See the light.
Marketing would like for you to believe that speed is entirely hinged on weight. After all, anyone can make a wheel deep and light, but it takes real prowess, dedication, and genius to create a wheel with the aerodynamic profile of the Reynolds 90 Aero Carbon Clincher Road Wheelset. Simply put, empirical testing at A2 has proven that no other wheel matches the 90's low drag numbers or stability. The reason for this is simple. At Reynolds, speed is everything.
Now, we're going to be forward — the complexity of the Aero design is deep, but we'll walk through it together. To start, one needs to understand the prevalent ideology in aerodynamic wheel design, and to do so, we need to understand drag. What is it? Simply put, it's the restraining force that acts on the wheel when its direction of motion is counter to the free stream of airflow. Now, airflow near the surface of a wheel is turbulent by nature, and when it comes close to the rim surface, it becomes a turbulent boundary layer. This is the start of two kinds of drag, skin friction and pressure drag. Currently, wheel makers are attempting to harness the turbulent layer, reattaching it at the rear section of the rim. The reasoning behind this is that the system reduces pressure drag, but in return, the wheel sees gains in skin friction. However, this is viewed as a comprising trade off, as skin friction has around a ten-fold lower drag value than pressure drag.
To maximize this turbulent system, we've been seeing builders create a constant, rounded edge at the spoke face. For those attempting it, it's been viewed as a leap forward in design. However, Reynolds finds it to be counterintuitive. We'll explain. You see, the science of aerodynamics has developed almost as a case of supply and demand. As aviation technology develops, engineers are forced to develop more efficient airfoil designs, and these designs take the shape of what's called a NACA profile — think of a stretched out tear drop shape. In recent years, though, some wheel designers have started to view the NACA profile as insufficient to the aerodynamics of wheels. The reasoning behind this is that while an airfoil only has what are called a leading and trailing edge, the rim's shape requires a trailing edge to double as a leading edge. Thus, we see the wide, rounded spoke faces of today. However, given that these systems rely on turbulence, Reynolds views this development as a step back from the proven designs of the airfoils that smooth turbulence. And this is just what the Aero 90 does with what Reynolds is calling, Dispersive Effect Termination (DET).
Starting at the rim bed, the Aero 90 features an ultra-wide maximum width of 26.2mm. As a clincher, this eliminates the drag-increasing balloon effect caused by a tire being wider than a rim. Now, the tire width matches the leading edge of the rim, creating less turbulence at the airflow's introduction to the wheel. The benefits to this design are fourfold — it delivers an aerodynamic benefit, it increases lateral rigidity, it also increases comfort, and it decreases rolling resistance. Moving down to the spoke face, the Aero 90 is shaped in a NACA-profiled, tapered V-shape that ends with a sharp trailing edge. This is where Reynolds starts to challenge the status quo. Basically, the Aero's shape actually smooths airflow over the wheel, and when that air passes the spoke face, it's easily reattached at the rear of the rim. So, the Aero places a focus on mitigating turbulence, not accepting it. In fact, testing performed at the A2 Wind Tunnel shoes the Aero experiencing less drag in watts at 30.75mph, at every conceivable yaw angle (0-18 degrees), then any offerings from Zipp, Enve, HED, and Easton.
So, with DET, drag is greatly reduced. However, Reynolds wasn't content with just this. In fact, Reynolds views the aerodynamic engineering of wheels as a four-part structure. 1) The wheel must be lightweight, yet structurally sound. 2) It must reduce turbulent airflow in order to create a low-drag system. 3) The aerodynamic efforts cannot compromise the steering and handling of the bike. 4) The wheel must generate an aerodynamic advantage from its lift-drag-ratio. Not surprisingly, one wheel rarely encompasses all of these traits. In fact, we find that article numbers Two and Three actually tend to contradict one another — think of a disc wheel. However, at around 18750 grams, and with the lowest drag system on the market, the Aero 90 accomplishes all of the above harmoniously. But, to solidify this, let's get into requirements three and four.
This brings us to DET's most impressive characteristic, handling. In relation to the bearing, it's rare to have a real-world circumstance of a straight 180 degree head wind. In reality, you spend 95% of your riding time between 0 and 20 degrees of yaw with a wind angle anywhere from 0 to 100 degrees in relation to the bearing. Accordingly, DET places a focus at improving handling while side force is acting on the wheel. To do so, the DET rim shape pushes the center of pressure forward, beyond the center of mass (hub axle center), for a more stable steering force. For reference, the Firecrest's center of pressure is a little behind the center of mass. But, in the case of DET, the lift and drag vectors are accordingly shifted into a favorable position that extends the range of lift, and as a result, it delays aerodynamic stall (the point where the drag vector is larger than the lift vector) in order to achieve a larger "sweet spot." Why is this important? Well, it creates a more predictable sense of handling, conserves watts, and requires less steering force from the rider. Additionally, the DET shape prevents stall at angles before 20 degrees of yaw, while most competitor's offerings experienced stall between around 12.5 and 14 degrees of yaw. This means that the Aero's handling 'sweet spot' is extended to a window of 7.5 degrees higher than the competition. You'll also find that DET's center of pressure maximizes the forward thrust vector (a quantity that has direction and magnitude), while the rim shape increases lift and decreases turbulent flow. So, the effective lift-to-drag ratio creates a forward thrust that, basically, requires you to exert less watts to propel the wheel forward. Essentially, this system works almost like a turbine that feeds off of the wind.
With the Aero, Reynolds also addressed an all-too-common ailment to carbon wheels — poor braking. The solution was found through the development of what Reynolds calls its Crynogenic Glass Transition Braking System (CTg). Essentially, this is a patented braking design that required both a redesign of the brake track laminate and pads. Accordingly, CTg uses a temperature-conductive laminate at the brake track's transition points that withstands higher levels of heat than typical carbon laminates (around a 100 degree dispersion). And when paired with Reynolds' polymer Cryo Blue brake pads, braking becomes more predictable and requires less finicky feathering on fast descents.
The Reynolds 90 Aero Carbon Clincher Road Wheelset is available in the color Black with White labels and in a clincher configuration. Please note that the rear wheel is offered with a Shimano 11-speed freehub compatibility. Also, every wheelset includes two pairs of Reynolds Cryo Blue Brake Pads. Reynolds strongly recommends only using its proprietary pads, and the use of any other brake pads will result in a void of your warranty.
- Reynolds' deepest road and triathlon rim in the Aero family
- CR6 construction provides a solid, reliable platform
- DET rim shaping results in stable aerodynamics at wide yaw angles
- CTg braking surface and Cryo-Blue pads for safe, consistent stopping power

How do you change the tube when you have this Wheelset on?
Great question, easy solution. These wheels will operate just like any other clincher wheel. The difference lies in the fact that you will have to use a valve extender. This will extend the length of the valve to pass through the deep dish wheel design.
Any valve extender will work, and can easily be swapped over if you need to change the tube during a ride

Clean Energy Victory Bonds in Clean Technica
CleanTechnica, the number one site in the US for clean tech news, recently published an article by Green America's Matthew Jennings, touting the benefits of Clean Energy Victory Bonds. It focuses on the importance of extending the Production Tax Credit (PTC) and how devastating it would be to wind power companies and workers if it were to expire at the end of this year. The US would lose thousands of manufacturing and installation jobs, which would put the US even further behind in the clean technology race. Wind manufacture and installations have been booming in the past 5 years, but without the tax credit, all of the investments put into developing this vital clean energy industry would be in peril. The post also questions the prevalence of subsidies for pollution-filled energy industries like coal and natural gas, when we are literally starving innovative energy solutions like wind and solar. Matt argues that Clean Energy Victory Bonds would shift the focus away from fossil fuels and toward natural energy resources that are free and abundant.

Hollywood faces an ongoing British invasion, with English, Scottish, Irish and even Australian actors
Will Poulter stole the show in the made-in-Wilmington road comedy "We're the Millers," playing a quintessential American teen nerd.
Which was a pretty good trick: The 20-year-old Poulter was born in the Hammersmith section of London and has spent most of his career on stage and screen back home. (Before "The Millers," you may have spotted him in "Voyage of the Dawn Treader," the "Narnia" sequel filmed in Australia.)
Poulter's not alone. Hollywood faces an ongoing British invasion, with English, Scottish, Irish and even Australian actors adopting American accents and passing as Yanks (or, occasionally, good ol' boys, as the Brit Eddie Redmayne did in 2011's locally filmed "Hick").
Christian Bale, born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, did three turns as the all-American Batman and played a cowboy in "3:10 to Yuma" – not to mention taking the title role in "American Psycho." Bale also tackled a tough south Boston accent for the indie film "The Fighter."
Robert Pattinson, who's played Edward the vampire in the "Twilight" movies and an American kid who joins the circus in "Water for Elephants," is another Londoner. (Non-Muggles, of course, will remember he played Cedric Diggory with his own accent in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.")
Colin Farrell, a proud son of Dublin, Americanized his accent for such movies as "Horrible Bosses," "Miami Vice," "S.W.A.T." and "Minority Report."
Andrew Garfield, the incumbent Spider-Man, was born in Los Angeles, but lived in Surrey with his British mum from the age of 3. (At least his dad's American.)
And speaking of Harry Potter, Emma Watson (aka Hermione Granger) was panned for her faltering accent in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," although critics have been much kinder to her Americanization in "The Bling Ring."
Kate Winslet put on an American accent for "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." Australian Cate Blanchett gave a near-perfect impersonation of Katharine Hepburn in "The Aviator."
Speaking of Australians, don't forget Anthony LaPaglia from Adelaide, best known as crack FBI agent Jack Malone in TV's "Without a Trace." LaPaglia starred or co-starred in five different Wilmington film and TV productions, always with a word-perfect American accent. (This includes a turn as former N.C. State basketball coach Jim Valvano.)
I could go on, especially if I talked more about television. Tim Gray, editor-in-chief of Variety, has talked about a whole "'House' syndrome," referring of course to Oxford-born Hugh Laurie's Emmy-nominated run as America's favorite rude, brooding medical genius.
This has been going on for years, of course. After all, the two prototypical Southern women's roles in filmdom – Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind" and Blanche DuBois in "A Streetcar Named Desire" – were both played by an Englishwoman, Vivien Leigh.
But lately, there just seem to be more Brits about. This past year, Carey Mulligan from Westminster played ex-Kentucky deb Daisy Buchanan in "The Great Gatsby" (filmed in Australia, by the way). And Daniel Day-Lewis, the son of a former British poet laureate, took home an Oscar for playing an American icon in "Lincoln."
The trans-Atlantic route does run both ways. Renee Zellweger from Katy, Texas, played the iconic British bird in "Bridget Jones' Diary," and the veddy English author Beatrix Potter in "Miss Potter." Annette Bening played a British stage diva in "Being Julia." Glenn Close switched accents as well as gender identities for "Albert Nobbs." And Meryl Streep, of course, won an Oscar for impersonating Margaret Thatcher, accent and all, in "The Iron Lady."
Count up the scores, though, and in this exchange one has to say the advantage goes to Britain.
What's going on? British-born director Stephen Frears ("The Grifters," "The Queen," "High Fidelity") told USA Today he thinks it's because British actors get more chances to work in theater, which forces them to focus on fine points of craft.
Others point to national differences in drama training. Most American programs tend to emphasize some version of "The Method" which puts a premium on sense memory and emotional verisimilitude. British drama schools, such as the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, tend to put heavy emphasis on voice training.
The result? America produces more Brandos, but Britain produces Gary Oldmans, actors who can disappear into a character's skin.

Don't wait to be leaders, USC grads urged
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
The University of South Carolina's new graduates were encouraged Saturday morning to give back to the state what it needs the most – leadership.
"We want your leadership," said commencement speaker John Gardner, an educator who made USC an international leader in improving students' first-year experience. "This is what we have been preparing you for. This is what South Carolina most needs – developing and developed new leaders, educated and shaped by the Carolina experience. This is how we will measure our effectiveness in whatever we do."
Speaking to degree candidates from all eight USC campuses at the Colonial Life Arena, Gardner praised Carolina President Harris Pastides for making leadership a signature emphasis of his presidency, and for doing "everything he can for our university to produce future leaders."
"All of you do not have to wait to be leaders. You can go forth now and be leaders in your new work settings. Let them know where you were a student," Gardner said. "You can be leaders in your graduate school programs, in your neighborhoods, in your churches, in your military careers, anywhere."
"My time at USC has been unforgettable – the best four years of my life. I have a better future because of the education, the friends and the experiences I had here."
- James Tundidor Jr., Summer 2012 international business graduate
The university awarded 1,502 degrees to baccalaureate, master's and professional-degree recipients at the Saturday (Aug. 4) morning ceremony, including 1,092 from the Columbia campus.
Marlena Mills Smalls, founder and director of the Hallelujah Singers, a nationally known touring group whose performances have helped draw attention to the Gullah culture of the South Carolina Sea Islands, was awarded the honorary degree of doctor of music. Gardner, the former director of USC's University 101 program and founder of the National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition, received the honorary degree of doctor of education.
In his commencement address, Gardner encouraged the graduates to give thanks for everyone who helped raise, love and support them along their path, and urged them to take steps to improve any frayed relationships.
"Students, if you have any major outstanding differences with your parents, family or spouse, this is a great transition time in your life to take the initiative to work that out. Make your peace with them before you no longer have the opportunity," Gardner said. "What we need in this country is more peace."
For students in the Colonial Life Arena, Saturday morning's ceremony marked both an ending – and a beginning – of their journeys.
Morgan Henley, who earned her degree in political science from the College of Arts and Sciences, will be heading to the Czech Republic to study languages.
"I studied abroad my junior year and fell in love with the country. I'd like to work with the U.S. government and the Czech Republic government," said Henley of Jacksonville, Fla.
James Tundidor Jr. was graduating magna cum laude in management science and international business from the Darla Moore School of Business. Tundidor, of Hialeah, Fla., has landed a job with an import-export business.
"My time at USC has been unforgettable – the best four years of my life," he said. "I have a better future because of the education, the friends and the experiences I had here."
Kenya Bryant
Kenya Bryant has been employed as the assistant executive director with the Richland County Recreation Commission while he pursued the master's in public administration degree he earned Saturday.
"My classes have been perfectly in tune with my job. I deal with management, strategic planning, human resources," he said.
Jenny Ramsey earned her bachelor's in nursing from USC Upstate after a "challenging" spring. She worked full time as a nurse on a medical-surgical floor at East Cooper Medical Center in Mount Pleasant, S.C., took a full load of courses online and she is expecting a baby in October. In response to those obstacles, she earned a 4.0 grade-point average for the semester.
"It's been challenging," she said. "But it's been great."

A whipped cream icing would deflate and get watery if you added too many powdered almonds. A stabilized whipped icing like Wilton's Vanilla Whipped Icing Mix would be great for adding powdered almonds because it is strong enough to hold the extra weight. You don't have to worry about it melting either, and it tastes great.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Checking in was very efficient. The internet service was OK before but not as good now, because you cannot connect automatically and have to wait for a voucher to be sent to your room and signed.
I like every thing about it , from staff , cleanliness , perfect location for business transactions. I felt safe the whole time of my stay. It's kind of pricy , but reasonable as considered best hotel of Davao city .
Staff was great, food was great, rooms and facility were luxurious. Pool was nice - rules were relaxed for kid hours specially when we were the only ones in the pool! We found a pair of socks stuck behind our TV
Staff Attitude, specially during the checkout was very rude and not very bad
beach n/a
Nice hotel in nice location. Poor quality staff. They lost two orders for food and drinks and getting a bucket of ice delivered to the room was impossible. Very disappointed for a high end hotel. I will go somewhere cheaper next time because this Marco Polo isn't worth the extra money.
Everything. Great location. Great staff. Great value. Staff is very accommodating. When I was sick with flu and coughs I got a free room upgrade. Purchase the buffet with your reservation. Buffet is great. This hotel is the nicest of all four stars in Davao. Lobby is too cold. The afternoon lobby buffet is a joke. Make it better. Keep up the good job.
Breakfast buffet was good, but expensive. Relatively close taxi ride to several tourist sites. Friendly and helpful staff. Gym was too small and cramped. Heavy traffic all around the hotel, most of the time.
Our stay was quite satisfying. The staff were very hospitable and helpful.Dining was delightful and we enjoyed listening the the singer at the Lobby Lounge, specifically on Thursday evening, July 29, 2010 who accommodated us with old favorites sung softly. The bathroom is not suitable for senior citizens like my wife and I who are in our mid seventies. Stepping into and out of the bathtub is a risky adventure.
Location is great where you just have to walk to SM store. Shopping and restaurants are all within walking distance.
I liked Davao, it is a large city with a lot to see and do. As an American visitor, I admit I got a lot of looks that made me uncomfortable, so I recommend you stay on your toes and be aware of your surroundings and use higher than normal precaution when moving around in the city. Still, most people are friendly and polite. The costs are very reasonable in Davao, (even in the SM Lanham Mall which is connected to the hotel), especially when compared to Manila. There are a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and great places to eat in Davao.One of my favorites was the Giardino Gelato stand at the mall. I ended up stopping by there every day while in Davao and trying a new flavor.
The room was small. No fridge, microwave, no phone to even call front desk. The room was very bare. I stayed 4 nights and one day they made the bed and didn't even change our towels. The air con wasn't even changeable. It was set either 17 or 19 degrees. So either too cold or too hot when you turn it off.
they were very friendly and courteous I was there for 11 nights we treated by girlfriend's girlfriend for lunch buffet the second day we were there her girlfriend got diarrhea after being there 11 nights I got diarrhea the last five nights and my girlfriend had it for 2 nights probably from the food at the breakfast buffet
The room was very clean, the bed was perfect, and the wifi was flawless. The noise from weddings was over the top and intrusive. The restaurants were about double the price of eating off property. The shower was a bit run down and the sink took too long to get hot.
Hotel is I think oldest in Davao... no elevators and most of the AC units in room do not work. They changed our room even then they said hotel infrastructure is old and cannot take the load. We had 5 rooms... all of the AC units in deluxe rooms were horrible and rooms were hot. One of the room was executive suite and AC unit was working good., so book only suites here. Hotel staff was excellent and accommodating though. Rooms were hot, AC units were good for nothing, that made our stay really bad.
Location very good. Food very good. Veiw was good Showers could be a lot hotter. And somethings seamed more expensive then other. Like the buffet was very expensive and laudray service seemed a bit expensive.
The staff was great, the food was great, the rooms were spotless and big. We stayed 9 nights and were there over Valentine's Day and they set up tables outside around the pool, brought in a singer to sing love songs, they brought in an outside Chef to cater it, not that it was necessary because their Chef is great. I hated to leave, I wanted to stay there forever. I loved everyone working there. They really care about you, even the guard would smile and say good morning or good evening to you every day. I will never stay anywhere else ever again when I visit the Philippines, which is 1 to 2 times a year. This place is an absolute gem. I hope the staff reads this and knows how incredible they truly are...thank you for the asbsolutely wonderful stay. When I had to leave these terrific people and come home...lol...it felt like I was leaving family.

The Beautiful Songbirds Outdoor Clock
By "Sheriff"
from Mid Vermont
Because ofT the weather I have not set it up outside yet.However, I do have it up and running indoors and it keeps excellent time but I question the chirping of the birds loudness. At this time I do not think I will be able to hear the birds more than 10 feet from the clock. Time will tell, The size of the clock is just fine and I like the style very much.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. We advise you to place the clock in an area that receives a lot of light, as this is where the bird sounds will be the loudest.

Serenading Songbirds quite lovely
By DollyBlitz
from Jersey City, NJ
I purchased this clock for my husband (he LOVES clocks lol) and he is mostly very happy with it we have it on display in our living room along with 5 other clocks and it definitely holds its own against them. His only complaints were 1) it was very difficult to open back and one of the plastic pins snapped 2) the song birds could be a bit louder.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: Thank you for your feedback. We advise placing the clock in an area that receives a lot of light as this is where the sounds will be the loudest,

Excellent design
By Arp.
from St Augustine, FL
It say's it's for outdoor use, but you can not hear the birds unless your ear is right next to the clock!
Very nice looking at least.......but........
By Rick
from Santa Rosa, CA
I really liked the design, size and mounting arrangement. As for the birds chirping on the hour, I doubt a cat could hear it from 2 feet away. The idea that a light sensor quiets this at night is a fine idea but it has to be loud enough to start with. I used fresh batteries and had it in the sunshine. No help. I had ordered two and both were the same so they were sent back.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

By ricky racer

Outstanding customer service!!

Your customer service is the best I have ever had the opportunity to deal with. My original clock did not keep time, had to reset it almost every day. I had already thrown away all my paperwork but you still replaced the clock at no cost to me, and the new one is working fine. A big kudos to you!

Does not work
By JK
from north carolina
Very hard to install batteries- clock would run intermittent- did not appear it was really intended for outdoor use- sent it back
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: To install the batteries, open the clock case by releasing latches located at top right and bottom right side of case. Turn the handset knob to read 12:50. Insert batteries. Turn the handset knob to adjust to desired time.
Replacement performance is excellent as expected
By Chuck the reviewer
from The Villages, Florida
This item is special when it is working correctly. We have never experienced problems with keeping time however the bird calls each hour have at times been problematic.
It is a delightful clock!
By the gardener
from in mountains of Arizona
I love my outdoor clock. It is attractive and easy to read from a distance. It is fun to hear the birds sing their tunes on the hour. The only thing that I am disappointed in it is that the paint dulled.

Independent film, 'My Sweet Misery,' has ties to university
"My Sweet Misery," the award-winning independent film, features a director and several cast members with connections to the University of South Carolina.
Alumnus Matthew William Jordan directed the film, which kicked off Carmike's annual nationwide independent film series.
The film will premiere nationally Friday, Nov. 6, at the Carmike 14 in Harbison. It will also be shown Nov. 7, 10 and 12. Show times are 1:40 p.m., 4:20 p.m., 7:10 and 9:35.
Zach Hanks, a 2004 graduate of the university's master's program in fine arts, stars as Sam. Anna Chlumsky, famous for her role opposite Macaulay Culkin in the popular 1991 film, "My Girl," plays Chloe. Professor of acting Richard Jennings plays the role of Jake, and several other alumni have roles in the film.
"Several undergraduate students worked with the film," said Jennings. "It was fun being able to work professionally with my students."
The film, a mixture of dark comedy and character-driven drama, involves a man haunted by a past that is coming full circle in strange and surreal ways. Other broken eccentrics include his sociopathic brother and two mysterious women, one malevolent and one benevolent.
Gary Wolcott, also known as "Mr. Movie," reviewed the film for the Tri-City Herald of Richland, Wash., and gave it 4 ½ stars and wrote, "Outside of 'Star Trek' and Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds,' it will likely be the most fun you'll have in a theater all year." He also wrote that, "'My Sweet Misery' gives Carmike's series a nice jump start. It takes the boredom of the well-worn premise of marriage break-up to brand new places. Jordan's film puts a unique spin on dialogue, highlights the story with some inventive cinematography and one outrageous twist after another."
"My Sweet Misery" has already won the award for best cinematography at the Charlotte Film Festival and is the top selection at film festivals in Charlotte, Orlando and Southern California.

Smoking mothers
I am 6 months pregnant and so as my dear friend. I think I am just a few weeks ahead of her. I am very concerned because she is still smoking. How can this affect her baby's brain development? Also, is it true that she can have a miscarriage because of smoking?
Thank you for your help.

Smoking during pregnancy is detrimental to the baby's health. It deprives oxygen, essentially lowering the child's IQ and other elements of their brain development. It is also linked to a number of birth defects, low birth weight, stillbirth, high maternal blood pressure, and neonatal death. Parent's who smoke increase the risk of their baby dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome during the first year of life. They also increase the risk of asthma in the baby,
If there is anyway to do so, I encourage you to convince your friend to quit smoking. I know three women who smoked during pregnancy who have had serious complications as a result. One of these women had a stillborn, another had a baby born without any bones past the knee, and the last had a child with a congenital heart defect.

Hi concernedmomiya,
I am afraid I have to agree with mom2many that the affects of smoking during pregnancy, and around a baby or child, are serious. It would also be best for you to avoid being near to your friend when she is smoking as even passive smoking can have a negative effect on you and your baby.
If your friend has smoked for some time then it will be difficult for her to stop, even knowing the health consequences. Many midwives are able to put in place a 'quit smoking program' so it would be useful if your friend talked to her midwife about this.
Other methods to quit smoking during pregnancy include:
- attending a local support or counselling group
- hypnotherapy
- nicotine replacement therapy
- doing an activity to distract yourself when you get a craving
There is lots of support out there for pregnant mums as it is so important to stop smoking.
I hope this helps your friend.
Best wishes,

Hello, yes I am very much concerned about it. She won't listen because her first child was born in good health. I did try to convince her though that every child might have different situations. But then, thanks for the help. I will let her know about your advises. I just hope that its not too late to stop her.

I have a friend who went to an acupuncturist and had acupuncture treatment which helped her nicotine cravings. She was able to stop smoking when she became pregnant and she didn't smoke during the rest of her pregnancy.
Maybe it's not so much that your friend doesn't want to stop, but more that she can't see a way to free herself from the nicotine addiction.

While the causes of depression remain unclear, we are fortunate to have many approaches which have helped countless people regain their lives. As there may be many factors involved in why an individual is depressed I always do a thorough assessment. While I am not adverse to psychiatric medications I have concluded that their use for depression is questionable, albeit an option when combined with therapies such as Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Behavioral Activation, and Logotherapy. I have found that taking a holistic approach, tailoring the therapy to the client and their world, is the best approach to treating depression.

I help clients look at how past and current factors have led to their current depression. I have them change and/ or adapt their way of dealing with those issues in a way that allows them to feel better. I work with their primary physician and/or psychiatrist to determine if medication would be a helpful adjunctive therapy and if illnesses playing a role in the depression. I also teach clients ways to challenge their negative, distorted views of themselves and others to have a more positive and realistic approach to their lives.

Depression is the single most diagnosed problem in mental health. I believe it can be divided into two categories: situational depression and clinical depression. We all can experience sadness and changes in mood due to negative circumstances in our lives. I work with clients to examine the current issues, look into the past for previously successful solutions, and work toward implementing solutions in the future. Clinical depression is suspected of being genetically linked and found in families. It is usually triggered by a traumatic event which causes neurological changes. This is best treated with a combination of talk therapy and medication.

At length, satisfied with his efforts, Callaghan desisted, and pointed towards the "Meteor."
Then there's those bills of Callaghan's—but he'll not press hard when he sees we've money.
Before he could open it Callaghan struck him on the temple with his clenched fist.
By the by, I wonder what that fellow Callaghan meant by saying, 'He's one of them!'
I received a present yesterday of a saddle of venison weighing 40 pounds from Mr. Callaghan.
Callaghan will pick the pair of them up at Holmsley Station.
Slap off went both pistols like the clapping of a hand, and down dropped Mr. Callaghan with a ball clane into his calf.
Meldon watched him out of sight, and then turned to Callaghan.
"Steady on your helm, Callaghan," cautioned Whittinghame as the "Meteor" swung round the projecting bluff.
Then he became aware that Callaghan was watching him from the far end of the lawn.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Luckily for the artistically challenged, there's a whole crop of art studios that tout their abilities to turn finger-painters into pseudo-Van Goghs. And they encourage you to bring your own booze to swig while you make your own "Starry Nights." Some of the teachers at these classes have made us wish we just went straight to happy hour, but not the talented staff at G'Nosh, home of our favorite teacher, Margo. Margo doesn't roll her eyes when you decide to go another direction with that skyline painting and add the unfinished Museum Tower. No, she doesn't judge. She encourages creativity and fun, which is what a painting class that involves booze and cheese plates is all about.
With government support of the arts disappearing, public support of live theater is going strong at Dallas Theater Center. The 2010-'11 season, starting with Shakespeare's Henry IV and ending with The Wiz, was 51-year-old DTC's biggest-ever box office year. Patrons packed the house for Arsenic and Old Lace (performed at Kalita Humphreys Theater, DTC's first home). Cabaret, which reconfigured the 600-seat Wyly into a massive Berlin nightclub, had waiting lists for tickets. Artistic director Kevin Moriarty isn't afraid to challenge actors and audience, coming up with new shapes for the stage and seating for each new show at the Wyly. DTC also is a friend to theater students at SMU and Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, casting them in plays and creating internship programs in all areas of the company. Using more local talent every year, DTC again is the theater young and old Dallas actors aspire to work in and theatergoers count on for top-tier entertainment.
No one views Dallas in a better resolution than YouPlusDallas. Their videos are big, and they're gorgeous. They scroll right off the screen; often they crash our minuscule, puttering Observer HQ servers. Masters of the art of slow-motion and time-lapse, the cinematographers of YPD have found the newest way to make Dallas look badass. It's why blogs, like, ahem, ours, constantly feature their beautiful work. But that ain't the half of it. YouPlusDallas.com, which by the way is the most comprehensive new-media site on the subject of Dallas art and music (and is new enough to still be beta testing), has got enough great content to blow any blog out of the water. The best part? It's easy to navigate. No crap, this is important. From tabs breaking down Dallas neighborhoods to their completely fun "Videopinions" (where you can watch and add a response to the conversation) they know how to make a city look pretty and be smart about it.
@FakeSteveBlow would win this even if all the Twitter account did was establish #beansandwich as a trending hash tag in Dallas (which it did following Actual Steve Blow's reminiscence on the food item in his Dallas Morning News column). That said, the tech-savvy version of the saccharine columnist's personality that is @FakeSteveBlow is so very entertaining, if only because we like to think Fake Blow's tweets are the ones Actual Blow would post if he could. Some of our favorites: "Fuck this, what's it take to get a g-d Orange Julius around here?" (December 2010); "Jackie just showed me how to set up my Google alerts. I'll start with 'claptrap' and 'baloney.'" (December 2010); "See, the real answer's as plain and simple as a #beansandwich" (January); "Shit used to be cheap when I was a kid. Shit is expensive now and I am old. Roller coasters. [link]" (February); "Herpadurp. Derpaherpadurpy. Herp derp. Derp a merp. Merpy derperton. Dumpa doopa derp. Doopa herp. Derpahoop. Herpadurp." (March) "If you ask me, this government's been shut down since 1956!" (April); "Craig Watkins, 'diva DA.' Diva! Because he is prissy! My stars, I know how to coin a phrase. [link]" (July); "Jesus Christ, Gold Bond just turns to paste in this heat. Maybe it's time to try boxers." (August). We don't actually know who's behind the account, but if we did we'd rather eat a #beansandwich than expose them.
This year the Nasher's been home to modern neon sculptures, bulbous fiberglass works and approximately 9,000 golden balloons. Yes, it's been quite the year for the young museum with recent exhibitions including Statuesque, which featured sculptures from Aaron Curry, Rebecca Warren and Thomas Houseago, among other artists, and Sightings: Martin Creed, which was a mesmerizing display of thousands of balloons squished into one gallery space. The current exhibition, Tony Cragg: Seeing Things, features about 30 of the artist's most influential pieces from the past two decades and marks the first time the sculptor has shown his work in the United States since 1992. We love the intimacy of the Nasher and its garden spaces, plus it makes a great spot for a lunch date.
Last year, Meadows Museum announced a three-year collaboration with The Prado Museum in Madrid, and as part of the partnership SMU receives three important works from the Spanish museum. Earlier this year, El Greco's "Pentecost" was on display at Meadows, and currently the museum is hosting Jusepe de Ribera's "Mary Magdalene," curated by The Prado's Dr. Gabriele Findali. The partnership has also created a fellowship and symposium that are only furthering Meadows' reputation as a mecca of Spanish art. There's no better place to see the most prolific works of Spain's Golden Age of Art, not to mention a few cute sorority girls.

INTERVIEW: David Crosby on his first solo album in 20 years
Listen to David Crosby on iHeartRadio
Two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer David Crosby has released his first solo album in 20 years, Croz.
In a new interview with iHeartRadio, Crosby talks about how happy he is with this new solo album. He discusses working with his son co-producing, recording in Jackson Browne's studio (among other studios including his son's), having Mark Knopfler on first single "Whats' Broken" and having Wynton Marsalis also on album.
Crosby also talks about re-living his dark days with drugs and arrests after reading Graham Nash's recent autobiography -- but that Graham is his brother, no matter what. He also touches on the passings of Pete Seeger and Phil Everly.

Conservative Supreme Court Justices Scuttle Challenge to Warrantless Wiretaps
Jason Mick
February 26, 2013 4:24 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
"I am your judge, executioner, jury, executioner, jailer, and if necessary, your executioner." -Judge Dredd
While President Barack Obama (D) and the "conservative" majority of the Supreme Court of the United States -- Justices Antonin Scalia, John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Anthony Kennedy, and Samuel Alito -- have at times disagreed, they hummed a happy tune of harmony on Tuesday, silencing the voices of the President's "liberal" court colleagues. The conservative majority held ranks, voting 5-4 to
strike down
[PDF] a challenge to warrantless wiretaps.
I. Due Process? Not Always, Argues Supreme Court
Both President Obama and his Republican predecessor, President George W. Bush, argue that warrantless wiretaps are a critical tool to fighting the ever-present, nebulous threat of terrorism. They argue that in the
modern era due process is a defunct relic
that needs to be tossed aside to counter the grim face of modern reality.
[Image Source: Djibnet]
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation
National Security Agency
(NSA) both use warrantless wiretaps and
other warrantless information requests
to spy on Americans. The agencies have not published clear rules regarding when and how warrantless wiretaps are approved.
Normally the government needs a warrant to snoop on citizens, but now federal agents -- sometimes a single agent -- can arbitrarily file to monitors citizens' communications.
II. Yet Another Lawsuit Fails to Halt Warrantless Police State
There have been numerous lawsuits against warrantless wiretaps by civil liberties groups, which argue that the Constitution should not be tossed aside in the name of fighting "terrorism". However, these lawsuits have virtually all failed. The government has additionally granted immunity from lawsuits to telecoms who cooperate with its shadowy, Orwellian tactics.
In the latest lawsuit, brought by
Amnesty International USA
, Judge Alito dealt critics a harsh blow, writing in the majority opinion "[The plaintiffs] cannot demonstrate that the future injury they purportedly fear is certainly impending."
The conservative majority tossed an anti-wiretapping case. [Image Source: Flickr]
Justice Stephen Breyer blasted Judge Alito and President Obama's rhetoric, commenting, "[The harm] is not speculative. Indeed it is as likely to take place as are most future events that commonsense inference and ordinary knowledge of human nature tell us will happen."
U.S. Department of Justice
Solicitor General Donald Verrilli
argues that citizens have nothing to worry about in losing their privacy if they have nothing to hide. He counters Amnesty International and
American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU) criticism that the wiretaps could adversely affect journalists and lawyers by making them fearful of prosecution.
He argues, "[If a journalist or lawyer] took precautions, it would be because of a belief that (he or she) had to comply with an ethics rule, and the ethics rule would be the cause of (him or her) taking those precautions."
III. Bush, Obama, Romney, are All United on Warrantless Monitoring
Formally under the latest
FISA Amendments Act Reauthorization Act of 2012
(H.R. 5949) the government must suspect a U.S. citizen is talking with a foreigner in order to wiretap the conversation without warrant. Of course, such a claim could be made about virtually any conversation, as there's really no way of proving an agent didn't
be talking with a foreign citizen.
Marking the increasingly similar appearance of America's two ruling parties, both President Obama and his former presidential elections rival Mitt Romney supported warrantless wiretaps. Most Republicans (and Democrats) in Congress have also voted in favor of nullifying Constitutional protections and allowing the practice. Increasingly both parties are finding they have much more in common than they have to disagree about.
President Obama and his predecessor President Bush agree on many things, including that the federal government should be granted unregulated spying on its citizens.
[Image Source: WhiteHouse.gov]
Mr. Romney expressed a viewpoint narrowly in line with President Obama's plugging warrantless wiretaps in a recent interview (see below), stating, "If it means we have to go into a mosque to wiretap or a church, then that's exactly where we are gonna go, because we are going to do whatever it takes to protect the American people. And I hear from time to time people say, 'Hey, wait a sec, we have civil liberties to worry about', but don't forget... the most important civil liberty I expect from my government is my right to be kept alive."
In other words whoever won the White House, the outcome on warrantless wiretaps -- like many other issues -- was predetermined. The President would support the push to keep law enforcement activities unaccountable and unregulated. Both parties argue that citizens should just be happy the government is allowing them to live, as Mr. Romney puts it, by fighting "terrorism".
IV. Original FISA Aimed to Stop What Current Bill Does
The FISA mess, like many in the government is an interesting historical lesson in how the government can take what seems like a good idea and twist it to accomplish the exact thing that it was originally intended to prevent --
non-transparent and unaccountable wiretapping
The FISA was designed to eliminate Fourth Amendment violations, and was put in place in the wake of accusations that President Richard Nixon had used wiretaps to spy on political rivals. The act only allowed for warrantless wiretaps if one of the parties was "reasonably believed" to be outside the U.S.
The original FISA aimed to stop wanton warrantless wiretapping used by people like President Nixon to (allegedly) spy on his political enemies. [Image Source: DC Comics]
While well intentioned, perhaps the FISA left open the door to abuse by putting domestic surveillance mechanisms in place. While the bill criminalized abuse, with a penalty of up to five years in jail, it has been difficult to prove abuse allegations against ranking federal officials.
But for its flaws FISA did offer some protections for a while. But those protections were replaced with the precise thing the original measure was designed to block via the
PATRIOT Act of 2001
, which dramatically expanded warrantless wiretaps, and the
"Protect America Act"

Lab Theater explains dating for the 21st century in 'UP 2 D8'
The University of South Carolina Lab Theater will produce "Up 2 D8," a new play about dating in today's society as told through the eyes of women. USC is the first university and one of the country's first venues to produce the play.
The play will run Oct. 28-31 at 8 p.m. at the Lab Theater. Tickets are $5 and are available at the door.
In a series of monologues, 11 diverse women grapple with the meaning of dating and romance in the 21st century, from the promise and pitfalls of Internet dating, to biological clocks, dating as a widow and the self-help industry. The monologue form emphasizes isolation in the modern world, but the women's various independent struggles ultimately coalesce in a scene of unity and hope.
The cast features nine undergraduate theater majors, one graduate business student and one British exchange student.
Director Park Bucker describes the play as "a series of comic monologues delivered by a cross section of single women struggling with the modern challenges of dating in an online world. The play's final scene unites the monologuists as part of a TV talk show audience in which they discover the necessity -- and joy -- of personal interaction and communion."
For more information about this play and other Lab Theater productions, contact Kevin Bush at 777-9353 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Southern Nebraska was struck by a series of violent tornados. The largest tornado, an EF4 that struck the village of Hallam, had a vortex that was 2.5 miles wide—possibly the widest funnel ever recorded. It destroyed 95 percent of Hallam's buildings, leveled the high school's auditorium, and derailed a freight train with such force that the cars lay 20 feet from where they previously stood. One person was killed and 37 injured.

Saul has already beat Artem so not sure what he has to gain from that fight. Artem is legit and has proven he can KO people at any time. But Saul beat him fair and square.
If they were to fight again, i can only see Saul winning again, but being more dominant. Saul has continued to grow in each fight and he was very inexperienced when he fought Artem (3rd pro fight?) He is a completely different animal these days. (Obviously Artem has improved as well)
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get
Team Colosseum
I think people are missing the point of Artem being a FW... Saul wants to move to LW to fight LW's not FW's who havent dieted!
I think Artem is an awesome fighter and if his fight with Saul hadnt been in a 3ft cage it could have been his night and yeah I agree a re-match would be another great fught, but from what I know Saul wants to fight LW's now.
Re: the Lobov thing, the only reason anybody is interested in that is because it's been a pretty elusive fight to watch and because by several accounts people thought Artem had won it. If it was clear cut then no-one would be arsed really. Haven't seen it so can't comment on that other than hearsay.

Fatal Accident at Americade
A Clifton Park motorcyclist was killed Friday when he crossed into the oncoming lane and hit a van in an "S-curve" on the south side of Tongue Mountain on Route 9N, about 1.5 miles north of Padanarum Road, according to the Warren County Sheriff's Office.
Two others from Albany were injured as they rode into the debris field on Route 9N. The Warren County Sheriff's Office says the crash occurred at 1:20 Friday afternoon when John Avellino, 55, from Clifton Park was riding his 2007 Yamaha 1300 motorcycle and hit a 2005 GMC Savanna work van. He had gotten separated from the group he was riding with and a 2007 Harley Davidson motorcycle was also trailing and hit debris and crashed.
That driver, Keith VanVeghten, 57, and his passenger Mary Hoyle, 51, both from Albany, were treated at Glens Falls Hospital, authorities said.
Avellino was pronounced dead at the scene. The van's driver, Stephen A. Frank, 37, of Lake George was not injured. There is no indication that alcohol or drugs were contributing factors in the crash, according to investigators. No tickets have been issued.

Richard Anuszkiewicz
American, b. 1930
Primary Hue, 1964
Acrylic on canvas
167.6 x 167.6 cm (66 x 66 inches)
Gift of Richard Brown Baker 72.098
Richard Anuszkiewicz was one of the originators of the Op Art movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Like his mentor, Josef Albers, Anuszkiewicz was a color theorist who created series of paintings exploring color properties within specific geometric forms. Primary Hue generates the optical illusion of nested squares of red, but in fact only a single red-painted ground underlies the radiating lines. The lines alternate color as they radiate, causing the red ground to appear to change color. As with much Op Art, this painting creates an impression by tricking the viewer's eye rather than actually representing what the eye sees.
