jQuery: Alert when done scrolling

I want an alert to be triggered when a person is done scrolling.

The problem with my code is that if a person scrolls down, they get lots of alerts.

Instead, they should only get an alert when they have stopped scrolling and have not done any scrolling for at least one second.
