I purchased this program and was really surprised at how having the ability to visualize your progress really helps keep you motivated to quit smoking. I have not had a cigarette in 90 days and actually have no desire at all to light up. I think this program is a great tool to help you quit."
"It won't do all the hard work for you but it can give you a big helping hand when the craving starts. Just look at the graphs and imagine having to go back to square one. Havn't smoked a cigarette since 19th April 2002 after being a smoker for twenty years."
"It really helped me personally to graphicaly see what was happening inside my body and all the other information has only helped strengthened my resolve. I haven't picked up a cigarette since I got it."
"Didnt knew if it was the knowledge of my cc being billed for the app or what but i have no smoked since i bought it it helps a lot to see graphically how your health is. COOL!"
"40 years a Smoker until I found My Last Cigarette
I've tried various methods to stop smoking over the last 40 years. Started when I was 11 years old now 52. I now feel I can say I?m a non-smoker. It's all down to "My Last Cigarette" Every morning I turn on my PDA to have a look how many cigarettes I've not smoked. That sets me up for another day without one. If this government is serious about reducing the number of smokers it should by this software and give free on the National Health. In my Lifetime I've smoked 433590 cigarettes but more importantly I've not smoke 4043 since I stopped on July 27th this year. Do yourself a favour buy this software."

This is the app that science built. Proven techniques to help you stop smoking are delivered in a beautifully clear and very human way. The calculator tells you how much money you've saved and how many cigarettes you've not smoked, the calendar tells you how long you've been smoke free and how much life you've regained, bars show you how giving up smoking is improving your health, and a diary shows how your cravings for cigarettes are decreasing over time. Plus filling it out seems to help, even if you only use it to vent.
Filling it out also helps us, because this is the app that science is building. If you give us permission, we'll use the information you give us to learn how to help even more people stop smoking. As you know, quitting smoking is hard. But tens of thousands of people do it successfully each month (especially if that month is Stoptober). We want to know more about what works and what doesn't and your data can help future quitters quit.
The quit process
Here's what we know so far. The science is pretty clear that nicotine replacement therapy helps people stop smoking. But it needs to be taken as directed (many people don't complete the course) and that means it's best if you get it from your doctor rather than the pharmacist. But don't worry if you don't want to use NRT, this is your quit, you do what works for you. The other golden rule about giving up smoking is to make your mantra 'not one more puff'. Because one puff almost always leads to more and you're soon back smoking again. It doesn't seem to matter how much confidence you've got about quitting and nor does it matter if you plan your quit ahead or quit or the spur of the moment. The social support you get from programs such as Stoptober are helpful but what really seems important is getting a real understanding of how much progress you've made, all the benefits you gain from giving up smoking and all that you'd have to lose by starting smoking again. Giving you that is the core way this app hopes to keep you smoke free.
Electronic cigarettes
E-cigs seem to help lots of people stop smoking. The ones that look like cigarettes seem less effective than ones you get from specialist vape shops. They also seem pretty safe, much safer than smoking cigarettes. However, we don't have much long-term evidence so it's probably best to use them as a way to stop smoking, rather than a replacement for cigs.
The experiment
We're running an on-going experiment that tests different things to help people give up smoking. Everyone gets all the features mentioned above, the calculator that shows how many cigarettes you've not smoked, the calendar that tells you how long you've been smoke free, the bars that show how your health has improved from giving up smoking.
Some people will get additional features. We can't tell you what they are, partly because it might invalidate the experiment, partly because they change frequently. Don't feel you're missing out though. We don't know if these things will help people stop smoking, we just want to learn whether they do. Don't worry that they'll want to make you smoke more either. We would never try anything we thought might make people more likely to smoke.
This is all entirely voluntary and you can use the app fully without taking part in the experiment. Your data will be kept anonymous and you can delete it at any time. But we really hope you take part because everyone who does will help the quitters who follow. So do yourself a favour by stopping smoking. And do your fellow smokers a favour by helping them understand how it's done.

This way can let you accommodate with non-smoker life again, what you used to be, before you began smoking.. But the most important thing is your willingness to stop smoking and if you have it- install this application and use it.
Enjoy easier breathing by no smoking
How it works?
For example, if you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, that means that you smoke a cigarette approximately every 42 minutes (with hypothesis that you sleep 8 hours a day). After that it will calculate how much you need to extend that period over a time to stop smoking in desired time. After setting initial parameters, hit the green screen when you smoke the cigarette.
When screen is green, you can smoke. Enough of time has passed from the last cigarette. Click to record you smoked and wait for the screen to go green again.
When screen is red, you should not smoke. Try with Tips if it's hard. If you didn't make it - tap and hold the red screen for 3 seconds. Try harder next period, and don't break the maximum amount of cigarettes for the day.
Why should you try this method?
Smoking is a habit. Quitting smoking it's not very simple, but we're all aware of the fact that we should go no smoking way. This app provides method that is different from just saying I won't smoke anymore, because that's really hard. Reduction of nicotine, and stress from no smoking are here coming in small doses.
Hypothesis here is that with this smaller portions of nicotine turkey and need for cigarette it is easier to adapt on life without cigarette and then completely quit smoking.
Remember: willingness to quit smoking is most important. Take those small amounts of nicotine stress and habit change every day and his app will help you to adapt on non-smoking life. You can do it! :-)

Stop Smoking Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a natural state in which everyone moves in and out of every day. We experience hypnosis when day-dreaming or when we have our attention intensely focused on something of interest. In this altered state of awareness, our unconscious mind is more open and receptive to ideas and suggestion.
By using hypnosis, we can present information to our unconscious mind to bring about the changes we desire. It may be that the unconscious mind is viewing certain situations from a flawed perspective, which means that it is influencing our bodies' responses in a negative way,
e.g. we feel anxious and afraid of something which is really not all that threatening (phobias and fears). In hypnosis, we can correct those flawed perceptions which, in turn, will result in the unconscious mind changing the way it influences our feelings and our physical responses. We
can also present information to the unconscious mind about positive things we want to experience, e.g. feeling more confident in a certain situation and performing better. Our unconscious mind cannot distinguish between what is real and what is imaginary. When we use the power of hypnosis to present information to the unconscious mind in our imagination, our unconscious can accept that as real and will then go on to respond to that new information. It is important to know that the more you believe in the power of your mind to bring about what you want, and the more you commit to focusing your attention on what you want, the better the results will be. One session of hypnotic suggestions will not bring about much change at all. However, repeated suggestions in line with your goals and a strong focus on the outcomes you really want will help you to make these a reality.

There is no violence, but lots of catharsis in Iago Pericot's latest project. And the only star of this show is the audience. Aware that our society is currently going through a time of confusion and that we all feel that our lives are being curtailed, the creators of this show invite us to look inside ourselves to find the concept or idea that most upsets us, and then to joyfully free ourselves from it. All you need to do is activate the guillotine mechanism by phone. For around five minutes, the lights will go on, then an alarm will sound when the blade reaches the top, and the guillotine will come down. Then, you will hear the cheers and applause of the crowd. Make way for Madame Guillotine!
Take a look at the countdown who will tell you when is the next show. When the Public scene producer says NOW!, push the button of the application and guillotine!

Aquesta nova versió és una forta rentada de cara, i una implosió del "menys és més". S'ha simplificat el funcionament de l'app, tant fent el mapa molt més gran, com eliminant opcions que hem vist que ningú utilitzava. El resultat és una app encara més ràpida que el Vicing, tant com d'executar com d'utilitzar.
Esperem que us sigui ben útil!

Bud Walks on the Wild Side…
By William Brand
Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005 at 7:14 am in Uncategorized.
Late note. I wrote about Anheuser Busch Michelob Celebration, a 10- percent ABV beer today (Wedneday, Nov. 23, 2005) in my beer column in the Oakland Tribune and other newspapers. So, I'm re-posting this tasting report, filed last month at the Great American Beer Festival. Both Michelob Marzen and Michelob Pale Ale won gold in the professionally judged, blind tastings at the GABF.
The column will be on line in a few days at www.insidebayarea.com. But if you'd like to join my e-mail list, send me a note at: firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.
DENVER _ Would you believe it? A blueberry ale from Anheuser Busch? This is no lie _ the makers of Bud Light _ are test-marketing two blueberry ales in the Midwest and yesterday afternoon, I had a chance to sample both.
It sent my mind lurching back to 1989, when I first sampled Grant Johnston's prize-winning Bluebeery Ale at Marin Brewing in Larkspur, CA. The craft beer movement was still tiny then and not in my wildest imagination would I have believed that a decade and a half later I'd be sitting in a hotel lobby in Denver, sampling Blueberry Ale from Budweiser.
Whew. The mind reels and boggles.
A-B also has several other non-rice beers, a very decent Marzen, a pale ale that has been in the Anheuser Busch lineup from time to time and A-B's fall seasonal: Jack's Pumpkin Spiced Ale, under the Michelob label. There's also a 10 percent alcohol by voluume Michelob Reserve out there somewhere. But they didn't have a sample.
Another sign that the world's largest beer company is changing course: A-B's public relations folks also produced one of the brewers who helped design the beers. He's Florian Kuplent, a German-born, German-trained brewer who worked in Belgium and for the late New England Brewing Co. in the U.S., before signing on with big Bud.
Before I even tasted the beers, I fired questions at the PR team about marketing strategy, why the maker of the world's top-selling beer (It's either Bud or Bud Light) would do something like this. I asked if the fact that sales of craft beer were up 7 percent last year and are growing at a similar rate this year had anything to do with it.
Also, I noted that Miller's now owned by a beer company again, South African Breweries, and InBev, the former Interbrew is growing rapidly figured in their strategy.
But they demurred, so we focused on the beer.
First, the blueberry ales, starting with the best:
— Wild Blue*** is an 8 percent alcohol by volume ale, made with malted barley and a touch of rice. Hops, I believe, were noble _ Hallertau and Tettnang. "We only use aroma hops,';' Byrne said. Whole blueberries are added to the mash.
This one was delicious, fruit aroma, taste is dry with just a bit of sweetness, then a hit from the alcohol. Very drinkable. I wondered aloud how this one would develop, if they put it in wooden barrels for a year or two. No response on that one, but I believe, I'm right. A lactic edge and no rice would make this a spectacular beer.
— Blue Horizon*, a five percent, all-barley malt beer, is a great name. But it was a true alco-pop. Sweet and a bit fizzy. A decent alco-pop at that. This one, no doubt, will survive. Modern tastes run to sweet. Personally, I'm voting for Wild Blue.
— Jack's Pumpkin Spice ** was an interesting beast. Again, all barley malt, 5.5 percent beer. "Golden Delicious" pumpkins from a farm in Oregon, were added to the mash, along with a spice blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and ginger. Pumpkin nose, spicy taste. Like a pumpkin pie, If you like pumpkin, this would be worth a try. It will be on sale on tap and in bottles in 12 and 18 bottle Michelob Specialty Sampler Selection boxes until mid-December. The 18-bottle sampler includes two pilsner glasses as well. A-Bs next seasonal rolls out in December Each season will bring a new beer, Byrne said.
— Marzen *** is a very respectable, 5.2 percent version of an Oktoberfest lager. It's a 100 percent barley malt beer, a blend of two-row and caramel cara-pils malts, Hallertau and Tettnang hops. It's also dry hopped _ hops added after the wort cools. Most American-style Marzens tend to be quite malty with lots of hops. This one's more like the fest beers being served this year in Munich: Crisp, malty mouth feel, dry finish. Excellent fest beer.
— Pale Ale** also is a dry-hopped, all barley malt beer. Byrne explained that it's more like an English version of a pale ale, rather than the American style, with over-the-top Cascade hops. This is a middle-of-the road pale ale. To be British, in my opinion, it needs more malt, less dryness.
Anheuser Busch says all the beers _ with the exception of the blueberry ales _ will be available nationwide this month.

SNL's Seth Meyers, Tina Fey in Talks to Replace Jimmy Fallon on Talk Show
Tina Fey with her own late-night talk show? We want to go to there.
Jimmy Fallon is said to be replacing Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show next year, and now some talented jokesters are being discussed to replace Jimmy, according to the New York Post.
Currently, the leading candidate to host NBC's Late Night is reportedly Saturday Night Live star Seth Meyers, who has a similar job as host of SNL's Weekend Update news segment.
"[SNL and Late Night producer] Lorne Michaels wants Seth to take over from Fallon," a source reveals. "It would be perfect for him."
Seth had also reportedly been a contender to replace Regis Philbin on that morning chat show.
The name that would make us even more excited for this new gig would be Tina Fey, and the 30 Rock and Admission star has even been talking to producers about taking the job.
"Tina Fey's name had also come up, but she has said she was too busy to do it," the source adds. Blerg!
62-year-old Jay Leno's contract isn't up until fall of 2014, but the network is reportedly hoping that he'll step down very soon so that NBC can announce Jimmy as the new Tonight Show host during upfronts this May.
We think Tina as talk show host would totally rock, but we'll have to wait and see.

In its first ever global report on antibiotic resistance, the World Health Organisation (WHO) last week sounded an alert against rising anti-microbial drug resistance worldwide that will specifically put poor and developing countries at risk.
The key findings of the report stated that while resistance is occurring across a wide spectrum of infectious agents like virus, pathogens and bacteria, antibiotic resistance in seven different kinds of bacteria— causing serious diseases like diarrhoea, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, gonorrhoea, and blood stream infections (sepsis)— has caused high concerns across the globe.
Dr Keiji Fukuda, WHO's Assistant Director General for Health Security, said at a press conference held in Geneva (WHO's headquarters), "Without urgent, coordinated action by many stakeholders, the world is headed for a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries which have been treatable for decades can once again kill."
In India, E. coli— which causes urinary tract and blood stream infections – has shown drug resistance between a whopping 16 to 86 per cent while K. pneumoniae – which causes inflammation – has exhibited drug resistance between five to 100 per cent.
India faces the challenge of dense population with several clusters becoming a host to diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, pneumonia and recently dengue. According to provisional figures from National Vector-borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), the country witnessed a jump from 50,222 dengue cases recorded in 2012 to 75,454 dengue cases in 2013. The number of malaria cases in 2013 stood at 8.3 lakhs, of which 379 people died.
TB presents a grim picture for the country- of the 8.6 million cases reported worldwide in 2012, 2.3 million (25 per cent) were recorded in India, says data from Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP).
As per the WHO report, 20 per cent of MDR cases were of patients who had come for re-treatment. In the city, of the 40,000 TB cases recorded in 2013, over 10 per cent TB cases (4,467) were for re-treatment.
A worrying trend for doctors is now the increasing instances of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively-drug resistant (XDR) TB cases. From 181 new patients diagnosed with MDR TB and 288 already receiving treatment for it in 2011, the figure rose to 2,195 new patients diagnosed with MDR TB and 1,935 on treatment in 2012. In 2013, a whopping 2,903 patients were diagnosed with MDR TB and 2,604 were on-treatment for it.
In 2013, the count of XDR TB rose from 32 in 2012 to 90 cases. This year till March-end 24 patients were labeled as XDR by BMC.
Dr Lalitkumar Anande, chest surgeon in Sewri's TB hospital, said, "The speed at which TB is spreading has increased. Patients who initially responded to drugs now need surgery as they are no more getting cured by drugs."
Dr Om Srivastava, head of infectious disease department at Jaslok hospital, said, "We are already seeing patients who could earlier be treated on OPD basis but now need hospitalization. One of reasons why resistance to drugs is increasing is that patients don't finish their treatment because they feel better …continued »

Reviews for the HP Compaq 6510b
Source: Notebookreview.com
The HP Compaq 6510b offers a nice blend of good performance and a reasonable price. The build quality is good, but not great. The look is clean and stylish, but it won't win any awards. The screen quality is good, with no complaints, but it won't outshine some of the nicer Sony, Apple or Fujitsu displays out there. The ports selection is all you really need for a business notebook, and the keyboard is nice to use. The 6510b isn't the lightest or thinnest 14.1" screen notebook out there, but you'd be paying more if it were. In other words, HP has designed a well rounded portable notebook that's not quite on the cutting edge with any of its aspects, but it is reliable and leaves little to complain about -- exactly what you'd want in a budget business notebook.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently.
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
T7300: Mid-range (at the time of annoucement) dual core processor based on the Merom core. » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
14.1": 14 inch display size is a mixture between the small formats of subnotebooks and the 15 inch standard display. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
2.4 kg: This notebook is lighter than the average of all notebooks. It is too heavy for sub-notebooks. 14 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

While Westerners must wait until later this month to pick up the 3DS, Nintendo's glasses-free 3D handheld has already celebrated its launch in Japan, where it made a big splash on Media Create's Japanese sales charts for the week of February 21-27. The 3DS easily topped the hardware chart, while its games claimed half of the spots on the top 10.
The 3DS launched in Japan on February 26 and sold through 374,764 systems by the end of the next day. That's a little lower than the 400,000 figure reported by Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun in the days after the system's launch. Regardless, it still beat out the next best-selling hardware, the PSP, by nearly 8:1.
New hardware isn't much good without new games, ensuring the 3DS launch lineup was well represented in the top 10 charts. Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle was easily the best-selling 3DS title of the launch, moving 119,951 copies during the week. Nintendogs + Cats sold a little more than half that amount (64,213 copies), while Samurai Warriors Chronicles, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition, and Ridge Racer 3D rounded out the handheld's best-selling offerings with sub-50,000 performances.
Despite the new hardware hype, it wasn't a 3DS game that topped the week's software sales chart. Sega's PSP online role-playing game Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity claimed that honor, selling 206,654 copies in its first week of release. Another PSP game was close behind it, as Namco's latest superdeformed mech title, SD Gundam G Generation World, racked up sales of 192,981 copies in its own debut. In all, nine of the top 10 games were new releases, with the only exception being Capcom's frequent best-seller Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.

Muslim pilgrims make their way to throw stones at a pillar, symbolizing the stoning of Satan.
MINA, Saudi Arabia: Nearly 3 million Muslim pilgrims were performing the final rituals of the hajj Tuesday as the world's largest annual gathering neared its close without major incident.
The most dangerous rite of the annual hajj proceeded peacefully as pilgrims rushed to throw 21 stones at pillars that symbolize the devil in the Saudi village of Mina, the last rite of the annual pilgrimage.
"Once I've finished the stoning, I will go to the Grand Mosque in Mecca to say farewell," said Abdallah Hamid Uglu, a 54-year-old Turk, in the mass of pilgrims rushing to complete the ritual before sunset.
In previous years, hundreds of people have been trampled to death in stampedes triggered by crowds trying to get close to the pillars to take their vengeance on the devil.
To complete the ritual, which is carried out over three days, pilgrims must stone the three pillars said to symbolize the devil.
The ritual is an emulation of Ibrahim's stoning of the devil at the three spots where he is said to have appeared trying to dissuade the biblical patriarch from obeying God's order to sacrifice his son, Ishmael.
Most pilgrims were to leave Tuesday, after a farewell circumambulation of the Kaaba, a cube-shaped structure in the Grand Mosque into which is set the Black Stone, Islam's most sacred relic. Others stay for a further day.
Saudi authorities have installed a multi-level walkway through the stone-throwing site in a bid to avoid the trampling that caused the deaths of 364 people in 2006, 251 in 2004 and 1,426 in 1990.
More than 12,000 security guards organized the movement of pilgrims on the walkway this year with around 400 CCTV security cameras placed there to help manage the crowds.
No major incidents have been reported among the pilgrims, which the Saudi statistics office said numbered 2.93 million this year. The figure included 1.83 million foreigners. "Over 239,000 people have been working on ground" to serve the pilgrims and maintain order, Mecca governor Prince Khaled al-Faisal told reporters.
The Religious Affairs Ministry has been sending 3.25 million text messages each day to the mobile phones of pilgrims to inform them of correct procedures for the hajj rites.
Saudi authorities also managed the crowds with electronic monitors which tracked each and every pilgrim during the five-day hajj, Hajj Minister Fuad al-Farsi said.
With motion sensors placed on surveillance cameras, "we are now able to report any excessive crowds" and to react in time, said the commander of the special emergency forces, Khaled al-Mohammadi.
The religious police also posted videos and documents for the guidance of pilgrims on video-sharing website YouTube. For the first time this year, the hajj was streamed live on YouTube in cooperation with the Saudi government.
Before leaving, most pilgrims buy up religious souvenirs and Zamzam holy water from a spring inside the Grand Mosque complex.
"I'm looking for gifts for my family back home in Jakarta," said Mohammad Islam, a 56-Indonesian, as he strolled among the market stalls scattered across the holy sites.
"A gift from Mecca has a symbolic value because it represents the holiest place on earth," he said.

It lies east of the Delta River. Fort Greely consists of Allen Army Airfield and the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) missile defense complex. The area is bordered by the Donnelly Training Area, which is under the control of Fort Wainwright. Community Map Available No Latitude 63.8567 Longitude -145.8524 Climate Fort Greely falls within the continental climate zone, characterized by extreme temperature differences. The continental climate zone encompasses most of the central part of the state and experiences extremely cold winters and warm summers. Ice fog is common during the winter. History and Culture History In 1904 the U.S. Army Signal Corps completed the McCarthy Telegraph Station in this area. In 1942, in concert with the construction of the Alaska Highway, airfields were built as part of the lend/lease program with the Soviet Union. This program involved ferrying American-built fighter planes to Russia via a number of airfields in Canada and Alaska; one of these airfields later became Fort Greely. In 1948, Fort Greely became the Northern Warfare Training Center and the Cold Regions Test Center for the U.S. Army. In 1997, Fort Greely was listed for closure under the Department of Defense's Base Realignment and Closure Program. In 2003, the White House announced that the U.S. would begin deploying a set of missile defense capabilities in 2004, including a missile complex at Fort Greely.

Reynolds breaks men's 60 hurdles record for third time this season
Junior Lauren Hultzman (Putnam) achieved All-New England honors for the second straight year in the high jump and sophomore Andre Reynolds (Hartford) broke the men's 60 meter hurdles record for the third time this year Saturday at the New England Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships.
At left: Lauren Hultzman
Competing at the Costello Athletic Complex on the campus of the University of Southern Maine for the second straight week, Hultzman gained the only point for the women or men in the competition with an eighth-place finish in the high jump with a mark of 5-2 ¼. The height was ¾ of an inch off the program record which she shares and which she attained at the New England Open Championships as a sophomore.
Hultzman was one of six competitors to clear the bar at 5-2 ¼. Julie Eagle of WPI won the New England title with a jump of 5-6, followed by three participants reaching 5-4 ¼, and six at 5-2 ¼.
Hultzman competed in the event in this meet for the third straight year. As a freshman, she was 12th (5-0 ¼) and last year gained All-New England honors for the first time with an identical mark of 5-2 ¼ which netted her a fourth-place finish.
At left: Andre Reynolds
At the New England Division III men's championships at Bates College's Walter Slovenski Track, Reynolds broke the program's 60 meter hurdles record for the third time this season with a time of 8.66 in the preliminaries. Reynolds, who broke the record twice earlier this year in times of 8.87 (season-opener at the Reggie Lewis Center) and 8.78 (Jan. 26 at Springfield College), was third in his heat Saturday, missing out on a spot in the final by .04.
As a freshman, Reynolds also competed in the preliminaries of the 60 hurdles at the New England Division III Championships, clocking a time of 9.25.
Participating in the meet for the second time in his two-year career, junior Fredrick Hewett (New London) was timed in 7.27 in the preliminaries of the 60 meters and finished 14th in a field of 24 with a time of 51.43 in the 400. Hewett was timed in 7.19 in the 60 preliminaries last year and placed tenth in the 400 in a time of 51.45.
Additional Eastern Results:
Sophomore Dylan Kruppa (Torrington) was 13th in the 600 (1:26.60) and 15th in the long jump (19-8).
Sophomore Luisantonio Rosado (Ponce, P.R.) clocked a 9.21 in a 22nd-place finish in the 60 hurdles.
The 4x400 relay of Reynolds, sophomore D'Vonte Chambers (West Haven), Kruppa and Hewett was 14th in a time of 3:34.28.
Senior Cora Gingras (Portland) and Hultzman finished ninth and tenth, respectively, in Friday's pentathlon. In a field of 14, Gingras totaled 2,790 points, Hultzman 2,780. Gingras was on pace to break Hulzman's program record of 2,859 points which she set at last year's championships, but twisted her ankle at the start of the 800 - the final event - and placed 12th.
Gingras shared first place in the high jump, was seventh in the 55 hurdles, tenth in the long jump and 12th in the shot put to go along with her 12th-place finish in the 800. Hultzman also shared first place in the high jump, was seventh in the shot put and long jump, eighth in the 55 hurdles and 13th in the 800.
Gingras was 14th in the triple jump (33-11 ½) and freshman Shanique Bunsie (Bridgeport) 14th in the shot put (35-4 ½).
Sophomore Nikki Chambers (East Hampton), the program recordholder in the 600, was 24th in the 800 (2:28.82).
The 4x200 relay was 16th (1:54.29) and the 4x400 17th (4:18.28). Running the 4x200 were juniors Tacia Bryant (Guilford) and Amy Huhn (Hebron), freshman Sherry Gilronan (Darien) and Chambers. The 4x400 was made up of junior Akaya McElveen (New Haven), Bryant, Gilronan and Chambers.

2010 Southland Conference Preview:Women
Record: 8-5
vs. Division I: 7-5
High point: Dec. 28 vs. Houston (W 81-76). The win over Alabama was a bigger "name" victory, but this was the beating of an old nemesis that always seemed to frustrate the Islanders. Better still, it seems to have launched A&M-CC into conference play with a load of confidence.
Low point: Dec. 5 vs. Chicago State at Colorado Springs (L 72-58). Never should have lost to this team. It was a side of the Islanders that had not been seen up to that point and wasn't seen until the Jan. 6 loss to Texas-Pan American.
Spot on: Elisa Beagle (10.2 ppg, 9.4 rpg) has looked better than ever coming off a season lost to injury.
Sore spot: Beagle's free-throw shooting (17 of 47) means she will be a liability on the floor at the end of the game or not on the floor at game's end.
March Madness or Sadness: Madness and possibly conference title contender at that. This is an experienced team that, for the most part, is playing up to its potential.
Record: 10-3
vs. Division I: 6-3
High point: Dec. 1 vs. Tulsa (W 86-77). UCA has two solid victories on its résumé — this one and a road win against Eastern Kentucky, a contender for the Ohio Valley title.
Low point: Dec. 29 at Chicago State (L 78-62). What is it with Chicago State beating Southland teams? An issue, perhaps, as the Sugar Bears are 2-3 on the road.
Spot on: Freshman F Megan Herbert (24.6 ppg, 13.9 rpg) has been incredible in non-conference play. That bodes well for this program's future.
Sore spot: Eight of 11 players on the roster are freshmen or sophomores. That could mean a few hard knocks right now, but this is a team to watch in years to come.
March Madness or Sadness: Sadness, but only because the team is completing its final season of probation as it transitions from Division II to I. If not for the restrictions, UCA likely would be in the mix for a Southland Tournament berth.
Record: 10-4
vs. Division I: 8-4
High point: Dec. 5 at Louisiana-Monroe (W 88-56). ULM is a decent program, but it had to be sweet to beat a former Southland member this thoroughly on the road.
Low point: Jan. 4 at Texas A&M (L 90-57). One of only two games in which Lamar has been decisively outclassed. Of course, the Aggies have been hanging around the Top 10 this season.
Spot on: Oklahoma transfer Jenna Plumley (45 3-pointers, 13.3 ppg) has meshed with the experienced players and provided the outside threat the Cardinals need.
Sore spot: Lamar has used only nine players this season. While those nine have played very well together, an injury or two could wreak postseason plans.
March Madness or Sadness: Madness for sure, including a possible Southland title. The team's only defeats are to solid or ranked power-conference programs — Minnesota, Texas Tech, Baylor and Texas A&M.
Record: 4-9
vs. Division I: 2-9
High point: Dec. 30 vs. Norfolk State (W 68-55). Not much to choose from here. But it was a win over a Division I school.
Low point: Jan. 2 vs. Tulsa (L 86-45). This isn't even one of the tougher Tulsa teams of old. And it was at home. A complete meltdown to enter Southland play.
Spot on: Kiara Johnson (14.2 ppg, 6.4 rpg) has emerged after two season as a bit player to become a leader.
Sore spot: McNeese is missing the Baggett twins — Ashlyn and Caitlyn — who left school after their freshmen seasons. That has taken away almost 20 points and five assists a game total, as well as some of the promise for this season.
March Madness or Sadness: Looking like a glum March. One season after breaking through and making the Southland Tournament, the Cowgirls might have trouble wresting the last tournament spot away from Sam Houston.
Record: 3-9
vs. Division I: 3-9
High point: Nov. 29 vs. Texas Southern (W 57-52). The first win of the year, meaning Nicholls would not have to wait until February to get its first victory, as it did last season.
Low point: Dec. 17 vs. Southern (L 56-51). Should not have lost this game at home.
Spot on: Newcomers Ricshanda Bickham (15.7 ppg) and Alisha Allen (14.8 ppg, 6.1 rpg), a freshman, already have helped make this a better season than last.
Sore spot: The team is hitting only 26 percent of its 3-pointers and is getting out-rebounded by five boards a game.
March Madness or Sadness: Sadness. The Colonels have improved, however, and should not be a Southland doormat as they were last season.
Record: 7-6
vs. Division I: 3-6
High point: Nov. 27 vs. North Carolina State at Nashville (L 76-67). NSU shows it can hold its own with an ACC team when it plays up to potential.
Low point: Nov. 17 at Southern (L 71-52). Not just beaten, but blown out.
Spot on: Hitting 40 percent from 3-point range with six players knocking down at least 10 3s. When all players are hitting, that can be tough to defend.
Sore spot: Good on the perimeter, but mauled inside. The Demons are losing the battle of the boards by five rebounds a game.
March Madness or Sadness: NSU isn't looking like worldbeaters, but the Demons should beat most of the SLC East. NSU will be Katy-bound — madness.
Record: 3-8
vs. Division I: 3-8
High point: Nov. 20 at Centenary (W 74-49). Not that Centenary is some kind of power, but to deliver this kind of beating on the road is very impressive.
Low point: Dec. 5 at Rice (L 82-62). The Bearkats have lost a variety of games by sizable margins. While those are more excusable when the teams are Arkansas, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, it is less so against the Owls.
Spot on: A solid, challenging schedule. If the team retained its confidence, SHSU could be in good shape.
Sore spot: The rebounding margin numbers (minus-10.1 a game) likely are inflated because of the competition, but the Bearkats' 25-percent 3-point shooting will not open up many defenses.
March Madness or Sadness: Madness, as the strength of schedule cannot be ignored. SHSU has absorbed some beat downs, but the guess is it will pay dividends with a seven or eight seed in the SLC Tournament.
Record: 6-7
vs. Division I: 3-7
High point: Dec. 5 vs. Louisiana-Lafayette (W 62-58). After early-season struggles, this began a four-game winning streak for SELA.
Low point: Dec. 22 at LSU (L 72-27). This blowout was worse than losing to Savannah State. Losses to big-conference teams are to be expected. Scoring only 27 points is not.
Spot on: The Lions might only be shooting 30 percent from 3-point range, but so are their opponents.
Sore spot: Against Division I competition, SELA is averaging only 52.7 points a game.
March Madness or Sadness: Madness likely. Eight of 11 eligible teams will make the postseason. Count the Lions in as a seven or eight.
Record: 5-6
vs. Division I: 5-6
High point: Nov. 14 vs. North Texas (W 81-51). SFA establishes itself early in the season with a rout of its in-state Sun Belt rival.
Low point: Dec. 2 at Texas A&M (L 106-56). A&M can hand out a good beating but, for one of the league favorites to get clocked like this, the margin was a little unexpected.
Spot on: The Ladyjacks have forced almost 28 turnovers a game.
Sore spot: SFA's four-game losing streak is not the way to enter league play.
March Madness or Sadness: Still the favorites in the SLC East, so there again will be madness for the Ladyjacks.
Record: 5-8
vs. Division I: 5-8
High point: Nov. 13 vs. Rice (W 81-64). It seemed like a promising start to the season.
Low point: Nov. 27 vs. Prairie View at Lubbock (L 65-58). Getting routed by Big 12 teams is one thing, never having control against a SWAC team with a losing record is another.
Spot on: The team is 2-1 in homes games, but the problem is UTA has not been home in 46 days.
Sore spot: The Mavericks have not won back-to-back games this season, and the 3-point shooting has been off.
March Madness or Sadness: There still will be madness. It just might not last as long as it has the past few seasons.
Record: 6-7
vs. Division I: 5-7
High point: Dec. 20 vs. Arkansas at Las Vegas (W 71-55). Proves UTSA still is dangerous enough to take down a BCS league team.
Low point: Dec. 7 vs. Houston (L 74-53). Showed the pains of rebuilding. Losing to a team of Houston's caliber isn't bad. Getting run over is.
Spot on: The Roadrunners didn't back down, playing a taxing schedule. UTSA stayed in almost all its games, portending good things for the team come SLC time.
Sore spot: The Roadrunners have yet to show they can be consistent from long range, shooting 30 percent on its 3-point attempts.
March Madness or Sadness: More madness. This might not be the best UTSA team of the past few seasons, but it should be in the SLC's upper tier.
Record: 4-7
vs. Division I: 0-7
High point: Nov. 13 vs. Texas College (W 100-42). All wins have come against non-Division I teams, including a double OT one over Huston-Tillotson. Not good.
Low point: Jan. 2 at Baylor (L 99-18). The score is terrible enough, but making ESPN's SportsCenter because a woman dunked all over the team definitely is not the best national exposure.
Spot on: At least the team is 4-1 at home, though it is 0-1 against Division I teams at home.
Sore spot: Name it. Haven't beaten a Division I team. Barely beat one of its D-IIs. Losing by 81 at Baylor.
March Madness or Sadness: The sadness might have started early. Looks like a long season for what is usually one of the SLC's top-tier programs.

US State Department travel warnings do not mean that it's a place where the government may not be favorably disposed to the United States. Instead, the United States' State Department issues these warnings because for a variety of reasons it may not be safe to travel in those areas. These reasons include, but are not limited to, natural disasters (like the Myanmar cyclone or the China earthquake) civil unrest, war.
The US State Department keeps an updated list of travel warnings. Here's some information from their website:
What Are Travel Warnings, Country Specific Information & Travel Alerts?
Travel Warnings
Travel Warnings are issued when the State Department decides, based on all relevant information, to recommend that Americans avoid travel to a certain country. Countries where avoidance of travel is recommended will have Travel Warnings as well as Country Specific Information.
Travel Alerts
Travel Alerts are a means to disseminate information about terrorist threats and other relatively short-term and/or trans-national conditions posing significant risks to the security of American travelers. The TAs are made when there is a specific threat that cannot be countered. In the past, Travel Alerts have been issued to deal with short-term coups, violence by terrorists and anniversary dates of specific terrorist events.
Country Specific Information
Country Specific Information are available for every country of the world. They include such information as location of the U.S. embassy or consulate in the subject country, unusual immigration practices, health conditions, minor political disturbances, unusual currency and entry regulations, crime and security information, and drug penalties. If an unstable condition exists in a country that is not severe enough to warrant a Travel Warning, a description of the condition(s) may be included under an optional section entitled "Safety/Security."On limited occasions, we also restate in this section any U.S. embassy advice given to official employees. Country Specific Information generally do not include advice, but present information in a factual manner so the traveler can make his or her own decisions concerning travel to a particular country.
Here's the link to the US State Department Travel Warnings' page.

What to buy him for Christmas
The other half is always the most challenging when it comes to choosing Christmas presents. If you're struggling for ideas, take a look at some of the items we've put together for the perfect Christmas wish list for him.
For the fashion lover…
Even if he's a keen follower of fashion, we'd always recommend against buying him clothes for Christmas. What you choose may not be to his tastes and even if you're dead certain about something, it may not look as good on, as it does on the hanger.
On the other hand, you can't go wrong with a stylish bag or piece of luggage. Teals Boutique are a British company with a fantastic selection leather holdalls, like this vintage style piece. This is the perfect weekend bag, although it's equally good for using for the gym – so he's sure to get plenty of use out of it.
Shoes are another great option for the fashion conscious hubby, while still avoiding the risks associated with buying him clothing. We love the classic styling of these Paul Smith brogues, available to buy online from Cruise Fashion.
For the adrenaline junkie…
Looking for a more active present to impress him this year? These days you can organise everything from bungee jumping to sports car driving as a Christmas treat; although we can't imagine that anyone would be disappointed by the prospect of indoor skydiving!
Virgin offer indoor skydiving in a range of locations throughout the UK, as part of their selection of experience gifts. This a great activity to do as a couple and one that's sure to provide you with some lasting memories!
For the caveman…
If your other half is the sort of fellow who rarely indulges in some relaxation, you could really take him by surprise this Christmas with some male pampering.
You can go one step further than simply buying toiletries or a gift set. Why not book him in for a session at the local spa, where he can really kick back and relax? Red Letter Days have a wide range of manly MOTs, with everything from massages to classic Turkish shaves on offer. If it would never cross his mind to book himself up for a spa session, organising this as his Christmas gift can make for a pleasant change.
Sparkle and Shine This Christmas
It may be October, but Christmas Season is definitely just around the corner. As early as now, festive decorations are starting to make its way around the block. You can smell the cool breeze and yes, holiday is indeed here. Brightly lit decors like the famous Christmas Star, the famous Christmas tree, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and Santa Clause – just to name a few of my all time favorite. But none of this would be as spectacular as they should be, without the must have Christmas Lights. These multi-hued, sparkling LED lights make a dramatic effect on the decoration, basically makes everything around the house warm and beautiful.
I always decorate my home in and out during Christmas and I make sure that my Christmas lights are as dependable and charming as can be. I tried these pretty Indoor Battery Operated LED Fine Wire Snowflake Christmas Line Lights which I used to hang around my Christmas tree, and they are absolutely stunning. It created a wintry feel around my living room, which I love. Aside from the look, I liked that these LED lights use 75% less energy than the usual bulb which eases on my electric bill. Now with the outdoors, I found these Durawise Battery Operated Christmas Line Lights in Cool White that I use in my front lawn or in the garden looking like sparkling little fire flies. What I liked about these, aside from the fact that they are energy saving, is that it comes with a timer which automatically turns on or off after a couple of hours, 6 to be exact. So I don't have to worry about my homes safety from overheated or faulty wiring which causes fire.
Since I am not to be outdone this Holiday Season, I have placed a couple of Outdoor LED Standing Reindeer Light in white as well as an Indoor Battery Operated Pre-lit LED Glitter Standing Deer in Gold standing in my doorstep. They look so magnificent with the glistening White and Gold lights all over their body. All these I have found in an online website, alongside the others I mentioned above, for such an affordable price tag. And if you are not satisfied with what you've purchased, which I guarantee is impossible, free returns are accepted on selected items. I am so ready for Christmas and so is my home.

Administrator Leadership Assessment
Since our Administrator Leadership Program is competency based, it is only fitting to recognize that applicants entering the program already having some degree of related competence, through both academic and experiential learning. For this reason we
- ask prospective students to complete self-assessments on the Core Competencies
- work with the prospective student to develop a program of learning which complements their prior learning
- guide students in developing a "prior learning" section in their portfolio which documents that learning
An added bonus for you as a prospective student is that through doing the self-assessments you get a detailed preview of the knowledge content aspect of the program.
Self-Assessment on each SLC Core Competency should be completed when you enroll in the program. Doing this serves a two-fold purpose:
- establish a base line of your knowledge and skills,
- provide a detailed "preview" of the academic and practice content of the program.
In addition, for licensure only candidates your self-assessment on the Core Competencies, along with your transcripts provides important data for designing your individualized program. Including good rationale for your assessments provides important help in determining a program of study which complements and builds on your present knowledge and experience.
Prior learning must be documented in the "Prior Learning" section of your portfolio. As you complete the self-assessment it would be good to begin a list of artifacts you will use to verify your knowledge and experience.

Elizabeth Allen is one of my favorite faces to photograph.
I love her eyes and her jaw as well as her lithe body that is easy to direct.
I used three lights in this shoot. One with orange gels for the backdrop, one to light the model, and one to light the yarn.
