This is the precise atomic watch that calibrates automatically from up to six different global locations, so it provides unerring timekeeping anywhere in the world. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer, it is ideal for international travelers because it receives a radio signal up to six times a day from atomic clocks located in the U.S., Germany, England, Japan (two), and China—a timekeeping standard that neither gains nor loses a second in 80 million years. It has an automatic calendar and adjusts automatically for daylight saving. A solar cell collects indoor or outdoor light to power the rechargeable battery, and an LED and luminous coating on the hands and analog markings allow for easy reading in dim conditions. The watch can also display the 12-hour or 24-hour time digitally, has a 100-minute timer, is water resistant to 330', and can be set to beep at five daily alarms or on every hour.

It's a dandy challenge
By Roddy
from Wisconsin
See all my reviews
I bought this watch because I thought it would automatically adjust for time zones that I travel in. That is not true. I have to tell it which time zone I am in when I get there. At first I thought the watch was broken when nothing changed as I arrived in San Francisco, but Casio's absolutely fantastic phone technical support advised me of the truth. That is not obvious in the ads.The instruction booklet is very small and very detailed. Even after reading it a lot, I still could not operate the watch completely, but again I called Casio's tech support line and they were patient and knowledgable and just a delight to work with.One time I noticed that the analog dials were no longer correct. The digital time was correct but the hands were off by minutes. It turns out that a heavy bump or magnetism can knock the hands out of adjustment. There is a method on Page 64 to realign them, which I had overlooked. Tech support walked me through it and the problem has never reappeared.I like this watch a lot. It's fun to know that my time is really really correct. And it's a pretty watch and remarkably simple to adjust the band if you only read those other little instructions that come with it. It has 5 alarms, stopwatch, countdown timer and separate world time zone reference.Despite the fact that it is not what I expected, I like it a lot, but I think one has to be willing to learn this technical wizardry to fully benefit from its potential value.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Guaranteed gratification!
By Chelle
from Columbus, NE
I gave this watch to my husband for a Christmas gift. He couldn't have been happier or more surprised!!! He only has to be in the sun a few minutes to fully charge it or leave it under a fluorescent light overnight. He is thrilled to not have to buy batteries anymore! And it lights up in the dark so brightly that he doesn't need his glasses or to pull the watch up to his face in order to tell the time!!! It is a watch that could be informal or formal, both! I was a bit skeptical in purchasing it, but this watch turned out to be top prize! I also purchased another novelty type of watch that he had expressed an interest some time ago, but he hasn't even 'played' with that one!!! Terrific watch! Thanks!

It wasn't set for Pacific Standard time. It never occurred to me that I had to make an adjustment to the watch myself, and, Casio, didn't know about it either. I took the watch to 2 different watch repair places. Both places refused to even look at the watch because it was solar! By accident, I found the instructions in the handbook and was able to adjust the watch to Pacific Standard time myself.

Always know what time it is
By Mike
from North Potomac, MD
I purchased this watch as a replacement for an earlier model Casio Wave Ceptor watch that I still own. The old watch still works great, but the watch bezel, on both sides adjacent to the band, has some bad cosmetic wear. This new watch is supposed to be all stainless steel, so I'm hoping it will wear less. I'll keep the old watch for when I'm doing odd jobs around the house. The new watch is a step up in appearance. It's great never having to worry about whether your watch is accurate!

I just ordered the watch, but so far it is very good. All that was advertised, is how the watch functions. I would recommend this watch to anyone. I wish there was a watch like this for my wife.

We want to incorporate modal window pop ups that are 100% Javascript based in our Web site design. I have checked many different options for modal window, but cannot decide which one is the best option.
Which modal window pop up option that is 100% Javascript do you suggest as the best choice and why?
And when replying kindly provide a link to the modal window that you are suggesting. I mean a link to the page which would have a demo of it as well as the download code.
Thank you.
What is meant by best? The least work? The least dependencies? The most flexibility?
jQueryUI dialogs might do the job for you, but there might be as-of-yet unspecified reasons why they aren't suitable for you.
So, you may want to look through some collections of modal dialog windows to weed out the ones that you definitely know aren't going to work for you.
Once you've done that you can then let us know about the few that you have left remaining to choose from, so that we can give further advice from there.
Hi Chris,
Well definitely not a Jquery based solution.
As I noted, I think I did, for various reasons it need to be a 100% Javascript/CSS solution.
As to your other mark, yes I actually did read through those 2 links and after reading through all their suggestions I thought to ask the Web site developer colleagues here in SP.
Just out of curiosity what percentage of JQuery is JavaScript?
100% of jQuery is written in JavaScript.
The reason for people deciding not to use it is that in order to use it you need to load the entire thing into your page even if you are only going to use a small part of it. That makes the page a lot bigger unnecessarily.
Yes, I know " JQuery is JavaScript".But we do not want to load tons of JS that we are not going to use. And do not want to learn any language jQuery. So that is why we want a pure JS solution only, well with CSS.
SO what Modal Window code do you think is best? And to be exact a Modal Window that allows for filling in a form and of course that form to be submitted for form processing, although having processed via Ajax can be OK. Bur prefer Modal Window form to Standard form processing.
First off, since you haven't defined what you deem as "the best", you can receive biased opinion of people who have used modal dialogs.I've used quite a few, and I'll say that hands down - jQuery dialog is the best in my opinion.
jQuery isn't that big and you can load it into your page from google pages.The other thing is that no matter what modal window you want to use, you need to use some logic the author provides which can fit to the category of learning new language, even tho it's only a few lines of code.
The other thing is, if you have ever used css - it will take MINUTES to get acquainted with jQuery. If your reason for avoiding jQuery is that you don't want to learn a new language - why even bother with web development then?It takes less time to set up a modal window with jQuery UI than to post this topic and ask for opinion.

Brevard vs Newberry Game Day InformationNovember 10, 2011
Directions, Game Notes and Radio/Stat links at the bottom of the article
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College Tornados make their final trip of the 2011 season as they travel down to Newberry, S.C. and Setzler Field to take on SAC opponent Newberry College in the season finale for both teams on Saturday, November 12th.
The Tornados enter today's game coming off a difficult 17-13 loss against the Catawba College Indians last week at Brevard Memorial Stadium, the fifth time this season the Tornados have been in a game decided by seven points or less. Newberry also enters this week coming off a 54-42 loss against Lenoir-Rhyne University in the annual Bishop's Cup game hosted this season in Hickory, N.C.
The Tornados have faced difficulty moving the ball against the Wolves in the past and look to throw the proverbial monkey off their backs this weekend as they look to score their first touchdown against Newberry since joining the South Atlantic Conference in 2008.
Quarterback Aaron Reese and running backs Kelvin Jeter, Jack Woerner and Rodney Donald look to pace the NCAA Division II's eighth-ranked rushing attack averaging 248.2 rushing yards per game, while Eric Watts leads Brevard College and the SAC in receiving touchdowns on the season with eight catches inside the end zone this season.
The Tornados will go up against the Newberry 4-4 defense led by the aptly named Apollo Stretch and Kelton Hall as the Wolves look to end the season on a high note, while on offense, W.T. Murden, Brandon Bostick and John Gadson look to help the Wolves continue their recent streak of success against Brevard.
Newberry leads the all-time series against Brevard, 5-0.
Brevard Players to Watch
Eric Watts - The Brevard College Tornados career leading receiver, Watts has continued his stretch of success this season leading Brevard with 30 receptions for 518 yards, averaging 17.3 yards per catch. Watts is first in the South Atlantic Conference and leads the Tornados with eight touchdown receptions, and also has been ranked among the conference leaders in receiving yards per game with 51.8 yards per game, 9th in the SAC standings. Watts has also hauled in a season long 63 yard reception and provides the dual-effort of being the Tornados special teams weapon with his powerful right leg, as the 6-4 wide receiver/punter launched a SAC long 71 yard punt against North Greenville.
Rufus Jenkins - A late surge by Jenkins has put the sophomore linebacker on everyone's map as Jenkins followed up a career high 12 tackle performance against North Greenville with an eight tackle game against Carson-Newman, including his first touchdown as he returned a fumble 35 yards for a score, as well as an 11 tackle performance with 3.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage against Catawba. A wrecking ball at 5-10, 195, Jenkins has been fearless behind the line of scrimmage in the pass rush and is among the team and SAC leaders with five sacks and 12.0 tackles for loss on the 2011 season. Jenkins will be unleashed against the Newberry offense this weekend as the Tornados look to send the seniors out in style.
Newberry Players to Watch
WT Murden - Murden comes into today's game coming off a 261 yard, two touchdown performance last weekend against Lenoir-Rhyne and will look to continue his recent success since assuming the reins of the quarterback position earlier in the season. For the year, Murden is 41-for-65 for the season for 392 yards, completing 63.1% of his pass attempts. Murden will look to continue the recent string of success Newberry quarterbacks have had against Brevard with the help of Wolves' wide receivers Brandon Bostick and Jason Livingston as Newberry takes on the 52nd-ranked pass defense in the NCAA Division II as the Tornados are averaging allowing only 195.8 yards per game through the air.
Apollo Stretch - Linebacker Apollo Stretch had a career day in the loss at Lenoir-Rhyne last week, and with another ground-based offense on tap, he could break the 100 tackle barrier this season. After last week's 17 tackles against Lenoir-Rhyne, Stretch is second in the conference and 22nd in the country with an average of 10.11 tackles per game. He has 91 tackles total this season and has moved into the top ten in school history for single season solo tackles. Stretch can also move into the top 10 in school history for total tackles in a career and a season with a solid game today against the Tornados offense and Aaron Reese.
Kickoff for the game between the Tornados and the Wolves is set for 2 p.m. at Setzler Field in Newberry, S.C.
Fans who are unable to attend the game, can listen live through the broadcast brought to you by the "Voice of the Tornados" Dwayne Summers over the radio at WSQL Radio 1240 AM, or over the internet at www.wsqlradio.com.

Nobody goes into architecture because it's quick and easy. There's no siren's call of money or power, and there's just a tiny mouse-squeak promise of fame. Instead, the discipline requires, well, discipline: an unflinching capacity for late nights, glacial career advancement, and low pay. Hardship is an integral part of the professional culture. Many architects take pride in the inflexible, boot-camp trek to full membership, and with good reason: The few, the proud, the licensed.
But while it takes 12 weeks of boot camp to make a Marine, it takes more than a decade to become an architect in the United States, from college matriculation to the final attainment of licensure. Year after year, schools produce a host of hardworking potential architects, eager to make their mark. How does the profession receive them? Not with an exam and a license for those who pass it, as law does, but with thousands of hours of work requirements and a degrading label: intern. That's not much of a welcome wagon.
It's hard to blame Millennials—and Gen Xers and Boomers—who gripe about architecture's cumbersome Intern Development Program (IDP) and an educational system that too often provides insufficient preparation for the realities of practice. The average time it takes in architecture to go from graduation to licensure is 8.5 years—that's an eternity compared to the one year it takes in law and the four years it takes in medicine.
Under the circumstances, it's no wonder that young designers increasingly question the value of licensure, that a third of those laid off during the Great Recession say that they will not be returning to architecture, and that the profession can expect to face a serious labor shortage in the not-so-distant future.
In other words, it simply won't suffice to ignore the situation. It's a matter of survival. The profession must come together, address its attrition problem, and make some difficult choices about academic curricula, internship, and the Architect Registration Examination (ARE). Fortunately, the institutional powers that be—the ACSA, the AIA, the NAAB, and NCARB—are proving themselves increasingly open to the possibility of reform.
The 2013 AIA president, Mickey Jacob, FAIA, is a particularly outspoken advocate of change; he provided Architect with the following statement on the subject:
Unless the industry leaders from all the representative organizations come together to seriously address this issue, we will find ourselves facing a much more serious problem 10 to 15 years from now—a shortage of licensed architects unable to meet the demands of the marketplace.
Change is hard and in a lot of cases uncomfortable. But if we as an industry do not commit the collaborative leadership necessary to address the arduous challenge associated with the licensing process, then I fear we will not be able to attract and keep the young talent so necessary to the healthy and prosperous future of the profession.
Taking advantage of recent changes to NCARB's regulations for IDP, proposals are already on the table for architecture curricula that would qualify students to take the ARE right after graduation. These ideas, while now just thrilling experiments, hold the promise of architecture's future.
I don't believe anyone is suggesting that the profession compromise on the quality of knowledge and experience necessary to become an architect. But there must be a more effective, inclusive, and efficient process. It's time to design a better boot camp.

Many companies talk about "fair trade" but unless there is a certifying body behind the claim, it is all hot air. So What is fair trade certification? Fair Trade Certification empowers farmers and farm workers to lift themselves out of poverty by investing in their farms and communities, protecting the environment, and developing the business skills necessary to compete in the global marketplace.Fair Trade is much more than a fair price! Fair Trade principles include: Fair price: Democratically organized farmer groups receive a guaranteed minimum floor price and an additional premium for certified organic products. Farmer organizations are also eligible for pre-harvest credit. Fair labor conditions: Workers on Fair Trade farms enjoy freedom of association, safe working conditions, and living wages. Forced child labor is strictly prohibited. Direct trade: With Fair Trade, importers purchase from Fair Trade producer groups as directly as possible, eliminating unnecessary middlemen and empowering farmers to develop the business capacity necessary to compete in the global marketplace. Democratic and transparent organizations: Fair Trade farmers and farm workers decide democratically how to invest Fair Trade revenues. Community development: Fair Trade farmers and farm workers invest Fair Trade premiums in social and business development projects like scholarship programs, quality improvement trainings, and organic certification. Environmental sustainability: Harmful agrochemicals and GMOs are strictly prohibited in favor of environmentally sustainable farming methods that protect farmers' health and preserve valuable ecosystems for future generations. Environmental BenefitsOrganic food production is a much more natural and sustainable enterprise than conventional farming. This is because organic agriculture does not use any synthetic pesticides or inputs that often remain present in soil and water long after the crops have been harvested, and may potentially create additional damage to ecosystems (such as the current crisis with bee populations). Also, organic agricultural methods encourage recycling, for instance using manure as a natural fertilizer in fields. Nutrition and Health BenefitsIt has been scientifically validated that many organic foods offer higher quantities of important vitamins and nutrients than their conventional counterparts. Certainly, the consumption of organic foods reduces the amount of pesticide residues and other potential toxins ingested. This has proven to be a particularly important benefit for infants and small children. Social BenefitsMost organic farmers operate smaller scale family farms where they have a strong, personal connection to the land they are farming. The purchase of organic food supports these farmers, their families, and their communities.

I'm working on a project with a faceted search, and I'm confused about how to indicate the aria roles. In the high-res version, the site has facets (search refiners) on the left, and the results on the right.
The structure of the facet region is roughly (questions inline):
 [B](Do I need a role if I'm using HTML5 aside?)[/B]

 [B](It's a list, but it's interactive, so I didn't think the "list" role was appropriate...correct?)[/B]

Facet Group 1
 [B](This describes a group of controls to refine a search...do I use aria-describedby on the dd, or is the dt / dd relationship enough?)[/B]
Some Label [B](Since I'm using label for, I shouldn't need the aria-labelledby stuff, right?)[/B]
<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox1" name="checkbox1" role="checkbox">[B] (Do I need to indicate the aria-checkbox state?)[/B]
Some Label
<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox2" name="checkbox2" role="checkbox">
My apologies, I realize these are basic questions, but I'm finding I'm a little confused about the application of the standards.
Until next time...
I would argue that you are pushing it using the
 there, but that is just my personal preference. In my opinion the application role would need to be defined higher up because there are more parts to the page.
You are correct, since you are using , aria-labelledby is redundant, and not needed. You don't need the checkbox role since you are using a standard checkbox.
I am assuming, Some Label is a typo.
Thank you for the reply! We have a search region above this in the header as well as a main content area with results. Given your thought, I'll move application to apply across the whole page -- the user can interact across all areas with the same dataset.
I appreciate the clarification on checkboxes and labels, will remove those roles.
// Yes, typo on the checkbox label, day 6 of high fever and flu. Probably best to wear sterile goggles while reading my posts!
Are you making an actual application? Or allowing the user to search then to drill down?
Be very very very careful with role="application". It removes the screen reader's navigation methods. Plain text in a box may not be navigable or readable. Always test that the thingie with role=application actually works.
I actually don't know of any defined relationship announced between dt's and dd's actually, but the parent is a definition list, which is a list, which screen readers have already encountered before (DL is an old tag).
You have form elements. Is this a form?
Just so you know: aria-labelledby will override (replace) any actual labels you have in your code.
It almost doesn't matter that HTML5 is adding native roles to HTML elements: while you don't want to add a role to something that actually conflicts with its native role, most things' roles are either ignored (by older screen readers who already "know" what types certain HTML elements are anyway) or incorporated into known roles if it does understand roles. I'm not sure what screen readers do when you the author add a role that conflicts with a native role, though I thought the author-stated role was supposed to override the native role.
A general rule of thumb for when to add roles could be: only manually add roles when you're using an element without a defined (or matching what you're building) role (like using a span to be a "handle" in a slider, and using a div to be the slider), or to add landmark roles to the document (banner, main, navigation).
I'd be wary of doing things like . Ryan pointed out that you don't need a role of checkbox on actual checkboxes: they already have that role, and older screen readers don't need a role, because they know what a checkbox is and how to interact with it anyway.
Thank you for the additional replies. I ended up getting very sick, so I'm just now returning to the project.
Hmm. At this point, I think I'm going to have to lean on a friend who uses a screen reader to do some testing...I've made an initial guess, but I think this will require someone who's comfortable with the tools.
Stomme poes, I appreciate your sensible advice on using roles. I've pulled some additional aria roles out of the code that were redundant as a result. Less stuff to type is always good.
I'd be asking why is a FORM an ASIDE (it probably isn't -- not that anyone uses ASIDE for asides... not that most people even know what an aside is, and no it does not mean a sidebar of unrelated content), why does it need an ARIA role in the first place? where's your FIELDSET? What the blue blazes makes this a term and definition...
In other words the exact same nonsense as I've come to expect from everything built with the idiotic train wreck known as HTML 5. Nothing like using TWICE as much markup as necessary and pissing on accessibility while at it.
You don't have an "aside" you have a form... you don't have "facets" you have a FIELDSET. You don't have a DT and DD, you have a LEGEND for the FIELDSET and the INPUT/LABEL inside said FIELDSET... and then the unordered list for christmas only knows what... or the roles that are redundant to the element's TYPE (serious whiskey tango foxtrot).
Perfect example of everything WRONG with this HTML 5 BS and bloated ARIA nonsense... and a stellar example of why I keep telling EVERYONE to forget that nonsense and stick with what actually WORKS in the here and now -- 4 Strict and/or XHTML 1.0 Strict.
<fieldset id="facets">
<legend>Facet Group 1</legend>
Some Label
<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox1" name="checkbox1" />

Some Label
<input type="checkbox" id="checkbox2" name="checkbox2" />
HTML5 idiocy -- or more specifically the above being how to take that idiocy and shove it where it belongs. FIELDSET, LEGEND, INPUT, LABEL -- PERFECTLY GOOD functioning working tags without any of that extra bloated ARIA or HTML 5 BS that does absolutely NOTHING useful or better.
I can't believe people are buying this snake oil...'Twas Pirelli's Miracle Elixir,That's what did the trick sir,True, sir, true,Was it quick, sir? Did it in a tick, sir?Just like an elixir ought to do.
The role="complementary" on the  is a landmark role which is pretty much just there as an additional navigation aid, though pretty much limited to screen reader users (dunno about something like Dragon). You can call up a list of landmark roles and go directly to one, whether the author has added skip links to it or not.
Funny, I thought that was LEGEND's job... or LABEL's job.. or numbered heading tags job.. or caption's job... or TH's job.. but of course since nobody uses those properly, the answer is to just throw even more code at it - because throwing more code at a problem is ALWAYS the answer...
Landmarks are to mark up large sections of a page or application. They are to be used sparsely, and basically do the job your eye does when you do a quick eyeball of a page's structure.
Which I think is where most of my problem with it lies -- since I wouldn't be trying to deliver content to non-sighted the way I would to sighted in the first place -- that's kind-of the point of semantic markup; say what things are, NOT what they look like. It just strikes me more as a really lame way to justify presentational markup concepts... "quick scan of the eyeball" of which structure? The desktop/laptop screen layout? The print layout? the small screen layout called with media queries? The CSS off appearance? The code structure?
But then, I design my non-CSS structure FIRST, then my screen.css layout, then my print layout... I've not seen any bonus that ARIA roles would actually add to my non-CSS version that just properly using headings (as in all the existing HTML 4 heading-type tags; H1..H6, LABEL, LEGEND, CAPTION, TH) and indicating topic-breaks with horizontal rules couldn't do.
Unless you consider more code for nothing to be a bonus. Much like HTML 5, I'm just not getting what's "better" or even WHY anyone would want to use it. I see NO tangible benefits.... What I do see is a bunch of extra code for nothing.
The above code with the aside, DL abuse, UL for nothing, and roles to basically do what fieldset and legend are ALREADY supposed to be able to do being a perfect example of that. At WORST using fieldset/legend properly it might need an extra DIV because you can't entirely trust fieldset with CSS, and a span inside the legend for same... and that's the fault of the browser makers, not HTML.
Hi Talia, the only ARIA that I woul suggest to use is role="complementary" on the aside, this provides the role information for aside. for screen reader users that browsers have not implemented yet (pretty much all browsers except firefox).
You do not need any of the other ARIA markup. It is either redundant or not useful. native HTML controls such as checkbox already have information about role/state etc exposed by browsers to the accessibility APIs. use of role=application should only be used in very limited circumstances and is not useful or desirable in your example code.
(It's a list, but it's interactive, so I didn't think the "list" role was appropriate...correct?)
list elements are already mapped to list roles in accessibility APIs
(This describes a group of controls to refine a search...do I use aria-describedby on the dd, or is the dt / dd relationship enough?)
I would suggest using fieldset/legend as suggested previously by the rather arrogant deathshadow60.
(Since I'm using label for, I shouldn't need the aria-labelledby stuff, right?)
(Do I need to indicate the aria-checkbox state?)
no this info already provided by browsers.
Note: in most cases ARIA is not required for native HTML elements unless you are repurposing them to do something other than what they are specified to do.
AFAIK you cannot navigate using landmarks in Dragon. I found an article by Derek Featherstone talking about other AT. The article is slightly old, so I don't know how much changed.
Steve, thanks for weighing in.
Ryan, thanks for the link. It looks like some of that same research was in his 2011 Fronteers Conference talk, where he also mentioned (on that same map setup) how the buttons should work in Dragon...
I didn't read the article fully, but I assume the map exposes some controls that can be grabbed onto, or use dragon mouse/grid, whatever it is called.
In other words, the only time to use ARIA is when you're writing the HTML wrong.
You'll not stop people from building slider controls in forms, not only for when it's the best solution usability-wise, but also of course because everyone and their brother thinks sliders are teh awesome and must be used for absolutely everything and for extra fun decide to build them with jQuery too.
But seriously I love landmark roles for navigation in JAWS, NVDA and Orca. It's really great: unlike skip links, the landmarks list is always available to me in a single keystroke. Roles rock. They kick butt when you're a lazy surfer like I am.
You mean like the accesskeys menu in Opera? The existing heading and anchor navigation in... Opera...
Or am I just spoiled by Opera paying attention to semantic markup without needing any of this extra garbage?
You're spoiled in that you are able to use Opera at all.
Name one screen reader Opera works with. Just one.
Oh yeah that's right, it works with zero. Though it's worse on Linux, you're pretty much stuck with Gecko for now (webkit slowly coming along...).
/me lightly beats Opera ASA with a willow-switch... bad Opera, bad.
I'm pretty much not a fan of accesskeys. Landmarks are easier to use. Hit ; key, hear your landmarks, pick one. They have standard names so no needing to decipher which keys do what on which sites. Don't have to worry some retard picked your keyboard shortcuts, but I guess you do have to still worry some retard added multiple role="navigations" all over the page...
As with a great many other things Opera, HOW ABOUT THE ONE BUILT INTO IT?!? I assume you're not familiar with Opera Speak, which it's had since version 7? I know, I know, like every other reason I use Opera it's another of those features nobody sticks around long enough to learn about.
Hit V, if you've not used the reader before it will ask to install optional voice binaries (10.5 megs, does NOT require a browser restart)A and Q to cycle through linksS and W to cycle through headingsD and E to cycle through elementsV to read the current selection (also works with mouse selections)esc to halt current reading.shift-esc to pull up the current accesskeys menu
It's by no means perfect, but again it's something built into the browser.

The EF5 tornado touched down at 4:48pm and erased a full one-third of the town of Parkersburg in minutes. Several hundred homes were destroyed and 400 lay damaged. The tornado wiped out the high school, city hall, and the only grocery store and gas station in town. Granite tombstones had been torn from the cemetery. They were found a half-mile away from where they stood the day before.

The whole forum is Mor. We're emanations of his godlike mind.
The term planet earth is an innovation which has arisen in recent centuries with the error of heliocentrism.If one wants to confess a pure doctrine of Orthodoxy, they should be careful not to refer to the earth as a planet, unlike the current Pope as well as Patriarch Kirill and Patriarch Bartholomew, who regularly speak in error when they refer to our planet earth.
It is a real, not composite photograph. If I recall correctly, it was taken in the wake of the attack on the Abu Fana monastery a few years back. Not really a funny situation, if you think about it.
It's a nationalist thing. I had a great-aunt who used to make lamb on that day.
Georgian Cat in this case...
Are there turkeys Armenia? What are they called there?
If Aunt Yeghsa were still with us, she'd love to have your feet under her table. You'd be so overfed by the time she was done with you...
The Armenian word for turkey (the bird) is "huntgahav." "Huntga" comes from "Hunteeg," which means Indian. "Hav" means chicken.

I never thought of that. Of course the "hunteeg" in this case refers to Native Americans, but the h-n-t root would have its origins with the word Hindu.

Tornados Fall to Indians in Season FinaleOctober 27, 2007
Brevard, N.C. – The Brevard College men's soccer team lost on an emotional Senior Day Saturday afternoon, as they fell to Catawba College, 4-1.
The loss drops BC to 4-14-1 overall, while Coker improves to 7-11 for the season.
The Tornados struck first as Kyle Stanforth scored from an assist by Ian Townson at the10: 39 mark in the first half giving BC an early 1-0 advantage.
Brevard College had a strong defense for most of the half until a goal came from the Indian's Ryan Villiard with only 3:21 remaining in the opening period. The assist to Villiard came from Connor Swartout. The goal knotted the score up at 1-1 heading into the halftime break.
The Indians came out on fire after the break, as Sam Ketner found a wide open Villiard wide open in the front of the net. Villiard put one to the left side of the net past a BC's keeper Trevor Redpath who dove to try to make the stop.
Villaird then got his third of the day as he streaked down the right side off the field, finding the ball off a missed play by the Tornados defense and putting the ball into the net with only 8:07 seconds remaining in the second half. Garth McCormack made the score 4-1 with a goal to the left side of the box with another assist from Ketner to make the final score 4-1.
For the match senior goalkeeper Trevor Redpath had nine saves, as he faced 22 shots on the day.
The BC offense was able to get off 13 shots for the game.
The Tornados wrapped up their 2007 season with an overall record of 4-14-1.

Amanda Todd, the 15-year-old Canadian teenager whose suicide earlier this month provoked a flood of sympathetic outrage, endured one torment after another in the years leading up to her death: sexual exploitation online, cyberbullying, a physical assault at school.
Suicide is always a complicated tragedy that leaves behind many questions and few answers, and Todd's case is no different. Yet her story, and the many others like it that have made headlines recently, are a heartbreaking illustration of the link between victimization and suicide in young people.
A new study, published this week in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, offers fresh evidence for this link, showing that several types of abuse, and not just bullying, are closely associated with suicidal thoughts in children and teens.
Researchers conducted a nationally representative survey of young people between the ages of 10 and 17, interviewing them by telephone twice, in 2008 and again in 2010. "In the last month," one of the survey questions asked, "how often have you wanted to kill yourself?"
Overall, roughly 1 in 23 kids reported feeling this way at least once. Being bullied, attacked, physically threatened, or otherwise victimized by peers in the previous 12 months more than doubled the odds of suicidal thoughts, and experiencing any type of sexual assault—including at the hands of peers—more than tripled the odds.
Suicidal thinking, also known as suicidal ideation, doesn't always progress to suicidal behavior (none of the participants attempted suicide during the study). But it is an important warning sign, as are depression and anxiety, which the researchers controlled for.
"Exposure to violence—not just cyberbullying, but peer violence and sexual violence—increases the risk of suicide," says Elizabeth Miller, MD, chief of adolescent medicine at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, who was not involved in the study.
Victimization appeared to be even more harmful if it was perpetrated by adults rather than peers. Being physically or emotionally maltreated by a parent or caregiver more than quadrupled a child's odds of suicidal thinking, the researchers found.
Not surprisingly, the risk rose higher still if a young person experienced many different types of victimization within the same year. Experiencing abuse from several directions at once is especially damaging because it can leave kids feeling they have no place to turn, says Heather A. Turner, PhD, the lead author of the study and a professor of sociology at the University of New Hampshire, in Durham.
"These are kids who experience threats to their safety and security, who have a lack of support and nurturance at home," Turner says. "These kinds of violent experiences not only represent an incredible amount of adversity in kids' lives but they're likely also to damage the very resources that adolescents would normally use to help cope with these kinds of things."
The fact that many kids are exposed to more than one type of abuse highlights the need to look beyond bullying when addressing teen suicide, says Miller. "This kind of research helps show that when doing suicide prevention, we also need talk about other forms of violence," she says.
Cyberbullying, which has received the most attention of late, may represent a particularly insidious form of abuse, partly because it can occur anywhere and anytime, says Victor Fornari, MD, the director of child and adolescent psychiatry at the North Shore–LIJ Health System, in New Hyde Park, N.Y.
"Traditionally, there was a distinction between the school day and after school," says Fornari, who was not involved in the study. "Now kids go to sleep holding their smart phones and check their social networking site before they brush their teeth in the morning. The kinds of social support that might be available at dinnertime or at school lunchtime are often not present when you're the victim of cyberbullying."
Bullying, whether it takes place online or face-to-face, is rarely the only driver of suicidal thinking and behavior, however. Mood disorders like depression—which Miller and her colleagues purposely sought to isolate from their findings—can also contribute to the problem, as they reportedly did in Todd's case.
That was among the findings of a second study, also released this week, in which researchers at Dalhousie University, in Nova Scotia, compiled and analyzed media reports on 41 high-profile teen suicides dating back to 2003.
More than three-quarters of the teens had been bullied at school as well as online, much like Todd, while 17% were cyberbullied exclusively. But nearly 50% of the teens were said to have experienced symptoms of depression or a full-blown mood disorder, according to the study, which was presented on Saturday at an annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics, in New Orleans.

LONG BEACH - A little less than a month ago, St.Anthony High's girls basketball team suffered a 31-point loss to Serra at the Redondo Tournament. In Thursday night's nonleague rematch, the only improvement made by the Saints was in their margin of defeat.
St. Anthony was beaten 65-45 Thursday on its home floor by the Cavaliers, a game in which coach James Anderson saw the same miscues and tentative play he witnessed in December's 59-28 loss. The Saints trailed 22-11 after one quarter - it took them over four minutes to score - and were forced into 10 first-half turnovers by Serra's trapping defense.
"It's the same mistakes," Anderson said. "We're playing out of fear. It's the same pattern when we play aggressive teams. There's been no progression, which is a shame, because this is mostly a group of seniors."
And like in December's game, senior Kendall Cooper spent most of the night on the bench. The Duke-bound post sat out part of the first quarter with two fouls, and returned briefly in the second quarter.
But angry with what he felt was a lack of effort, Anderson pulled Cooper for the rest of the half, and she remained on the bench the entire second half. Cooper finished with no points, four rebounds and a block.
In the teams' first meeting, Anderson pulled all his seniors in the first quarter for lack of hustle and let his underclassmen finish the game.
"We play the people who want to be on the floor," Anderson said.
In Cooper's stead, senior forward Gaby Moura-Hayes provided 13 points - including three 3-point shots - and four rebounds. Freshman Shonnel Hoyt added nine points and senior Stephanie Williams overcame an early knee injury to score eight points and grab eight rebounds.
The Saints (6-7) had trouble containing Serra's lightning-quick backcourt, especially seniors Siera Thompson, Deandrea Toler and Caila Hailey.
Thompson scored a game-high 23 points, Toler scored 18 and both were instrumental in the Cavaliers' strong early play. Thompson scored nine points in the first quarter, and Toler scored eight on several excellent back cuts to the basket. Thompson added a pair of 3-points in the second, extending Serra's lead to 16 points both times.
"After beating them earlier, we know (St. Anthony) would come out hard," said Thompson. "So we tried to come out with a lot of pressure and defense."
Serra, the top-ranked team in CIF-SS Division IV-AA, improved its record to 13-2.
The Saints, ranked No. 6 in Division IV-AA, will complete their pre-Santa Cruz League schedule Saturday against Lynwood at Long Beach City College in the Real Run Winter Classic, a one-day showcase. Tipoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. St. Anthony opens Santa Cruz League play Tuesday at St. Mary's.

BEIJING, China -- The record-breaking, 60-mile long traffic jam that clogged a major expressway in China for more than a week, had little or no impact on bulk vending supply chains.
Industry sources said National Expressway 110, known as the Beijing-Tibet Expressway, which runs between Beijing and the Inner Mongolia, bypasses the major centers of production for bulk vendibles, which are primarily located to the west.
The congestion, which was reportedly caused by road repair, vanished as quickly as it formed after 11 days on Aug. 26.
Although China is planning to spend an estimated $11.8 billion on infrastructure this year, experts in the transportation field fear that may not be enough to keep up with the country's booming economy. Similar but smaller traffic jams have been reported in other parts of the country with distressing regularity.
It is not uncommon for traffic to halt in congestion that can last from a few hours to several days. The situation is unlikely to improve any time soon. According to the The Economist, China zoomed ahead of the U.S. last year as the world's largest car market, and Beijing jumped to the top of IBM's 2010 Commuter Pain Survey

REDLANDS - Representatives of the Police Officers Association could have dropped off the check and gone about their busy daily routine.
But on Wednesday, Thanksgiving eve, that wasn't enough.
The Redlands Police Officers Association not only donated a check for $1,100 but eight on-duty police officers arrived before a Thanksgiving luncheon at the Joslyn Senior Center where they set up tables and then prepared and served meals to about 100 senior citizens.
"This is so wonderful," said Bernice Bagwell, who was pleasantly surprised when told that the meal was free. "Not only is it free but for it to be donated by police officers and to have them here, it just is so wonderful."
The check was a result of association's participation in the annual COPSWEST event, a trade show-like event, earlier this year. Members of law enforcement agencies throughout Southern California attend and, among other things, compete in a cook-off. The Redlands Police Officers Association won "Best Taste" in two categories: Tri Tip and Chicken.
The check covered all expenses for the Thanksgiving meal.
"We wanted to help out people in our own community," said Detective Cindy Gourlay, now in her 14th year with the Police Department. "Sometimes seniors get overlooked. We are very happy to be here."
Joining Gourlay at the event were Lt. Shawn Ryan, Sgt. Mark Hardy, Detective Frank Rocha, Detective Tony Ortiz, Officer Chris Mead and reserve officer Larry Hawkins.
"This is super-positive," Gourlay said. "This is how it is supposed to be. People getting together. It's Thanksgiving and everyone is enjoying themselves."
The Joslyn Center was offering the Thanksgiving meal for at least its 10th year.
"I think this is a great thing to do and we already know the Redlands Police Department is a great police force," said Jeff Hopkins, program assistant for the city Quality of Life Department at the Joslyn Center. "It feels really good, and I know it means a lot to these people."
Senior citizens from the Redlands Senior Center also attended. For many seniors the meal served as their only Thanksgiving meal.
"For many of us, it is our family meal because our family can't be here and sometimes some of us are alone," Bagwell said. "This is so wonderful."
The luncheon reminded Cecilia Medina of a big family get-together.
"This is one big family," Medina said. "It's love. We need this. It's just amazing."

Top 10 Way to Avoid the Freshman (or Senior) 15!
Whether you live in the dorms, have an apartment or are a commuter, these tips can help you to avoid the weight gain often seen while in college.
1. If in the dorms, make sure and stock your dorm fridge and room with healthy snacks and quick on the go items. Examples: fiber or protein bars, light popcorn, low fat yogurt and milk, high fiber cereals, fruit, and healthy soups (No Ramon noodles!).
2. Eat breakfast daily and pack healthy snacks for in between classes so you don't get too hungry later in the day when you aren't in class.
3. Limit the late night snacking and eating.
4. Lay off the fast foods and vending machines.
5. Reduce late night fast foods (Chinese, pizza, etc.). If in an apartment, invest in a George Foreman or some healthy frozen meals so you can eat some healthier meals at home.
6. Go grocery shopping at least once every week or two to keep fresh foods in the house.
7. Work out, work out, work out! Exercising can help reduce stress, make you sleep more soundly and help you to concentrate better in class. It's a proven fact! The Shannon Center offers FREE classes and gym membership to all students so use it to your advantage. Even try going for a walk around the track in between classes.
8. Skip the sugary and caffeinated high calorie beverages (Monsters, Red Bulls, coffee drinks, pops, juices, etc.). Drink water, crystal light or diet juice to reduce the empty calories.
9. Make healthier choices if dining in the cafeteria. Limit the fried foods (chicken fingers, fries, etc), fatty meats (burgers, hot dogs) and high fat items (such as cheese, sauces, gravies, mayo etc). Choose grilled or baked items, foods made with whole grains and reduced-fat condiments. Try and add a fruit or vegetable to your meals to add some nutrition and fiber.
10. Eating smaller meals throughout the day that are low in fat and sugar while also adding in at least 30 minutes of physical activity can help keep your energy levels more stable though the day, thus allowing you to be more productive (and also avoid that college weight gain).

And 'Saturday Night Live' makes good use of shirtless host Jon Hamm as the new Republican senator.
-April Daniels Hussar
New Massachusetts senator-elect Scott Brown isn't going to be renouncing that nude Cosmo centerfold spread any time soon. No, this guy knows a thing of two about the public and the spotlight … he says those photos helped him get elected – and he's probably right
"If I hadn't done that … I never would have been sitting here with you," Brown told Barbara Walters on ABC News' This Week of the steamy photo shoot from 1982.
Read Cosmo Wants Scott Brown to Pose Again
"It's all connected," he added. "I was 22 years old there and thrust in the spotlight because of what I did with the Cosmo thing." He then offered to autograph a copy of the photos for Babs.
The interview came a day after a hilarious Saturday Night Live sketch featuring a shirtless Jon Hamm as the hunky senator:
Also in the interview, Brown disagreed with critics who said a nude spread like that would sink a female politician's career, and he even said he wouldn't necessarily be against his own daughters posing nude. "I would leave it up to their discretion," he said.
Don't tell Glen Beck! (NYDailyNews.com)
