Awesome ABC watch with Depth Profile
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had my Suunto Core Lava Red since 2012, and it has since been my everyday and bike watch. A week ago it died on me, maybe due to abuse, and salt water damage that seeped through the bezel, so maybe it's fitting give it a nice review here.
First few weeks of having it I had a nasty bike crash that left deep scratches on the bezel, but aside from that, the watch wasn't seriously damaged. The strap eventually went away after a year so I got a zulu 5 ring strap off ebay to replace it. The typical mode button problem of the Cores then happened but was fixed. No issues the sensors and software whatsoever, but after battery changes the barometer and thermometer readings would be way off for a day or so. It's one tough timepiece. The battery normally lasts around a year, but tends to be shorter if the storm alarm is always going off, esp during typhoon season.
I haven't seen reviews with the depth profile here and although the specs say it has up to 30m of depth measurement, the max depth only records from to 10-12m. It's not a dedicated diving watch, but it's cool to have the feature for snorkeling and skindiving. So maybe we can call it a ABCD watch.
Doesn't last the test of time
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've been fortunate to have my Core last for a few years before it totally took a dump. First the bezel, then the altimeter, then the thermometer and finally the strap. I know other people that are on their second or third Core after only a few years. It's a great watch, but hardly worth spending a few hundred dollars every couple of years to have a functional piece of equipment.

Love this watch. I've taken it across several continents. I've taken it backpacking, hiking, climbing, kayaking, mountain biking, you name it. It's been underwater and over 5600m (18,000ft).
I highly recommend purchasing the color with a dark on light display since you'll be able to more clearly read the numbers in harsh daylight (a common complaint I hear from people with any of the other colors).
The altimeter is pretty darn accurate: holding within 10-20m of GPS after a full day of hiking or climbing. Even at high altitudes it seems to hold pretty well (barring a storm that'll require a recalibration). This is a barometric altimeter so obviously if there's a massive change in pressure you'll need to recalibrate. No way around it. The benefit of a barometric altimeter is it uses way less battery than a GPS watch and it tends to work in all conditions. Plus it tends to be more granular.
The thermometer is a joke. You can't really get an accurate thermometer in a watch like this since it'll be warmed by your hand.
super bien!
really happy, great deal!
pitty it does not record temp changes though
Great product, terrible customer service

I bought this watch about a year ago, and it's been great. Ultimate Black is style-ish, and the watch does the things it's supposed to do pretty well. However, dealing with Suunto for what should be a quick warranty fix has been a nightmare. Two of the faceplate screws loosened and fell out, so I contacted Suunto to see what could be done. First they would not let me ship directly to them, they suggested that I drive 4 hours to the "nearest retail location" which was certainly not the nearest retail location on their website. Once I walked 10 blocks to the actual closest retail location, the shop happily accepted the warranty repair and shipped it to Suunto. Suunto shipped the product back with four new screws and said "do it yourself, your warranty is void if we put in the screws for you". What kind of company says this? Is this any way to stand behind your product? Furthermore, the screws are a very small torx wrench which I don't have handy, so I needed to go buy one of these, too. Oh, and the screws they sent me - stripped bare, so I bought new screws from the hardware store too. Genius. The Core is the standard altimeter watch here in our little mountain town, but the service from Suunto was absolutely abysmal. Buyer beware.
Suunto Quality

Like most Suunto products, this watch works and functions great. I don't have any huge complaints, other than what a few other people have pointed out: Smart Phones and accessories can do most of what these watches can, thus eliminating the necessity of such a watch... That being said, it does a great job at what it does and the Battery Life is there for the few of us that can't get by on the short-life of our phones and accessories.
Don't like it.
Too hard to read in low light times such as dawn/dusk.
The bearing/marking feature on the compass is not very helpful.
The major functions of each mode are easy to see, but the sub-functions (i.e. stop-watch, or some of the log features) are displayed too small to read especially when moving.
Awesome, but play the balance game.

Suunto is awesome. I love their stuff. I've had several of their watches and I have taken them from South Africa to Alaska.
Here is the problem with Suunto watches today. There are so many smart watches available that you can install an 'app' to do everything the Suunto does eg Apple Watch etc...
So where is the Suunto watch useful today? Well if you are a heavy duty backpacker, pushing 7-10 days of hiking, get a Suunto. If you are a weekend warrior pushing out 8 hour hikes on Saturday, then stick with your smart phone accessory.
Specifically the Core is awesome because it is the barebone, essential Suunto watch. It gives you want you the stats you want in accomplishing your latest alpine adventure. That being said, I know of several purists who avoid the digital watch solution, and instead stick with more fine tuned instruments to accompany their adventure. A simple chronographic watch can help you find North just as easily as a Suunto watch. Altitude, temp, pressure etc can be better tuned with individual instruments. But if you're looking for general neighborhood stats, this is good for that.
Overall though I like this watch, I like the aesthetic, and I always smile when I see a stranger repping good gear.
Awesome Essential
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I loved the Suunto Core from the get-go for all my backcountry outings. Quickly however, I started wearing it all the time. It's got everything I could ask for in a watch to take mountaineering, backpacking, and ski touring, but looks nice enough to wear out anywhere. Aside from the great functions of the altimeter, compass, and thermometer; the Barometer is huge plus for me. When you are in any terrain with a possible chance of a storm, it's great to be able to monitor the barometer(or set the storm warning alarm) to time your descents and/or escapes to shelter! When wearing it on your wrist, it isn't gathering the accurate ambient temperature due to your body heat. If temperature is a key piece of info for you then it's best to keep it in the brain or pocket of your pack to get it more accurate to the outside temp. I don't expect this watch to give up anytime soon whatsoever, but when it does, I am immediately buying another Suunto.
Also: just a shout out to the Suunto customer service, the first one I got had software issues with the altimeter and temperature after a couple trips to altitude, and they replaced it immediately! Thanks Suunto!

Workhorse - Ultimate Black
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
A great watch that truly is a workhorse of a product. It's not the flashy watch, but it's the one I reach for when I head into the back country. Alarm is a perfect volume for those alpine starts, and I haven't had any issues with getting it set. One downside is the contrast is a little weak. Even making adjustments, I feel it can be hard to read in less than ideal lighting conditions. Overall, a great watch for those headed to play that just need a product to work while still looking pretty awesome.
Fantastic altimeter for the alpine

I bought this altimeter for a long-distance thru-hike and used it every day for five months. It was reliable, easy to use, and would recommend it to everyone. I found I only needed to calibrate it every once and a while, but that was after substantial elevation change. Just be careful not to scratch large glass face.

Need help- Suunto Core question
The Core has been a great watch for me. I have had it for close to 6 months. (Purchased from BC.com)
Please see photo. I suddenly got lines on my screen. Is this a battery issue or is screen going out on me?
Thank you in advance
Hey Dayne, best bet is to check directly with Suunto, perhaps they can help you troubleshoot.

It's still going strong, I wear this anytime I'm doing an outdoor activity. Took it snorkeling, mtbing, hiking, kayaking, swimming, and just about everywhere else. So far so good! Only issues is it seems the altimeter gets off and needs to be reprogrammed every so often.Battery has also lasted longer than I expected but when the time comes it will be super easy to switch out.

This is my first experience with Suunto. The watch is full of features, few of which I actually use. There is a convenient "lock" function which prevents you from inadvertently switching modes. The paint began to flake from the face almost immediately. More recently, the strap retainer and strap itself have broken and need to be replaced.
Suunto and salmon fly time!

What elevation range does this watch work for?
I'm very interested in purchasing the core, my struggle is picking between the all black and the ultimate black. Besides looks is there any differences between the two?
Hi Scott,
Functionally speaking those watches are going to be the same. Only the appearance is going to be different.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi, is that possible to switch from ft to meters? On the screen.
Yes. it will do metric or standard (feet/meters, *f/*C, etc.). It's an option in the menu setting. You can also do 12/24 hrs clock.
Press and hold Mode button (middle right).
Scroll down using -/light button to "Units"
Is there a difference in features between the discontinued colors models and the newer models?
Hey There,
The only difference between the disc. model and this years is cosmetic. The functionality and features remained the same. If you have any other questions about this watch or other gear please give me a call at 1-800-409-4502 ext 4446 or email at email@example.com

I'm looking to use this watch for backcountry skiing and summer backpacking. What is the difference between the core and the spartan? Any pros/cons of either?
Core Vs Ambit2 : For $300 less one could...
Core Vs Ambit2 : For $300 less one could purchase the Core. Is there any defining factor that would push one to buy the Ambit (Ambit2 Sapphire) over the Core?
Yup: the Ambit is a GPS watch, but the Core isn't. That's the "big" difference between the two.
The big difference between these two watches is the GPS, but that GPS does quite a lot for you. Suunto bills the Core as being for "explorers" while the Ambit 2 is for "athletes and explorers." The GPS on the Ambit 2 gives you a more precise altimeter by combining readings from GPS and barometric pressure. The GPS further enables you to track your ground speed, minutes per mile, and with the new upgrade that was just released, cadence as well. The Ambit 2 also has the option of pairing with a variety of accessories including a heart rate monitor. Also, while both watches are very well constructed, I think the Ambit 2 is the more durable, especially in the sapphire edition.
My advice is to really examine what you intend to use this watch for. If you are looking for a solid ABC watch for backcountry use, the Suunto Core will get everything you need. But if you want a watch that can also track and chart you training over time as you prepare for you next triathlon or ultra, then I think the Ambit 2 is worth the extra money.

NOT LONG ENOUGH! But at least you can change the battery yourself

Face size medium... This means what exactly? I'm a female mountaineer in desperate need of a reliable altimeter watch. I've been told for durability, Suunto is the only way to go. But I'm struggling with face sizes being far too big for my small wrist.
Any specs on the overall weight and diameter of the face? Also the "rise/height" of the face off the wrist (it does have to fit my jacket and gloves too...)
Here are some measurements that should help out:
Case Height: 50 mm
Case Width: 50 mm

So, I've had this (Glacier Gray if it matters) for a month and for the most part love it. Tracking vert, a back-up compass, altimeter is pretty damn sweet. I realize that you have to reset the reference from time-to-time but had a pretty big curve ball thrown at me. Did a 6100', starting around 1400'. Check the ascent/descent and somehow it gained 10600' and did a descent of 9700'. How is this possible? I wonder if I got a dud or I missed something in the thousand page booklet. Baffled and frustrated that this happened after dropping three bills.
I presume you calibrated to a known altitude, it sounds like you did, since you knew your beginning altitude. Even having a barometer lock, a sudden weather change (sudden and sharp drop in barometric pressure) will still affect the altimeter, as it is solely based on a calculation based on pressure. If there was a weather change, that could explain your drastic variance. Don't be too bummed on one occasion of the Core having an accuracy hiccup. Mine has them every now and then, but overall is still one of my favorites.
It would be my fave if Suunto hadn't discontinued the brown face! You hear that Suunto!?

What is the difference and/or logic behind the all black face and just the regular looking gray face?

How waterproof is it? I read on the Suunto website that it's good for 10m and that seems pretty shallow for such a high tech watch. Does anyone know?
Yes it waterproof for down to 10m. for it is not for diveing it is for climbing
It is water resitant to 100 feet....30 meters
30M is the nominal rating Suunto gives the Core. The depth gauge on the watch goes to 15m, however, so shallow dives will be about the limit for the Core. More than that, and you should look at the Suunto D series Dive Computers. If you're concerned about the all around water resistance, it'll shrug off just about anything short of deepwater dives.

How many alarms can you set with this? For example, I'd like to set a wake-up time, turn-around time, etc.

Hope this was helpful :D
I believe you can set 2 alarms for this.

Would I be correct in assuming that with digital (ie. watch based) compasses, they will work globally? I would guess that w/o a physical needle, there's nothing to get hung up if you travel to a different compass zone?
Analog compasses work worldwide. The needle always points north. You just have to adjust declination to maintain accuracy.
The Core requires the same procedure when you travel. It won't be accurate unless you set the declination.
Actually most analog compasses don't function worldwide. There are 5 different "Compass Zones" along the longitude lines of the Earth. Due to the "dip" of the needle in relation to equatorial proximity, a North America compass will not function in South America or vice-versa. The exception is "Global" Compasses such as the two offered by Suunto which rely on a special axis rather than a weighted needle, hence the higher cost justification for a "Global Compass".
So the question remains: Due to the digital nature of a watch based compass, ie. no weighted needle or balanced axis, will they work in any zone?
Does this Suunto have a ambient air temp...
Does this Suunto have a ambient air temp function? Is it very accurate or does body heat effect the temp? Thanks...
Body heat does affect it Barry, as it does with all alti/baro/comp (ABC) watches. After all, 98.6F is pretty hot. The procedure for ambient air temp is to remove the watch and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. Depending on the temp and weather around you, it might be as fast as five minutes or so. The Core is very accurate, in all of its functions, and is one of my favorites. Just bought a new strap for it as well:
I've been trying to find that same watch band for some time on the internet. I love the tan w/black stitching look. Could you tell me what brand it is? Hopefully you get this, as I couldn't find a way to message you on this website.
You'd have to ask a question John, or I'd have to vanity search, like I'm doing now, haha. The band is a PVD Aviator from Panatime.com: http://www.panatime.com/24mbpvdpi.html Mine is the Dark Brown.
Yes....body heat does effect the tempeture. to get an accurate reading take the watch off and set in a neuatral temp zone.

Actually you'd be surprised at how many of us keep low Tier tanks for joyrides. :P Yeah, we can platoon. Drop any of us a lone when you log on.
Oh, and Tiers 1-3 is pretty much the goofing off phase of the experience grind. Once you hit Tier 4, you'll probably start hating the Matchmaker with the fury of a thousand suns, especially if your tank just happens to have the scout modifier that forces you into battles as high as FOUR tiers above your level (*coughs* Pz38na *coughs*).
Tier 5 is generally okay though.

Okay, the Ram II is .. very odd. I'm not sure if it's a good tank or not, but the rate of fire is hilarious. Standing there firing at an insanely rapid rate seems to mess people's aim up pretty bad.. That said, it has awful penetration. I've bounced a perfect 90 degree shot on other Tier 5's and 6's ..
So, here's the bragshots:

I've been in matches with the Ram II where the highest tier tank was 7, but maybe only 1/5th of the time or so? The problem with the Ram II is the low alpha and low penetration .. you can face enemy Tier 5's and fail to pen them from the side at times .. so it can get frustrating.. Let alone if you run into something like a VK3601H or similarly armored..
Oh, and the reason I made so much cash on that match is because of "Operation: Top Gun" I got an extra 20K credits for getting top gun ..

The Golden Soviet Churchill has been amusing to drive thus far, as none of my other play styles really work with it, since it's huge, slow, unwieldy, and has a gun with a high ROF, average accuracy, and low damage. And it can get utterly crushed against Tier 6, but at least the matchmaking prevents it from seeing worse.
So... I figured out what to do with my spare, highly-trained Pz38t crew, now that I have both a Leopard and a T-15, and I didn't feel like just training them in the T-15 or breaking into the wonderfully-annoying world of SPGs. I dipped into the gold reserve one final time and got them a Pz-S35-739f. In the first game (Campingnovka, of course), I earned a 2nd Class mastery badge, Sharpshooter, Master Gunner, and four kills.
This was against Tier II and III. I expect this thing to be utterly trashed against IV and V, but it's such a weird little tank to play.

There was this one game in Malinovka where I started on the side without the buildings, and drove into the line of bushes somewhere in the middle of the field like I always do to spot for my team. At one point, an enemy drove out and into the line of bushes as well, about 50m away from me, and never saw me.
I think that's a good benchmark to go by.

The next Churchill up does all that even better. :P The only real downside I have with the Church line is that they're very slow and have a lot of length. They're also extremely easy to track. With the higher Church you can end up in matches with the highest tiers and be largely useless, but I've had my moments of glory dealing with IX and X tier tanks.
For matchmaking, in my experience, the Churchills gravitate towards the top of the list. Not at all like my AMX 13 75 which is almost exclusively at the bottom of the list.

If you can take full advantage of the Churchill VII's thick armor and resign yourself to the fact that you're gonna be slow as molasses, then it's a very good tank for pushing a breakthrough with your armor, or, when in high-tier battles, as a second-line support unit using the fast-firing 76mm to ping enemy weakspots and track them. Also, abusing your tracks' ability to take damage to complement your armor. I've had more Steel Walls with my Churchill VII than with any other tank save the T29. The Churchill VII's slowness also helps it in a way most people don't really realize: since you get to the front line later, most enemies already have other tanks in their sights, so you can have the pick of the litter of distracted enemies to kill (this is true of many slow tanks).
I've heard sidescraping works well for the Churchills, though I'm not well-practiced on that maneuver.

"It's a trap!"
The Venus Flytrap (Dionaea itchybum) is a carnivorous plant found both in the canyons and low wetlands of Mars and in the meteorite-spotted Carolina Bays or North America. The Venus Flytrap is so named because it actually originated on the planet Venus, and was carried to Earth on a meteorite approximately 500,000 years ago during the last Venusian crustal upheaval.
Studies by the University of Studies that Mean Nothing have conclusively proven that the Venus Fly Trap is unrelated genetically to all other plant species on the planet, although it is sometimes grouped with other carnivorous plants to keep the books tidy.
The Venus Flytrap is a large man eating monster. Each leaf reaches a maximum size of about three to seven meters, depending on the time of year; longer leaves with robust traps are generally formed after swallowing someone. Flytraps that appear to have more than 10 leaves are generally colonies, formed by by aliens underneath the ground. The common name "Flytrap" actually has nothing to do with the plant's prey, but rather one of the plant's more ingenious adaptations. Venus Flytraps are able to fly by manipulating the earth's gravitational field. After careful study, it was found that flytraps extract iron from haemoglobin, which their symbiotic aliens then magnetize. The iron is then stored in their teeth to provide both structural rigidity and the mechanism of flight. Venus flytraps can fly faster than the speed of sound. Hence, many inexplicable airplane crashes can be explained by hungry Venus Flytraps.
The leaf blade is divided into two regions: a flat, man eating part and a pair of terminal lobes, designed to release acids to digest human flesh. The upper surface of these lobes contains red bits and its edges secrete acids and feces. The lobes exhibit rapid movements, snapping shut when stimulated by flailing humans. The trapping mechanism is so specialized that it can distinguish between living humans and dead humans. This is because morgue owners in the 1800's used them to dispose of bodies as this was cheaper than cremation. Some third world nations still use Venus flytraps instead of cremation even to this day.
If the human is too small (babies are particularly bad for this) and escapes, the trap will reopen within 12 hours. If the prey moves around in the trap, it tightens and digestion begins more quickly. However, the flytrap never closes all the way, so that the victims inside will be able to have a steady amount of air, so that the trap can savor every feeling of fear that the victim has, since the trap has no emotions of its own, and longs for them.
Speed of closing can vary depending on the amount of meat and size the prey is. The speed with which traps close can be used as an indicator of a plant's general evilness. Venus Flytraps are not as humidity dependent as are some other mass killers such as that terror-war waging president and that Saddam bloke. Venus flytraps dislike music and if they hear the sound of it, will not be able to stop dancing until they self destruct.
Mechanism of trappingEdit
The mechanism by which the trap snaps shut involves some big ass muscles, steriod abuse and generally massive ass chompers. If the human is unable to escape, it is unwise to stimulate the inner surface of the lobes as they get off on it and will start squirting liquids at you ... ick, gross! This causes a further growth response that forces the edges of the lobes together, eventually sealing the trap hermetically and digesting you into a pussy liquid ready for excretion. The trap then reopens, and is ready for killing again. Traps rarely catch more than fifty humans in their lifetime.
On Earth, the Venus Flytrap is found in office buildings, schools and shopping malls but normally are found flying above the Amazon rainforest. They are rarely found in kindergarten or other places where small humans hang out as they aren't worth eating - not enough meat yet, unless the por children are a little too tubby. Generally, Earth is a very suitable habitat for flytraps.
On their home planet, venus flytraps emit the toxic gases that cause the rampant greenhouse effect and other hazardous conditions on Venus. Since there are no humans on Venus, the plants float in the planet's upper atmosphere in order to photosynthesize and obtain raw materials for carbohydrates, so that they may build their ships and retrieve their fellow traps that are trapped on Earth. Young flytraps must use their leaves like wings, flapping to stay aloft until they get enough iron. They have special bladders for harboring their alien symbionts. The aliens filter mineral-rich dust out of the air. The plants also use the aliens for nutrient storage; when times are tough, Venus flytraps will digest some of them. There are fewer venus flytraps in their natural environment than on Earth because of giant killer Venusian aphids and mealybugs that prey on them.
Venus Flytraps are very popular as cultivated plants and are often used for catching burglers and other unwanted people on your property. They are difficult to grow as they often eat their owners.
If for some reason a grower wishes to feed a flytrap, live humans longer than 1 m tall should be used. Healthy Venus flytraps will produce white flowers sometimes, however, many growers remove the flowering stem just to be a prick.
Diet Edit
Venus Flytraps gain a significant portion of their nutritional needs by trapping and ingesting humans, Skittles, your mom, and kittens. Some have even been known to swallow cows, horses and small automobiles. Unwary prey is attracted to the plant's wonderful aroma, which smells a bit like cinnamon raisin swirls. When they touch the plant, tiny hairs trigger electrical impulses which close the plant's powerful "jaws" around the victim. Studies have shown that it can take a Venus Fly Trap up to six years to completely digest a kitten, during which time the kitten grows into a somewhat angry cat. The long digestion period for kittens is believed to be due to the number of fur balls the Venus Flytrap needs to cough up. Humans and other noxious animals however usually digest within 2-3 weeks. They like to eat people that look like James May,the first ever person to be eaten by one was in 1066 he was called William the conqueror.
Super TrapsEdit
Larger variations of the Venus Fly Trap have been known to ingest entire villages of South Carolinians, thus increasing job openings in the area by as much as 75 percent. This was accurately portrayed in the documentary Little Shop of Horrors.

Artist Statement
"Wilderness to me is a spiritual necessity. When my son was killed by a drunk driver, it was to the wilderness that I fled in hope of regaining my serenity and equilibrium. The mysterious spiritual experience of being close to nature helped to restore my soul. It was during that time, I discovered the intimate beauty of Florida. My experience reinforced my sense of dedication to use my art form of photography as an inspiration for others to work together to save places of spiritual sanctuary for future generations."

World's most vulnerable people must not be forgotten as climate negotiations come to a close
Oxfam Executive Director Helen Szoke said: "Climate funding, urgent emissions reductions and loss and damage must not be the casualties in the eleventh hour.
As negotiators close in on a climate deal, some wins and some losses
In reaction to another draft of the climate change agreement unveiled on Thursday night in Paris, Oxfam Executive Director Helen Szoke said:
No movement on key issues in new Paris text - this is crunch time at COP21
"There is still a long way to go: this is crunch time. The chance to set new funding targets from when the Paris deal comes into force in 2020 is still very much on the table and needs to stay there if developing countries are to have any hope of more support in the years ahead."
Hours before the release of a new draft of the Paris agreement, signs look grim
The situation looks grim as Oxfam awaits the release of a revised and likely second-to-last draft of a global climate change agreement, expected to be released on Wednesday afternoon. Our experts are concerned that negotiators might be settling for the lowest common denominator in several critical areas.
EU ministers miss opportunity to send strong signal on FTT to COP in Paris
EU finance ministers still cannot agree on decisive elements of a European Financial Transaction Tax - a missed chance for a strong signal to the climate summit in Paris.
Tax reform is key alongside MNC probes, says Oxfam, as Brussels investigates McDonald's
Oxfam welcomes the investigation of tax deals major companies strike with EU member states, but tax reform is key to end harmful and unfair tax practices.

EU budget 2016: EU boosts funds for refugee crisis and development to historic high – good move, say ONE and Oxfam
ONE and Oxfam welcome that the highest amount of funding ever has been allocated to refugees and development programs in the European Union's 2016 budget.
European Parliament takes important step to end tax dodging
With the adoption of the TAXE report, the European Parliament voted in favor of specific recommendations aimed at stopping corporate tax avoidance across the European Union.
European border restrictions leave thousands stranded
As a number of European countries are refusing entry to refugees and migrants of certain nationalities, Oxfam is concerned that this will leave thousands of people stranded and their future uncertain.

Thinking of getting married sometime soon?
Then I love the idea of a beach wedding - simple and relaxed surrounded by beach, ocean, friends and loved ones. I got married on Cable Beach in Broome but if you feeling a little more adventurous why not consider the Caribbean! J.Crew choose the gorgeous island of St Lucia for their Spring wedding shoot and it's just stunning. Such a dreamy location guarantees a perfect wedding! My pick of these pretty colour palettes is the aqua and mint shades - the perfect compliment to the tropical water.

Detectives said they believe Lisa Marie Leaver-Pate and Justin Adams had an "ongoing personal relationship."
Police said they seized her cellphone records and also asked Yahoo to hand over emails from Justin Adams' email account.
Officers said they believe there may be evidence linked to Jaymie Adams' death in those emails.
Justin Adams is charged with the slaying of his wife and her unborn baby.

By Scott Malone
BOSTON (Reuters) - Voters in Boston head to the polls on Tuesday to choose among a dozen candidates for mayor in a preliminary round of voting in the city's most wide-open mayoral election in decades.
Recent polls have shown City Councilor John Connolly, the one candidate to enter the race before Mayor Thomas Menino said he would not seek an unprecedented sixth term in office, with a narrow lead.
Several other candidates were well within striking range, with county District Attorney Daniel Conley and state Representative Martin Walsh close behind. Another state Representative, Charlotte Golar Richie, who would be the city's first black and first female mayor, rounded out the top four.
The large field also includes city councilors Felix Arroyo, Robert Consalvo, Michael Ross and Charles Yancey, former school committee member John Barros, former police officer Charles Clemons, and community organizer Bill Walczak. Former teacher David James Wyatt is the race's one Republican.
With such a large field of contenders, observers said turnout will be key in the nonpartisan preliminary election. The top two vote-getters, regardless of party, will face off in the November general election.
"They are all trying to hold their own," said John Berg, professor of government at Suffolk University in Boston. "If it were more of a spread, John Connolly might be tempted to rest on his laurels, but it's so close that he's going to be nervous too."
A Boston Herald/Suffolk University poll last week showed Connolly with the support of 16 percent of likely voters, a 4 point lead on his nearest rivals.
Liberal-leaning Boston has not elected a Republican mayor since 1926.
The Secretary of the Commonwealth's office, which oversees elections in Massachusetts, forecast that more than 100,000 voters would turn out for the preliminary poll, well over the roughly 82,000 people who voted in the preliminary election four years ago.
With such a large number of candidates, none of whom have a dominating position, Tuesday's result might come down to what campaign is most effective in getting its voters to the polls, said John Berg, a professor of government at Suffolk University in Boston.
Menino, the city's longest-serving mayor, took office in 1993, when his predecessor Raymond Flynn resigned to become U.S. ambassador to the Vatican. His impending departure has already begun to have consequences. On Monday, Police Commissioner Ed Davis, who earned praise for his calm and effective work after the April Boston Marathon bombing, said he would retire from his position to clear the way for Menino's predecessor to pick his or her own police chief.
Boston mayors do not face term limits and are rarely defeated in re-election campaigns.

Having Saturday Night Genealogy Fun!
Randy Seaver, of Geneamusings.com, has provided the following mission for this week's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun:
1) We're going to do a little bit of Semi-Random Research tonight ... what is your first name? [This is the easy part!]
2) Go to your family tree database of choice (you know, like RootsMagic, Reunion, Ancestry Member Tree), and determine who the first person in your alphabetical name index is with a surname starting with the first two letters of your first name (e.g., my first name is RAndall, so I'm looking for the first person with a surname starting with RA). [If there are no surnames with those two letters, take the surname after that letter combination.]
3) What do you know about this person based on your research? It's OK to do more if you need to - in fact, it's encouraged!
4) How are you related to this person, and why is s/he in your family tree?
5) Tell us about it in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook Status post or Google+ Stream post.
Here is mine:
1) My first name is DEborah.
2) The first person in my database with a surname starting with DE is Adelia Jane Dean.
3) Adelia was born June 2, 1890 in Clinton, Kansas. Her parents were Wallace and Anna Patton Dean. She married Edwin Clark Riggs somwhere between 1920 and 1925. This I deduced from census record information.
I checked the 1900 United States Federal Census record in the Ancestry database. The Dean family is residing in Clinton, Douglas County, Kansas. Wallace Dean lists himself as a farmer. Adelia was the second of five children, having three sisters and one brother. Her date of birth is June 1890. Both parents claim Ohio as their state of birth. On this census Adelia is nine years of age and attending school.
By the 1910 United States Federal Census Adelia's mother is listed as a widow. The family still resides in Clinton, Douglas County, Kansas. Anna's father, (Adelia's grandfather) Richard L. Patton lives with the family. Adelia's occupation is listed as school teacher.
On the 1920 United States Federal Census record Adelia resides in Palmyra, Douglas, Kansas. She is a boarder in the home of Fred M. and Elsie I. Woods. Mr. Woods is listed as a farmer. Adelia's occupation is that of a grade school teacher.
In 1925 Adelia is using her middle name of Jane. She is now married to E.C. Riggs. The details from the Kansas State Census Collection has them residing in Mission, Kansas. Adelia is not employed, but E.C. is a clerk for a rubber company.
On the 1930 United States Federal Census record Edwin and Delia Riggs are residing at 731 Newton Road, Mission, Johnson County, Kansas. Edwin is now the manager of a rubber company. Adelia is once again teaching in the public school system.
The 1940 United States Federal Census record states the same information for 1935 and 1940. Here we learn Adelia had two years of college schooling. The only difference to their address is they are now at 5610 Newton Road.
It was very interesting that both Edwin and Adelia survived until their nineties. Adelia passed away August of 1984 at the age of 93. Edwin died March 1985 at 90. This information was gathered from the U.S., Social Security Death Index, 1935-Current.
I did some additional research to locate a grave site or newspaper article. Doing a Google search with Edwin's name I discovered the website JoCoHistory. A "collaborative presentation of the history of Johnson County, Kansas from the Johnson County Museum and partners". There I found Edwin's obituary index listing. The site has the option to request an email copy. Not sure if they only process in-county research, but fingers crossed!
4) I am not related to Adelia or Edwin. Edwin was my husband's 5th cousin 1x removed. They share the common ancestor Samuel Starr, my husband's 5th great grandfather.
This has been a blast! Loved getting aquainted with Adelia.
5) Here is my post. Thanks Randy! Fun Saturday night and learning experience.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Sharon Rigsby, Beaumont ISD planetarium teacher at the Murry J. Frank Planetarium, has found herself once again on the district's Reduction in Force (RIF) list.
The original RIF list, containing more than 100 teaching positions, including Risby's, failed to garner enough support to pass at a Monday, June 30, Board of Trustees meeting.

Special to The Examiner
Monday, July 21, The Examiner gave me the opportunity to meet with Texas Education Agency Commissioner of Education Michael Williams alongside various local media outlets. After receiving our clearance to visit with him, we were ushered to the fifth floor of the Edison Plaza building. Moments later, Commissioner Williams entered the room, joined us at the table where we were seated, and greeted us.
In a press release, Texas Education Agency Director of Communications Gene Acuña attempted to "provide some perspective" regarding the tele-town hall meeting Thursday, April 10, April 10. The stated goal of the telephone-based town hall was to hear specifically from community members about issues surrounding the Beaumont Independent School District.
AUSTIN – The Texas Education Agency announced today that Commissioner of Education Michael Williams will host a tele-town hall on Thursday, April 10, to hear specifically from community members about issues surrounding the Beaumont Independent School District.
UPDATE: Jefferson County District Attorney Cory Crenshaw responds to the TEA announcement of a takeover recommendation.
Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams announced Wednesday, April 24, that the agency will be transitioning the way it rates school district accountability. According to Williams' statement, the new 2013 state accountability system for school districts, campuses and charters in Texas will be based on four components, giving parents and taxpayers a more comprehensive overview of school district accountability. The first ratings under this system will be issued by the Texas Education Agency on Aug. 8.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

I did get to try the food after the meeting was over and it tasted fantastic as well.
Great job as usual. Thank you for handling the last minute request. I really appreciate it.
Thank you!
Hello! Your company catered an event for us yesterday, 9/19/16, and I wanted to send a quick note to tell you how wonderful everything was!
Multiple people came up to me to give rave reviews of the food, the desserts, and the fresh lemonade!
We ordered the Autumn Sandwich Buffet from the Seasonal menu and everything was so fresh and delicious, unlike the institutional taste a lot of catering companies have making everything taste the same.
Excellent and we will definitely be using Aynie's Catering again!!
A coworker of mine recently mentioned how good Aynie's catering is, but that we hadn't ordered from them in awhile. So, when I was asked to pick a place from which to order food for a recent meeting, I jumped on the opportunity to order from Aynie's. Since then, we've been ordering more frequently.
The thing that makes Aynie's unique is the variety of food they offer.
I feel that their sandwich platters have at least 5 different types of sandwiches on them, so there's always something for everyone.
They offer two delicious pasta salads – one with tortellini and one with rotini. The pasta salad is loaded with good veggies, too.
Additionally, Aynie's has around 7 big salads to choose from on top of their pasta salads. Variety is the theme here…
Lastly, their dessert platters. Cookies, brownies, cupcakes, lemon bars… lucky for me, the folks in my office aren't too keen on the lemon bars, so I always have free rein on them!
Bottom line – if my office only ever ordered food from Aynie's, I would be a-ok with that.
I highly recommend them for any of your catering needs.
Thanks food was awesome as always this office says best caterer in town!
Hi Ayn,
Thank you so much for doing a great job on our delivery and set up today.
Everyone is raving about how delicious the lunch is!
Thank you again.
Thank you so much.
Everything was delicious and wonderful and your staff did a great job of setting everything up.
It was a very tight squeeze in the room, so we appreciate their patience! And thank you so much for the extra effort on the Pepsi products.
Those little things go a long way. The client was very happy.
This is Deb, from […], and you're providing the catering to our event this week. I just wanted to let you know that "you're a hit."
I'm hearing comments that the food is very good, and also a good variety.
Thanks for helping me make this event a little better. I'll be contacting you for future events, too.
Thanks again!
Friggin awesome pasta salad.
Can you please direct me to the best place(s) to give your catering company the bestest review ever on planet Earth—
We were very pleased with your service – we do a lot of work with a very particular audience (they are picky and very sensitive to quality)—
Well let me tell you everyone that was at Miami U could not say enough about the quality of food and service—
So I want to make sure I can pass on the highest recommendations possible.
Again, the food was superb.
Many, many great comments.
Not a speck left.
This was our first time using your catering service, the food is great, salads are awesome!
On the way out the door yesterday, I had a new attendee say they had never had such excellent food at a professional event. Then another chimed in behind her (someone who has been a regular attender). She said, "I am OK if you want to do some different food, but it HAS to come from this same place."
I'm making new fans for you. Thanks for making us look good with your excellent catering.
Had the homemade tomato soup at a luncheon yesterday and it was AWESOME!!!!
As ever, we appreciate working with Aynie's.
The box lunches were delicious and very well received.
Thanks also to Spencer, for his prompt delivery and very courteous assistance.

Your petits fours obsession est fou - I love it! (Much more than the movie. I loved seeing their art, but found the doc rather dull, non?)ReplyDelete
Alright, soon you'll have me at the point where I'll start begging you on my knees to please send me one of those delicious petit fours! *bigpleadingeyes*ReplyDelete
I love what they do to you, i.e. your paintings: L'Amour Fou de Petits Fours, a master piece!
Petit-four-less in Wien,
still sweetly yours,
Just how come Mr. Ozzie NEVER does anything really useful like dragging me to the nearest great pastry palace?ReplyDelete
Mon dieu I also want to live a life of petit fours, champagne, French films and book launches! Happy painting and pastries ...ReplyDelete
"a life of petit fours, champagne, French films and book launches'ReplyDelete
Gee, thanks Karen!
I guess I don't have it so bad.
Mustn't grumble :)
What do you do with all those pastries? You must not eat them as you are a perfect french size!ReplyDelete
The Wanderfull Traveler
Love your petit fours watercolors...and the real things look yummy. Ahhh what we do for our art! :)ReplyDelete
You seem to be at Financier quite a lot since finding the place! I would be too if I was so close to the city, their items are just amazing! Heading next Saturday to see the McQueen exhibit...getting excited!!ReplyDelete
Hmmm..well NYC,ReplyDelete
Tell me where I can find beautiful French pastries to paint?
I tried the competition as noted and they did not stand up :(
C'est triste non?
c'est la vie in NYC
Am I correct in thinking that first painted image is a delicious

Denny Wuesthoff
Dennis "Denny" G. Wuesthoff, Sr., a resident of Nine Mile Falls, passed away on Feb. 17, 2012 in Yuma, AZ. Denny was born on Oct. 31, 1938 in Chewelah, the son of George Ernest and Gladine (Williams) Wuesthoff. Denny was raised in Chewelah, where he attended school. In 1957 he graduated as a 12-year senior from Jenkins High School. Denny then entered the U.S. Air Force and served his country for four years. He was stationed in Alaska. He was honorably discharged in 1961 and returned to Northeast Washington where he began a 32-year career with Northwest Airlines in Spokane. Denny worked his way from baggage to ground service chief and retired on Oct. 31, 1992. While residing in Spokane, Denny married H. Catheryn "Penny" Parks. They shared 22 years of marriage and raised three boys, Herb, Dennis, and Kenny. While attending a class reunion in 1991, Denny was reintroduced to Donna Lehman-Bell. Their friendship blossomed and on May 2, 1992 they were wed. They resided for eight years at Waitts Lake before relo¬cating to Long Lake in the Nine Mile Falls area. Together they enjoyed traveling and ventured into the Mid-west and through¬out the western United States. Denny and Donna have enjoyed the warmth of winters in the Foothills area of Yuma, AZ for the past 12 years.Denny was a man who loved his family and had a heart of gold. His high-energy approach and constant motion intro¬duced him to many friends throughout the years. He was genuine, humble and loyal by nature. He rebuilt several "hot rods" over the years and was a corvette aficionado. In his youth, Denny also bowled on the Northwest Team, often travel¬ing across the U.S. He was a "scrapper," always on the lookout for copper and other treasures of metal. Denny could also be found at many farm and equipment auctions, always seeking new projects. Denny was a longtime member of the Chewelah American Le¬gion.He was preceded in death by his brother, Kenny Wuesthoff, and by his parents, George and Gladine.Denny is survived by his wife, Donna Wuesthoff, at the home; sister, Linda Norris and husband, Mike, Chewelah; five sons, Herb Wuesthoff, Elk; Dennis Wuesthoff Jr. and wife, Michelle, Medical Lake; Kenny Wuesthoff and wife, Karen, Suncrest; Glen Bell and wife, Teri, Spokane; Bonnie Pete and husband, Mike, Colville; Teri Anderson, Spokane; Paula LaBlanc, Spokane; mother-in-law, Alice "The Norwegian" Lehman, Spokane; 19 grandchildren, Ashley, Harley, Shelby, Kyle, Taylor, Rylee, Kay¬dee, Amanda, Zak, Austin, Josh, Arin, Demeree, Jordan, David, Nicole, Jeff, Jessica and Joel; five great grandchildren and sev¬eral nieces and nephews.A funeral service for Mr. Dennis "Denny" G.

Zero Dark Thirty
Chronicling nearly a decade's worth of investigations, and an endless amount of headaches on the part of CIA operatives, Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty burns slowly through America's turbulent search for Osama bin Laden. Where Hurt Locker brewed tension from red-or-blue-wire bomb scenarios and military action, the Oscar winner's follow-up finds it in a maelstrom of intel, the temperamental conditions of the Middle East, and the bureaucracy of back home. Jessica Chastain's Maya goes from bright newcomer to the obsessed soldier of justice, giving Javert a run for his money in pursuit of a criminal in one's crosshairs. When Seal Team Six finally receives their infamous assignment, Bigelow and writer Mark Boal continue to ask questions imperative in a film that speaks to one of U.S.'s murkiest zeitgeists.
Maya is first introduced dressed up in a clean, well-fitting suit, preparing to witness her very first interrogation. The scene escalates quickly, with her coworker Dan (Jason Clarke) employing the waterboarding technique against the close-lipped detainee Ammar (Reda Kateb, A Prophet). Zero Dark Thirty has come under fire for its portrayal of torture, but nothing in Bigelow's film comes close to condoning the process. Instead, the film focuses in on the ramifications. Months of pressure eventually breaks Ammar and his interrogator. A distraught Dan heads back to Washington, leaving Maya even more committed to chasing leads and finding bin Laden on her own.
The careful orchestration of details names, locations, dates, and any other shred of evidence that could lead Maya and her team to bin Laden turns Zero Dark Thirty into a thriller by way of a New Yorker essay. Boal finds emotion in cut and dry information; Chastain's determination, ferocity, and at times, exhaustion, speak volumes even when the dialogue is laying down facts. Bigelow surrounds her with an inspired cast: Kyle Chandler as the dapper politico chief, Jennifer Ehle as a intelligence officer who draws out Maya's last few drops of friendship, and Mark Strong as a ball-buster who loses his stance above the team as Maya pours herself entirely into the operation and asserts dominance. Bigelow has an eye for action, and the Seal Team Six infiltration that caps the film is expertly crafted, thanks to tactical movements lit dimly and paced with Alexandre Desplat's rumbling score. But Bigelow also respects the personalities of soldiers. They speak like people, act like people, and in moments of bloodshed (decisions made in morally grey zones), they respond and react like people.
Zero Dark Thirty is awe-inspiring for its ability to chronicle a long-gestating investigation, but it's one of 2012's best because it digs deeper and examines both sides of the coin. No decision is made without consequences, even the ones that feel so right in the moment. The death of Osama bin Laden was a momentous occasion in the United States. As Chastain reveals with unflinching elegance, pulling it off cost more than anyone could ever know.

I work extensively within the Pugwash movement which is concerned with the role of science in society generally and in international affairs in particular. I am a past Vice-President of the British Crystallographic Association and an honorary Vice-President of Euroscience. ResearchResearch: My research interests are centred on liquid, non-crystalline and disordered crystalline systems, with an emphasis on water, aqueous solutions and the role of water in biological processes. Current active projects relate to (a) structure and interactions in aqueous solutions, with particular reference to the understanding of solution processes such as the hydrophobic interaction, salting out, and self-assembly; (b) enzyme dynamics and function (in particular the effect of solvent) and (c) structure and ordering in high pressure ices. This is a view of ice XII, a metastable phase of ice. Pretty, isn't it? It was discovered, and its structure solved, by work in the group in UCL in the late 1990s, in collaboration with colleagues in Göttingen. This was the first new phase of ice to be found since the pioneering work of Bridgman in the 1930s. Not satisfied with this, however, we have recently, in collaboration with researchers in Austria and at the ISIS Pulsed Neutron Facility, discovered two further new phases ices XIII and XIV, and in doing so solved one of the outstanding problems relating to how water molecules order at low temperatures. Moreover, understanding these structures helps us to understand the way water molecules interact with each other, information which is important if we are to understand how water is involved in the essential biological processes that are necessary for maintaining life.

In my own brain, I see this list as the list of the most significant science fiction films, as opposed to the "best" or the most financially successful. This gives me latitude to, say, include films that are influential on science fiction filmmakers, but not necessarily the audience (or, vice versa, as the case may be).He's got a list of things he's already thought of (most of the obvious stuff), and is inviting comment at his blog.
The only thing I thought should definitely be on his preliminary list is anything by Terry Gilliam. I'm partial to Brazil, myself. Alas, I can't say that SF films are my favorite type of cinema ... often, I go out of my way to avoid them. (Though the upcoming Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow does look intriguing.)
I hope that Scalzi includes a list or discussion of obscure SF movies worth seeking out. If such things even exist. The most obscure I can claim to have seen is Hombre Mirando al Sudeste (Man Looking Southeast), an Argentinian movie that is quite good until it is ruined by a far too literal ending.

Who doesn't love that slo-mo, rotating Matrix effect? Qualcomm is capitalizing on that with a new advertisement showing people the effect using 130 Spandragon-powered devices, specifically, HTC One smartphones. They set up a booth with the smartphones aligned in a big circle to record random people from all angles, and invited people to go do tricks.
They definitely got some interesting people on video. A dog catching a frisbee while jumping off of its owners back, a man breathing fire, breakdancing and more were shown off with the fancy effect. While I can't see how this advertises Snapdragon processors, as I think this could have been done with pretty much any smartphone, it's a cool video nonetheless.
It's worth noting that Sony used almost the exact same concept when making an Xperia Z advertisement quite a while ago. They had dozens of Xperia Z's in a big circle, but in a different orientation. The big difference is that HTC let people use their setup instead of having it in a studio. It's a cool, short video so check it out and tell us what you think!

Faculty mentoring yields happy, productive Waynesburg graduates
At a time when higher education is under the microscope, studies abound concerning which schools place the highest percentage of students in graduate schools and jobs, which lead to the highest annual income, and the list could continue. Instead of focusing on the names of institutions, however, what about looking into what students actually do during their four years?
A recent Gallup Poll did just that, finding students who "forged meaningful connections with professors or mentors" are the same people "who feel happy and engaged in their jobs [and] are the most productive" as a result.
At Waynesburg University, 93 percent of first-year students and 91 percent of seniors rated their overall experience as "excellent" or "good," according to the University's 2013 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) results. Additionally, NSSE reported that Waynesburg students talked about career plans with a faculty member 28 percent more than students at other Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) schools.
What exactly does that look like? Mike Cipoletti, Director of the Forensic Science program, said he knows every student in the program, from the freshmen to the seniors—a direct result of the University's 14:1 student/faculty ratio. Cipoletti said the seniors spend plenty of time in his office, especially close to graduation.
"That's why most of us are here," he said. "We come to a small institution like this, so we can have more face time and interaction with the students. It's not even just on the academic side of things—it's the personal interactions, too. It's trying to help these students figure out how to become leaders, how to become service-oriented people, how to give back to their communities, and you know, that's the best part about it."
Provost Dr. Jacquelyn Core agrees, citing the University's commitment to service as another way students and faculty forge close ties with one another.
"When a student is serving right alongside a faculty member, it adds more depth to the relationship, and it's all about that ability to form relationships," Core said. "I also think it goes both ways because it helps faculty members to feel more invested in the students, too."
As the survey undertaken by Gallup—which polled 30,000 graduates of all ages in all 50 states—proved, Waynesburg's mentor-like approach to teaching, academic advising and career counseling works. And the institution's 96 percent career path rate (for those still wondering about those buzzwords) further illustrates that point.
Students are not only furthering their education in graduate schools and obtaining jobs in their respective fields, they are excelling in whatever path they choose.
Take Ryan Devlin, for example. A 2007 Waynesburg alumnus, Devlin received the honor of Pennsylvania's 2013 "Teacher of the Year" and also became a finalist for the 2014 National Teacher of the Year Award. He, too, cites the holistic approach to a Waynesburg education as a major factor in his success.
"[Waynesburg is] just a great place where everyone is a mentor to you, and it's not just about having a great college professor—it's about everyone here," Devlin said. "One of the things that's really unique about Waynesburg University is that it really educates the entire student."
Part of how the University "educates the entire student," as Devlin put it, is through the school's liberal arts philosophy. Core, in her role as Provost, is of the opinion that this approach to education is simply invaluable.
"I truly believe that you cannot put a price tag on the type of well-rounded person you can become through a liberal arts education," Core said. "It's really easy outside of a liberal arts background to get pigeon-holed in your field of study. You may become an expert in that field but not get the background needed to become a good citizen in all parts of society, whether that is servant leadership, environmental stewardship or whatever that might be. I think there's a level of knowledge with a liberal arts education that makes you more conversant in a wider range of societal issues."

Reviewed By Linda P (Red Bank, TN) Reviewed for a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse —12/20/2011 7:55 AM
I put them on my 2000 Eclipse GT after I installed my new headlights. After you are done you can not even tell that they are on. It takes a little work to put them on the way you want them but its well worth it to protect your healights and whatnot. I would recommend this product to anyone and they are fairly cheap.
