Am surprisingly stumped by this one.
On my forms below the actual label for text boxes, I want to add smaller descriptive text of what each field is. So something like Name
 Enter your username to access the site, and then to the right have the text box for the username.
Hope that makes sense
Put "Enter your username to access the site" between spans and then style those spans accordingly. So like this:
NameEnter your username to access the site <input name="username" type="text">
Pamela's method is good, because it means those using a screen reader will hear the message before they fill in the field.
However, my question would be, how does this:
Enter your username to access the site
help your users? Isn't that obvious anyway, as that's commonly understood to be the point of a username.
Another option worth considering if you are using an HTML5 doctype and don't mind this not working in older browsers is to use placeholder text:
<input name="username" type="text" placeholder="Username for site access">
but again, that seems a bit obvious anyway. For wider support, you can use JavaScript for this.
Another method, which is somewhat less accessible because it relies on a newer technology, is to have hint text under or above the input, linked to the input via aria-describedby.
Username:
<input name="username" id="username" [b]aria-describedby="username_hint"[/b]>

Usernames are limited to letters, numbers and underscores. No spaces please.

The p could be a span if your hint is really more of a fragment or you want your label-input pairs to sit next to an inline element.
Don't confuse aria-describedby with aria-labelledby (and note the spelling for that... that's TWO l's). Aria-labelledby will override your real label, which you generally don't want. You merely want your hint to be associated with the input.
Anyway, this method is not preferred over the text-in-the-label method above, which works with older browsers and Accessibility Technology (though I would have a space character between the label text and span text there, or you'll get "NameEnter your username..." read out), but having the hint text separate does allow you a bit more freedom in positioning, if you wanted the hint text right above or below the input, which is something I see commonly (also error messages).
Usually sites put the message under the input rather than the label which although removes it from the label does make it easier to see but of course is not quite so good for accessibility as having it in the label itself.
As Ralph said you really only want message when the input is not clear. I've added messages to the following example which was constructed for a previous thread as an example of something
http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/form-inline-block-errors2.htm(View source as the code is all in the head)
To save real estate you could hide the message initially and show it on hover like so:http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/form-inline-block-errors3.htm
With the last example you could actually place the text back into the label in a span and hide and show it just the same- I'm not sure why I didn't do that originally;)
The placeholder attribute Ralph mentioned is good for hints also but note that it should never be used as an alternative to the label.
Nice links, Paul I've just been looking at form design, with a list off error messages and links to the offending fields. One thing I notice is that clicking those error links doesn't lead to the label or input that needs to be changed gaining focus. I'm sure Ive read how to do that ... must look it up again. @Stomme_poes; Are you going to resurrect your form pages on your site?
You can use target to highlight the input but you will need js to put the focus in there.
input[type=text]:target { background:#e4f0f8 }
I've added some jquery to provide the focus and a scroll to the element to the demos.http://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/form-inline-block-errors2.htmhttp://www.pmob.co.uk/temp/form-inline-block-errors3.htm
Nice work, Paul. It would be nice if it could work without JS. I was hoping you could go to the form element, fill it in, and press the back button to go to the next error. Seems this can't be done with HTML alone.
I've been reading up, and it seems a viable alternative is to use PHP to refresh the page with only the form elements that need to be corrected, the correct answers already stored. Seems a good alternative. Presumably the user can press the Back button to see the whole form instead. (I'm about to test out this theory.)
Good luck
The back button seems to break most forms or you end up paying for something twice.
Yeah, I'm just thinking of a simple contact form. You can usually click the Back button to see the form again and correct any errors.
Yeah. Still working on it; one of my last pages to redo partially because of all the new ARIA stuff coming out In the meantime, Marco Zehe has some "ARIA-tips" on his English blog that are really great. Also some good ARIA stuff on Paciello Group's blog, mostly written by Steve Faulkner.
I have had the generated error page add in anchors as destinations right above the label. You can't know if a screen reader will read out the label when there is focus brought to the input; some do, some don't. So I try to use something before the input when building a skip list. I think Paul's idea could be an option, but mostly because we'd be assuming the user was on a list link which described the error and field in the first place.
Because they were evil and silly and didn't use POST-Redirect-GET
Unless I'm missing something, when I click links like that and then start tabbing, the tabbing starts from the original link, rather than the spot where I've jumped to on the page. Can the focus move to the element that's jumped to?
Ralph: what you're experiencing is a webkit bug from at least since 2008. All other browsers will move the keyboard focus to the skip area like they should Of course, Hixie claims exactly the opposite (that most browsers don't move the keyboard focus), which completely contradicts reality as usual. Also, I know Joanmarie Diggs had filed a similar bug when investigating moving Orca functionality from Gecko-based programs (Firefox, Thunderbird) to webkit-based programs (increasingly more on Gnome, such as Epiphany browser) which might have been flagged as duplicate by the webkit bot but not sure.
This does mean VoiceOver users need to use something else to get their focus directly to the inputs. The only good thing I can say is that VoiceOver users (who are pretty much stuck with Safari unless very recent versions have started working with Firefox/Mac) have always dealt with this in whatever way they do, and having the skip list above the form won't add any additional confusion for them. Also, VO users on iThings have some kind of web page rotor something-something... you probably know what it is, it lets iThing users jump around pages... which is accessible to everyone and VO works with it as well. VO users such as Marco Zehe have commented on the usefulness of it, and likely would be used by experienced iThing users to jump to the form itself, if not the particular input in question.
Ah, thanks for pointing that out. I have recently switched to Chrome. Amazing they still haven't addressed this.
you probably know what it is, it lets iThing users jump around pages...
Hm, no, I'll have to check it out. I haven't played much with it so far. Too much else to do.
Apparently you have to turn it on: http://www.tcgeeks.com/ipad-ios-4-2-new-features/ search for web rotor. I thought it was something iThing people used in general since mobiles don't have Home and End buttons.

Royal pranksters acted illegally, watchdog rules
Radio watchdogs in Australia have accused the station that hosted the notorious Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge prank call last year (12) of acting illegally. Several staff at London's King Edward VII Hospital fell victim when 2Day FM presenters Mel Greig and Mike Christian tricked them into revealing the Duchess' condition while she was being treated for severe morning sickness in December.
One of the staff, nurse Jacintha Saldanha, was found dead from an apparent suicide days later, and officials at the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) launched a probe into the incident.
In a confidential report, which has emerged as part of a court case, ACMA bosses rule 2Day FM chiefs acted illegally by allowing the prank to go ahead, according to British newspaper The Daily Telegraph.
Lawyers for the station are reportedly attempting to block the report, insisting the ACMA has no authority to make a criminal finding.
A London inquest into Saldanha's death was delayed earlier this month (Sep13) while more information is gathered.

Case of a Murdered WifeMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Detective Palumbo had just finished examining the body of Debbie Layne, which was lying on the couch in her plush living room.
"Mrs. Layne was hit on the back of her head 3 or 4 times with the butt of that pistol," the sleuth said.
The .45 lay on the floor near the body. Sheriff Hobbs was dusting the weapon for fingerprints.
"I've telephoned her husband at his office and only told him to come home. I dislike breaking bad news. Will you do it?" the sheriff said.
"I'll do it," said Palumbo as he watched the body being removed from the scene. Then he took a seat in a lounge chair to wait for Mr. Layne.
The ambulance drove away just as Mr. Layne arrived. He came into the living room and asked, "Where's Debbie? What's happened?"
"I'm sorry to have to tell you that she was murdered about 3 hours ago," said Palumbo. "Your cleaning lady found the body and called the sheriff."
"I can't find any fingerprints on this gun," said the sheriff. "I'll send it to the lab."
Mr. Layne's face flushed as he got angry and said, "Please find the fiend that clubbed Debbie to death. I'll put up a twenty-five thousand dollar reward!"
"Save your money," said Hobbs. "The murderer won't be that hard to find."
AnswerPalumbo knew that the sheriff had only told Mr. Layne to come home and not what had happened. When Mr. Layne saw the gun, he said that she had been clubbed to death. A normal reaction would have been to assume that she had been shot with a gun, not clubbed.

Oral Cancer
Oral Cancer
I`ve been in a committed lesbian relationship for years and neither one of us have HPV or any other STDs. With that said, is there any research/indication that having oral sex regularly leads to oral cancer?
If you and your partner have had negative Pap smears and have no history of genital or oral warts, it is highly unlikely that you are at risk for oral HPV related lesions, especially in a mutually monogamous relationship. Human papilloma virus or HPV has been associated with up to 50% of the oral and throat cancers. Other important cofactors are any type of tobacco use. With that said, the converse is that HPV and oral-genital sex are both very common, yet few people get oral cancers.
At this time, there is no additional research available that indicates that having oral sex regularly leads to oral cancer. You and your partner are at very low risk for oral cancer, provided you do not smoke.

Will revelations of how much food is wasted by retailers generate goodwill or disgust toward supermarkets?
Such a question is not theoretical after news from the UK that the country's biggest grocers will reveal the volume of food discarded by their stores. The retailers also will apparently pledge to reduce carbon emissions on a multi-front campaign to capture the mantle of sustainability.
Tesco earlier grabbed headlines when it said last year that in the first six months of 2013, 21% of Tesco UK food waste tonnage was produce, only topped by bakery. Tesco said that only about 1% of produce waste occurs at retail, with much more waste occurring at homes.
Bagged salad, for example, experiences a cumulative food waste of 68% - 17% in the field, 15% in processing, 1% at retail, and 35% at the consumer level.
According to the story in The Guardian, the British Retail Consortium will soon announce that the top four supermarkets - Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons (plus a couple more retailers) - will give regular updates on food wasted in their stores. The first data will be published in 2015, according to the report.
No announcement yet on the BRC website just yet.
What about the U.S. and the issue of food waste? Well, it has been a topic of discussion before.
Check out the 2012 NRDC study on U.S. food waste here and the 2013 UN report on food waste here.
I doubt if the U.S. will have a unified retail approach to the issue of food waste, at least anytime soon. Perhaps one or two retailers will pick up the issue and move the ball forward. On a practical note, Wal-Mart has funded research to reduce strawberry waste.
Aside from the commendable impulse to study this issue to glean efficiencies, do readers think that mandatory reporting of food waste at retail will produce any positive results, either for consumers or the fresh produce supply chain?

Watch oil, it will be the key to this market as it pertains to the now-almost-sure failure of fiscal cliff negotiations.
No, I'm not kidding. Oil is the key.
During this end-of-year debate over the fiscal cliff, I have assumed correctly that the president was prepared to go over the cliff if he didn't get all he originally wanted in marginal tax rate increases and that Speaker Boehner would be unable to deliver the votes for any marginal tax increase from Republican congressmen.
Well, I might have been right, but I haven't made much money off of the prediction -- at least not so far. Because I expected us to go cliff diving, I have been short oil. I expected oil to be the most reactive indicator of the inability to get a deal done, even more so than the stock market itself. Usually oil is a terrific reactor to GDP divergences and the lack of a deal is, at least according to the CBO, worth perhaps -2% of GDP growth.
Time and the mouths of politicians have been running, but little else has been accomplished in the past two weeks. I've made almost no progress on my short position, while dipping briefly to be in sight of $84, WTI crude is now trading just below $90 even after the announcement last night of the abandonment of Boehner's Plan B.
What's going on here? There is legitimate shortage of North Sea supply that has been working to keep Brent strong and that has helped buoy WTI futures here, but I have expected the prospect of a cliff dive to have greater bearish effect. This is a symptom of the maddening year oil hedge funds, in fact all commodity hedge funds, have had trying to factor budgets and QE into commodity predictions and having little luck. Long positions in futures by non-commercials (mostly hedgies) are down to their lowest levels in 18 months, a normally bullish indicator. Yet supply reports headed into Cushing continue to swell, making 2013 look like a lousy year to bet on US oil.
With so many warring factors looming in the energy market, I was looking for the fiscal cliff debate to be the tie-breaker, pushing the third wave of bearish selling into the market and breaking it under $80.
Now I'm not so sure. But I tell you this: oil will be the key. Watch it carefully over the next few days. It will indicate whether the fiscal cliff will be just like the Mayan apocalypse, full of threat and foreboding, but passing without the slightest effect.

They are better than people think and way better than Detroit for sure.
Folks in the game thread were having coronaries, but I thought this was a really fun game to watch.
I think DG gets way too much flak. He had a couple ill-advised shots tonight (one of which was almost certainly a play called by Vogel) but for the most part his shot selection was quite good. He ended at 8-19, or 42%. Not bad for a guy in a slump.
I'm also liking George Hill more than the rest of the board, although I see him as almost exclusively a 2. I thought we played well with Hill and Collison on the floor together. I'm ready for Paul George to get all of Inferno's SF minutes, Hill to get all of the SG minutes that move opens up, and Lance to get the new backup PG minutes.
Not much to say about David West that's not immediately apparent. Exactly what this team needed, IMO. Forget the obvious basketball talent, I'm just happy to have another sane, solid, talented veteran. Imagine how much better this Pacer team would have been over the past several years with a guy like West. He's a guy who's right at Danny's level. When Bird said we needed two more guys at Danny's level, we start to see what he means.
Fun game for the undefeated Indiana Pacers.
This space for rent.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
I see so much Rudy Gay in Paul. Not a bad comparison, worst case scenario.
One other note: It's clear there's a new troll on board. Remember, it's not the admin's job to ban him (stupidity and negativity generally aren't ban-worthy offenses), it's our job to ignore him. Ignore flamers, folks, and they go away.
This space for rent.
good to know
My bad.
I love this team so far only 2 games but like what has already been said. That was not a game that we win last year. I'm glad the team gets a day off to travel back home to prep for the cavs but man I'm enjoying this team so much a day seems like forever to wait to see us play again.
This way our team is playing and winning it really makes it special for those of us who suffered through the dark years of satan's reign as our coach.
Looks as though Roy has been looking at old Patrick Ewing film on how to get into the lane, and getting away with it.
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
For what it's worth: Collison actually had games of 13, 12, 11 and 10 last (regular) season. He reached double figure assists in 4 of the 79 games he played. Three of those games were under Vogel, all in the last four weeks of the season.
I also really like Roy's role on this team. Solid offensive contributor, but making his money on defense and rebounds.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
Toronto reminds me of JOB's Pacers. Scrappy. Chucking three's. Tough when they play well.
I was also very happy with DC's PG play.
He had a good view and read his guys well and made some smart passes.
Plus he has really improved his defense.
An interesting stat of the early season (according to the Pacers' website): The Pacers are now 2-0 on the season despite failing to reach 40% shooting in either game (they shot 36.8% against DET, 39.5% against TOR). Prior to this season, they had lost 31 straight when they didn't reach the 40% threshold.
From what I saw, if Derozen doesn't go off on PG at the end there, the game is pretty much handled. As it was, we needed clutchness from Danny and Fluffy to pull it out. I disagree with the people who think the Raptors aren't bad. Maybe they get a little better with Casey at the helm. But other than Demar (who is really nice) and half-of-the-time Bargnani, they have very little punch on the offensive end and will continue to have one of the worst defenses in the league with Calderon initiating the defense and no interior defense to speak of. I'd be surprised if they aren't in the bottom five of the league. Doesn't matter though, let's just keep winning.
What a great game to watch! The Pacers offence is not quite their yet,but Granger and West showed a glimpse of what is yet to come.
I guess we'll see. The fact they beat Cleveland on the road pretty easily...and Cleveland is now handing it to Detroit may just be due to the fact Toronto has played together...and this young season with no practice might benefit those types of teams including Chicago...at least in the short term. So, it could be you are correct...but at the moment I doubt they are much worse than average.
Wow. That's an amazing stat.
This space for rent.
I don't understand the idea that the game was ugly, it was a pretty physical game for the regular season. I love our physical style. Although I didnt think our defense was good enough in the 4th. 30 points given up way too much
isn't it funny that the NBA shows all of Raptor's highlights in nba.com, and yet they are the ones who lost?
This is a great game. Sloppy, but clutch plays by the Pacers.
There were some really bad turnovers that seemed to result in easy Toronto baskets, but I don't have the points off turnovers stat to back statement that up. Danny was handling the ball up like it was a greased watermelon in a pool. Big-time threes at the end though.
I'm not complaining about it...and I like defense as much as the next guy. However, I prefer to see a well tuned offense too. It's probably too early in the year to expect that though...particularly with the lockout.

Know Your Rights When a Door-to-Door Solicitor Knocks
Sept. 22, 2010
News Highlights
No matter what goods or services door-to-door solicitors offer — cable services, home improvements, home security alarms, magazine subscriptions, lawn or cleaning services and more — they are required to have a license issued by the Fairfax County Regulation and Licensing Branch. The Fairfax County Solicitor's License is a laminated card with the solicitor's photograph, name and other information. Solicitors may only go door to door between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m., and are required to leave when asked.
Residents should immediately report violations and concerns about strangers in a neighborhood going door to door to the Fairfax County Police Department's non-emergency number, 703-691-2131, TTY 711.
Before you agree to buy goods or services from a door-to-door salesperson, it is important to know your rights under the federal Cooling-Off Rule and the Virginia Home Solicitation Sales Act, including your right to cancel and the seller's obligations. Together, these laws apply to virtually all purchases of $25 or more made in your home or at any location that is not the seller's permanent place of business.
Solicitors from accredited educational institutions or solicitors selling insurance, newspapers, farm products grown by the seller (meat excluded) are not required to have a County Solicitor License. Non-profit organizations registered with the state of Virginia and/or Fairfax County must carry identification indicating their registration but are not required to have a County Solicitor License.
For advice, Consumer Affairs Branch investigators are available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for walk-in assistance in Suite 433, Fairfax County Government Center or call 703-222-8435, TTY 711. Questions also can be submitted by e-mail. The Consumer Affairs Branch helps with filing consumer complaints, answering questions, compiling complaint histories, mediation, arbitration and consumer protection laws.
Contact: Merni Fitzgerald, Director, Office of Public Affairs
703-324-3189, TTY 711, Media Pager: 703-324-NEWS (6397)

2010 Grounded 4 Life One-Day Slam
One-Day Slam
When you think of a one-day show in the Northeast, there should be one single event that comes to mind: Grounded 4 Life's One-Day Slam! For the past 11 years, Grounded 4 Life has been hosting this show at the municipal building in Bristol, Pennsylvania. This show is heavily supported by Northeastern minitruckers. These guys have killer rides and show up in big numbers at all the events in the surrounding areas. Another great thing about this show is the ending spot for the Sparky Cruise, which is a memorial cruise for Chris "Sparky" Stanley, a fallen minitrucker who passed away suddenly in 2008.
If you're looking for a show to kick back at and chill out with your friends in this part of the country, this is it! The One-Day Slam is highly anticipated year after year, and even though it only spans a single day the 325 vehicles on display and 1,500 spectators in attendance at 2010's show prove just how popular the event has become.
For more information on 2011's show, contact Tom Pollio at (267) 784-2524.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The major U.S. equity averages finished with modest gains Wednesday, taking their cue from a dip in weekly initial jobless claims and improvement in domestic manufacturing data. Investors shrugged off the latest hiccup in the eurozone as talks between Greece and its lenders about the release of additional bailout funds once again hit an impasse. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 48 points, or 0.38%, to close at 12,837. The blue-chip index has bounced nearly 2% so far this week. Gainers were well ahead of losers within the Dow, 24 to 6. The top percentage advancers were Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ), Bank of America ( BAC), and Microsoft ( MSFT). HP shares caught a bounce, rising nearly 2%, following Tuesday's huge drop after the PC giant reported a fiscal fourth-quarter loss amid big accounting problems connected to its acquisition of Autonomy. Price targets on Hewlett-Packard were cut by Jefferies, RBC and Credit Suisse after company's report. Dow decliners included du Pont ( DD), Intel ( INTC), and Caterpillar ( CAT). The S&P 500 rose more than 3 points, or 0.23%, to settle at 1391, while the Nasdaq tacked on nearly 10 points, or 0.34%, at 2927. The majority of sectors in the broad market closed in the green, led by the consumer cyclicals, technology and services sectors. Only utilities were finished in the red. Advancers were ahead of decliners by a ratio of 2.1-to-1 on the Big Board and 1.8-to-1 on the Nasdaq. Trading was light ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday with volume totaling 2.65 billion on the New York Stock Exchange and 1.42 billion on the Nasdaq. Eurozone finance ministers, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank failed at their meeting this week to reach a consensus on how Greece could achieve debt sustainability and a lowering of the financing gap of €14 billion through 2014; they were aiming for an agreement to be reached before unlocking additional financial aid for Greece. Talks are scheduled to reconvene on Monday. "It's important to remember that the ultimate goal of these negotiations is to reduce the debt burden to somewhere around 120% of GDP," said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG. "That is a terribly high number and the math used to get Greece to that debt level is ambitious despite the considerable progress that Greece has made over the last several years." "Ultimately, we like many others see no way Greece can return to debt sustainability without further write downs of outstanding debt, including obligations in the hands of the public sector," he added.

Haven't we heard enough about pot? It's in the newspaper every day. It's in the air we live in.
I believe in marijuana for the real sick, one plant or get it from a pharmacy like all drugs.
The city council and board members keep backing down and playing with them.
Most, if not all, pot users are doing it for fun and the money.
Sure, it will be hard to stop them, but at least slow them down. They get to live in the homes, drive the good cars. They are on Easy Street.
Any one person can drive around and smell the air and if you are real lucky, you can live next to two houses that grow.
That's all you can smell.
People moving up here are trying to get away up to clean, fresh air, not to what we have now. Nobody should have the pot rule us.

Just got back from the game
That first half was brutal, Pacers were horrible, but luckily the pacers were only down by two. I listened to the postgame show and David Harrison, who is a great interview by the way, but DH said that Rick Carlisle really got on the team at halftime, Boyle asked DH to bring a tape recorder next time and DH said they would have to bleep the whole thing.
I know Foster had 18 rebounds, but he should not be playing, he looks about 60% to me, he has trouble moving laterally, and he can't run, but he still gets rebounds, amazing.
The star of the game has to be David Harrison, he is unstoppable, well not quite unstoppable, but we are so lucky to have him.
more later, sorry I have to go.

When Tal Cantor spent three months in Gondar, Ethiopia, this summer, it changed her life.
"Working in a clinic where illness is concentrated, sickness is in your face, it's a very extreme experience," she said.
Cantor volunteered at the Mother Teresa Clinic, which treats people who are gravely ill. Although she has volunteered at hospitals in Montreal, she said she wasn't prepared for what she would see on her first tour of the hospital. As soon as she reached the children's ward, she cried.
"You see how physically disabled they were," she said. "If they were somewhere more privileged, it would have never gotten to that point. They would be in a better physical shape, better emotional shape."
It was the Jewish Agency's Project Tikkun Empowerment Network (TEN) that brought Cantor to Gondar. This new program takes people aged 20 to 30, and brings them to impoverished countries to volunteer in the communities.
Although Cantor had never been to Africa, her father has been involved in bringing Ethiopian Jews to Israel, and her sister volunteered in Ethiopia last summer. Her mother works with adults with special needs.
"It was just a combination of my upbringing, my interest in schools," said the McGill University environmental-science major. "You learn a lot in school but when you get a first-hand experience, it enriches your education even more."
When the group arrived, they were given several options of how they would contribute to the society. After seeing the sick children, Cantor knew that's where she wanted to be.
She said that initially her attitude toward the clinic was negative. She wondered why the people there were not getting the proper care they so desperately needed. But as she experienced life in Gondar, and particularly in the hospital, that all changed.
Everybody in the hospital helped one another, and did the best they could, she said. "That place wasn't a bad place to be. It was a great place to be."
Despite being so far away from home, Cantor found the Jewish community in Gondar to be rather familiar to her.
"They're taught Hebrew and the prayers," she said, adding that it's pretty much just like any other Jewish school, and the city even has its own community centre. "They aren't any different than we are. They just live in a different country."
Still, she described it as a bit of a culture shock to hear the little kids speaking Hebrew.
Another moment of culture shock came when she was distributing food from the U.S. Agency for International Development. Typically, this agency brings food to Gondar twice monthly.
She said she remembers seeing a delivery of soy-enriched flour. A little boy came up to the flour station, put his hand in, and just ate it.
"That's overwhelming in itself," she said. "You see people who don't have the options we have. They're literally dependent on others to get a meal. You see people leaving with bags of food, and you don't know how long they're travelling with those bags on their back."
This sight changed her view of western society.
"I remember one woman carrying the bag on her head. And here [in Canada], people complain that their knapsacks are too heavy. How can they even say that?" she said. "These are people who are blind, and these are people who are crippled. Their hope is to survive the day, and their hope is to feed their families."
Cantor left her mark on the community through the building of a sustainable soccer field. Its sustainability means it was built using recycled materials, and nothing was cut down in order to build it.
"It is important to be culturally humble and to use materials that they have around their surrounding environment," she said. Therefore, with the help of a translator, Cantor teamed up with workers from the clinic to build the goal posts out of wood that was lying around the compound.
She created and designed the goal posts, and a man weaved rope from bags left over from a food-distribution day.
Painting is very helpful for many of the children who have physical and developmental special needs, she said, so one day, once the goal posts were set up, she took the kids out to paint them.
"By painting they were able to make use of the muscles in their fingers, arms and hands, all the while exploring their creative capacities," she said.
"Oftentimes, people come into these clinics from around the world, and they bring electronics and things they think are cool for these people to have," she said. "But you're going into another culture. You're a guest in their world." You can't just bring things in and then leave, taking away these new resources, she added.
Cantor said she recommends the program to everybody. But when they sign up, they should know the Project TEN trip is different from many other volunteer programs in that it's a longer experience in the country.
When people do short trips to Africa to build a school, it doesn't support the community, she said. It creates a society that relies on external sources, waiting for the next group from the western world to drop in and build something else for them.
"It's really easy for someone who doesn't know about the culture to think they're going to be helpful," she said, "but you have to be humble about how to approach situations."
In the end, Cantor, who is studying to become a doctor, said the program changed her life.
"If I have the honour of practising medicine, I want to give back to the Ethiopian culture," she said. "It's such a beautiful culture. The people there are so warm, and they have incredible stories. It was really a privilege to work there."

Wedding Cake Cookies...practice
Freehanded wedding cake cookies. I've always wanted to do some of these so this is my first try. Some I like better than others, some look like I have an unfortunate tick that can't be controlled. Sugar cookie, glazed one evening, let dry and the next evening I piped on the buttercream. I had come across a picture of some gorgeous wedding cake cookies the other day, they were a white background, red roses and green leaves, I wish I could remember who made them, she is extremely talented with a perfect eye for design. I was inspired by those cookies but I'm not as talented.

Correia makes start, then prepares for delivery
After facing Phils, right-hander heads to San Diego for birth of third child
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Right-hander Kevin Correia made his final start on Wednesday against the Phillies before heading back home to San Diego after the game to attend the birth of his third child with his wife, Diana.
Correia, who signed a two-year deal worth $10 million this offseason with the Twins, gave up three runs on five hits and two walks over 2 1/3 innings against the Phillies. He's scheduled to return to the Lee County Sports Complex on Sunday, but isn't sure when he'll make his next Grapefruit League start.
"I felt better than I did in my first outing," said Correia, who has a 6.23 ERA in two starts this spring. "I guess that's the goal -- just to progress every inning you're out there."
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he could tell Correia wasn't happy with his outing, but said it's not easy to pitch with distractions.
"I think he was a little frustrated today," Gardenhire said. "He doesn't like giving up runs like he told us. But I think he has a lot on his mind. So he'll take care of business back home and we'll get him back out there."
Correia said the one positive he'll take from his outing was that his curveball was crisp, especially considering how early it is in spring.
"It was probably my best pitch going today," said Correia, who threw 49 pitches. "I just had some problems with my cutter. That's what I was throwing on almost all the hits I gave up. So I'll just have to work on the location for where it needs to be."

Avila returns, will be watched closely by Tigers
DETROIT -- Alex Avlia returned to the Tigers' lineup Sunday night after missing a day with what team officials termed a mild concussion after taking a David Ortiz backswing to the helmet on Friday night. Still, everyone from manager Brad Ausmus to the team medical staff indicated they'll be keeping an eye on him.
When Avila took a foul tip that knocked him out of a game last August in Cleveland, he cleared a doctor's examination, passed concussion tests, flew to the next stop on the road trip and returned to action for a full game before the worst of the symptoms emerged the next day, three days after the actual injury. That forced him onto the concussion DL for just over two weeks.
"He had what's called delayed onset symptoms," head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said Saturday. "Obviously, we have to keep an eye on that."
Avila indicated Sunday he's feeling fine, with no lingering effects.

Ever since he took office three years ago, Gov. Jerry Brown has been trying to build two landmark public works projects to reshape California: a $68 billion high-speed rail system and a $25 billion overhaul of the state's water system, including two massive tunnels under the Delta.
Both have been debated separately so far, with most public attention going to the bullet train plan.
But on Monday, as state officials released a 25,000-page environmental study of the water tunnels plan, critics began to make comparisons between the two, noting that the administration is steaming ahead with both projects, even though neither has anywhere near the funding in place to complete the job.
"Both projects are very questionable," said Jonas Minton, water policy adviser for the Planning and Conservation League, an environmental group in Sacramento. "High-speed rail only has a very small down payment. The water plan doesn't even have that. The public should be very concerned."
If the two projects are linked in the public's mind, that could create big political problems for the water plan, say political experts.
"People are having doubts about high-speed rail," said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a senior fellow at the University of Southern California Price School of Public Policy.
"The Delta tunnels project is not going to be helped if it is framed within the same parameters," she said. "It's a very simple argument that makes sense to the average Californian: You can't buy something without having a down payment and some idea where the rest of the money is going to come from."
Brown's water plan calls for building two tunnels, each 40 feet high and 35 miles long, under the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, with construction starting in 2017. The plan also would restore 147,000 acres of wetlands and other habitat for endangered fish and other species, and reinforce hundreds of miles of levees against earthquakes.
Supporters say the plan is the best way to restore endangered salmon, smelt and other fish while also providing a more reliable source of water for the 25 million Californians who rely on the Delta for water.
On Monday, California Secretary for Natural Resources John Laird rejected the link to high-speed rail.
"This is different," he said. "It's not an apt comparison."
Laird noted that under the current plan, $16.9 billion to build the tunnels and operate them is proposed to come from a variety of water agencies, including the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, the Santa Clara Valley Water District, and farm districts like Westlands in the San Joaquin Valley. They would sell bonds and raise water rates, although none has yet made a legally binding commitment to do that.
The remaining $7.6 billion to restore wetlands and fund science and monitoring for 50 years, he noted, would come from Congress and a state water bond, which voters would have to approve.
Laird said it's perfectly reasonable to begin large projects without having all the funding in hand.
"It's sort of like, do you have all the money when you sign on the dotted line to buy a car over five years?" he said. "No, but you are committed to do it, and you will do it."
In this case, Laird said, construction wouldn't begin until the water contractors have all signed binding agreements to pay the $16.9 billion construction costs. If the state doesn't have the rest of the money, construction could still start, Laird said, because California would have years to find the money for wetlands restoration.
Opponents of the tunnels called Brown's plan a costly boondoggle that will result in more water being pumped out of an already overtaxed ecological system, mostly to subsidize large corporate farmers in Kern County and San Joaquin Valley. They said the entire plan is built on shaky financing.
The state's leading taxpayer organization said it is watching closely.
"You don't want to build a house before you've gotten a loan," said Jon Coupal, president of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. "There needs to be adequate planning with the financing. That's the lesson of high-speed rail. An inadequate financing plan is asking for trouble."
Voters in 2008 approved a $9.95 billion bond to build a 200-mph bullet train from San Francisco to Los Angeles. The cost estimate then was $33 billion for the whole project. The rest of the money was supposed to come from Congress, private investors, fares and other sources.
But the price tag ballooned to $68 billion. And last month, a Sacramento Superior Court judge blocked the state from spending its money, in part because it had not come up with a viable plan to prove there will be enough money to finish the job once construction starts.
So far, water agencies around the state have spent $240 million for planning the Delta tunnels. They'll need to put up another $1.2 billion for planning, soil studies and other costs before 2017, according to the state Department of Water Resources.
"Everybody's being cautious," said Beau Goldie, CEO of the Santa Clara Valley Water District, which has so far put up $12 million toward the studies. "We aren't going to invest in something we think isn't going to happen. But so far, we're positive."

When it comes to watching either version of The Beguiled, whether it is Don Siegel's adaptation from 1971 or Sophia Coppola's vision of the novel, I recommend having few expectations.
In which Mark coins the term "Batnado"...
So there's a "RoboCop" remake. That's something I have to tell my unborn children as well as my unknown bastards. It's also about to clear 150 million on a 100 million dollar budget.
A woman carefully navigates a torrential downpour as she pulls into the kind of hardware store in a kind of town where everyone has known everyone for most of their lives. It's also the kind of hardware store that specializes in game meat processing for extra flavor. She procures a flashlight, a length of rope, a metal pipe and other materials that would perhaps raise a few eyebrows should this kindly appearing woman be a grizzly transient. But the woman doesn't appear well. Her hands shake and raspy, blood-splattering coughs rattle from her throat.
2012's "Come Out And Play" is one of those movies where about halfway through you think to yourself, "wait, I've seen this movie before, haven't I?" Yeah, you probably have. So much of it is familiar, this movie about children who have gone crazy and slaughtered all the adults in their village.
"Maniac,"starring Elijah Wood as the maniac killer, is a remake of a 1980 slasher of the same name, and while the recent trend of pointless and half-assed remakes has turned many horror fans off of remakes altogether, I think this is the kind of movie that shows exactly the type of potential that remakes have by showcasing a level of care and craftsmanship that is rare for a horror film, let alone a horror film remake.
As with many of its 70's horror franchise contemporaries, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has become a series whose present continues to lose connection with its past, even as new entries stumble over themselves to pay homage to their roots. In 1974, Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel captured lightning in a bottle with a chaotic, nasty film about a family of cannibals living deep in the heart of Texas.
In what is being described as a loose remake of the 1984 horror classic "Silent Night, Deadly Night", director Steven C. Miller brings us "Silent Night", starring Malcolm McDowell, Jaime King, Donal Logue, and Jamie Kennedy.
Though it feels like it's been much longer, audiences have been subjected to marketing campaigns built around the concept of 3D-as-experience since at least 2009. Which is why it was both refreshing and a bit surprising when trailers began to roll out for "Silent House" built not around that now-tired theater gimmick but instead around the concept of "real-time horror." Commercials and materials have been up-front about the fact that the film is presented in one, uncut take.
What are you doing April 12th, 2013? Washing your hair?! How can you possibly have plans already? Well you might want to cancel them because that's the date you'll finally get a chance to see the "Evil Dead" remake in theaters. And in turn that's the date you'll finally get a chance to lose your shit over the "Evil Dead" remake because you think it's a pile of garbage and the original is sacred and girls didn't talk to you in High School and now that your acne has cleared up they should probably give you a chance. All of those things will happen.
Alexandre Aja, the fella who directed the "Piranha" and "The Hills Have Eyes" remakes has officially been tapped to directed the upcoming big screen adaptation of Joe Hill's "Horns". The books tells the tale of a man who awakes one morning after a night of hard drinking to find he's sprouting horns out of his head. Then a bunch of other stuff happens, like he finds out who killed his girlfriend and stuff. There's some snakes too. The point is I read the book and I want people to know I'm literate.
Horror hot pocket Neil Marshal (I don't know what that means) is being eyed by the good people at CBS Films for their upcoming film titled "Hellfest". The film is about a Halloween themed park where one of the workers is actually going around killing people. This all sounds pretty awesome to me. The director, the story... the killing... well alright the killing part isn't awesome. Ya know, in real life and all. In the movie it's probably going to be cool. And I love roller coasters.
The trailer for "Battleship", a movie about the classic board game, hit a couple months back and looked like one of the most ridiculous things to ever be put on film. But reasoning be damned because Peter Berg is already talking about a sequel. And why shouldn't he. They've made three of those "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movies already and two "Garfield" movies. Alright to be 100% honest I watched the first Chipmunks movie over Thanksgiving break and it was delightful. They're so tiny and adorable.

YOU could end up acting next to Sarah Parish in a forthcoming major BBC drama.
Yes. You.
On the television, with one of the country's most acclaimed actors.
Sarah is organising a charity walk to raise money for Southampton General Hospital's new paediatric intensive care unit, set to open in 2020.
And she's offering the person who raises the most sponsorship money for the event, set to take place on Southampton Common on September 7, the chance to spend the day with her on the set of BBC 1 show Atlantis, the second series of which is currently being filmed in Chepstow.
"If it's a day when we need supporting artists then they will get to be in the programme," said Sarah.
"I've done this before and the winners ended up being in a scene, dressing the wounds of an injured soldier."
Sarah can't guarantee that there will be a suitable scene for the winners to take part in during the visit – but they'll definitely get to spend the day with her and the rest of the cast of the hit show.
The sponsored walk is the second event Sarah and husband Jim Murray are holding this year in aid of the intensive care unit.
The couple began raising money for Southampton General after their first baby daughter Ella-Jayne died of congenital heart problems in 2009.
The couple, who now have a four-year-old second child, Nell, have never forgotten the sky-high standard of care they received from medics and undertaken charity work for the hospital ever since.
Earlier this year they founded the Murray Parish Trust – and have set themselves the eye-popping target of raising £1m to help properly equip the new paediatric intensive care unit and boost the number of planned beds from 13 to 22.
"The new Southampton General Children's Hospital will be very high tech and have everything under one roof," said Sarah who lives near Alresford.
"It will be a centre of excellence to rival Great Ormond Street. The people who work in the current department are angels but the equipment is outdated.
"It's important we give them the right facilities so they can do their jobs."
Speaking poignantly of her first-born Ella-Jayne, Sarah said: "You never think your child is going to get ill. I think when something like that happens you grow up very quickly.
"Ever since Ella-Jayne died Jim and I have both felt that life can be terribly short.
"You can never know when something is going to be taken away from you, it makes you focus on what you can do right now.
"We've both changed. When it first happened we thought we'd never get over it – but the work we do in Ella-Jayne's memory keeps her alive.
"So we hope to raise as much as possible from the walk. It will be last fun summer thing to do before everyone goes back to school the next day."
