反文化(或反主流文化、逆主流文化、非主流文化,英语:Counterculture或counter-culture)是亞文化的一種, 這種文化所倡導的行為規範與價值觀通常與主流文化所規範的習俗大相徑庭,有時甚至相反。[1][2]
反文化一詞最先由希歐多爾·羅扎克(Theodore Roszak)使用,[3][4][5]他著有《反文化的形成》一書。[6]這一詞彙在20世紀60至70年代的社會革命中藉由新聞媒體橫掃南北美、西歐、日本、澳大利亞和新西蘭。[1][3][5] 各路學者在分析反文化的特點和特殊性時見解不一。當然主流文化本身定義起來也很困難,且某種程度上靠著反文化的陪襯才能被很好地理解。反文化有別於大眾文化(或傳媒文化), [7]或中產階級文化價值觀。 [8]反文化有時被概念地認為是一種代溝和不認同父輩價值觀的表現。[9]
通常,當一種「邊緣文化」將自己的價值觀與主流文化對立起來,它便可能擴展為「反文化」。[來源請求] 反文化趨向於先達到頂峰,再在淡出社會的道路上給主流文化留下深遠的影響。整個歷程大致包括如下階段:受排擠、自身成長、部分被接受及融入主流文化。[來源請求] 在20世紀60年代末,嬉皮士成為了美國最大最搶眼的反文化團體。[12] 由浪漫主義者、波希米亞人、垮掉的一代和嬉皮士留下的「文化陰影」直到當代仍在西方文化中依稀可辨。[來源請求]
希拉·惠特莉(Sheila Whiteley)認為,當代社會學理論的發展使得20世紀60年代發展起來的理論變得複雜且問題重重。例如,電子科技就提供了一種促成對其產生新見解的推動力。[13]安迪·班尼特(Andy Bennett)寫到, 「儘管有理論爭端能用以反對把反文化當作一個像亞文化一樣含義豐富的富社會學價值的術語來對社會性行為進行描述和分類,這個術語仍然被用於表述社會和文化理論概念。」[14] 然而,「反文化涉及到的層面不僅有烏托邦,還有反烏托邦。像在蒙特里和伍德斯托克所慶祝的節日看起來似乎是為了擁抱烏托邦的理想而展開。同時布莱恩·琼斯、吉米·亨德里克斯、吉姆·莫里森和珍妮絲·賈普林等標誌性人物的死,以及Altamont Free Concert莫須有的中傷,和查理·曼森這樣朦朧的人物給它的實際意圖蒙上了一層更深的陰影。這提示著我們,『當今的世界仍顯得過於畸形』。」[15][16]
在美國,20世紀60年代的反文化的象徵是抵制符合習俗的50年代的社會規範。反文化青年拒絕接受父輩的文化標準,尤其是種族隔離和支持越戰方面的。[2][17] 而且,較委婉地,他們還抵製冷戰 — 年輕人們擔心美國和蘇聯的核武競賽及其在越南的動作會招致核子浩劫。
对主流文化的反抗在新体裁的致幻的摇滚乐、流行艺术和对灵魂的探索中体现的最淋漓尽致. 见证了这一年代的音乐家/乐队有甲殼蟲樂隊、 感恩而死樂隊、杰弗逊飞机、吉米·亨德里克斯、门户合唱团、Cream、滚石乐队、尼尔·杨、鲍勃·迪伦、珍妮丝·贾普林、平克·弗洛伊德、琼尼·米歇尔、以及早期的芝加哥樂隊。演唱會的發明也在傳播反文化中起到了關鍵性作用,其中大型露天搖滾演唱會最為功不可沒。其中最登峰造极的一次是在1969年8月15日至18日在纽约貝瑟(Bethel)举行的伍德斯托克音樂節。共有32名摇滚乐与迷幻摇滚音乐家冒着周末的阵雨对着近50万人现场演奏。(麦可·兰称听众有40万,而其中没买票的占了一半)[21]这被公认为流行音乐史上的转折点,滾石雜誌更将其列为"改变摇滚历史的50个瞬间"之一。[22]比尔·曼金说,"'伍德斯托克的一代'这个词用来描述那个年代中被摇滚演唱会改变的整整一代人,看上去正合适。[23]
有时这些也在流行歌曲和流行的谚语中体现,如 "做你自己的事"、蒂莫西·利里的"激发热情、内向探索、脱离体制"、"只要你喜欢"、"狂野人生"、色情、毒品和摇滚乐"和"火光"。 Spiritually, the counterculture included interest in astrology, the term "Age of Aquarius" and knowing people's signs. This led Theodore Roszak to state "A [sic] eclectic taste for mysticism, occult, and magical phenomena has been a marked characteristic of our postwar youth culture since the days of the beatniks."[5] In the United States, even actor Charlton Heston contributed to the movement, with the statement, "Don't trust anyone over thirty," in the 1968 film Planet of the Apes (1968 film); the same year, actress and social activist Jane Fonda starred in the sexually-themed Barbarella. Both actors opposed the Vietnam War during its duration, and Fonda would eventually become controversially active in the peace movement.
The counterculture in the United States has been interpreted as lasting roughly from 1964 to 1972[24] — coincident with America's involvement in Vietnam — and reached its peak in 1967, the "summer of love".[25] Unconventional appearance, music, political activism, public protests, drugs, communitarianism, and sexual liberation were hallmarks of the sixties counterculture — most of whose members were young, white and middle-class.
In 1967 thousands of young people flocked to the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. The counterculture lifestyle integrated many of the ideals and indulgences of the time: peace, love, harmony, music, and mysticism. Meditation, yoga, and psychedelic drugs were embraced as routes to expanding one's consciousness. In Toronto, Canada, the Yorkville, Toronto district served as a kind of Haight-Ashbury North, serving as another major hippie and musical crossroads.[26] In Quebec, the Front de libération du Québec was in a quest for an independent socialism Quebec during the 1960s to early 1970s. The group, an example of some of the countercultures seeking to disrupt society, resorted to bombings, kidnappings and murder in order to try achieve their quest.[27]
In the United States, the movement divided the population. To some Americans, these attributes reflected American ideals of free speech, equality, world peace, and the pursuit of happiness; to others, they reflected a self-indulgent, pointlessly rebellious, unpatriotic, and destructive assault on the country's traditional argument from morality. Authorities banned the psychedelic drug LSD, restricted political gatherings, and tried to enforce bans on what they considered obscenity in books, music, theater, and other media. Parents argued with their children and worried about their children's personal safety, while the children worried about the world's future. Some adults accepted elements of the counterculture, while others became estranged from sons and daughters.
The counterculture has been argued to have diminished in the early 1970s, and some have attributed two reasons for this. First, it has been suggested that the most popular of its political goals — civil rights, civil liberties, gender equality, environmentalism, and the end of the Vietnam War — were accomplished ( to at least some degree ) ; and also that its most popular social attributes — particularly a "live and let live" mentality in personal lifestyles (the "sexual revolution") — were co-opted by mainstream society.[19][25] Second, a decline of idealism and hedonism occurred as many notable counterculture figures died, the rest settled into mainstream society and started their own families, and the "magic economy" of the 1960s gave way to the 1973–75 recession[19] — the latter costing many in the middle-classes the luxury of being able to live outside conventional social institutions. The counterculture, however, continues to influence social movements, art, music, and society in general, and the post-1973 mainstream society has been in many ways a hybrid of the 1960s establishment and counterculture.[25]
20世纪60年代至70年代早期的反文化文学作品独树一帜。有时,他们会被叫做地下刊物。在美国,这类作品有Mr. Natural; Keep on Truckin'; Fritz the Cat; Fat Freddy's Cat; Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers; the album cover art for Cheap Thrills; and in several countries contributions to International Times, The Village Voice, and Oz (magazine),另有Robert Crumb and Gilbert Shelton的一些作品也在此列。在20世纪60年代末和70年代初,这些漫画和杂志能在迷幻品店里和诸如弹珠、香、香烟、扎染织物和书本之类的货物一起买到。
在20世紀60至70年代,有些買這種東西的商店發展成為了咖啡廳,而嬉皮士們則在此進行小聚、聊天、吸食大麻、讀書等活動。例子有國王街的Gandalf's Garden、倫敦的Chelsea(這家店還出版過同名雜誌)。[28]這種嬉皮士和無政府主義風格的書店還有坐落于Lace Market area of Nottingham的Mushroom Books。[29][30]
在二十世紀初的這些國家和地區中,同性戀是有罪的。主流觀點認為同性戀是道德的敗壞,而理應受到懲戒。奥斯卡·王尔德在1895年因「與其他男性進行有傷風化的行為」受到審判和鋃鐺入獄便是一証。但即使在當時,也是有不同的聲音的。西格蒙德·弗洛伊德就曾公開宣稱道,他認為同性戀對於一部分人來說是完全正常的。[Freud, 1905] According to Charles Kaiser's 《The Gay Metropolis》,there were already semi-public gay-themed gatherings by the mid-1930s in the United States (such as the annual drag balls held during the Harlem Renaissance). There were also bars and bathhouses that catered to gay clientele and adopted warning procedures (similar to those used by Prohibition-era speakeasyspeakeasy) to warn customers of police raids. But homosexuality was typically subsumed into bohemian culture, and was not a significant movement in itself.
据CK所撰《The Gay Metropolis》一书记载,在20世纪30年代中期,美国便已经有半公开式的同性恋主题集会(such as the annual drag balls held during the Harlem Renaissance)。能满足同性恋顾客需求的酒吧和浴池也已经出现。[31]
Eventually, a genuine gay culture began to take root, albeit very discreetly, with its own styles, attitudes and behaviors and industries began catering to this growing demographic group. For example, publishing houses cranked out pulp novels like The Velvet Underground that were targeted directly at gay people. By the early 1960s, openly gay political organizations such as the Mattachine Society were formally protesting abusive treatment toward gay people, challenging the entrenched idea that homosexuality was an aberrant condition, and calling for the decriminalization of homosexuality. Despite very limited sympathy, American society began at least to acknowledge the existence of a sizable population of gays. The film The Boys in the Band, for example, featured negative portrayals of gay men, but at least recognized that they did in fact fraternize with each other (as opposed to being isolated, solitary predators who "victimized" straight men).
Disco music in large part rose out of the New York gay club scene of the early 1970s as a reaction to the stigmatization of gays and other outside groups such as blacks by the counterculture of that era.[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] By later in the decade Disco was dominating the pop charts.[40] The popular Village People and the critically acclaimed Sylvester had gay themed lyrics and presentation.[41][42]
Another element of LGBT counter-culture that began in the 1970's - and continues today - is the lesbian land, or Landdyke movement.[43] Radical feminists inspired by the back-to-the-land initiative abandoned their traditional roles and migrated to rural areas to create female-only lesbian communes.[44] "Free Spaces" are defined by Sociologist Francesca Polletta as "small-scale settings within a community or movement that are removed from the direct control of dominant groups, are voluntarily participated in, and generate the cultural challenge that precedes or accompanies political mobilization.[45] Women came together in Free Spaces like music festivals, activist groups and collectives to share ideas with like-minded people and to explore the idea of the lesbian land movement. The movement is closely tied to eco-feminism[46]
The four tenants of the Landdyke Movement are relationship with the land, liberation and transformation, living the politics, and bodily Freedoms.[47] Most importantly, members of these communities seek to live outside of a patriarchal society that puts emphasis on "beauty ideals that discipline the female body, compulsive heterosexuality, competitiveness with other women, and dependence." [48] Instead of adhering typical female gender roles, the women of Landdyke communities value "self-sufficiency, bodily strength, autonomy from men and patriarchal systems, and the development of lesbian-centered community." [48] Members of the Landdyke movement enjoy bodily freedoms that have been deemed unacceptable in the modern Western world – such as the freedom to expose their breasts, or to go without any clothing at all.[49] An awareness of their impact on the Earth, and connection to nature is essential members of the Landdyke Movement's way of life.[50]
The watershed event in the American gay rights movement was the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City. Following this event, gays and lesbians began adopting the militant protest tactics used by anti-war and black power radicals to confront anti-gay ideology. Another major turning point was the 1973 decision by the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the official list of mental disorders.[51] Although gay radicals used pressure to force the decision, Kaiser notes that this had been an issue of some debate for many years in the psychiatric community, and that one of the chief obstacles to normalizing homosexuality was that therapists were profiting from offering dubious, unproven "cures".[31]
The AIDS epidemic was initially an unexpected blow to the movement, especially in North America. There was speculation that the disease would permanently drive gay life underground. Ironically, the tables were turned. Many of the early victims of the disease had been openly gay only within the confines of insular "gay ghettos" such as New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's The Castro; they remained closeted in their professional lives and to their families. Many heterosexuals who thought they didn't know any gay people were confronted by friends and loved ones dying of "the gay plague" (which soon began to infect "heterosexuality" people also). LGBT communities were increasingly seen not only as victims of a disease, but as victims of ostracism and hatred. Most importantly, the disease became a rallying point for a previously complacent gay community. AIDS invigorated the community politically to fight not only for a medical response to the disease, but also for wider acceptance of homosexuality in mainstream America. Ultimately, coming out became an important step for many LGBT people.
During the early 1980s what was dubbed "New Music", New wave, "New pop" popularized by MTV and associated with gender bending Second British Invasion stars such as Boy George and Annie Lennox became an what was described by Newsweek at the time as an alternate mainstream to the traditional masculine/heterosexual rock music in the United States.[52][53][54]
In 2003, the United States Supreme Court officially declared all sodomy laws unconstitutional.[55]
Although not exactly equivalent to the English definition, the term "Контркультура" (Kontrkul'tura, "Counterculture") became common in Russian to define a 1990s cultural movement that promoted acting outside of cultural conventions: the use of explicit language; graphical descriptions of sex, violence and illicit activities; and uncopyrighted use of "safe" characters involved in such activities.
During the early 1970s, the Soviet government rigidly promoted optimism in Russian culture. Even mild topics, such as divorce and alcohol abuse, were viewed as taboo by the media. However, Russian society grew weary of the gap between real life and the creative world [來源請求], and underground culture became "forbidden fruit." General satisfaction with the quality of existing works led to parody, such as how the Russian joke tradition turned the setting of War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy into a grotesque world of sexual excess. Another well-known example is Russian humour#Black humour (mostly in the form of short poems) that dealt exclusively with funny deaths and/or other mishaps of small, innocent children.
In the mid-1980s, the Glasnost policy permitted the production of less optimistic works. As a consequence, Russian cinema during the late 1980s and the early 1990s was dominated by crime-packed action movies with explicit (but not necessarily graphic) scenes of ruthless violence and social dramas about drug abuse, prostitution and failing relationships. Although Russian movies of the time would be MPAA rating system in the United States due to violence, the use of explicit language was much milder than in American cinema.
In the late 1990s, Russian counterculture became increasingly popular on the Internet. Several websites appeared that posted user-created short stories dealing with sex, drugs and violence. The following features are considered the most popular topics in such works:
- Wide use of explicit language;
- Deliberate misspelling;
- Descriptions of drug use and consequences of abuse;
- Negative portrayals of alcohol use;
- Sex and violence: Nothing is a taboo — in general, violence is rarely advocated, while all types of sex are considered good;
- Parody: Media advertising, classic movies, pop culture and children's books are considered fair game;
- Non-conformance; and,
- Politically incorrect topics: Mostly racism, xenophobia and homophobia.
A notable aspect of counterculture at the time was the influence of contra-cultural developments on Russian pop culture. In addition to traditional Russian styles of music, such as songs with jail-related lyrics, new music styles with explicit language were developed.
In the recent past Dr. Sebastian Kappen, an Indian theologian, has tried to redefine counterculture in the Asian context. In March 1990, at a seminar in Bangalore, he presented his countercultural perspectives (Chapter 4 in S. Kappen, Tradition, modernity, counterculture: an Asian perspective, Visthar, Bangalore, 1994). Dr. Kappen envisages counterculture as a new culture that has to negate the two opposing cultural phenomena in Asian countries:
- invasion by Western capitalist culture, and
- the emergence of revivalist movements.
Kappen writes, "Were we to succumb to the first, we should be losing our identity; if to the second, ours would be a false, obsolete identity in a mental universe of dead symbols and delayed myths".
The most important countercultural movement in India had taken place in the state of West Bengal during the 1960s by a group of poets and artists who called themselves Hungryalists.

Will Firewire be the death of SCSI?
SCSI has got cheaper. Hope it will in the future. (123 comments)
SCSI use to be horribly expensive. It's a lot more reasonable now (I can remember not too long ago SCSI cards costing $500). There used to also be a significant premium for SCSI disks; that's gone, as you can find general parity in pricing for EIDE and SCSI disks (although some places insist on charing more). Used SCSI equipment is often cheaper than comparable IDE equipment.
If FireWire be a better technology, then I do hope it will take over SCSI. However, it needs to be free of choking patents and the specifications need to be very open if we ever want to use it with an opensource operating system.
``I belive OS/2 is destined to be the greatest operating system, and possibly program, of all time.''--Bill "The Visionary" Gates, 1988 (Microsoft Press)

How to write a piece of investigative journalism
The following are some of the points from a training session given by Marcus Tanner to the Balkan Fellowship for Journalistic Excellence.
The talk was given as participants for the 2010 course started their investigative journalism projects.
They set out some of the main points to remember when embarking on producing a piece of investigative journalism.
Image courtesy of Jess McCulloch released under Creative Commmons
Hook the reader
- If possible, try an introduction that illustrates a fact, rather than just stating the fact. Find a person/family/scene/human interest story to illustrate the dilemma/phenomenon about which you're writing.
- If you are writing about women starting to have children in their 40s, introduce us to one such woman, rather than just stating that "20 per cent of women giving birth to their first child are now aged 40 and above".
- Make sure that the introduction illustrates the rest of the story. It must provide a relevant lead in to that story.
- Don't forget your introduction. If we meet Julia, aged 41, having her first baby in the introduction, it will be unsatisfactory if we never encounter her again. The reader will want to know what happened later, so plan on saving some material/quotes from/about her for the conclusion.
- It is easy to fall in love with some scene or incident that is interesting but which is not relevant to the rest of the story.
- A colour intro is a good way to hook in the reader. Don't push it too far. It should not be more than one or two paragraphs. Then you must outline the substantial point of your story.
- This second section should contain a concise explanation of the topic under discussion. It must be accompanied by relevant facts, figures and percentages.
- The second section of your story needs to contain as much hard fact as possible. It is essential that nothing in this section is vague, unsourced, uncontextualised or imprecise.
- Contextualise all the facts relevantly. Don't say, "100,000 people have lost jobs in the country recently". Say, "According to the Chamber of Commerce, in its figures for 2009, 100,000 people lost their jobs over the past 12 months, mostly in mining and transport sectors. As a result, the total jobless figure at the start of 2010 stood at 350,000, which is nine per cent of the working-age population."
A colour intro must function as a guide to the story. It is not enough, just being colourful.
Keep titles short
- Long titles take up valuable space. Don't waste words by writing out professional and political titles in full.
- No need to say "John Smith, State Secretary for Economy, Exports, Imports, Businesses and Trade," just say "John Smith, the economy minister" - that's four words instead of 12.
- Avoid the title president unless it is the head of state or someone occupying a similarly grand function, for example "president of the supreme court". Use director, manager, head, chief, chair, chairman.
- Don't call people doctor unless they are medical doctors.
Don't waste words by writing out professional and political titles in full.
Get your facts right
- Check all your facts, and credit the sources unless it is unsafe to do so.
- If it ever looks as though you are being careless or evasive with your facts, it may well demolish your story.
- Don't waste words by sourcing facts that are universally agreed.
- Some statistics, such as unemployment statistics, need to be sourced, but only briefly. For example say, the chamber of commerce, the ministry for employment, etc.
- Give detailed sources for more complex, controversial or debatable facts.
Give detailed sources for more complex, controversial or debatable facts.
Get the tone right
- Try to avoid sounding dry and official or sensationalist.
- No present tense. ("The nurse is walking towards me.")
- No triple dots ("I looked into her eyes... ")
- Avoid exclamation marks (He looked crazy!)
- No italics/repetitions/capitals ("Someone is screaming... Someone is SCREAMING!")
- No exaggerated comparisons; do not compare a badly-run hospital or prison to a Nazi concentration camp.
- Do not suggest that angry, unpleasant officials are like Hitler.
- Do not call people fascists unless they use that term for themselves.
- Do not patronize: Never refer to old women as granny, or refer to them by their first names as if they were children. The same goes for old men, peasants/rural people/ poor people, etc.
Keep tears to a minimum.
Don't get personal
- There is a place for the author in his or her story. But it should be as discreet and neutral a place as possible - and not in the foreground.
- If the word "I" appears in every paragraph, something is going wrong. The only exceptions for this are if you make yourself the subject of your own story.
- Don't use quote marks without attribution.
Don't use quote marks without attribution
Winding up
- Don't just tail off or let it look like you ran out of steam.
- It is often best to end with a quote.
- The ending must in some way refer back to the beginning.
The ending must in some way refer back to the beginning.

Every man you should avoid, and I've dated all of them.
By Sabrina J
When I got hitched at 18 after only having experienced one 'serious' relationship and a couple of casual time fillers, I truly believed that I would be one of the lucky few who would never have to 'get back out there' again. Needless to say when you marry the person you want to see rather than acknowledging who is really in front of you, a union so blind is bound to falter. And that it did; I became a divorcee and single parent at the ripe old age of 21. Dating in your twenties is nauseating enough as it is with the prospects that roam todays' streets, adding a history like mine under your belt can only magnify the worst that is yet to be.
I'm not a bed hopper, a man sharer, or a 'sexually confused' mess of a whore who plays on both teams to double her chances at finding love through sought out desperate validation. I'm just a simple woman who has made a lot of stupid choices in the opposite sex, and I'm embarrassed to admit, all willingly. I could blame every one of my exes completely, have them be the hunchbacks of my stories and go on my merry way as if I didn't have any hand in the relationships demise, but just like it takes two willing parties to jump in the sack for a casual fling, it takes two to keep a bad relationship running its' course. I more than own up to my contributions of my dating history, and with each new experience I take lessons learned and apply them to my next partnership in hopes of avoiding all of the ridiculous shit that came before.
As physical appearances go I don't have a 'type'. I've got certain friends that have cycled through their own personal lives where it seems they date the same man/woman over and over again (looks wise). Hell, a lot of people do it! It all comes down to pheromones and our body's chemical desire that is driven to seek out partners with certain features that will help us produce beautiful offspring. It's common science, but that's another article...It has never manifested that way for me at all. I've dated short guys, tall guys, ones with light hair, ones with dark hair, blue eyes, brown eyes, big dicks, little dicks, little dicks who believed they had big dicks (yeah, I'm sure you've been there too). I've had quite the plethora of different appearances as my dating experiences have gone. However, it has becomes duly noted that the vast majority I've welcomed into my small world have all shared one common personality trait; being a selfish, arrogant asshole.

IPI Follows Civil Society Work in Transitions in Tunisia, Egypt
The Arab Spring of 2011 is still a work in progress, full of hopes and uncertainties. Tunisia and Egypt, where the uprisings began, have embarked on a "learn-as-you-go" experiment, each following different paths to chart their respective post-revolution periods.

Africa's "King of Kings" Is Out, Long Live His Wealth!
This summer, I was invited to speak at the Africa Center's Senior Leaders Seminar on post-conflict transitions in Washington, DC. Participants were mostly senior African military leaders, and the discussion session drifted to Libya. When one officer asked what the regional implications of the conflict in Libya could be, I thought that he, as a security expert, wanted to discuss refugees, mercenaries, and weapons crossing borders. But he quickly corrected me. "The question was about economic security," he said.

Giorgio Armani Takes Armani Prive Shockingly Futuristic for Spring 2011
>> The Armani Prive front row was well-stocked with Sophia Loren, Pedro Almodovar, Jodie Foster, and Olivia Wilde, but no Lady Gaga, despite her multimillion dollar partnership with Armani. That's not to say her presence wasn't felt in the futuristic collection. Derek Blasberg Tweeted: "Armani couture has gone all Sci-Fi on me. Pierre Cardin-esque shapes, iridescent fabrics and flying saucers hats. Is that the Gaga effect?" And Cathy Horyn, too, Tweeted: "Did Lady Gaga influence Armani's super-future lines and curves in startling collection of synthetic/metallic shine and enamel-like color?"

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Although you can insert radio buttons individually the most efficient way to place radio buttons in your forms is by using Dreamweaver's Radio Groups. Radio buttons by their very nature are grouped together and only allow one choice, by using radio groups, you can skip the process of having to group the radio buttons together yourself as well as the pain of having to add them one at a time. So, to illustrate that I'm going to scroll down into my form again and this time I'm going to find this Tour Group Placeholder section, I'm going to highlight that delete the text and then I'm going to type in, Would you like to schedule a campus tour? So, this is indeed a yes or no answer and checkboxes would work or a single checkbox would certainly work here, but I want to give them the option of saying yes or no.
Okay, so I'm going to go down to the Tour Group Choices and highlight that and delete it, delete the text inside of it and then going up to my Form Objects. Again I can see that I have this checkbox group here and then on the right-hand side of the radio button individual radio button I also have the Radio Group, so if you want to grouping of those items you can go ahead and select one of those. So, I'm going to go ahead and choose Radio Group and when I select that I have to give the group a name. The overall group that I want here is tour, so that's let's me know whether somebody said yes or no to the tour.
Now the radio buttons let me explain what this is going to be. The label is what you're going to see beside the radio button, the values is what's going to be sent into the form if that particular radio button is selected, so you can have as many of these as you want we really only need two. For the first label, I'm going to type in yes, the value is going to be yes. The second label is going to be not at this time and the value for that will be no. Now I can also lay this out using line breaks or table I can't really think of a compelling reason these days to these tables, so I'm going to use line breaks and click OK at least not for layout.
Okay, so there is yes and not at this time. Now, one of the things that you might want to do is go ahead and choose a default radio button in terms of which one is default within the group, you want to be very careful about that, you may have heard the term dark pattern before. Dark pattern is where you force your user into doing something that you wouldn't normally do. For example, if I want the initial state of yes to be checked that's almost like saying hey, if somebody forgets, yeah, I want to schedule tour. So, the nice thing to do here would be just leave that unchecked and then do the, not at this time and check that and give them the option to check yes.
So, you want to be very careful about how you treat the initially selected radio button within a group, because that can actually cause a negative user experience. Now, one of the things that you'll notice that we didn't do when we inserted these radio buttons on the page was type in a tab index. Unfortunately when we do the groupings like this whether it's a checkbox grouping or radio button grouping, we don't have the option of doing a tab index, so we're going to need to do that manually. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to click each of these radio buttons, one at a time and then with the radio button selected, I'm just going to hit Ctrl+T or Command+T. Again that's bring up our old friend to quick tag editor and this allows us at the very end of this tag here to enter in tabindex and this one is going to have tab index of 110, oops we want to be careful don't hit Return too many times and then no is going to have a tabindex of 120, so now I'm going to go ahead and save that.
Now if I switch to Live view and test this out, you can see that only one radio button can be selected at a time, so choosing one will deselect the next one and that's a really good thing, you should always test those out. If you ever have a time where you can select more then one of those that basically means that they're not grouped together properly, so you need to check your code or reinsert the radio button group. All right, so we're almost finished with our form. Next step we're going to give users a way to submit the form by adding a submit button.

Pro Football Weekend Recap
Sunday 1/18/15 Seattle (14-4) 28 vs Green Bay (13-5) 22
JOHNSONBURG – Through a 'Blight to Flight' project by a team from Leadership Elk County, the Knothole Recreational Park in Johnsonburg is expected to receive new playground equipment in the spring of 2015. The project started after Leadership Elk County assigned Donna Costanzo, Sarah Grunthaner, George Hasselman and Katie Herzing to a group, tasking them with finding a sustainable and beneficial project to do within an Elk County town.
James M. Hoyt, 73, of 39738 State St. in Ridgway, died Saturday morning, Jan. 17, 2015 at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh following a brief illness. He was born July 30, 1941 in Jamestown, N.Y., son of the late John J. and Margaret (Taraska) Hoyt Sekelsky. He married Beverly J. Pontious on June 19, 1965. He had resided in Ridgway for the last 50 years, and he was a member of the St. Leo Catholic Church and a past K of C member. Jim enjoyed hunting, fishing, bowling, playing cards and polka music. He had served in the U.S. Navy, and he was a peacetime veteran.
Kimberly Ann Spicer, 45, of Marienville, died unexpectedly Saturday, Jan. 17, 2015 at UPMC Hamot. She was born July 8, 1969, in Erie. On June 24, 1989, in Kane, Andy Spicer and Kimberly wed. She was the daughter of Robert and Lavina Curtis Carlson of Kane. Kimberly was a medical assistant for the Warren Medical Group. She was a member of the Word of Grace Full Gospel Fellowship Church in Tionesta.
BRADFORD – A Bradford businessman is charged with murder in the shooting death of his son-in-law. Stephen Daniel Stidd, 62, of 725 E. Main St., Bradford, is accused of criminal homicide in the death of Melvin Daniel Bizzarro, 43. According to the criminal complaint filed with Bradford District Court Judge Dom Cercone, Stidd shot Bizzarro about 9:30 a.m. Friday behind Togi's Restaurant at 412 E. Main St., Bradford.
BENEZETTE – A Bradford man faces criminal charges in a May 31, 2014 one-vehicle motorcycle crash, which resulted in major injuries to Ashley J. Beckwith of Bradford. Daniel S. Hushon, 41, is charged with a felony count of aggravated assault by motor vehicle, a misdemeanor count of recklessly endangering another person, as well as summary offenses of driving a vehicle at an unsafe speed and reckless driving.
A makeshift memorial shrine may soon be removed according to initial plans by Ridgway Borough officials. The memorial-- a handmade wooden cross and artificial flowers-- rests in front of a fence at a small park located at the corner of North Broad Street and Eagle street in Ridgway. The tribute is for Brian Holterback who died July 13.
At press time, television reports indicated borough officials were allowing the shrine to stay although those reports could not be confirmed at press time.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams appeared to be on the brink of an upset after three quarters Friday night. After the fourth quarter and overtime, the Rams walked off the court just upset after a loss. Ridgway overcame a nine-point second half deficit to take a 38-29 overtime victory over the Rams at Johnsonburg Area High School. Johnsonburg scored just five combined points in the fourth quarter and overtime. The Rams finished the game with 17 turnovers.
Johnsonburg took advantage of turnovers and poor shooting in the second quarter and down the stretch Friday against Ridgway and held on in a raucous second half for a 38-32 win. Senior Ashley Imbrogno paced the Ramettes with 16 points, including a halftime buzzer-beater of at least 50 feet, and 12 rebounds while Nicole Myers and Brianna Quiggle had seven points each. The Lady Elkers had two players in double figures with Jessica Kifer (11 points) and Hannah Park (10 points) but were unable to overcome a lackluster second quarter and cold shooting in the last few minutes of the game.
"They feel so blessed to receive the things that we take for granted every day." That's one of the key points for Elk County Commissioner Jan Kemmer, who along with other members of the local community are preparing for a mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

Holding Students Accountable for Changing into Their Gym Clothes
Are traditional P.E. classes likely to be an effective tool in fighting obesity? What little research there is finds no association between PE and weight loss and obesity. One reason more P.E. has not led to weight loss might be that traditional PE classes do not always offer students a real workout, particularly in high school. Students don't like having to change into gym clothes and get sweaty in the middle of the day. So P.E. teachers may end up grading students in part based on whether they change into their P.E. clothes. The 25th Hour PE class at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia is different.

When Schools Shun Competition, Middle Class Families Seek It Out After School
June Kronholz writes that the self-esteem movement in the 1990s made many educators squeamish about competition. In fact, American educators have had a love/hate relationship with it over the past century. But what we have seen is that as schools move away from promoting competition, those parents who think schools are not providing enough competitive outlets go outside of the traditional education system.

AKL Nighttime Safari, anyone done it?
My family and I are staying at AKL concierge level in March. We are not early risers so the breakfast safari is out. But I see as of Oct. there is a nighttime safari which is much more to our liking, timewise.
Has anyone done it? Is it walking or in a vehicle? Worth the $$? Not a lot of info out there, so anything is appreciated! |

Since the "Desperate Housewives" finale aired last May, Marcia Cross has stayed mostly low-key. But when she was asked to participate in a PSA to promote prostate cancer awareness, she says it was a "no-brainer" because her close friend's husband had been diagnosed with the disease.
"There are so many causes out there but when someone you know is affected by it, it becomes more personal," Cross, 51, who also advocated for breast cancer awareness after her friend – the same friend whose husband was sick – learned she had the disease, tells ABC News.
"It's so selfish that I get to do something so simple and I get to feel like I've done something."
For Cross, who has partnered with Safeway Foundation and Stand Up to Cancer (SU2C), cancer has been an all-too-familiar presence. Not only have her friends been diagnosed with the disease, but her longtime companion, Richard Jordan, died of brain cancer in 1993, and her husband, stockbroker Tom Mahoney, was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2011. He is in remission.
Such experiences, which Cross calls "scary," was especially fraught because the couple, who married in 2006, has young children: twins Eden and Savannah, now 6.
"I've shielded them from a lot of things, but I've introduced little facts," she says of her kids' understanding of the disease. "It's weird that they lived through [their dad's experience], but they still don't know much about cancer. I try to keep it age appropriate."
And now that her husband is in better health and her ABC drama has wrapped (yes, the cast is still in touch, and Cross says they're having lunch next month!), she's focusing on spending as much time with her family as possible, and reveling in her twins' blossoming personalities.
"They're such different girls, but the beauty is they really complement each other and they get along beautifully," she says. "Savannah is my scientist. She's more concrete and scientific. She's got her dad's analytical mind. Eden is always upside down, doing cartwheels and spinning yards. More imaginative and lyrical. I love hanging out with them."
So much so that this summer, she and Mahoney will take their girls to Paris for a week.
"I feel like, I'm an older mother, do it now, do everything now," she says. "Life can turn on a dime. We're healthy, we can do it, they want to be with us. Let's do everything now while we can."

Ferries to Isla Mujeres are just steps away from this resort, as it neighbors one of Cancún's main piers, El Embarcadero. However, this location also means that the beach here is quite small and there are often boats passing by. A family-friendly hotel, there's a roomy kids' clubhouse with a small play area outside. There are also frequent activities going on in the resort's sole pool area, which can be a drawback if you want some poolside peace and quiet. But you can
always escape to the spa, where the cold-water plunge, steam room, sauna, and Jacuzzi are all free of charge. It's one of the few hotels in Cancun to offer smoking and non-smoking rooms, but all have white marble floors and orange stucco walls. The suites, which come with private Jacuzzis, are a luxurious splurge. There are time-share salespeople in the lobby here.

Assisted death bill advances, with black markBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | February 09,2013MONTPELIER The Vermont Senate is set to vote next week on legislation that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal medication doses to terminally ill patients who request it, although a legislative committee recommended Friday that it be defeated.
The measure, dubbed death with dignity by many supporters and physician-assisted suicide by opponents, was sent to the full Senate for a vote by the Senate Judiciary Committee but, in an unusual move, with a recommendation it not pass. Committees looking to kill bills normally just never complete work on them, meaning they never come to a vote of the full legislative body.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Sears, D-Bennington, said the 3-1 vote one member was absent fulfilled a promise Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell made to his fellow Democrats in December as he sought support to retain his leadership post.
Campbell and Sears both oppose the legislation but agreed to let it be debated in the full Senate, Sears said.
That was the deal made in the Democratic caucus, Sears said. Senator Campbell, as part of his agreement for re-election, and I agreed to do it as chair of Judiciary. I could have said no ... but I said yes at the Democratic caucus in December that I was willing to vote it out adversely.
The Judiciary Committees vote to give the bill a negative recommendation came a week after the Senate Health and Welfare Committee voted 5-0 to support the measure.
The negative recommendation sets up an odd dynamic for Tuesdays vote, with two votes necessary to actually pass the bill. Supporters must first vote no because the question up for consideration is whether the Senate should reject the measure. If supporters win that vote, a second vote would have to be held to grant preliminary approval, with a final vote then scheduled for Thursday.
The votes are expected to be very close, with both supporters and opponents of the legislation saying theyve lined up about 13 votes each in the 30-member Senate, with four undecided as of Friday.
Another path would be for lawmakers to reject the move to kill the bill when it comes up for a vote Tuesday and then take a recess to work up a series of amendments before resuming floor debate. One of the issues that could arise then concerns what the patients death certificate should say about the cause and manner of death. As currently drafted the bill would block any mention of the fact that the patient had died by taking an overdose of medication, instead saying the death was due to the patients underlying illness.
If the legislation ultimately passes, Vermonts law would be modeled on one in place for 15 years in Oregon that sets up several safeguards to ensure that patients opting to end their own lives are of sound mind and are not being unduly pressured by family members or others.MORE IN Vermont NewsA Montpelier man has been sentenced for trying to kill himself by setting his Elm Street home on...
