Important Message from Eskinder Negash
For individuals wishing to contact the State about Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC):
The Unaccompanied Alien Children Program is a federal program. The State Refugee Resettlement Program is not involved in the custody, transport or placement of UACs. We are therefore unable to address your comments.
The federal Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement is the entity with responsibility for UACs, including placing them with relatives in states throughout the country while the immigration authorities determine their future. As UACs do not have refugee status, they are not eligible for services offered through our program, nor for other state or federal benefits.
Additional information is available from HHS at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr/programs/ucs/about
The Refugee Resettlement Program's providers often host special events and distribute articles containing relevant and important information about current refugee populations. Publicizing events, news, and current happenings pertinent to the refugee communities and our program is a major part of our program's effort.

Since October 1, 1991, refugees from over thirty countries have resettled in the Commonwealth, representing diverse ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds. The Cumulative Arrival figures presented here include refugees per se, Cuban and Haitian entrants, Amerasian immigrants and Kurdish asylees initially resettled in Pennsylvania. Not included are other asylees, and refugees initially resettled in other states.
Most refugee resettlement entails reunification of family members and/or planned placement in regions where there are good prospects for rapid employment and sufficient support services to facilitate adjustment to life in the United States.

Mr. Mohammed Al Juboori is a 27 year old refugee from Iraq where he was working as an Air Traffic controller at Baghdad International Airport. He arrived to the United States in December 2014 with his family. Following his arrival, he sought employment through the JEVS Center for New Americans in Philadelphia.
Initially, he was assigned to volunteering activities in an ESL Class where he helped clients from different countries to learn English. He was very active, helpful, and motivated, and also volunteered for community activities.
Mohammed worked with the various level students, either individually or in a classroom. Clients liked him and respected him. He developed a friendship with the clients and continued mentoring them after they left the program. Mohammed assisted in a very pleasant manner with job search, and in the computer lab. He liked to conduct job preparation workshops and prepare clients for job interviews and was extremely dependable.
Mohammed's dream was to work in his field at an airport but feeling a sense of responsibility, he was ready to take any available jobs to support his family and really begin his new life in the U.S.
When a job at Walmart was offered to Mohammed, he took it without hesitation despite the pay being only $8.00 per hour and he began his new job as a Sales Associate. Sometime later, another employment opportunity arose and Mohammed started working as a Machine Operator and paid a higher salary.
Mohammed was recognized by Governor Tom Wolf as being a contributing and valued member of the local community.

Chatham Marketplace Board of Directors, 2015
Kathleen Conroy
Kathleen Conroy previously served on the Chatham Marketplace Board from 2004 to 2010. She grew up in Tarboro, NC and graduated cum laude from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY. After a few years in New York City, she moved to Chatham County with her husband in 1996. She has a background in sales, marketing and product management. Kathleen lives on a small farm south of Siler City with her husband and two children. They raise vegetables, fruits, goats, bees and chickens. They have recently begun expanding their operation to include cattle for grass-fed beef. Kathleen has returned to the Board because of the mission of Chatham Marketplace and believes this co-op can thrive in our community
Sarah D'Amato, co-President
Sarah wanted to run for a Board of Directors position at Chatham Marketplace because she wanted to give back to the Co-op in ways that would best utilize her skills and other strengths (other than grocery shopping and eating!)
Sarah believes that her experience in food service and food service management will bring a different perspective to the Board and will be particularly helpful in assisting the Co-op. As a former training manager for a large restaurant franchise, she was involved in all aspects of food service, including recruitment and training of management, food preparation and service, marketing, and other business development.
Additionally, as an attorney, Sarah is familiar with the various legal aspects involved with the Co-op and its Board, including premise liability, labor and employment law, contract law, and the laws regarding the responsibilities and liabilities of a Board.
"I truly enjoy grocery shopping. Whenever I travel, I always make it a point to go to a local grocery store or market and allow myself time to browse the shelves for unique items and soak in the cultural snapshot that it provides. I believe that looking at Chatham Marketplace through the eyes of a first-time visitor offers much insight into what our community is all about," says Sarah.
Tom Morris, co-Presdient
Tom Morris previously served on the Chatham Marketplace Board from 2006 to 2012. He continued to volunteer service on the Finance Committee after rotating off the board in 2012. Tom has a background in Information Technology and cyber security. He has lived in the Triangle area since the late 1970's and moved to Chatham County in the mid 1990's. Tom returned to the Board to serve the mission of Chatham Marketplace as a vibrant element of our community.
Doug Wakeman
Doug Wakeman serves as Professor of Economics at the Meredith College School of Business, where he also once served as Acting Dean. He has broad experience in business finance, and in organizational management of non-profit enterprises. A native of New Jersey, he moved to Chapel Hill in 1974 to attend UNC, where he (finally!) earned a Ph.D. in economics in 1986. He has lived in eastern Chatham County since 1993, and has eagerly shopped at Chatham Marketplace since the first week it was open.
Katie Niver, Secretary
Katie Niver became involved with the co-op when she started working in the coffee bar while she was in college; spending afternoons cooking and serving community meals with Food Not Bombs after class, she felt inspired to find more meaningful work than just another restaurant job. After several years of working in deli and kitchen, she continued to develop her passion for cooking delicious, healthy food and community outreach.
When she left the Chatham Marketplace to pursue her passion of horticulture full time; she knew that she still wanted to continue to be involved in the co-op. Now Katie hopes to spread the cooperative values, reach out to connect with owners, and enjoy the fun atmosphere and staff she has grown so fond of over the past few years.
Jamie Saunders, Treasurer
Jamie Saunders moved to Chatham Co. in 2007 and lives near Bynum. After 40 years of working as an artist, designer, craftsman and scientific illustrator, she followed a life-long interest and attended the Natural Chef Program at the Central Carolina Community College. Currently she is a local cook, with a focus on preparing quality food in the community, and is an advocate for local food and local farms.
Policy Governance
The Chatham Marketplace Board of Directors uses a framework called Policy Governance to define the role and function of the Board and the General Manager. Policy Governance allows the Board to maintain complete accountability for the Co-op, but, insures that management decisions are left in the hands of the General Manager.
The principles at the core of the Policy Governance system are:
- Governance is a function of ownership, not management;
- Boards are the highest authority under owners;
- Boards operate by consensus and speak with one voice;
- Boards are accountable to owners for everything within the organization;
- Boards need to empower those to whom they delegate authority while remaining fully accountable for the use of that authority.
Under the Policy Governance framework, the Board has defined Ends Statements, policies outlining our Governance Process, policies outlining the General Manager's role, and policies defining the relationship between the Board and the General Manager. All owners are encouraged to read and understand our Ends and Policies
Board documents and materials
Executive Limitations Policies
Board GM Relationship and 4-Governance policies

This review is from: SYBA SD-DAC63095 Adapter
Pros: pretty good device... in theory.
Cons: it's a pain in the neck to get it to install. the only drivers are on the cd that comes with it. You can't even find the driver on the manufacturer website. In fact, there is not even tech support to help with what's happening. windows doesn't have one in it's data base. Oh. and best of all? it uninstalls it self when you put the machine in sleep mode, or shut down!
Other Thoughts: one star because (conveniently) it only works 20% of the time.

Way too young to jump on the psychological issue boat... sometimes a kid is mean spirited and ill behaved just because of the age, and can't think of the golden rule to treat others as how you want to be treated yet. I'm personally strongly against psychological diagnosis to be set in stone for so young. So many kids at school and at my workplace are drugged up and they really don't need to be...
Not saying that you can't take someone so young to a psychologist, but usually the case is you have to keep it up and nothing's all that confirmed until they're an older age anyway (like 8-10). You just keep it in mind that psychological issues *may* be a possible reason why a kid misbehaves... but 5 is just too young to blame it solely on ADHD.

"Local currency: Hryvnia" Chernihiv Local Custom Tip by HORSCHECK
Chernihiv Local Customs: 3 reviews and 4 photos
Ukraine is a country of cash, so it is always best to pay cash. The local currency is the "Hryvnia" (abbreviation: UAH) which is divided into 100 Kopecks.
In 2004/05 new banknotes were put into circulation, but the various old ones are still valid and in circulation as well. This causes some confusion as you may have 2 or even more variations of the same banknote in your wallet.
In the last years the Ukrainian Hryvnia has been relatively stable. Nevertheless you might see some signs stating prices in US Dollar or Euro.
I usually prefer to get my money from cash points which can be found at almost every corner in Lviv. I really find it amazing how many banks you find in Ukrainian cities.
You can also exchange your local currency at one of teh many exchange booths. As their rates might vary, I recommend to campare a few rates and ask how many Hryvnia you really get for your currency. Just make sure that you don't have to pay a commission and that you count the money at the window in front of the person in charge.

Update Notes
Updated on: 05/22/2015
Since we last visited DDFBeauties...
There are babes and then there are the babes on DDF Beauties. It's run by one of the most prolific pornographic producers and photographers in Central and Eastern Europe today. So if high quality is what you want, you'll definitely get it here. With over a decade in the biz, these people have got it down pat.
DDFBeauties is a well-designed and beautiful-looking site. The colors and images are as glossy as a wet pussy. Whether you want to watch solo, hardcore, lesbian or sex-toy scenes, there's a top menu that will lead you to all you desire. Maybe you know the name of that hottie who kept you up too late last night? Consult the alphabetized model index to search for her among a few hundred other gals, or use the "babe finder."
There are 2,671 videos to watch. You can stream them in an embedded player, although that isn't a great option because you can't skip ahead, make the player larger or even adjust the volume. Instead, download them. There are different formats to choose from, with many available in Full HD files. Not only are the stats high, but the scenes are also well filmed. From the makeup to the clothes to the sets, everything is incredible.
The 2,671 picture sets don't disappoint either. They can be downloaded in Zip files and the pics can be viewed in three sizes: small, medium and large. The large ones are so clear that not only do you have to scroll across the screen just to see the whole thing, but you can also read the babes' lips and drool over every luscious fold of pussy flesh.
The site leaves nothing out in terms of information relating to the scenes. You'll know how long it is, how many pictures are in each set, and get a synopsis and trailer. Plus, there are links to the chicks' other performances and a small stat card with the basics, like boob size. The only area in which this site loses marks is exclusivity. You'll notice quite a few scenes with a 1by day watermark, which is another site in the DDF Network.
The website was updating daily up until very recently, but you're still getting something new a few times a week. Obviously we hope they get back to that daily schedule, but even if they don't there's still plenty of porn to be had, even without any bonuses.
The site provides you with two membership options. Either sign up for a plan that gives you unlimited access or just pay for the girls/scenes you want (buy five and get one free). In the end, I highly recommend DDF Beauties for all of your hot-babe needs.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

All the production values and visual effects in the world can't top the stark power of a first-person account of a harrowing event.

All the production values and visual effects in the world can't top the stark power of a first-person account of a harrowing event. In "Witness: Voices From the Holocaust," a single camera captures the blood-and-tears-soaked remembrances of 19 individuals who lived through the Nazi genocide of European Jewry. It's a staggeringly powerful record of the atrocities suffered by innocent men, women and children, and a potent weapon to fight those who dare deny the evils of the past.Producers Joshua M. Greene and Shiva Kumar have assembled never-before-released interviews with survivors and witnesses from the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies at Yale U., and present them in a straight-forward style, using minimal music and archival footage. Without any additional narration, docu, based on interviews which took place in the 1970s, allows their tales of survival and loss to unfold as naturally as they would in an intimate conversation with a good friend or a family member. Many of the interviewees are in their 40s and 50s and have never talked about their experiences. As a result, "Witness" captures their natural emotions as they flash back to the tragedy that took 6 million lives. They speak about the rise of the Nazis in Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia and how they became subject to hatred and discrimination by people they once thought of as friends and neighbors. In some of the production's most moving moments, interviewees shed tears as they recall losing their whole families in concentration camps Auschwitz and Majdanek. They admit to weak moments when they've had to steal a piece of bread from a friend to stay alive, or when the instinct for survival takes over all other human emotions. The horrors of smelling the burning flesh in concentration camps are described, as are the utter confusion and broken-spiritedness felt by many survivors at the end of the war. The fact that "Witness" is not as large-scaled as similarly themed documentaries such as "Shoah" and last year's Oscar-winning "The Last Days," doesn't diminish its power. The anguished faces of its subjects will stay with viewers a long time after it premieres on May 1, National Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Witness: Voices from the Holocaust

A perfect fusion of artistry and craftsmanship. Remarkable!
Beautiful work!
It only took six weeks?! It looks like a years worth of effort was put into it with all those details. That thing is amazing.
Hope you got the best mark they could give! Looks soooo awesome.
Stunning! Well deserved DD!
You are remarkable!! I am in love with the honey tones....gorgeous!! This is the type of piece that you purchase and decorate around it.... A statement of elegance.
Wow that is phenomenal! Awesome job!
OH. MY GOD. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. D: Wow~... ^^~<3
That is...wow! Breathtakingly beautiful!! My father took pride in, and has a love of, woodwork. Most of the pieces in our home were made by him! Just...nothing that ornate! I'll have to show him these, he will LOVE them (and probably go tinker in his workshop for a bit!)! Congratulations on a well deserved DD!
That is a thing of beauty and I am very sure you got your degree with this amazing piece of work!!!
It is breathtaking!
That is simply gorgeous! Wow!
Unreal... congratulations on the well deserved DD!
So much detail and intricacy in every part of the design that I am just baffled at its creation. A great example of wood art.
truly a work of art ,your heart is in every detail
Craftmanship like this is lost in the West!!
when i'm in my own home- i know where i'll be getting my furniture from!
Congratulation to the well deserved DD!
Its very beautiful!
amazing work
this is awesome!
Having tried a little cabinet making myself, I take my hat off to you sir! This is a masterpiece indeed. You didn't make it easy for yourself, did you? Curved panels, matched hand-carvings and that beautiful marquetry in that just-over-half circle. I'm surprised you managed all the carving in 6 weeks, let alone all the finishing work. It is difficult to tell from the photo, but I bet if I were to run my hand over any part it would be perfectly flat and silky smooth. Congratulations.
Thank you very much! There was alot of sanding on the top to get the wood pieces smooth indeed.
Provides a sense of reverence and awe. Well done.
As someone who is just starting to enter the world of woodworking, I am absolutely amazed at the level of craftsmanship displayed here. Absolutely incredible.

I had the opportunity to run through this as a player, and subsequently received it as part of the Free RPG day and have been able to review it more closely. We had 6 players and used all 6 pregens.
The comments I've heard about the impossibility of the final encounter were not an issue for our group. We defeated the succubus fairly handily, entirely because we all used our abilities with a great deal of forethought rather than playing a hack-n-slash game.
I was playing the wizard and was originally EXTREMELY annoyed that nearly his entire spell list was composed of spells that the main villain was immune to. However, by our group discussing a strategy beforehand, making some knowledge checks going in and being prepared for it, we knew what we were getting into. So we knew ahead of time there was no point saving any of those spells for the final battle, and I breezed through all the other encounters with no one getting hurt.
We had the paladin detect evil before going into the room, so her ruse was revealed without it ever harming us. We buffed the hell out of the paladin and his weapon, so none of her resistances applied, when she tried to charm someone we expected it and were ready to dispel it. And possibly most importantly, instead of running in and trying to cut her to pieces, the first thing the fighter did was disarm her wand. With the paladin using smite evil, bull's strength, bless, and a "good" weapon we took her down too quickly for her to summon the babau.
People seem really hot about most of the pregens being unable to get past her DR. So how many of you just killed the cleric in the ambush rather than interrogating them for everything about the temple? As soon as we heard the description of the creature, the first thing I asked the DM was if my wizard recognizes it. A knowledge planes roll told me it was a succubus. Knowledge planes and knowledge arcana rolls subsequently told me a lot about her immunities. So did no one else ask the watch commander that hired us if he could spare any cold iron weapons? Seriously, if people are just running in with swords swinging and no time spent talking it out first then you deserve to get wiped, that's not a problem with the module.
This adventure was very well designed and was not intended to be easy. It was also proof to me that a party of players that uses their abilities well and also uses them in concert with each other can defeat what most consider insurmountable odds.

Ford Model A Super X Crossmember KitWritten by on October 1, 2002 Installing A Dagels X-Member
Model A frames flex. They were designed that way partly because roads weren't all that smooth--or even paved for that matter--in the '20s, and the somewhat limited travel of buggy-sprung solid axles relied on this torsional flexibility to keep all four wheels on the ground.
While today's roads are much more forgiving on a '28-'31 frame, the addition of a heavy V-8 engine and the power it produces aren't. These days, finding bent, twisted, or cracked original 'rails is more the norm rather than the exception, since they're the obvious results of excessive flex. That's why you see so many boxed Model A frame- rails. Although boxed 'rails go a long way toward stiffening and strengthening a frame, an X-member takes it further.
Check out the Super X crossmember kit from Dagel's Street Rods. It's a complete weld-it-yourself crossmember kit designed specifically for the Model A frame. It's already set up to accept a modern master cylinder and includes a GM-specific, but easily modified, bolt-on transmission mount.
Before you start this project, it is important to ensure that your frame is straight, flat, and square. Set the bare 'rails on identical sawhorses on a flat, level surface and warm up the measuring tape. Start at the front crossmember using the center spring-pin hole as your zero point. Measure the distance to the left and right cowl bolt holes and to the rear crossmember where it meets the 'rails. It's not so important what the measurement is, but that the measurements are within 1/8 inch of each other. While you're at it, stretch a piece of string down the center of the frame between the crossmembers from the center spring-pin holes and measure the distance from the 'rails to the string. Again, they need only be within 1/8 inch of each other. If they're looking good, you're ready to get started. If not, Gary Dagel suggests finding a better pair to form the foundation of your pride and joy. Dagel also strongly recommends boxing your 'rails before installing the Super X kit, as it was designed with boxed 'rails in mind. Dagel's Street Rods also offers a complete boxing kit for Model A 'rails so you could do the whole shebang with one order.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
The Super X kit includes the master-cylinder mount and the transmission mount and is laser-cut for accuracy.First, a straightedge is clamped to the 'rails over the spring-pin hole as the zero line for all future measurements. It's critical to get the straightedge square to the framerails and centered over the spring-pin hole in the middle of the front crossmember, so measure, measure, then measure again. Dagel's likes to indicate a framerail centerline with a piece of string stretched between the front and rear crossmember through the spring-pin hole centers.The cowl alignment spacer is then bolted to the cowl mounting bolts. This piece keeps the framerails at their proper spacing for the duration of the installation. Without this piece, there's a chance that the framerails could be pushed out of alignment while the Super X is being installed.Dagel's hot tip when installing this kit is to clamp a piece of plate across the underside of the framerails near the center of the X-member. This not only supports the pieces during mockup, but also helps keep the parts aligned within the height of the 'rails. Center it 57 inches or so from the zero line.Next, Dagel's makes an 8-inch wooden spacer block from a square-cut hunk of 2x6 or 4x4. This spacer helps keep the proper spacing at the center of the X. Dagel's also uses a couple of sections of scrap tubing to support the side rails while measuring them for trimming. Be sure to use tubing that is the same height as the framerails. Notice that when the side rails are aligned with the center spacer, the ends extend over the framerails.Dagel's marks the side rails where they intersect the framerails and trims to fit. Remember, measure twice, cut once. If you're not 100 percent sure about your measurements, leave the side rails a little long, then fine-tune until the center plate fits snugly between them.The cross tube is located 551/2 inches from the zero line. Dagel's aligns the side rails and cross tube to this specification. This measurement is also important as the brake-pedal assembly location is in a very tight area, leaving only about a 1/8-inch space for error. The X-member assembly is also centered vertically in the frame. The kit was designed to be slightly shorter than the Model A 'rails to allow for a good weld with minimal grinding.Once all the measurements have been triple-checked and everything is centered, the center spacer plate is installed between the side rails on top of the cross tube; just the side rails are then tack-welded to the frame.All measurements are re-checked and the cross tube is made parallel with the front zero line; if it's off, make it right. The side filler plates are test-fit over the front of the cross tube. Once everything fits, the measurements are re-checked, and then the center spacer and side filler plates are removed.
The cross-tube is welded in place. Dagel's moves around to avoid heat buildup and doesn't weld the top of the cross tube between the side rails as that will affect the alignment of the center spacer. With the cross tube secure, the center spacer and side filler plates are replaced, checked for fit and welded.While the center cools, the side rails are welded to the frame, then the welds are dressed. The slight size difference in the X-member allows for a fillet weld bead that stays below the top of the framerail and prevents grind-through for maximum strength. Prime and paint to your liking.

Audemars Piguet's royal lineage, a one of a kind IWC, Timex gets active and more.
A little Zen from Speake-Marin, Armin Strom's piece unique, Ulysse Nardin sets sail and more.
If you thought figuring out the Gregorian calendar, with its short months and leap years, was hard, try building a mechanical timepiece that will do it. Fortunately, watchmakers never shy away from a challenge.

IWC tweaked the size of its sporty Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph -- and now it's even better than before.

A new G-Shock colorway, IWC's foray into connected timekeeping, some Aussie leather and Bremont sponsors an American sailing team.
This week, it's all about pilots -- those that fly and the watches built for them. Oh, and some tweed, a German chronograph and one watch that looks like a musical instrument.
Suffering from a BaselWorld withdrawal? Here's a roundup of this week's watch news, including a pair of world timers, carbon and boron and a new Zenith calibre.
The GMT watch is brilliant not because of its complexity but because of its simple ingenuity. We've picked five of the best, and all of them are ready to hit the ground running.
Apple watch is here. Fantastic. Here are four mechanical watches to actually go spend your hard-earned money on instead.
Despite the economic clouds that blew into Geneva the week before, there were still some spectacular new watches at the annual Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie. This year, the exclusive exhibition of high watchmaking lived up to its name. Here are 10 of our favorite watches from the show.
Mondaine honors a ubiquitous font, Linde Werdelin takes composite case making to a new level, HODINKEE's tailor-made sport coat and more.
This Week in Watches: IWC's Kurt Klaus celebrates his 80th birthday, Bell & Ross's BR-X1 chronograph, Graham's Silverstone RS line and more.
IWC has created a commemorative timepiece for the Volvo Ocean Race, which will also to serve as motivation for the competing teams since it happens to be the prize for the winner of the coveted "24 Hour Record". Here are the details.
This Week In Watches: A return dive to the mysterious Antikythera device, a Nomos watch celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall, smaller watches from IWC and much more.
The term "Frankenwatch" is pejorative, suggesting an impure timepiece cobbled together from parts of questionable origin and vintage. But ask watch collectors to name the best parts from any watch, and they'll eventually dream up an imaginary watch that only a mad doctor could love. Here's GP's very own.
This Week in Watches: OMEGA's 50th anniversary tribute to Goldfinger, JeanRichard collaborates with French street artist Gully, a watch promoting awareness of mitochondrial disease and much more.

The contemporary IWC Portuguese is not merely a watch, but rather an entire model line within IWC's collection, with everything from chronographs to minute repeaters and perpetual calendars counted among its ranks. It is one of the stalwarts of the Schaffhausen brand's collection and almost universally loved by watch aficionados for the line's clean, classic aesthetics, purity of design and fascinating history. And it all sprang from a single request from a singular watch market.
New or old, a pilot's watch must be legible, tough, accurate and reliable, with extra points awarded if it looks good riding the sleeve of a flight jacket. This flock hits those marks.
Comparing two great depth gauge dive watches: the top shelf IWC Aquatimer Deep Three and an ingenious alternative from ORIS that works without any moving parts.
What started as a batch of 1,200 watches made in 1941 for the German Luftwaffe has since become one of the most iconic watch designs in history. Today Fliegers are made by both household-name German brands and a set of potent up-and-comers, in both classic styling and with an artistic license, at bank-breaking prices and for only a couple hundred bucks. Here are our favorites.
The Aquatimer Chronograph Edition "Galapagos Islands" ($11,100) shares more with theCharles Darwin Foundation than donations. It's a prime example of Darwin's Theory of Evolution -- in Aquatimers.
This week in watches: Tsovet's line of automatics, Mayan timekeeping, Richard Mille in White, German blasphemy and much more.
As it goes for just about anything "military", issued timepieces are some of the most collectible in the watch world. Between enthusiasts looking for a rugged watch to go on adventures with, fashionable folks pulling off military-inspired looks, and history buffs bolstering their military regalia collection, the military watch market faces the perfect storm of demand. Couple that demand with a fixed number of issued timepieces, and you start to see the whole picture. The rabbit hole of military watches and their history delves very deeply, very quickly, so we've broken our overview into two parts: those countries from the West with influential and interesting military timekeeping history, and those from the East. This week, the West -- America, Britain, Germany, France, and the unlikely Brazil, Argentina and Peru -- flexes its stuff.
Every year we come away from Salon International Haute Horlogerie, the world's most prestigious watch show, feeling privileged and awed. This year was no different. The competitive environment of the show, the electric vibe among the attendees and the enthusiasm of brand reps and watchmakers showing off their new creations make the Palexpo in Geneva a wonderful place every January.
After we've returned home and slept off the jetlag, we like to poll our team of Timekeeping contributors for their picks from the preceding week. So with our further ado, here are our favorite watches of SIHH 2014.
This time of year, the horological universe revolves around the Palexpo center in Geneva. It's SIHH -- the Salon International Haute Horlogerie, where the watch brands under the Richemont Luxury Group umbrella (and a couple of outlying independents) convene to display their wares in elaborate and opulent "booths" that defy that pedestrian name. Journalists and retailers from around the world descend on Geneva to jostle for first looks at the latest and greatest creations from legendary maisons like Jaeger-LeCoultre, A. Lange & Sohne and Audemars Piguet. Follow our man on the ground, Jason Heaton, as he sends in the latest horological news every half hour.
Since some press photos leaked from across the pond a couple of weeks ago, the online watch community has been buzzing about the next generation of IWC Schaffhausen's Aquatimer dive watch family, which will be formally introduced in a couple of weeks at the Salon Internationale Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva. With this year's refresh of the Aquatimer, IWC seems to have listened to some of its customers' opinions, but also took a new approach, bringing back the internal timing ring, with a new (ahem) twist.
If you're like us, you have a long list of watches you'd love to own. But reality (almost) always steps in, and your desires remain unfulfilled. Gear Patrol's series Want This, Get This presents a lust-worthy timepiece along with a more affordable alternative that scratches the same itch. With IWC's Aquatimer due for a refresh at January's SIHH, we bid it farewell alongside a lookalike, the Steinhart Ocean Two, which costs a tenth of the price.
You wouldn't think there'd be a lot to get hot and bothered about when it comes to antiquated and genteel timepieces. But just visit any of the countless web forums dedicated to this crazy hobby and you'll see debates raging that would make even Presidential hopefuls blush. Today we present two sides to the divisive argument that the International Watch Company (IWC) has somehow sold out or lost its way. How better to address the issue than an old-school-style debate?
In recent years, watchmaking materials have improved to the point where many Swiss-made mechanical watches meet minimum anti-magnetic standards. But that's not good enough for us; we're bringing you six of the most badass anti-magnetic watches on the market. Each has the same magnetic field resistance, 80,000 A/m (well above the minimum standard), except for Omega's offering, which...well, it puts the other timepieces' resistances to shame. Now, go forth and fear no refrigerator magnets.
The Ingenieur Chronograph Silberpfeil is a direct homage to the famous Mercedes-Benz W25 Silver Arrow that dominated motorsports between the World Wars. These cars were monsters, with oversized spoked rims and massive straight-cylinder engines barely sheathed in metal. The watch's dial sports the same circular-grained aluminum treatment as the Silver Arrows' dashboards, and the caseback has an engraved likeness of the car itself. But enough about the watch. This year, a restored Silberpfeil took part in the famous Klausen Hill Climb race in Switzerland -- and this video takes us along for the ride.
Big watches still rule the timepiece landscape, but, like dinosaurs and SUVs, their days may be numbered. Much to the relief of small arms (and those who don't need to compensate with their wristwear), a growing crop of reasonably sized watches are popping up. While 40mm would have been considered gargantuan 40 years ago, nowadays it suits most wrists well and looks appropriate with a variety of apparel. Here are our favorite six watches with diameters at or below 40 millimeters. Big watches, watch out.
IWC is thoroughly Swiss and proud of it. So proud, in fact, that they've put together a little video in honor of Switzerland's national holiday, which falls on August 1st, with a team of watchmakers playing the Swiss national anthem on suitably sized instruments. The conductor of the group is none other than Kurt Klaus, appropriately a national treasure and designer of some of IWC's greatest complicated timepieces. Happy National Day, Switzerland, and keep the great timepieces coming!
In a wristwatch, any function beyond merely telling the time of day is called a "complication". This term encompasses simple functions such as the date, poetic ones like the phases of the moon or even something as esoteric as sidereal time. But perhaps the most useful watch complication is the ability to tell the time in more than one time zone. Since the advent of the traveler's watch, we've seen every conceivable variation of the traveler's watch -- for pilots, divers, businesspeople -- but all still live up to their raisons d'êtres: keeping track of the world's times at a glance, no matter the complication style. Here are five of the best out there (yes, we said best, so gird your wallets) that are ready to take flight.
What's a nearly broke watch collector in love with the IWC Ingenieur Automatic to do? In this week's Want This, Get This, we searched for an affordable alternative -- and found one in the Christopher Ward C20 Lido.
IWC's Ingenieur is as steeped in history as any watch. First seen in 1954, and designed as both a general-purpose sport watch and for scientists who worked with strong electromagnetic fields -- hence the name, "engineers" in French -- it reflected a growing trend towards robustness, which was already driving the popularity of the still-nascent diving watch. We break down the reference 3239 Ingenieur Automatic, our favorite of the bunch.

Our vision is to Awaken everyone in New Orleans and the greater Gulf Coast region, and to inspire and empower each of you to help Awaken others. If you are looking to flower into higher states of consciousness, are looking for or already on a spiritual path, or are noticing a process of Awakening with you, then we invite you to be a part of a social group of people who are conscious-minded and growing in spirituality and Awakening.
We will take you through very advanced spiritual processes, meditations and teachings, and offer you a sacred energy transfer known as Deeksha that helps to flower you into higher states of Awakening. Everyone has his or her own path. These practices will support you in your growth and enhance your personal spiritual path.
There is much Change happening, and with change there is turmoil. We see it happening all around us in violence, disasters, one person hurting another. You may also be noticing it internally, feeling conflict inside of you. The External World is a reflection of the Internal World. As we continue to look within and see the conflict inside, and heal and release it, we heal not only ourselves, but everyone around us. Each of us has a responsible part in Healing our World by first healing Ourselves. When you receive Deeksha, you are, bit by bit, healing the conflict inside of you. As the conflict inside each of us individually is healed, the world conflict is also healed. Come meditate with a conscious-minded group of individuals and receive a Deeksha to take a step forward on your personal path, and to help all of Humanity step forward in its collective healing and Awakening.
We want you to be a part of the positive change that we want to see in our area. Come be a part of Awakening all of New Orleans!
"A good insight to keep in mind is this: we often want to be rescued from our misery or suffering, but say I were to take away all your so called negative emotions, would you not always have this nagging sense of "what if they come back?" Real freedom lies in the ability to experience without resistance whatever is there and that the deeksha gives us that ability (more and more over time) as it increases our ability to be intensely aware.
Not fearing anything comes from knowing from experience that you can handle anything by simply experiencing it or being deeply aware of it. Real freedom is not freedom from stuff that has been magically removed, it is freedom with all life has to offer by knowing that no matter what it is, you know you can experience it and it will pass in time as all things do.
Experientially knowing this is joy and allows one to have peace with life itself. This knowing comes from experience. When we find ourselves able to experience the so called negative stuff and realize it is no problem we are free."
~Sri Amma Bhagavan
Deeksha is a powerful energy transfer that works by creating a neurobiological shift in the brain, awakening the energy centers (Chakras) in the body and activating Kundalini energy. This creates a gradual shift in consciousness, freeing you from the suffering created by the mind, balancing the body's natural healing energies and attuning the brain to higher levels of awareness, bringing clarity of perception accompanied by feelings of joy, inner peace and connection. Deeksha does not belong to any religion or belief. It is a universal energy that can be received by anyone.
We currently hold weekly gatherings on several evenings each week to share meditation and the Oneness Deeksha/Blessing, and to talk about Awakening and any processing that continues with us. These weekly gatherings are open to anyone who wishes to attend, and are free. A small donation to cover the cost of the space rented will be greatly appreciated, but not required. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
If you would like to suggest another place and/or time to hold a Deeksha gathering, please let us know! :)
Here is a video of America's Oneness Guide, Doug Bentley, speaking about Oneness and Deeksha:
What are the effects of Deeksha/Oneness Blessing? The energy is intelligent and it interacts and transforms each person in a manner that is particular to that person's needs.

LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. (AP) _ A would-be thief in Lauderdale Lakes apparently tried to steal an ATM machine using a stolen front-end loader from a construction site.
The Broward Sheriff's Office responded to the Bank of America branch after an alarm sounded around 3:30 a.m. yesterday. Investigators found the abandoned construction equipment.
Authorities are trying to get surveillance video of the burglary attempt.
