Snap Analysis: Maliki faces hurdles for Iraq PM post
(Reuters) - An alliance of Iraq's Shi'ite political blocs picked Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Friday to head the next government, a step toward ending a political stalemate that left Iraq without a new government for more than six months.
Despite the nomination, Maliki will face an uphill struggle to convince others to work with him to form the next government. Maliki's State of Law bloc, which won 89 seats, has merged with the Iran-friendly Iraqi National Alliance, with 70 seats, to form a single bloc in parliament that would be just four seats short of the 163 needed for a governing majority.
Here are some possible implications and outcomes of Maliki's nomination:
*Agreeing on a single nominee is seen by analysts as a step forward to end a stalemate that left Iraq with no new government after an inconclusive March election in March. "Both inside Iraq and among interested foreign powers, such as the U.S., Iran and even Turkey, there will be a desire to see government formation move ahead," said David Bender, a Middle East analyst from Eurasia Group.
*But this is not a guarantee that Maliki will win a second term and it does not mean it will be easy for him to build up enough support to form Iraq's new government, analysts say. "I don't expect, under current circumstances, that a government will be in place before the end of the year," said Joost Hiltermann of the International Crisis Group. "Even if agreement can be found soon on the prime minister, this still leaves other key portfolios to be filled, and then the new leaders would still have to discuss the ruling coalition's governing programme."
*Some factions from the Shi'ite alliance stayed away from Friday's meeting, politicians said, signaling a rising opposition to Maliki from within. * Disagreements on whether or not to support Maliki raised speculation of a possible rupture of the National Alliance bloc, even after Friday's nomination. WHAT'S NEXT? * Maliki will need to start talks with other political parties, mainly the cross-sectarian Iraqiya coalition and the Kurdish alliance, to form the next government.
*Politicians will have to agree next on who would take the remaining top posts such as presidency and parliament speaker, as well as the so-called sovereign ministries -- interior, defense, foreign affairs, oil and finance. The support of the Kurdish alliance, with around 56 seats, would give any party the muscle needed to form Iraq's next government.
*"The Kurds would probably be willing to come to an agreement to form part of any government as long as most of their priorities are guaranteed to be fulfilled and they retain some significant posts," said Gala Riani, Middle East Analyst at IHS Global Insight.
*Iraqiya, a cross-sectarian alliance led by former prime minister Iyad Allawi, which won the most seats in the 325-seat parliament with strong support from minority Sunnis, has said it would not join any government headed by Maliki.
*Analysts said it is difficult to see Iraqiya joining Maliki's government unless it is provided with significant concessions. Sunnis who voted in force for Iraqiya may feel robbed of the election results if they are not given a greater say in the government.
*But Maliki can still try to sway some elements from Iraqiya to join him, which could lead to a rupture of Allawi's coalition, analysts say. "If confronted by a near-triumphant Maliki some within Iraqiya might opt to make deals with the new government," said Wayne White, adjunct scholar from the Middle East Institute.
*Government formation talks could still mean weeks or months of political horse-trading that may threaten Iraq's security if the wrangling leads to a prolonged political vacuum. WHAT'S AT STAKE?
*If one of Iraq's communities was excluded from government or denied what it views as a fair share of power, a rise in violence could result. Sectarian bloodshed between Iraq's majority Shi'ite and minority Sunnis almost ripped Iraq apart in 2006-07.
*Analysts say excluding Iraqiya, and its leader Allawi, would provoke Sunni countries such as Saudi Arabia and other Gulf States, which have in the past signaled their opposition to Maliki's rule.
*Analysts see a long tussle over a government as an invitation for trouble when Iraq is fighting a stubborn insurgency while U.S. troops prepare to withdraw by the end of 2011.
*Iraq signed a series of deals with international oil companies to unlock its vast oil wealth in a bid to boost its output capacity to 12 million barrels per day from 2.5 million bpd now. The deals could catapult Iraq into the top league of oil producers, rivaling Saudi Arabia.
*Analysts say the oil deals, which would generate revenue desperately needed by Iraq to rebuild its battered economy, are likely to survive any big change in the next government as few doubt the benefits of such contracts.
*Clues on the makeup of the next government are being watched closely by the oil companies.

I could have stayed, but that job only served to reinforce the fact that I needed to go back to school. The people I worked with earned every dime they got paid. I certainly wouldn't have done that job for 1/2 the pay.

I finally took some photos of my "new look". Please email me your comments, and permission to put them on my website! Also, I've put up an ideas web page. I wonder if I can turn it into a Wiki page?
I arrived in São Paulo today... (~35 hours journey from Melbourne).\ Needless to say, I'm rather tired.
Also, due to one of the fundamental laws of nature (Murphy), my internet connection for my machine back at home died. So it has a new IP address (if it's up at all), that I don't know... I guess I'll have to call my family (a reasonable thing to do, when you arrive overseas ;) to investigate...
Wheee! Exams over, and I have some time for socializing and hacking! And I'm off to Brazil in 2 days...
Parted hacking: ported GPT support to 1.5.x (net change of -1000 LOC!), and wrote MIPS support.
Sister's engagement party: lots of fun, but I got a bit drunk (and felt a bit ill for 1/2 hour) :( Her boyfriend/fiancee ROCKS, and his GNU/Linux brainwashing is progressing well :)
Latest ponderings:
Advogato seems to be doing strange things. Doing some experiments (so don't downgrade trust!). Basically, my certificates at apprentice level seem to do nothing. At higher levels, they seem to have more "force". I would expect it to be the other way around!
In other news, uni is fun this semester. There is a subject called "Frontiers of Computer Science" that involves a few lecturers having a rant on their latest obsession. Very fun :) This code optimization stuff is so cute! Too many interesting things to do!
It looks like I'm going to .mx from 6th-9th dec, then to .br until end of feb.
Uni starts tommorrow.
Spent the day doing data recovery (someone else's data ;) Waste of time really. Just, I need to figure out how to do it on someone else's time ;) Seriously, data recovery is an interesting problem... I probably want a logical language like Mercury (good excuse to get into task-academic-crap!)
All my friends are running away overseas! Come to think of it, I want to run away to Brazil too...
I've been procrastinating (wasting time) today. I've been thinking about writing an article about how one should write file system resizers... the obvious method (basically: defrag + update metadata) is fundamentally Wrong, and I've seen many people fall into the Obvious trap (I did myself, the first time around).
Which raises the question in general: should free software hackers write more technical docs / papers (i.e. targetted at hackers)? I think yes... reading over mail archives is often rather difficult, unless you already know a lot about the particular area. And even if you do, it's a lot of effort. Also, I think writing technical docs for hackers will make it easier for the newbie-hackers to see how different hackers think about problems.
So, I've decided it's a good idea, so, now I need to waste some more time to do it ;-)
I added the home page of Clausen Profit Systems, Inc. to my home page (a spam send-up). Enjoy ;-)
Also, had a conversation with pfh about AI. "Godel, Escher, Bach" / "Metamagical Themas" promotes the idea that creativity is the ability to find something that is relevant (which is rather loosely defined). This sounds about right to me. For example, thinking up a joke in conversation, or just coming up with a new idea. But there seems to be a difference between this, and, say reading, where you have to come up with the relevent meaning from text. But perhaps it is the same thing... (they're both HARD problems from a computational point of view)
Open question: is finding a relevant object the same as pattern matching? Or is pattern matching the equivalent of determining if something is relevant, given the object and context?
Also, methinks good music composition (i.e. good by my standards ;-) is AI complete. Good musicians come up with material that is "new", in the sense that you don't get bored of it, because it sounds like something you've heard before. Yet, it's still similar (eg: same instruments, similar tone, etc.) to what came before. (Here's a paradox: good music must be different, yet it must be the same). Anyway, I think coming up with new things is linked to finding something that is relevant (as I waved my hands about, above).
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Reasons to visit East Greenland0
If Greenland is known for one thing, it is probably its amazing views of the Aurora Borealis. Known to most as the "Northern Lights," this majestic display of natural light in the northern sky is breathtaking to say the least.
The Greenlandic people believe the dancing of the Northern Lights are their "ancestors' spirits playing football [soccer] in the sky." Some of the best displays in August and September can be found near Scoresbysund Fjord where the white and green colours dance around the night's sky. Meteorologists say that 2013 will have the best display of lights in over a decade. So take a blanket, a hot drink and sit back and enjoy the show on a clear night!

This exhibition examines Frank W. Benson's long and productive career in the context of his life and work at his summer home, Wooster Farm, on the island of North Haven, Maine, thirteen miles off the coast of Rockland. It was there that Benson (1862 - 1951) painted almost all of his brilliant, sun-drenched Impressionist paintings. The renowned artist's island home was also where he launched his prolific etching career and began making his highly successful watercolors. Through his paintings, both oil and watercolor, drypoints, etchings and lithographs, the exhibition will illustrate the important ways in which life on North Haven affected Benson's art.
Assistant Curator Jane Bianco will lead visitors through this exhibition focusing on Benson's watercolors during a 30-minute gallery tour.
Location: meet in museum main lobby

4.5: Coriolis Effect
Can you tell which hemisphere you're in?
People say that Coriolis effect determines the direction that water flushes down a toilet or sink. If that's true, then which hemisphere is this toilet in? It looks like it's in the Northern Hemisphere, because the spiral arms are going the same direction as a Northern Hemisphere hurricane. Unfortunately, there are too many other factors that determine the direction toilet water flushes, such as friction and the power of the flush. So we don't know where this toilet is.
Coriolis Effect
The Coriolis effect describes how Earth's rotation steers winds and surface ocean currents (Figure below). Coriolis causes freely moving objects to appear to move to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. The objects themselves are actually moving straight, but the Earth is rotating beneath them, so they seem to bend or curve. That's why it is incorrect to call Coriolis a force. It is not forcing anything to happen!
An example might make the Coriolis effect easier to visualize. If an airplane flies 500 miles due north, it will not arrive at the city that was due north of it when it began its journey. Over the time it takes for the airplane to fly 500 miles, that city moved, along with the Earth it sits on. The airplane will therefore arrive at a city to the west of the original city (in the Northern Hemisphere), unless the pilot has compensated for the change. So to reach his intended destination, the pilot must also veer right while flying north.
As wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it. As a result, an object moving north or south along the Earth will appear to move in a curve instead of in a straight line. Wind or water that travels toward the poles from the equator is deflected to the east, while wind or water that travels toward the equator from the poles gets bent to the west. The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns. The direction that they spin depends on the hemisphere that they are in.
Coriolis effect is demonstrated using a metal ball and a rotating plate in this video. The ball moves in a circular path just like a freely moving particle of gas or liquid moves on the rotating Earth (5b): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wda7azMvabE&feature=related (2:04).
- Earth rotates beneath freely moving objects like water and air. Compared with a spot on the planet, the freely moving objects appear to be moving.
- Freely moving objects appear to move right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere.
- Coriolis is an effect rather than a force because it is not forcing a motion, it's just an appearance of a change of motion.
Use these resources to answer the questions that follow.
1. What is the Coriolis effect?
2. What is subject to the Coriolis effect?
3. What is the direction of deflection in the Northern Hemisphere?
4. What is the direction of deflection in the Southern Hemisphere?
Test your skills on the Coriolis effect.
5. What happens if pilots do not correct for the Coriolis effect?
1. If an airplane flies from east to west in the Northern Hemisphere without changing latitude at all, in which direction will it appear to curve?
2. If an airplane flies from south to north in the Southern Hemisphere, in which direction will it appear to curve?
3. If freely moving objects are only appearing to curve their paths, why is this important?

Great first harness!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This harness is the first harness i've owned, but compared to others that I have used I couldn't have picked a better beginners harness. Its comfortable, light weight, and easy to climb in. And has lasted every adventure I've needed it for.
Good Beginner Harness
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I bought this for my girlfriend and she doesn't have any major complaints. She says it's comfortable, fits well, and doesn't get in the way. The only issue she's had is some of the seams have popped even though it doesn't get an excessive amount of use. The seams aren't in critical areas though, so overall it's still in good shape. I would recommend this harness to anyone looking to get into the sport that doesn't want to spend too much money.
So far so good
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm unsure how durable it is but it very comfortable for belaying.
I had to return the large and get a smaller size, I have a 33 inch waist and 25 inch legs so I was between sizes, my recommendation would be to order down.
Harness Love!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had this harness for over a year now and I still love it! It's light, easily adjusted, and comfortable! I would recommend this harness for beginner to intermediate climbers , I have used it everywhere from the gym to a 800 ft multi-pitch in Patagonia!
Great for starting out
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm relatively new-ish to climbing, and wanted to upgrade from the rental harnesses at my gym. Buying this one was a great decision - the padding is comfortable without being overkill, the quick-adjust leg loops are awesome, and I can move and hang in it without getting that pinchy leg pain the rentals caused. It felt a bit stiff at first (especially the leg loops), but after some regular wear they softened up and conform to my shape. Breaking it in makes a world of difference.
My one complaint it that it doesn't feel very breathable, but that's not an issue when I'm climbing inside or in cooler weather. I'm considering getting another harness with a different material to take outside when the weather warms back up and I start taking on some more intense projects, but that doesn't detract from how great this one is.
About half the women in my gym have this, and I can see why - it's a great fit, comfortable, and doesn't break the bank.
All Around Great Harness

Good harness for starting out
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've put many routes' time in on this harness. I like it just fine, and found that it fits pretty true to size. I've noticed that my legs start to go numb if I'm resting on the wall for too long. Maybe that's the fault of the leg loop design, or maybe that's gravity's way of telling me to get off take and get up the wall.
Only real complaint is that I don't find this harness as breathable as other harnesses I've climbed with. Nothing worse than climbing in Utah summer sun with a harness that traps sweat and body moisture -_-
Lightweight, comfortable
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I'm just getting back into climbing after a 10 year hiatus and wanted to get a new harness for safety reasons. The BD Primrose Speed Adjust harness has been great! The leg loops really do adjust up and down quickly, which is great for outdoor climbing when you need to account for layers. It's lightweight and super comfortable -- a great value!

The harness barely shows the serious beating it took during the offwidth clinic at the AAC Cragging Classic at the New River Gorge
Little Small BUT In Love...
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought this in xs and it was a tad snug...in fact I couldn't even pull the strap to where each blue thick waist strap was touching each other. I wear a size 0 in pants so I figured the xs would fit but no such luck.
I went to REI to try on the small size and it fit perfectly. So i'll be returning this and getting the size up.
I love the straps all around. They fit snug and give me enough support when I'm climbing that I don't feel like my body is getting strangled :)
Great harness if you're looking for your first one or for a new one! I love it.
Style & Comfort
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The harnesses is cinfortable to climb in. It comes big in size so I had to go a size smaller after bying a medium. It sits high, mostly above my hips not on. I love it and i recommend it especially for beginners!:) lovely color also and it looks great on<3

AWESOME all around choice
This is an absolutely fabulous choice for all around climbing. The fit is very easily customized- and the Speed Adjust leg loops are really that- speedy! Easy to wear over bulky clothes or something slim because you can get that customized fit so quick. The gear loops are sturdy so far, I haven't had any issues hauling gear. I also really like that this model has a haul loop. Overall, the harness is quite comfortable as well- for climbing, belaying, rapping, or just walking around. As far as sizing goes, I am a slim lady- 5'2, 115lbs, I generally wear a 25 in my pants, and the size Small is my jam. Hands down would recommend this harness!
Great all-around harness
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I use this harness for climbing indoors and out, including all-day trad. It's sturdy and comfortable, for belaying, climbing and rapelling.
The gear loops really hold up against all the stuff I carry for trad. I've really put it through the ringer but it's not showing much wear at all (plenty of dirt though).
The only time this harness is uncomfortable is if I have a heavy pack on with it, and it gets pushed down by backpack waist straps into my hips bones. It's a tradeoff for the lighter padding that keeps my waist from getting too hot during summer weather. And the leg loops fit true to size as well, and I've never had a problem with them riding up or otherwise not staying in place.
A word about sizing: this is pretty true to size. I was at the small end of the Small size, which is what I bought, and I have to cinch the waist all the way to get it to fit properly. It would be easier if I had a size down, but this way I can layer up underneath the harness if I'm climbing in chillier weather with a few extra layers.
For ice climbing I have a more specialized (and slightly larger sized) harness; I wouldn't take this out for ice or mixed, but for rock it's a great choice!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
After reading reviews I was debating if this would have plastic pieces on the front... Upon delivery low and behold, it did have plastic adjustment straps...
at first I was kinda pissed off, but then upon further inspection, it seems totally safe (why the hell would BD sell something that wasn't??) as they only adjust elastic WITHIN the webbing of the legloops, so if they ever do break this thing should still do its job.
But thats just my first impression... just something to be aware of... its also super comfortable and I really look forward to using it more!
First Harness & Happy
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I purchased this harness based off of the reviews below and high community rating - I am glad I did. I am 5'4" with a 26" waist, and got a S. I tighten the waist all the way, but do not think I would want the leg loops any smaller. Overall, the harness is super comfortable and I look forward to wearing it in!
Great for the Beginner
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
A cool friend/significant other get you addicted to rock climbing? Tired of those nasty, uncomfortable rental harnesses? Want to take your climbing to the next level? Buy this harness! I have been climbing for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love this harness. I was a total beginner when I started but wanted a harness that was comfortable and safe enough to help me step up my rock climbing skills. This is it! Love it. Inexpensive, functional, comfortable, stylish, has enough gear loops, etc. I am fairly tall, 6'0" to be exact, and I was in between sizes. I am a 29"/30" waist, so I didn't know if I should get the M or L. I got the M and it fits great! The L would have been too big and the S too small for my volleyball-player thighs haha. I synch it all the way in the waist, but I definitely needed the M for the leg loop sizing. Very adjustable to your body! Buy this. You'll be happy you did.

How can I measure for my size? Is there a measuring chart I can use?
Hey fellow Amy!
At the top of the product page, underneath where you can select the different sizes there is a little blue link that says "Size?" Click on that and it will help you out! I own this harness in a medium and I'm about a size 4-6 in pants.

SMALL: Waist: 27-30" Legs: 19-23"

Our daughter (12 years and 68 lbs.) is getting into climbing. Would this be a good fit for her? We'd like to get something that lasts a few years.
this harness should work weel for her needs, trad, sport, or just top-roping this harness excells at it all, I am 14 and 135lbs and the men's verson still fits me (its a small) it should last her awhile
happy climbing!!!!

Hatredcopter, Dethklok. And I'm going to keep on listening to this song until the Shuffle system in WMP stops bringing up Aerosmith's "Angel" next! (This is technically not possible, since Angel is now already queued up next no matter what, so my only choices are to either jump past it, remove it from the playlist, play Hatredcopter forever, or gouge out my ears.
After 3 listens to the Dethklok anthem about their giant evil helicopter, it's that good a tune, I jumped past Angel because it was quickest, and I got Delivering the Goods, Judas Priest, from the Unleashed in the East album, NICE!

The Zoning Ordinance regulates land use and was established to implement the land use element of the comprehensive plan. It provides minimum standards for building setbacks, parking, landscaping, and other related land use issues. The Zoning and Codes Administrator is responsible for the day-to-day administration and enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance.
A copy of the City of Clemson Code of Ordinances, including Chapter 19 - Zoning, is available on The South Carolina Municodes Website. Call staff at 864-653-2050 to learn of any proposed text amendments.

Zoning Map
The Official Zoning Map establishes the boundaries for the various zoning districts located in the City of Clemson. In order to determine the applicable zoning districts for a particular piece of property, please refer to the official zoning map (for latest information contact Zoning and Codes Administrator).
Sign Regulations
Division 3 of the City Zoning Ordinance contains the City Sign Regulations. Sign permits are required prior to the installation of business identification signs, wall mount signs, and certain other types of signage. Permit applications should be submitted with a site plan and signage details, including sign rendering.
Home Occupation Applications
A home occupation (19-302) is a business or hobby conducted by the residents of a home subject to the limitations and conditions outlined in the City Zoning Ordinance. An application for home occupation must be submitted and approved before a business license will be issued.
Zoning Text Amendments
The language of the Zoning Ordinance cannot be changed except by formal amendment by City Council. Persons interested in seeking a change must make a request to the Planning Commission or the City Council for consideration of a change. If either body feels a change may be acceptable, the Planning Division staff will be instructed to prepare a draft amendment for review by the Planning Commission. All amendments require a recommendation from the Planning Commission as to whether it should be adopted. City Council must than hold a public hearing and consider the measure through two readings of the ordinance.
Amendments to the Zoning Map/Rezoning
The Zoning Map is a legal part of the Zoning Ordinance and can only be amended by City Council. Any change to the Zoning Map requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission to City Council. Council must then hold a public hearing before approving the amendment through two readings of the ordinate (Article VIII).

Unnatural Selection by Mara Hvistendahl
Mara Hvistendahl has been a very good friend here at TDV and in addition to Mara's extensive knowledge of Chinese hackers, she is pretty much an expert on Asian regional security concerns. Some people make me so jealous! Mara has just released her new book, Unnatural Selection that deals with the 160 million missing Asian females and population imbalance.
Unnatural Selection is an important book and a fascinating read. Mara Hvistendahl is a delightful writer: witty, engaging, and acute. But the tale she tells is deeply disturbing. Asia alone is missing 160 million women and girls, a number equal to the entire female population of the United States. According to Hvistendahl, the culprit is less deeply rooted cultural gender bias than rising wealth, elite attitudes, and Western influence and technology. Development, at least for the coming decades, will produce not only fewer children overall, but also many fewer girls. The result is a future for many parts of the world, from India to China, Azerbaijan to Albania, where brides are much more likely to be bought, women are much more likely to be trafficked, and men are much more likely to be frustrated. For the present, we must confront the stark reality that the availability of ultrasound and ready abortion are sharply reducing the number of women in the world."
Anne-Marie Slaughter, professor of politics and international affairs, Princeton University

Darrin , Seeing that you are promoting these collars you might want to write Foster and Smith Training people and let them know how incredibly WRONG their advice is on how to start the dog on an ecollar http://ecollar.com/index.php/e-colla...ing-techniques
this is the basics intro.....
"Here's how it works:Place the collar on your dog - you can choose a collar with different stimulation levels or a
vibration collar - and make sure you know how the transmitter works.
Call out the command and if your dog does not respond, correct him by pressing the
transmitter button. Make sure you use the lowest level - your goal is to get the animal's
attention but never hurt the dog. Your dog should associate the stimulation with your voice - he naturally wishes to please
you, so should respond quickly. When he performs the correct behavior, reward him. Your
praise can be a simple pat on the shoulder or chest, verbal praise, or a treat. This will further
reinforce the correct behavior.

My prayer is that my confession matches one for one with the fullness of the Word of God. His wisdom, not my own folly is what we all need. And so here I am sending my thoughts your way. Keep Reading

Not Lords, Stewards
from Burk Parsons Mar 02, 2011 Category: ArticlesThe apostle Paul was neither afflicted with false modesty nor with any sort of apostolic pomposity. He understood his role and his office in the household of God. At times we find him needing to assert his apostolic office to the end that his readers would heed him as they would the Lord. On other occasions we find him passionately putting himself in place. He strove valiantly with the Corinthians to maintain their firm grasp of his apostolicity that they might obey his charge to regard him rightly as a man, a servant, and a steward, and most certainly not a king, a deity, or a little messiah.

5 Things I'm Surprised I Can't Find in the Bible
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Feb 28, 2011 Category: ArticlesGod is all and only wisdom, the very font of all truth. The Bible is His Word, and is true in all that it teaches, as well as sufficient to guide us into every good work. His Word is perspicuous, that is clear, and understandable. Not all of the Bible, however, is as clear as all the rest. These ground rules inform us, broadly speaking, that the Bible tells us everything we need to know, but that it might not all be right out there in the open. He has not only not left us orphans, He has not left us blind. That said, here are five things that are less clear in the Bible than I might, in the abstract, expect them to be. Keep Reading

Makes 15 doughnuts
When my children were small, cider doughnuts were one of the only sweet treats they were allowed. How could I say no to such special yeasted pastries, especially when they were available only briefly in the fall? Now that the children are grown up and connoisseurs of all things sweet, including éclairs, tiramisu, and gelato, they still come running when I make these childhood favorites at home. The recipe is straightforward and relatively simple. Reducing the apple cider before adding it to the dough gives the doughnuts full apple flavor.
Bring the apple cider to a boil in a medium saucepan. Boil until it is reduced to 1⁄4 cup, 7 to 10 minutes. Pour into a glass measuring cup and let cool to room temperature. Combine the flour, yeast, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream together on medium-high speed until well-combined, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice as necessary. Add the egg yolks and beat, scraping down the sides of the bowl once or twice as necessary, until smooth. Add the cooled cider and the buttermilk and beat until combined. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix!
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl or dough-rising container, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature until it is puffy and slightly risen, about 1-1⁄2 hours.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper and sprinkle generously with flour. Turn the dough out onto one of them and sprinkle the top of the dough with flour.
Flatten the dough with your hands until it is about 1⁄2 inch thick, sprinkling on more flour if necessary to prevent sticking. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the dough is slightly hardened, about 20 minutes.
Remove the dough from the freezer and use a 3-inch doughnut cutter to cut as many doughnut shapes as you can. Place the cut doughnuts and the doughnut holes on the second baking sheet. Re-roll and cut the scraps. Refrigerate the cut doughnuts and holes for 20 to 30 minutes.
Add 3 inches of oil to a deep pot. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pot and heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F. Line a large platter or another baking sheet with several layers of paper towels.
Carefully add a few doughnuts to the pot, being careful not to crowd them. Fry until golden brown on one side, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn and continue to fry until golden on both sides, another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain the cooked doughnuts on the paper towels, and repeat with the remaining doughnuts, keeping an eye on the thermometer to make sure the oil stays at a steady 350°F and adjusting the heat as necessary.
Roll the warm doughnuts in cinnamon sugar and serve warm.
For glazed cider doughnuts, whisk together 1⁄2 cup of apple cider with 2 cups of confectioners' sugar until smooth. Place the cooled doughnuts on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and pour the glaze over the doughnuts to coat the tops. Let them stand until the glaze has hardened, about 30 minutes, before serving.

Paczynski earns astronomy award
Posted May 20, 2002; 07:07 p.m.
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific has awarded its annual Catherine Wolfe Bruce Gold Medal to Princeton astrophysicist Bodhan Paczynski .
The society recognized Paczynski for his "revolutionary" work in many areas of astronomy. Early in his career, Paczynski made important contributions to the understanding of the evolution of stars and the interactions of binary stars.
In the 1980s, Paczynski developed influential ideas regarding gravitational lensing, the effect that occurs when the gravity of massive objects bends passing light. Subsequent surveys based on his work have revealed important findings about the structure of our galaxy and continue to aid many other fields of research, including the search for planets outside our solar system.
The society also cited Paczynski for his work in understanding the origin of gamma ray bursts, which are enormous explosions that occur when massive stars collapse into black holes.
Paczynski, the Lyman Spitzer Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics, received his Ph.D. from Warsaw University in Poland and came to Princeton in 1982.
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific is one of the world's oldest astronomy organizations. Previous winners of the Bruce Award include some of Princeton's most distinguished physicists: James Peebles, Lyman Spitzer, Martin Schwarzchild and Henry Russell.

We visited Rome in October. The apartment is bright and very quiet. The room windows open onto a patio. It is absolutely genuine. It is a pleasure to wake up in the morning for a pleasant smell of baked bread (not far from the apartment is a bakery). Very convenient connections to all districts of the city. Owner Claudio is very attentive and pleasant. We will be happy to revisit. Gitana and Laima
We had a great time during our stay at Claudio's apartment. The location is very convenient, you can walk to the colosseum or take a metro, which runs just a few meters from the apartment. Claudio is a very nice person, he welcomed us with many tips about the town (the recommended gelateria and coffee place are really worth a visit). Due to his working hours we saw Claudio only once. We would definitely come back to his place next time we are in Roma.
Claudio has been a perfect host. He helped us with some indication and maps and let us to enjoy the house plently.
The room was as indicated in the pictures; it was clean and confortable.
Everything OK! It is a good option for enjoying some days in Rome.
Claudio is a great host and very friendly and helpful. The room and the bathroom were perfect and clean and we even could use the kitchen for breakfast. A big thanks to Claudio!
The host is very friendly and obliging.
We would recommend the appartment!
We had an awesome time in rome, thanks to you.
It was our first time in Rome and it could not have been any better: nice, clean apartment in the centre and a lot of free space. We had a wonderful welcome with panettone and coffee. Claudio kept his promise: he made our roman stay unforgettable indeed!
Сlaudio is a very kind, sincere, cheerful young man. Met us at home and showed the apartment.he bought coffee with sweets.Room clean, small , but cozy, Thank you Claudio, I hope I will see you again.
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit in Rom. Die Wohnung liegt sehr gut erreichbar in Bahnhofsnähe, das Check-In und auch sonst alles war sehr unkompliziert. Die Metro ist in 5 Minuten erreichbar und selbst das Colosseum kann man fußläufig erreichen. Claudio ist ein sehr freundlicher Gastgeber, so dass wir uns von Anfang an in der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Toll auch, dass wir ein separates Bad zur Verfügung hatten. Alles sehr sauber und ruhig (alle Fenster zum Innenhof). Auf jeden Fall zum Weiterempfehlen! Danke Claudio
Das Zimmer war absolut sauber, genau so das Bad. Alles wie auf den Bildern zu sehen. In den heißen Monaten ersetzt der Ventilator natürlich keine Klimaanlage. Die Lage ist gut, eine Station bis zum HBF und jeweils von dort eine mit jeder Linie und Schon ist man im Zentrum.
Persönlich haben wir Claudio leider nicht kennen gelernt auf Grund seiner Arbeitszeiten. Aber der Kontakt lief gut und jedes Anliegen konnte er völlig zufriedenstellend umsetzen.
Danke nochmal dafür.

One of the ways the Daily Journal is participating in Wednesday's celebration of Earth Day is to publish a special section on environmentally friendly practices.
Articles include ways each of us can incorporate conservation habits in our routines, as well as programs that institutions, businesses and communities have implemented to shoulder their share of environmental responsibility.
Three Rivers Planning and Development District is hosting two hazardous waste collection events, one held Saturday in Oxford and another April 25 in Tupelo.
While some communities have thriving local chapters of Keep America Beautiful, others are in the early stages of implementing beautification and conservation programs.
All of the Northeast Mississippi Keep America Beautiful chapters can use additional volunteers. Check with your area group for Great American Cleanup activities, many of them schedule next weekend and through the end of May.

We who live in smaller communities that have not developed recycling programs face a number of challenges in efforts to dispose of recyclables in a responsible way.
One useful Web site to help you find out where to take your recycling products is www.earth911.com, with its slogan of "Making Every Day Earth Day."
On the site's search engine you can enter absolutely any type of item you'd like to recycle – junk mail, motor oil, old tires, computers, construction materials – along with your zip code, and a listing of locations that would accept your materials is listed. For locations they list places within a 25-mile radius, but they also list locations farther afield.
Since it was founded in 1991 as a recycling hotline, the site has developed a database of more than 100,000 recycling locations across the country.
In addition to providing information about recycling, the site also has useful articles about how to reuse things so they won't need to be disposed of at all.
Every day there are small things we can do to recycle:
n Take your old plastic bags and drop them in Walmart's plastic bag recycling bin. Better yet, acquire reusable bags that you won't need to throw away.
n Take used motor oil to Advance Auto Parts, Tractor Supply or Walmart automotive for recycling.
n Recycle old batteries at Radio Shack, Best Buy, Walmart Supercenter, Firestone and Advance Auto Parts.
In whatever ways you can, let's work with Earth911 to "make every day Earth Day."

Thread: coraline died?
coraline died?
Oops, I originally listed this in the general section in another thread of mine which was labeled lighting, but then thought I post it here.
Hoping someone can tell me what I have done wrong. Since I moved this tank the coraline on the back wall has turned white. Most everything I have read online points to lighting. I have scheduled the blue light on at 11am, blue light off and white light on at 1pm, white light off and blue light on at 9pm and then blue light off at 11pm. Is this wrong? Is this too much, too little? Should I run the blue light the entire time even though the white light is on?
Since moving the tank, it has had to adjust to lfs salt water from the previous owners well/salt mix. There are other things that I've had to get under control since moving. The specific gravity and salinity were high which I have since lowered to appropriate levels. The Ph was off the chart low when I got the tank, but I have been buffering to bring up. All other readings are within appropriate levels. Nitrates are zero. Temp stays steady at 78.
Does anyone have an idea what is going on and if my lighting schedule is correct?Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about learning to dance in the rain.
No need to post the same question twice
I posted my $0.02 in your other thread:

Cilantro Lime Cauliflower "Rice"
Grated cauliflower makes a fantastic low-carb, grain-free stand in for rice when you need a little carb detox. You can season this any way you wish – here I brightened it up with lime and cilantro and served it with a broiled pork loin. It has a couscous-like texture, and is perfect with chicken, pork chops, steak or anything you would normally serve with rice.
Does it taste like cauliflower? Yes, it does so if you're not a cauliflower fan (I love it!) this may not be for you. But if you're a fan like me, you'll love this side dish! And it's also vegetarian, vegan and Paleo-friendly.
Cilantro Lime Cauliflower "Rice"
- 1 medium head (about 24 oz) cauliflower, rinsed
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 scallions, diced
- kosher salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-1/2 limes
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro

Man alive! It's a mess out there!!!
We're all hoping for the best for you guys!!!
Man alive! It's a mess out there!!!
We're all hoping for the best for you guys!!!
Hope all you California folks make it through this all right... good luck!
I have a friend, single mom of a 2 y.o. and 4 golden retrievers that were evacuated at 2:00 am Monday morning. The cops gave them 2 minute to get out and as of right now, she has no idea what's going on with her home...San Diego County is a mess.
My other friends just purchased a home in action and with the wind, the blades of a 50 y.o. windmill broke and was flying around. They were also close to the fire but it turned the other way.
These are very small numbers of what has to be one the state's largest emergency situations. I will be waiting for the Federal Govertments response as to what they will give us to rebuild and take care of those in need. Bush as never been our friend.
On Sunday, I went to West LA to visit my family, and from about 6 miles inland we could see a large cloud of brown smoke blowing south but JUST over the coast, not coming inland, it looked pretty bizarre.
A few mins ago, the sunlight turned more orange, that generally means the air is filling heavily with smoke & ash, since the sun's to the south I'm guessing that is from the San Diego fires which look MUCH worse than ours here in the LA area - half a million evacuees is shocking to hear.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
What's especially frightening and concerning about the SD fires is that a few whole cities have been ordered to evacuate. Hearing that Fallbrook and Ramona were totally evacuated is more than a little sobering.
That's my jacket!
I talked to my buddy who is stationed at Pendleton and he mentioned how they were told not to come into work today and to plan on being evacuated as they were one of the few remaining areas that had people. He said he has no idea where they would go as there are fires all around them and he jokingly said they'd just ship them out to sea.
take care, you kids!
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
I still can't see any smoke from Arrowhead, despite being relatively close. Maybe it's because this damned wind is blowing it away?
Speaking of wind, I was able to survey the yard a little while ago. (Meaning look more closely, not actually do precise measurements and such. ) I couldn't tell from inside, but it's like it snowed about two inches, only it's dirt. I'm not comparing this to losing my house in the fires, but it's still going to be an inconvenience.
That's my jacket!

Gregory Arlt, MAC cosmetics, MAC Marilyn Monroe collection, Marilyn Monroe, Norma Jeane Mortensen, red lips, South Coast Plaza
I confess. I'm a MAC girl. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm famous for my red lips, and MAC has more red lipsticks than I could ever wear! The ones I like the most are "MAC Red" and "Russian Red." I use their fabulous "Cherry" lip pencil to line my lips and finish with a dash of their clear lip gloss (with no scent – hard to find!). At that point, I'm good to go for the day, no matter what happens!
That being said, I was delighted to attend the California launch of the makeup brand's MAC Marilyn Monroe Collection at South Coast Plaza. Photos of the legendary actress lined make-shift walls at Jewel Court, and dozens of MAC makeup artists were ready to apply their skills on the waiting public, as it turned out on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. MAC's Director of Makeup, Gregory Arlt, who is makeup artist to a bevy of stars, was asked to design a makeup collection on the occasion of Monroe's untimely death 50 years ago on August 5, 1962. Addressing members of the media prior to the launch, Arlt said he decided to design three different looks, any of them suitable for the red carpet. He applied makeup to three different models to show the looks.
The first look was what he called "Ingenue," which represented Marilyn when she was Norma Jeane Mortensen, before she became famous. It was a refreshed look, with a pale eye and barely colored lip. Next, was the "Love Goddess" look, which represented the sexy icon in her glory years – the cat eyes, the false eyelashes, the gorgeous red lips. Lastly, Arlt created a Marilyn look as he imagined she would look today if she were living called "Smoking Gray." The eye treatment was not overt and the lip was muted.
You must drop by a MAC counter close to you and check out the latest colors for Fall, whatever look you feel you are. As for me, I'll be trying those new reds Arlt created – "Deeply Adorned," "Pure Zen," "Love Goddess" (actually fuchsia), "Scarlet Ibis," and "Charmed I'm Sure," the one he used on the "Love Goddess" model. Fabulous! I'm hoping to see some more red lips out there. You must join the fun!

STARKVILLE – Moments like this are why Jacob Robson came all the way from Canada to the SEC.
The Mississippi State freshman slapped a game-winning single to center field in the 10th inning to give his team a 5-4 win over Alabama at Dudy Noble Field on Saturday.
That capped a doubleheader sweep for No. 22 MSU (35-13, 12-11 SEC), which took a 10-6 win in the opener.
The series finale is at 1:30 p.m. today.
Robson, a left fielder from Windsor, Ontario, came to the plate with runners at second and third and one out in the 10th. With some of his countrymen waving a Canadian flag just behind the left field fence, Robson delivered the biggest hit of his young career.
He had three hits in the game.
"In those moments, you're not really thinking too much," Robson said. "You know how hard you practice, and I've worked very hard to get to this moment, is for moments like that."
"He wanted that stage, he wanted to be there, and he took a really good swing," head coach John Cohen said.
Sam Frost had four hits, including a bunt single in the 10th, and Hunter Renfroe hit his SEC-leading 15th home run. Chad Girodo (4-1) got the win in relief, but Ben Bracewell did the heavy relief work with 32⁄3 scoreless innings.
Austen Smith's two-out, solo home run to left-center field gave Alabama a 4-3 lead in the sixth.
MSU got a game-tying pinch-hit single from Brett Pirtle in the eighth, with pinch-runner Derrick Armstrong barely beating the tag at home. State took the opener with the aid of a seven-run second inning.
Reliever Ross Mitchell (9-0) got the win, and Jonathan Holder worked the final 22⁄3 innings to record his 13th save, tying the school's single-season record.
Trey Porter had a pair of two-run doubles to spark a 10-hit attack, and Wes Rea hit his fifth home run of the season.

4.12: Origins of Life
What did the first life forms look like?
The first forms of life on Earth were probably smaller and simpler than even these bacteria. The first forms of life had to be simple single-celled organisms. But how did life begin on Earth?
Origin of Life
There is good evidence that life has probably existed on Earth for most of Earth's history. Fossils of blue-green algae found in Australia are the oldest fossils of life forms on Earth. They are at least 3.5 billion years old (Figure below).
Some of the oldest fossils on Earth were found along the coast of Australia, similar to the area shown here.
Life from Random Reactions
How did life begin? In order to answer this question, scientists need to know what kinds of materials were available at that time. We know that the ingredients for life were present at the beginning of Earth's history. Scientists believe early Earth did not contain oxygen gas, but did contain other gases, including:
- Nitrogen.
- Carbon dioxide.
- Carbon monoxide.
- Water vapor.
- Hydrogen sulfide.
Where did these ingredients come from? Some chemicals were in water and volcanic gases (Figure below). Other chemicals would have come from meteorites in space. Energy to drive chemical reactions was provided by volcanic eruptions and lightning. Today, we have evidence that life on Earth came from random reactions between chemical compounds, which formed molecules, or groups of atoms bonded together. These molecules further reacted and eventually formed amino acids (and then proteins), nucleic acids (RNA or DNA), and then cells.
How long did it take to develop the first life forms? As much as 1 billion years. Many scientists still study the origin of the first life forms because there are many questions left unanswered, such as, "Did proteins or nucleic acids develop first?"
Some clues to the origins of life on Earth come from studying the early life forms that developed in hot springs, such as the Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone National Park. This spring is approximately 250 feet deep and 300 feet wide.

BOONEVILLE – Becky Jones, convicted of her mother's murder last week, has been hospitalized and will be released today, a spokesperson for the Department of Corrections said.
The 49-year-old woman was sentenced to life in prison last Friday after a four-day trial in Prentiss County. She was transported to the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Pearl and was "unconscious and unresponsive" when she arrived shortly after 5 p.m. Friday, according to MDOC spokesperson Grace Fisher. Authorities "immediately got her medical attention," Fisher said.
A MDOC photograph taken upon her arrival at the prison shows Jones unconscious.
It was her second trial because the first, last October, ended abruptly when she was discovered unconscious on her Alabama home bathroom floor in the middle of the night.
Last fall, when a mistrial was declared, people close to the case said Jones had attempted suicide several times, including one time when her mother took a gun away from her.
Jones contended, during her trial, that her 38-caliber pistol accidentally went off when she and her mother, Jane Jones, struggled over it.
MDOC had an order, after her sentencing, to take her directly to Central Mississippi Correctional Facility in Pearl.
• Come back for more information, as it is available.

Wineke: The once-mighty are dying
C3K columnist on the Catholic church, the press, and the GOP
I've been looking back over the columns I've written recently and one thing they seem to have in common is that they are obituaries for institutions which once were mighty.
And I'm beginning to wonder if we might not be in a stage in world history where our institutions no longer meet the needs they once met and are in the process of being replaced – we hope – with something better.
This week, for example, the Roman Catholic Church is in the process of finding a new pope and my guess is that, while you might find the story interesting, you don't really care.
That's because the church really doesn't have much authority anymore. The press dutifully records the edicts from on high – but the people don't pay much attention.
The church is dying. The Archdiocese of Milwaukee says it may run out of operating funds in April. Its former leader, Cardinal Terrance Dolan, now archbishop of New York and one of those mentioned as a possible pope, had to come back to Wisconsin recently to explain to legal authorities why he transferred tens of millions of dollars to a cemetery fund so that victims of clergy sex abuse can't lay claim to the money.
Among those victims are deaf men who are former students at a Catholic school for the deaf and were systematically abused. Reports of that victimization ended up on the desk of one Cardinal Ratzinger who later became Pope Benedict XVI.
Benedict is retired; a group of about 100 elderly cardinals are meeting to find a replacement for him, but one of their number, the leading prelate of Great Britain, admitted Sunday that he has, in fact, had inappropriate sexual relationships. Meanwhile, the former archbishop of Los Angeles, who did not have inappropriate relationships himself but did cover up crimes committed by others, will be at the Conclave. He says the Vatican ordered him to attend.
The church is dying. So is the Republican Party.
The Republican Party is the party of Abraham Lincoln. Over a century and a half it has been a voice for traditional values but, also, for freedom and equality. It no longer has anything to say.
The Republicans managed to delay the confirmation of Chuck Hagel as Secretary of Defense for weeks by lying about his character, even though they knew he would be confirmed. When he was confirmed, leading Republicans gloated that they at least managed to weaken him. We now have a situation where leaders of one of the nation's two great political parties being cheered at the "victory" of undermining the moral authority of the leader of the nation's armed forces.
Bring it home? Scott Walker and Ron Johnson are considered serious forces within the GOP.
Can you think of one thing that unites Republicans besides a visceral hatred of President Obama?
The party is dying. So is the press.
The national press has long defined itself as the "fourth branch of government." No one pays much attention these days. The newspapers have lost their readers. The cable news outlet hosts fill their days interviewing one another. Robert Woodward, a reporter so titanic that he faced down Richard Nixon, says he is intimidated because a White House official suggested he might "regret" suggesting President Obama "moved the goal posts" in terms of a budget sequester.
Those are three big institutions and none of them carries much moral authority anymore. They are dying. I could go on and on. I'm not so sure our other institutions are really all that healthy, either.
What I do know is that when an institution can no longer meet the needs of its society, its days are numbered. And that's probably a good thing because society really needs institutions that will be relevant to tomorrow.

From my conversation with Jeremy I do not think there is any quit in him. In fact he may be more motivated to train than ever. As for the hop-scotch, I counseled him to read everything he could get his hands on and take it all with a grain of salt. And telling a new retriever person to just read their dog, is like handing a kindergartener a big ol' Webster's complete unabridged when they ask the meaning of a word.
A person is not quitting when they evolve into training in a different way. An all-positive, lovie, smoochie, click-click trainer is not quitting when they get their first heeling stick and prong collar.
A Richard Wolters book series fan is not quitting when they start to use some of the more modern books and video.
A Dodge Truck person is not quitting driving trucks when they finally get their first Ford or Chevy!
This pup needs obedience. This pup was not ready to learn the task at hand. When you have a bouncy bouncy tigger of a dog and you as a new person do not have the rope skill that some do. You are going to get a situation.

He added, "What he really needs is a job."

Wrist-top GPS, altimeter, compass, clock, & more
Built-in altimeter and barometer with memory
Water-resistant up to 330 feet
Track Back mode guides you back the way you came
Includes Trek Manager PC software
Small and lightweight, the Suunto X10 wrist-top computer watch combines an altimeter, barometer, compass, and GPS navigator, making it a terrific companion for outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. The X10-which builds on Suunto's decade of experience in creating cutting-edge outdoor devices-stands above most other wrist-top computers thanks to its improved, faster GPS fixes. Even under heavy foliage, you can use the X10 to plot your treks, navigate to a certain spot, or get back to your car, all while keeping your hands free to hold a hiking stick or water bottle. Once back at home, you can share your treks on Google Earth, or use the Suunto Trek Manager PC software to create new routes and plan new journeys.
The X10 also includes a built-in altimeter, accurate to within 30,000 feet, which displays your current altitude and your vertical ascent and descent rate. The X10 also captures all your altitude information in its integrated logbook, making it easy to analyze your performance when creating a training routine.
The X10's barometer measures and records air pressure to help you predict changing conditions-from sunny skies to hair-bending electrical storms. Even at home, the X10's barometer can look beyond office walls, skyscrapers, and nearby hills to help you plan for upcoming activities.
No outdoor watch is worth its salt without a digital compass, a great tool for keeping track of your direction while skiing, hiking, or exploring a new city. Simply point the top of the watch toward your intended destination and lock it in. Other features include an Activity Mode that records your speed, distance, and altitude information, along with any memory points you define along the way; a Track Back mode that guides you back the same way you came; a long-lasting battery; up to 50 routes, 25 tracks, and 500 waypoints; water-resistance up to 330 feet; and all the standard watch functions, including a 12/24-hour display, a stopwatch, a calendar clock, and three daily alarms. As with all Suunto wrist-top computers, the X10 carries a two-year warranty.
