote The Bell Curve 20 years ago and was crucified by liberals for doing so. The whole point of that book was to discuss differences in intelligence (defined as IQ in the book) and how modern life has less and less place for those with lower IQs. With the purpose of suggesting changes that might stop or slow their gradual explusion from any valued role in society. Their prescience has been eminently demonstrated since, as the changes they predicted are happening faster and faster. (Though nobody wants to talk about them except by means of euphemisms such as "income inequality.")
But the book was trashed because it didn't shy away from the implications of lower IQ among certain ethnic groups, so it was denounced universally as "racist."
But the longer the penny stays screwed in behind the fuse, the bigger is the resulting fire.
You are quite right. The Jews are the obvious exception. But I know of no other ethnic group, at least not one that is widely distributed, that is identifiable from 3000 years ago.
There is obviously more than one possible evolutionary strategy. The Jews have for the last 2000 years followed a different one.
It should be noted that if a certain war 70 years ago had gone the other way, the Jews' evolutionary strategy would have probably utterly failed by now.
The higher IQ of Ashkenazi Jews is widely attributed to evolutionary pressure selecting for intelligence of the bookish type, which didn't operate very strongly in other societies.
It might be noted that in modern western societies, evolutionary pressures are apparently operating to select for lower IQ, lesser socio-economic success, etc. For the very first time in history, there is an inverse relationship between reproductive success and general success in life.
If these Third World immigrants coming to America have a gene for despotism, good night Irene.
My wife is Chinese. She has told me that she can read and understand written words found in ancient Chinese records 5000 years old.
I'm afraid that idea makes no sense at all to me. Aren't we all equally descended from the first humans? Who else could we be descended from?
I suspect they were probably trying to come up with the genotype closest to that of the first humans. If so, it seems highly likely to me he would be found somewhere in East Africa, where evolutionary pressures have probably been less diverse than elsewhere.
Very good piece - thanks for sharing it.
Murry lays out well how, again and again, the Left is anti-science, a role they like to ascribe to our side.
But I was struck by this "[the book discusses} circumstantial evidence that the genetic characteristics of the English lower class evolved between the 13th century and the 19th."
That is interesting, but what is meant by "lower class", esp.in that time frame? I mean, wouldn't that be almost everybody?

I agree that China has a very ancient culture. But it had many, many incursions from the steppe bringing in new blood, with the Mongols and Manchus only the most recent.
Chinese ideograms are astonishingly conservative, because they don't have to change with the pronunciation of the language.
But I suspect Chinese of today would have a lot less in common with those of the early Chou dynasty than today's Jews with King David.
HA! When I take over the world I will a. get the Jews on my side and b. not invade Russia. I have learned the lessons of history.
And as soon as my laundry is done....and my nail polish is dry....World - LOOK OUT!
I would guess that passage refers to Gregory Clark´s "A farewell to alms":
And yes, the lower class would indeed be the bulk of the population - hence the relevance. ;)
"Read some of the comments at the review.
Most common reaction seemed to be fear that real differences would be found, so lets not do the research in the first place."
This is the supreme irony: Liberalism was born as a rebellion against scripture and dogma, in favor of the Fearless Pursuit of Truth for the Betterment of Mankind (TM).
Now it is increasingly appearent that Liberalism has put that ambition aside, and is just sliding into becoming dogma without the benefit of metaphysical justification (indeed, without any philosophical justification whatsoever once the whole "truth" thing has been pulled out from under it...).
I think I know what this involves.
Extensive analysis of birth rates over 1000 years of English history have shown that the nobility, gentry and merchants had a significantly higher surviving number of children than the serfs/peasants/artisans.
In the economy of the times, not all could maintain their parent's status. So the younger sons all took a step down.
Noble younger sons became gentry. Gentry younger sons became farmers. Merchant younger sons became artisans, etc.
Over many generations this resulted in the lower classes gradually being changed genetically to be closer to the upper classes, and this is sometimes used to explain the gradual emergence of England as a world power.
Sorry I don't have more detail on the thesis, but I think that's the gist of it.
Apparently this didn't apply to the same extent on the Continent, I'm unsure why.
Widely distributed ethnic groups are rather rare - people have a tendency to stay put (with some spectacular exceptions during some periods, obviously)...
True. Which is of course another way the Jews are unique.
The Japanese are probably almost identical genetically to the Japanese of 2000 years ago, since nobody invaded Japan. (Except the Mongols, and it didn't work out well for them.)
The Chinese probably much less so.
But the Jews were one of many small peoples around the eastern end of the Med. Where are the Edomites, Moabites and Ammonites? Where are the Arameans and Chaldeans?
They're gone, but the Jews are still here. To my mind, anyway, this is pretty much proof of something unique about them.
There are still Egyptians in Egypt and Greeks in Greece, but they don't have much of anything in common with those who lived in those lands 3000 or 5000 years ago. So are they still "the same people" in the way the Jews and (possibly) the Chinese are?
That struck me too. What is he talking about?
For example, there's a movement now to reconstruct how English was actually pronounced in Shakespeare's time, and they're actually putting on plays in what they call "original pronunciation."
It sounds like the way movie pirates talk -- "war" for example is "waaahr", like the pirates' "aaarrrr!" One of the ways to try to reconstruct the pronunciation is to take old poems, like Shakespeare's sonnets, and assume that the words really do rhyme, where they don't rhyme in today's language. (I noticed the lack of rhymes when I was a kid, and wondered why. Apparently it's due to pronunciation changes.)
Anyway, the original pronunciation experts say the modern upper class British pronunciation only dates from the last 200 or 250 years. In Shakespeare's time there was no "upper class" pronunciation.
But if that's true, it would seem that "lower-class" eveolutionary genetic distinctions, if any, could hardly go back much more than say 250 years.
It was when the English language moved its vowels.
A couple of thoughts on this - I have heard that the English spoke in Appalachia (among the most heavily accented and that may all be being lost due to TV, etc.) is close to the English spoken in Shakespeare's time. I have no idea if this is true, but I've heard it many times.
It does make sense to think the words in a poem would rhyme, I will say that!
Another thing, I watched that movie "gangs of new york" which takes place in the mid-1800s. I complained to my friend about the characters "noo yawk" accents, but she told me that it was actually historically accurate that the new york accent we know and love was actually that old.
How anyone knows this in the era before recording I have no clue!
Anyway, I figured it was impossible to ever know.
But then I heard about this idea of assuming that the old poems really did rhyme. Brilliant insight!
There are archaic words still spoken in Appalachia that go back that far but the structure and dialect are more Scottish. You have to go to the other end of Virginia and North Carolina to encounter spoken English with a structure and dialect that are very close to Elizabethan English, on isolated barrier islands and remote mainland communities on the bays and sounds. In NC, Hyde County is most associated with this. There's an island in the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia that's well known for it as well, but the name of that island escapes me at the moment. Famous for shellfish I think, residents put out crab pots and such for a livelihood.
That makes sense, thanks for explaining it. Although you are right why would it not have occurred on the continent. But is that really "evolution"?
By law. Primogeniture law. Younger sons did not inherit, only the firstborn. This also drove many younger sons of minor nobility and merchants to the colonies. Many indentured themselves willingly. They had a word for doing this but can't recall it.
I guess that depends on your definitions.
It's certainly differential survival of groups, but that might not result in real evolution unless those groups were significantly different from each other to begin with.
As I said, I'm a little vague on the details of the idea, but it seems to be based on the notion that the English upper classes of 1300 were genetically more competent than the lower classes. Which is at minimum a debatable proposition
The article seemed to be implying a divergence of genetic profiles between upper and lower classes, which I don't think makes sense.
Here's a review that I think makes a lot more sense than the book does.
Historically, rich people always had more surviving children than poor people. Rich people never starved, always had good clothing, and got better medical care. (To the extent there was any such thing.)
So it's likely that rich people throughout history have generally been more successful at reproducing their genes. Especially because upper-class men have generally had a lot more children than those borne by their wives.
Unless I'm mistaken, primogeniture applied to landed estates, not other forms of property.
Of course, in the earlier days we're talking about, that would have been a distinction without much difference, since there wasn't much in the way of other types of property.
Interestingly, when Anglicans dominated Ireland, they enforced equal division between his sons of the inheritance of a Catholic. Unless one of them converted, in which case he got it all.
Younger sons of nobles and gentry often had a commission purchased for them in the Army or Navy, or went into the Church.
In Catholic countries that generally meant their genes disappeared. In Protestant countries the clergy was often quite prolific.
Gentry and merchants often bought younger sons an apprenticeship in some trade, in which they could become journeymen and eventually masters. An apprenticeship, at least in one of the more desirable guilds, was expensive, and was viewed as the rough equivalent today of sending a child to college.
"Which is at minimum a debatable proposition"
Yes, I'm not sure those groups (one quite large, the other rather small) were different enough that differences in mortality can't be explained by circumstances (food, shelter, etc.) rather than genetics.
I'm not sure about that for any group in historical memory actually.
The new tool also has implications when it comes to the study of the geographical origin of certain populations, such as the Roma Gypsies or European Jews. In fact, Dr. Elhaik believes that GPS may significantly alter our perception of ethnicity. "It is impossible for any of us to tick one box on a form such as White British or African as we are much [more] complex models with our own unique identities," he said. "The notion of race is simply not plausible."
For obvious reasons, there is no effective firewall between the two -- no matter how properly the social niceties are observed in choices of marriage partners, there are too many opportunities for hanky-panky between the gentry and the hired help.
Jews are a distinct group who are not (and I doubt they really see themselves as) White.
The Jews survive because they always as "is it good for the Jews?" unlike Whites who always ask "is it good for everyone else?"
Jews will viciously attack anyone who threatens (or even questions) their interests; Whites will invite hostile aliens into to their countries and hand over control.
Their high intelligence and intellectual aggressiveness allow them make best use of that ethnocentric outlook. That is why we have the American Israel Public Affairs Committee but not the American British Public Affairs Committee which would make much more sense given our historical, cultural, linguistic, and racial connections to Britain.
If Whites Westerners were to adopt the same attitudes we would not have many of the problems we do. It is interesting that Jews like Chuck Schumer for the Democrats and Sheldon Adelson for the Republicans push strongly for open borders for us but want to preserve the particular ethnic makeup of Israel.
These attitudes are why Jews survive and White nations are dying. We would do well to adopt these attitudes for ourselves.

A family affair: Ben Affleck takes little Seraphina out for a stroll while Jennifer Garner spends time with Samuel
With both of their parents being extremely busy Hollywood actors, it's not always easy to spend time with them.
But Ben Affleck and Jennifer were seen enjoying quality time with their children while in different parts of the country.
While Ben got to take middle child Seraphina for a fun filled time around Los Angeles, California, Jennifer was seen in New Orleans, Louisiana with son Samuel.
Like father, like daughter: Ben Affleck and Seraphina wore matching facial expressions on an outing to the Brentwood Country Mart on Wednesday, while Jennifer Garner was across the country with son Samuel
Both stars were out and about on Wednesday with their little ones close by their sides for some essential bonding.
Jennifer, 40, looked smart in a thick fitted blue winter coat as she headed out for coffee with a friend and pushed her son in a pram.
Garner made sure that little Samuel was wrapped up warm in the cool weather as she dressed him in a blue snowsuit.
Family time: Jennifer Garner took her son Samuel for a stroll as she wandered around New Orleans, Louisiana, on Wednesday
He also kept snug in a sky-blue beenie and was covered in a white blanket as he enjoyed the ride by taking a nap.
The nine-month-old did wake up later in the day, however, when his mother wanted to carry him across town.
Jennifer and Samuel jumped on a old-school tram as they ventured through the local area and the Daredevil actress sipped on a large coffee.
Coffee run: Jennifer was joined by a friend as she picked up her dose of caffeine on the trip
All aboard: Jennifer and Samuel took a ride on a cross town tram as they ventured around town
Winter warmer: Jennifer and Samuel were both dressed warmly for the day of mother and son bonding
Meanwhile, in the super metropolis of Los Angeles, Seraphina was showing how much she takes after her doting father.
The actor, 40, and his three-year-old were seen sporting the same facial expressions as they took a trip to the family's favourite spot – the Brentwood Country Mart – on Wednesday.
It's unclear if the pair were doing it on purpose or if cute Seraphina was attempting to copy her famous father.
Mind the gap: The Daredevil star was extremely careful as she stepped down off the tram
Wide awake: While Jennifer kept her eyes open with coffee, Samuel had already napped
But as they walked hand in hand, Ben and Seraphina wore the same puzzled expressions, before both glancing up at the sky in sync.
Seraphina was creating a buzz in a grey-T-shirt with a bumble bee on it, leggings, a pink cardigan and adorable leopard print shoes.
I spy: The three-year-old and her famous father looked up at the sky at the same time
Meanwhile Ben looked suave as usual as he wrapped up in several layers – sporting a camel coat, navy cardigan, powder blue V-neck jumper and a shirt.
He was also sporting some classic brogues and a pair of jeans, sipping on what appeared to be an iced coffee.
Ben is currently on Daddy duty while wife Jennifer is in New Orleans shooting her new movie Dallas Buyers Club alongside Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto.
Morning perk: Ben appeared to be sipping on an iced coffee as he walked hand in hand with his middle child
Seraphina and Violet, six, were in Louisiana for Thanksgiving and Ben was spotted collecting his two daughters..
He has drafted in the help of mother Chris to share the load while Jennifer is busy on location, with the three generations of Afflecks seen on an outing together on Tuesday.
Dallas Buyers Club is a drama about real-life AIDS victim Ron Woodroof, and sees Jennifer, who replaced Hilary Swank as Dr. Eve Saks, reunited with her Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past co-star Matthew.
Drafting in some help: While Jennifer Garner is away on location Ben's mother Chris has been helping him look after Seraphina and Violet
New movie: Jennifer is currently filming Dallas Buyers Club in New Orleans alongside Jared Leto (L) and Matthew McConaughey

It'd be hard to beat the "power of four" (as they advertise) and it's close to being true. I've been coming here for years at least a week a season and even at holidays it's rarely crowded, the exception being Snowmass base - it's got all the kids, families and ski lessons converging in morning mayhem, but once up the mountain the folks spread out considerably. Each peak has it's own blessings with Snowmass having the most blues. It also has huge amounts of bowl and tree skiing some of which - Hanging Valley, the Cirque - are seriously challenging and a thrill. I always stay in Aspen town because it's so great and classic and take the free shuttles to everywhere. If you stay at the Sky Hotel or the Little Nell you can basically fall onto Aspen mountain as it's your front yard. Many great paths down "Ajax" especially the Gentleman's Ridge tree runs, all the faces and sides of Bell ridge, and America's original downhill run - Ruthies Run - down all the way to town - one of best super, fast intermediate runs in the country. You can access some fun, little pitches off the F.I.S. chair and no one is ever there. Some people complain that runs are fairly short on Ajax, but if you're doing some of the double blacks that's not always a bad thing, and the cruise down the lower third is also a super fast chute, just watch out for collision potential. There are no greens on Ajax, hence, few beginners, nice for everyone as they have their own mountain - Buttermilk. There's good terrain at Buttermilk, especially the Tiehak side with some very good tree runs no one is ever on and zero lift lines. It gets the short shrift here because of what all the other mountains offer, but on its own it easily compares to good mountains anywhere. Then there's Aspen Highlands, home to the legendary Highlands Bowl - an hour hike up to the top for a long glorious ride down the bowl and then into trees. The Temerity lift accesses some ridiculous steeps and once again you have it all to yourself! Olympic ridge had wonderful glades that lead to the bottom and some badass bumps, or you can cruise on the Golden Horn, a beauty of a groomed intermediate bowl with it's own lift. Despite its rep, Aspen is definitely laid back, and this kind of culture doesn't really allow pretentiousness to dominate, because even if you've billions, so does the person down the street so why compete?! What you'll find is some amazing variety of eats, drinks, and shops and some excellent ski/boarding stores at all price points, a hugely fun crowd of locals and visitors all happy to be in this neck of Paradise. I know I always am!

Oxford Saints got back to winning ways with a 39-16 home victory over Sandwell Steelers in the National Central Division.
Having lost three games on the bounce, Saints produced a fine display.
They opened the scoring when Michael Oluwole smashed his way through for a five-yard touchdown.
But the visitors hit straight back with a score of their own, Jonathan Hayes touching down, with the extra points putting them 8-6 ahead at the end of the first quarter.
Saints started the second period strongly, Harry Carr charging over from a yard and Spencer Duffy adding the extra point.
When James Walter touc-hed down soon after, Oxford had built up a 19-8 half-time advantage.
Sandwell came out all guns blazing looking, but found themselves further behind when a breakaway run from Carr saw him make it 25-8.
Harry Brookmyre all but wrapped up victory with a touchdown in the final quarter, Ali Galbraith scoring the extra two points with a speedy run to the outside.
Dwain Haughton's impressive 68-yard touchdown run gave the visitors a consolation score, Benjamin Bray adding the two extra points.
But Saints were to have the final word.
James Sharples delivered a precision pass to Walter, who scored his second touchdown of the game with a spectacular leap.
Saints know they will need to be at the top of their game for the next fixture, a trip to leaders Peterborough Saxons on Sunday.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Rapper B.o.B is currently in the studio cutting tracks for his upcoming album, which is due out later this year. The Atlantic Records artist responsible for the hits "Nothin' on You" and "Airplanes" has recorded a song with producer Jim Jonsin titled "Rule the World," which the producer told rap-up.com had a reggae feel to it.
Jonsin told the site that he's already recorded four songs with B.o.B and said that "Rule the World" was a possible single. "One record has like a reggae vibe to it, hip hop with some reggae. It's pretty big," he said. Jonsin also said that he wants to do about three or four more songs with the hip hop star. He adds, "He's kinda figuring out the direction and I'm hoping to close out with him..."
Jonsin shared other insight into the album, predicting that it would be incredible. "I don't think he's doing as many features. I think most of his singles will be him and he just wants the fans to hear a lot more of him on this album."

Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Syndrome:
Comment from: pate, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: September 17
This sucks!!!! I have had this problem for about 17 years. I just turned 30 and i never thought that my life would be of such discomfort. in the beginning of August my face became numb first then the right side of my tongue and overnight, it went to my right side of my face. I was in and out of the hospital wanting to die of the pain had to drop out of nursing school, and wasn't able to tend to my four children. It is now September and all the symptons are still there, just not the dying pain. I have no life and I have to force myself to do anything. I just want to be normal again. I take so many pills and I am using a splint and I feel a little difference(very little). I need severe help.
Published: September 11
I never clench or grind my teeth and I am constantly doing it now. The side of my face in front of my ear feels swollen, as does that side of my neck and the ear itself. My neck and shoulders ache, and I am constantly swallowing saliva. The back of my neck hurts. My ear rings and kind of feels numb at times. The predominant symptom I have is the neck pain. Even the bone in back of my last tooth feels swollen.
Published: September 11
I have had joint pain and severe popping and cracking in my right jaw for 20 years. I am now 35. I have tried all the recommended treatments and have had very little success (braces, night guards etc.). I experience headaches, ear fullness and pain, facial pain in front of my ear, extreme pain when opening my mouth wide to yawn or laugh or eat followed by cracking (that can be heard up to 5 feet away) and dislocation.
Comment from: Debyk, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: December 29
I have been suffering since my 20s. I ended up on crazy pain meds and have tried everything from splints to physical therapy, biofeedback, and the like. I had surgery a year and a half ago. The surgeon pulled cartilage back into place and shaved down the bone on both sides. Recovery was not too bad. The first two weeks were bad, then I was fine. I have been fine up until two months ago. I have had terrible pain on the right side. The CT scan shows cartilage damaged beyond repair. It hurts to swallow.
Comment from: mainesp, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: October 07
I've been suffering with TMJ for probably 10 years or so. I get dizzy; face and head sensitvity and severe headaches. Some days would be worse than others. It would affect my everyday life and work. I took muscle relaxers and mild antidepressants. A co-worker mentioned a chiropractor so I tried that, and it worked for about two years it did wonders. I'd get some headaches but the worst of it was gone. About a month ago something changed and now even the chiropractor doesn't help. I'm at my wits end. I went to my doctor and she gave me a strong pain killer and that didn't even touch the pain. I don't know what to do.
Comment from: Andre8, Published: January 19
I have had TMJ for about 3 months, and it isn't getting any better. When I play the sax, I sometimes get jaw-aches, and am barely able to open my jaw at all. Though my jaw has gotten better from the first few weeks, it limits every day activities.
Comment from: 19-24 Male (Patient) Published: January 13
I've had TMJ for about 8 or 9 years now. I'm only 20 years old and the pains from my jaw are practically paralyzing me. Sometimes I get a chemical pain that overwhelms my head and upper back area. I'm not really sure that there is much to be done for it now. My brother has it too. I know mine is getting worse because of the pain I have been suffering. My chewing has gotten louder too, eating during school lunch hours has become someone embarrassing due to the loud popping my right side is making. I just wish there was a cheaper way of fixing this so I don't fail at life.
Comment from: SherryD, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: January 04
About 5 yrs ago, after suffering with a "sinus infection" for close to 3 months, taking a few rounds of oral steroids, I decided to go to an ENT doctor. It was he who diagnosed my TMJ. I wasn't having acute sinus infections at all, although I guess having them could affect TMJ. He prescribed me more drugs and sent me on my way. A few days later, after being zonked out on the couch with pain meds (and even they weren't cutting out all the pain), I decided to try acupuncture. I was VERY skeptical! With the first needle he put in, it sounded like a tire deflating. I almost jumped off the table! I stayed, and we finished the treatment. By the time I got to my car the pain was immensely decreased!! The swelling had been so severe, and now was gone...my teeth rattled on that side of my face! That was it, I was a believer! To this day, when I think another bout is coming on, I make an appointment with my acupuncturist right away.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The Wygley surname comes from the Old English words "wicga," meaning a "bug," and " leah," meaning a clearing in the woods. There are several places in England named from these words, such as Wigley in Derbyshire, Wigley, Shropshire, Wigley Cross in Dorset, and Wigley in Hampshire; the surname may have been a habitational name, taken on from one of these place names.
The surname Wygley was first found in Derbyshire where they held a family seat at Brampton during the reign of king Edward III (ruled 1327-1377). The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1328 when they held a family seat in Brampton in that shire.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Wigley, Whigley, Wiggeley, Wygley, Wyggeley, Wiggerley and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Wygley research. Another 349 words (25 lines of text) covering the years 1455, 1487, 1683, 1776, and 1795 are included under the topic Early Wygley History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Another 22 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Wygley Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Edward Wigley, who arrived in New England in 1666; John Wigley, who came to Maryland in 1670; Thomas Wigley, who arrived in Maryland in 1673; Elizabeth Wigley, a bonded passenger who arrived in Jamaica in 1716.

Cormac O'Connor, a young 18th Century Irishman, through an accident in the street and a colision with a mystical destiny finds himself travelling to make a new life in America in the 1740s. Here, he becomes embroiled in a quest for justice, power and vengeance against the man who drove him from Ireland. After an encounter with a powerful shaman, Cormac finds himself granted a power that can be the greatest blessing or the darkest curse...immortality. the only condition is that he never leave Manhattan Island.
The following 250 years trace Cormac as he witnesses and becomes part of the development of NYC. Watching him through the slave revolt, the War of Independence, the War of 1812, the great New York fire, the nineteenth century boomtimes and the tragic events of September 11th, we see Cormac experience life's great emotions, love, loss, success and failure.
Combining a beautiful telling of Celtic mythology with a rich and vibrant civic history, Pete Hamill has created two truly remarkable characters...one is Cormac o'Connor and the other is the City of New York.
Read FOREVER and be glad that you did. It is certainly worth it.
At 613 pages, this is a novel to sink into. I looked forward to picking it up again every time I had to put it down. There's a lot of action and colorful images and a true sense of New York City through the years. There's love and war and a quest for revenge. Obviously, the author did a lot of research. However, he tried just a little too hard to make Cormac politically correct at all times, fighting injustice, particularly against African Americans, throughout the book. And, just in case the reader forgets the fact that Cormac has eternal life, the author has him constantly reflecting on the history we have just seen him live through. This is all right up to a point, but it's unnecessarily repetitive and often bogs down the story.
The book is strongest at its beginning and ending sections. The beginning really gets into the life Cormac led in Ireland as well as his early years in New York. And the last section, which incorporates the recent 9/11 tragedy into the narrative, is full of tension, especially since I knew it was coming and kept wondering how the author would have the story play out.Read more ›
I have remarked in other reviews on the tendency of several recent novelists to play around with the way their central characters experience time -- a sort of American Magic Realism. In Andrew Sean Greer's THE CONFESSIONS OF MAX TIVOLI, the hero lives his life backwards. In Audrey Niffenegger's THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE, he skips around freely in time. In Salman Rushdie's THE MOOR'S LAST SIGH, he ages two years for every one. All three writers use their device both to generate suspense and to focus more clearly on the inner life of the character. But while the immortality granted to Hamill's hero makes a wonderful means of displaying the changing face of the city, it greatly reduces the reader's interest in the character himself.Read more ›
Someone once asked me if I'd read any good books lately, and I told them about this one. They asked me to explain the plot, and I did - to the best of my ability without giving away any of the "good parts". They looked at me like I had three heads, and said, "Uh, no thanks, not my kinda book..." I told them not to go on what I told them but to just read the book for themselves, and they refused. A year later, I was talking about books with someone else, and they asked me the same question. I told them that I'd loan them "Forever", but they couldn't ask me anything about it, they just had to read it. They agreed. Three days later, the book was back on my desk with a Post-It stuck to it reading, "This book was THE BEST!!! Bought one for myself!!! THANK YOU!!!" After discussing the book with them, they said that they didn't want the book to end... Yes, it's that good.
This is a book for those of you who can keep in mind that it's a NOVEL, a STORY... SUSPEND YOUR DISBELIEF for a moment and ENJOY what he's written... Geez Louise! Some people here need to RELAX! lol!
Don't miss this story... it'll take you all of a day and a half to finish it because you won't put it down...

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- When the New England Patriots have hit turbulence in recent years, they could always count on two things to help smooth the ride: top-notch quarterback play and a tactical edge over the opposition because of coaching adjustments.
Now even those seem to be in question.
The Patriots collapsed in stunning fashion Sunday in a 28-14 loss to the New York Jets, with quarterback Tom Brady locking in on Randy Moss and the coaching staff unable to provide answers that could reverse the team's troubling trend of tanking in the second half of road games.
Surely, there is enough blame to go around for what unfolded at New Meadowlands Stadium, but starting with Brady and the coaching staff seems like the right spot.
"We just sucked," an agitated Brady said after the Patriots were held scoreless in the second half, with just 80 net yards of offense. "That's what it comes down to."
The Patriots had started strong in the first half only to whimper out in the final 30 minutes, blowing a stellar opportunity as the Jets were without their best player, cornerback Darrelle Revis, who was sidelined much of the game with a hamstring injury.
Those watching the collapse had to be asking the question: "Where were the adjustments?" The Patriots used to be the team that would make the right moves, winning not just the physical battle but also the battle of wits.
Instead, Jets coach Rex Ryan and his staff earned high praise for their in-game alterations, which included a second-half approach that called for less blitzing and more coverage.
"We mixed some different calls in there to get us some protection in the middle of the field," Ryan said after the Jets had been gashed by two long catch-and-run plays by tight end Aaron Hernandez. "We blitzed some guys and simulated some pressure. I thought our guys did a great job of executing."
It seemed to help the Jets that Brady was intent on jamming the ball in to Moss, especially after Revis was out and cornerback Antonio Cromartie was in coverage. In all, Brady targeted Moss 10 times and ended up with as many completions to him as the Jets had interceptions on those throws -- two.
The second-half interceptions were a big part of the sudden momentum shift. Moss called the first a miscommunication deep down the right sideline, while the second was a great sideline play by Cromartie, who tipped the ball to safety Brodney Pool.
While the Brady-to-Moss connection was thwarted, the disappearance of receiver Wes Welker was especially puzzling. Welker had just two passes thrown in his direction in the second half.
Still fuming after the game, Brady said it wasn't in his mindset to capitalize on Revis' absence, his voice rising as he spoke.
"We were trying to do everything we could to gain a yard," he responded. "It had nothing to do with going after them. They have good players. We're trying to run it. Revis can't stop the run, but they stopped the run. He couldn't cover every guy on the field, but we obviously couldn't do anything in the passing game.
"We've got to take a hard look at ourselves and all of us need to do a lot better job, making a commitment to come back next week and play significantly better than we played this week. The second half of the games are critical. I think that's where our focus needs to be. I think when it comes down to the second halves of these games, we have to go out and play tougher."
Brady was as upset as he's been in recent memory, ending his news conference abruptly, but not before rightfully pointing the finger at himself.
"There were times where I think we had opportunities to do a better job out there and we didn't. That's all of us, starting with me," he said. "I have to do a better job leading this team and certainly executing better when it's crunch time."
Surprisingly, Brady (20-of-36 for 248 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs) was outplayed by Jets counterpart Mark Sanchez, who avoided critical mistakes and finished 21-of-30 for 220 yards and three touchdowns.
Not so surprisingly, the Patriots once again faltered in the second half of a road game. They have been outscored 116-41 in the second half over their past eight road games (not including last year's trip to London, which was a neutral site).
The Patriots once were known as a mentally tough team, one that would rise up in critical situations on the road. But that hasn't been the team's modus operandi for more than a year.
"It is being able to handle adversity," Moss said. "The Jets handled adversity the right way and we handled it the wrong way."
To their credit, Patriots players were up-front and critical of their struggles Sunday, and the work now begins to correct them. It starts in an unfamiliar place -- with the quarterback and coaches.
