Maxtor, an American manufacturer of hard drives, was founded in 1982 and was acquired by Seagate in 2006. Just before the acquisition, Maxtor was the world's third largest manufacturer of hard discs. This review is of an external 320GB hard drive released under the Maxtor name.
I got an external Seagate hard drive from Amazon. The hard drive failed within the warranty period, so I sent it back, and Seagate sent me a refurbished Maxtor drive. I don't know whether it would make a difference that my drive is refurbished. I don't really think so. My motivation for getting an external drive in the first place was to expand on my internal storage. The idea of mobile storage appealed to me, as I could easily connect my drive to another PC or bring it with me to other locations.
This is a 3.5" external hard drive with 320GB capacity. In essence, because of how calculations of storage and formatting works, you'll end up with about 298GB of usable storage on the drive. The speed is 7200RPM and it has 16MB cache. These numbers are fairly standard for consumer drives. The better drives will have a higher RPM count and 32MB cache, but in this price class and for this consumer market, these values are fine and offer good performance. The drive connects to a USB2 port, and is backwards compatible with USB1.1, although the speeds offered by USB1.1 are ridiculously low. The USB2 standard limits the drive to a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s (~57 MB/s).
The hard drive enclosure of this drive is made of plastic. It does not feel particularly sturdy. I'm not worried it will fall apart, but it feels like there is not much protecting the hard drive inside the enclosure. I don't think it could survive much of a fall. On the subject of falls, it comes with a hard drive stand, so you can have it stand up sideways, theoretically taking up less space on your desk. However, the stand is easily knocked over if you are not careful, so I prefer to keep my drive on top of my desktop, laying down. There is no power button on this drive, so the only way to turn it on and off is to plug in and out the power lead for the AC adapter. You have to ensure to safely remove the drive from Windows before unplugging the power, to make sure you don't corrupt your files. There is a green light on the encoslure that blinks while transferring data. I'd say this has got to be the least study 3.5" external hard drive I have seen. The plastic enclosure does not inspire confidence in me that the drive can survive much of a fall at all.
Out of the box, this Maxtor drive is as fast and responsive as any run of the mill consumer market drive. One thing that does stand out is that it is very noisy, and I'm not even talking about noise while transferring data. The drive, while idle, makes a sort of deep bassy sound, like you might expect from an old refrigerator. I tend to keep my hard drives on during the night. After all, there is no power button on this drive. However, I found myself getting up after having gone to bed in order to turn off the drive, as it was making too much noise for me to sleep in the same room. It seemed to produce such low frequncies, that they travelled with the ground. It ended up with me plugging the hard drive out and just plugging it in when I needed specific files on it.
My long term experience with the Maxtor Personal Storage drive has been quite odd to say the least. In my experience hard drives tend to work fine, until they stop working fine, at which point they let out clicking noises and soon after die. Sometimes they jump straight to the die stage with no clicking noises first. With the Maxtor drive, it was working fine in the beginning, like any other hard drive. And it still works fine. Well, it depends on your definition of "fine". The drive has slowly deteriorated. Slowly it took longer and longer time for it to be recognized by my PCs, and currenly my desktop PCs don't recognize it at all, for some reason. I plug the hard drive in, and nothing happens. For some reason it always works with my laptop. However now it is starting to take more time for my laptop to recognize it as well. It used to be instantaneous, and now it can take almost half a minute. However, the drive itself, once recognized, works fine. It doesn't make clicking noises. I just made a backup of all my essesntial files from it over to another external drive through my laptop, so there is nothing wrong with the actual drive itself. It just seems like there is a weakness in the design of the interface.
I would not recommend this hard drive. It's too noisy, and over time it has become unreliable. On a whole, I have had a lot of negative experiences with Seagate as well, several of their drives failing for me unreasonably soon. The only brand I can stand behind 100% is Western Digital. I've also recently had a very positive experience with Iomega, although I'll need to keep it for a few years before I can vouch 100% for it. The Maxtor drive cost around £70-80 a few years ago, and can now be had for around £35 or so, although you would rather want to get a 500GB or bigger drive from another brand.
Having used computers for over 20 years for my work I never backed up my files as religously as I should have. Luckily I have never lost too much work from my computer, which cost much money to me and my business.
My daughter informed me of a storage device which is easy to use and at about £ 70 a very reasonable price.
I bought this storage device as a backup for my computer files, as I work from home my computer is used by the rest of the family for personal and internet usage. So I was worried that my work which pays some of the wages towards the house could get corrupted by mutiple users of the same machine.
I found that I needed to keep my work files backed up, but quickly, simply and efficiently. I have an 250 GB hard drive so in theory I can back up the whole of the drive onto my maxtors' drive it has a 300 GB capacity.
The rest of the Technical information which is only on the packaging as it does not have an instruction booklet it is that simple to use is as follows:.
The Maxtor has 16 MB Cache/7200 RPM
It can also store 230,000 JPEG photos or
21 hrs of DV video or 5000 hrs of MP3 music
obviously with the Maxtor can take combinations of each on it's huge memory.
It can be used on a Windows - compatible PC or laptop
The Size on the packaging is:
1.77 x 5.11 x 8.89 inches or
45 x 130 x 226 mm
To check this I have just measured my maxtor and the actual unit I have measures:
40 x 128 x 225 mm so it is only slightly smaller than stated which I think is a bonus as it is relatively tiny. The Maxtor fits on its on small stand which slides onto the bottom and is only slightly wider to enable the Maxtor to be self supporting.
The way I personally use it is to make an initial back up, this is then used just like "My computer", dragging and dropping files.
This way I can take the whole of each working programme that I use for my business and drag the file to the created file I created on the Maxtor.
I also drag "My documents" into the Maxtor. So this means I have two daily work programmes and all my office files either backed up daily or weekly. I prefer the weekly method.
When backing up, a tip is to put the date on the file so you know which your last backup was and you don't overwrite it, you then have the original files and the ones which you have been hard at work on safely onto a very good backup facility or very large flash drive.
Unfortunately you can't fit this one into a handbag or pocket although the unit is very light so there is not a problem should you need to use it in that way.
Before getting the maxtor I have lost a days work, as I wasn't a keen cd backer upper, this meant spending valuable time doing the same work again. So the Maxtor has saved me a lot of money and time and has soon paid for itself.
It is connected to your PC by USB 2.0 cables so is really simple. This is the best storage system that I have ever bought and would recommend it to all who need to save vital work.
My daughter is an artist and saves all of her work from corel and photoshop on this too.
Hope this helps you decide, please feel free to ask any questions and I will answer them, if I can, as soon as possible.
Thanks for reading.

ENGLAND: Jack Wilshere has suggested his recall into the England squad for this week's friendly international away to Sweden following a long injury lay-off may have come ''too soon''. The 20-year-old Arsenal playmaker has only recently returned following more than a year out but was selected for the friendly in Stockholm, to the concern of Gunners boss Arsene Wenger. Wilshere, who missed Saturday's Premier League match with Fulham after receiving a red card against Manchester United, told the BBC of his surprise at being chosen in England manager Roy Hodgson's latest squad. ''Maybe it is a bit too soon [to be called up] because I have only played three games since I have been back.''
Chelsea back in black
EUROPEAN champion Chelsea announced on Friday a profit of £1.4 million ($A2.16 million) for last year - the first time it has managed to finish in the black under Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich. The announcement of Chelsea's improved financial position - the previous year it lost £67.7 million - is timely given the looming introduction of rules by UEFA designed to ensure clubs in continental competitions break even. Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay said: ''Our club philosophy is built on success … The big challenge is always to have a successful team on the field that wins trophies and to make a profit at the same time.''
Sir Elton calls Celtic
SCOTLAND: When it comes to soccer, pop star Elton John may be a Watford fan but the sight of fellow chart-topper Rod Stewart crying in the stands after Celtic beat Barcelona prompted him to contact the Glasgow club. A tearful Stewart, a life-long Hoops supporter, was captured by television cameras among the crowd following Celtic's astounding 2-1 win over Barcelona in the Champions League. Amid all the praise for this victory, Celtic manager Neil Lennon said being contacted by John was one of the more surprising spin-offs. ''I had a lot of texts from people in the game which was fantastic but I got a call yesterday [Thursday] from left field from Sir Elton John believe it or not, congratulating me,'' Lennon said. ''I thought my missus was winding me up.''
No fight for Glory
AUSTRALIA: Adelaide United coach John Kosmina reckons soccer players sometimes have to win the fight and the ball. But he's adamant his A-League leaders won't try to fight fire with fire against Perth Glory's renowned aggression in Sunday's Hindmarsh Stadium encounter. ''You can only play a physical game if you have physical people,'' Kosmina said. ''Being physical is part of the game, sometimes you have got to win the fight as well as the football. But that is not our natural way. I don't mind players that compete physically, and that is what you have got to do … but no, we won't be taking a physical game to Perth.'' The third-placed Glory has a reputation for a hard edge to its game.
Adler gets recalled
GERMANY: Former first-choice goalkeeper Rene Adler has been recalled by Germany for the first time in two years. Adler, forced out of the 2010 World Cup with a rib injury and then last season after right knee surgery, was called up for Wednesday's friendly against the Netherlands in Amsterdam. The 27-year-old Hamburger SV goalkeeper last played for Germany against Sweden on November 17, 2010. ''I'm delighted Rene was able to get back to former strengths again after his long injury,'' coach Joachim Loew said on Friday.

30 years 'on the road' with Willie and friends
Making music never gets old for harmonica player Mickey Raphael
BY TERRY MATHEWS | News-Telegram Arts Editor
Dec 26, 2007 - After spending 30 years on the road with country music star Willie Nelson, you might think harmonica player Mickey Raphael would be ready to hang up his harps and stay home.
Well, you'd be wrong.
�I love my job,�� Raphael, 56, said recently in a cell phone interview from Nashville. � What a concept to get paid for something you like doing,��
In the spring, Raphael went on the road with Willie, Merle Haggard and Ray Price in the "Best of the Breed Tour," playing some 18 cities in 17 days and enjoyed being on stage with "real legends."
In October, Raphael pulled double duty at the Big State Festival in College Station, playing for reclusive musician Willis Alan Ramsey on Sunday afternoon and then closing the festival with Nelson that evening.
On Jan. 2, Raphael and Nelson will kick off the 2008 tour.
�We did 132 cities last year,� Raphael explained. �We're out for two weeks and then home for two weeks. When I'm home, I work on other projects, including some song writing.�
Raphael doesn't put much stock in his writing skills.
�I'm not good enough to write by myself,� he said, so he schedules time with the pros when he's home in Nashville. �When you book a writing session, you do it weeks in advance, especially with these guys.�
For the past three decades, Raphael's playing talents have been in constant demand. He's recorded with Vince Gill, Emmy Lou Harris, Neil Young, Leon Russell, Elton John and U2 – the band fronted by political activist Bono.
�Bono sent me a song many years ago to get to Willie. The timing just wasn't right,� Raphael said. �When Willie and I were in Ireland for a video, the video director was a friend of Bono's. We ended up being invited to his studio for dinner.�
As they were sitting at dinner, Bono asked Nelson why he had never cut the song.
Nelson told Bono he was waiting on him to produce the tune.
�It was just Willie and me and the four guys from U2,� Raphael said. �We went down to the studio and cut it. It was great playing with them. They're just wonderful guys.�
The song, "Slow Dance," was released in Europe and can be heard on iTunes.
Raphael recently laid tracks down for Ramsey's first CD in 35 years.
�I went to Nashville with Willis Alan when he cut the first album in 1972,� Raphael explained. �Neil Young was laying down 'Harvest' in the studio next to us. I really wasn't good, but I was efficient. We ran out of time, so I never got to play on that record.�
When Ramsey called Raphael to play on the new CD, he said, "Yeah. I don't care what it takes, I'm going to play on this one."
Raphael, a Dallas native, did not start out to be a country musician. In fact, he didn't really plan on music. He just knew he wanted to be in the arts.
�I played tuba in the high school marching band,� the 1969 Hillcrest High School graduate explained. �It got me out of P.E.�
In the early part of his career, he favored blues.
�I learned from Paul Butterfield, who was this wonderful blues harmonica player,� Raphael said. �I actually got to spend time with him before he passed away.�
He hooked up with B.W. Stevenson in the early 1970s. In 1973, former University of Texas football coach Darrell Royal invited him to a post-game party at a Dallas hotel.
It was there that Raphael first met Nelson. They shared a few musical licks, and Nelson invited the youngster to sit in with him again sometime.
As part of his country schooling, Raphael spent a lot of time listening to the legendary Charlie McCoy.
�Charlie McCoy's worked with everyone in Nashville,� Raphael said. �He was �the guy.� McCoy has played with Elvis, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan. There aren't that many harmonica players. He set the bar. There's really no one more talented than this guy. He's one of the reasons I'm playing.�
On his website, Raphael says, "When I joined Willie's band, I really didn't know anything about country music. I was a folk blues player. I just wanted to play in a country band and ride around in a bus."
After riding all over the country on that bus for over 30 years, Raphael has some good stories.
�I�ll write my book after everybody's dead,� he said when asked when he was going to put it all down on paper.�
He did share one story about his travels with Willie.
�We were headlining a large outdoor festival outside San Jos� [California]. A bunch of Hell's Angels who were at the pre-show party offered us a ride to the venue,� Raphael said. �Willie got on the back of one bike. I got on the back of another. When we got to the gate, the security guy stops us and tells us we can't go in. The front bike pulls up and says, �Well, this is Willie Nelson.� The security guy says, 'Yeah, sure it is.' Willie had to pull out his American Express card to prove it. The moment would have made a great commercial.�
Married for 10 years, Raphael also shared his secret to maintaining a personal relationship while on the road with the band.
�We leave after every show,� he explained. �We don't spend the night. We do the gig and go on to the next one. That way, there's no temptation. That's the deal.�
Raphael released one solo CD, "Hand to Mouth," in 1988.
�It was fun,� Raphael said of the experience. �Ben Keith, who played steel guitar for Neil Young and Patsy Cline, was on the CD with me.�
Raphael plays German-made Hohner harps, although he is open to trying new stuff.
What makes Raphael's work so special is that he never overpowers the vocalists or other musicians. If his tracks were taken off, however, the songs would lose their emotional impact. He's got just the right touch.
�Hand to Mouth� is available on www.cdbaby.com or from iTunes. For a complete discography and more information on Raphael, see his website:

Asian American Literature Festival: There Will Be Dragons
Nearly 90% of the books reviewed by the New York Times are written by white writers. In a scintillating performance debut, the AAWW Margins Fellows will play with language to drag the literary institution and each other. They may come in drag. Dragons will be provided on request.
Note: This event will not be at the AAWW Event Space in New York City.
The Asian American Writers' Workshop is the preeminent national arts nonprofit dedicated to the belief that Asian American stories deserve to be told. Our fellowships materially improve the lives of emerging writers of color through an innovative mix of re-granting, publication, and career development. Since 2010, we have contracted to pay $141,500 to 34 emerging Asian American writers. The Margins Fellowship incubates emerging Asian American creative writers, while the Open City Fellowship fosters Asian American nonfiction writers telling stories about inequality in low-income Asian immigrant neighborhoods in New York City. Taken together, these fellowships articulate our wide vision of Asian American writing as combining both excellent literary fiction and poetry and the stories directly from our community.
You can read more about our fellows here.
Jyothi Natarajan
is managing editor at the Asian American Writers' Workshop where she edits The Margins, an arts and ideas magazine featuring the work of Asian American writers, artists, and thinkers. She was previously an editor at the Caravan magazine, and prior to that worked in book publishing at The New Press.
Mariam Bazeed
began her life a statistic of economic expatriation in the Persian Gulf. A writer of prose, poetry, and thinly-disguised memoir, Mariam is currently pursuing an MFA in Fiction at Hunter College, where she is at work on her first novel-ish. She has been the recipient of the Hedgebrook Women's Writing Residency, the Marble House Writing Residency, the Helix Performance Network's NEEDING IT fellowship at the Brooklyn Arts Exchange, and has been a featured poet at the Bowery Poetry Club. Mariam's first play, PEACE CAMP ORG, debuted in a workshop performance at La Mama Theater in New York City. She was recently accepted into the 2017 class of the Hemispheric Institute's EmergeNYC fellowship for performance and politics. In her writing Mariam is concerned with themes of migration, death, death, also death, sickness, death, and the estrangements particular to love and family. Mariam is currently at work on a novel informed by her biography as a life-long expat. She is also at work on a collection of short stories set in Egypt during and immediately following the Arab Spring.
Rami Karim
is a writer and editor based in Brooklyn. Their work engages dreams, dissociation, and migration and has appeared or is forthcoming in Apogee, The Brooklyn Review, The Invisible Bear, and Peregrine. They are a member of Kaf, an art/publishing collective, and an MFA candidate in creative writing at Brooklyn College, where they received the Himan Brown, Carole Lainoff and Rose Goldstein awards in poetry. This year they will be writing stories, poems, and essays on diasporic life, beginning with a prose lyric set between 1970s Lebanon and present-day America.
Kyle Lucia Wu

She has studied at the eight-week fiction workshop at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, was a Byrdcliffe Colony Artist-in-Residence in May 2015, and is a PEN prison writing mentor. Kyle is interested in hybrid forms of identity, and the invisibility and confusion that accompanies it. She explores how to occupy an identity that hasn't been defined, and how society seeks to categorize individuals who don't fall cleanly into pre-established roles. The ways in which we constitute our identities across race, gender, and class are themes that drive her work. She is working on a novel about a mixed-race young woman who works for a wealthy white family, and how it refracts her own fractured background growing up between two families, between two races, and always as an outsider.
is a writer and critic based in Brooklyn. He currently serves as a senior editor at Nat. Brut, contributing editor at Foundry, and curatorial assistant at The Poetry Project. A recipient of a 2015 Poets House fellowship, his poems and criticism have appeared in Model View Culture, The Shade Journal, and cellpoems, among others. Yanyi's manuscript deals with self-documentation, intergenerational trauma, and how memory lodges itself in the body. His ongoing work explores statelessness—of gender, of nationality, of family—and how lyric, myth, and memoir may work together in its translation. He is accountable to joy, history, and community. In his fellowship year, Yanyi will play with and around language in archive, law, and pop culture. He believes that poetry should de-codify structures of power, and that no text can be safe from answering to emotional and historical experience.

Questions? Contact Tracy Wong at firstname.lastname@example.com
Darine Hotait
is the writer and director of various short films
Beirut Hide and Seek
(2011), and
I Say Dust
(2015), which screened at over 70 international film festivals and received multiple Best Short Fiction awards. Her films received prestigious distribution and were acquired by reputable platforms such as AMC Network, Sundance Channel, BBC Channel, Shorts International & The Journal of Short Films. Her debut science fiction feature film project
Symphony of a Flood
was selected at the International Screenwriters' Pavilion at Cannes Film Festival 2016 and was a finalist at the prestigious Hearst Screenwriting Competition at San Francisco Film Society. Her plays and short stories have been published in numerous publications in print and online. Darine has mentored over 50 screenwriting workshops around the world at various institutions and international film festivals. Since 2010, Darine serves as the founder and creative director of Cinephilia Productions in New York City, an incubator for the development of writers and filmmakers from the MENA region.
Praise for
I Say Dust
"The film's power and beauty comes in its subtlety. The story's intensity and potency lies in Darine's ability to sing cinematic brilliance in the interstices between scenes and to reveal more about the characters in their silence. The plot is unsaturated and always in dialogue with the audience: what is strategically unpictured by Darine is viscerally felt by the viewer." — Leena Habiballah, Qahwa Project, US
"The characters are complex, the writing – interspersed with poetry – is so touching, and the shots so poignant it just seems like a damn shame it's a short rather than a feature length film." — Wided Khadraoui, Kalimat Magazine
"There is romance, sweet and ephemeral - an encounter more potent, perhaps, for the sense of coming home. A thoughtful film which packs a lot of ideas into a tight space, I Say Dust speaks well to the talents of those involved. It's no surprise that it has multiple awards to its name." — Jennie Kermode, Eye For Film (Edinburgh)

(CNSNews.com) - The presidential election is long over, but for taxpayers, there is still some unfinished business: Some U.S. lawmakers -- including Sens. John F. Kerry and John Edwards -- received thousands of dollars in salary overpayments for being away from their jobs in 2003 and 2004, a taxpayer watchdog group says.
According to the National Taxpayers Union, an obscure federal statute that's still on the books requires lawmakers absent from Congress to forfeit their pay unless they or a family member are ill.
Congressional leaders have not enforced the law, and rank-and-file lawmakers are reluctant to comply, the NTU said.
"Members of Congress claim they follow the laws that apply to everyone else, but our research shows that many senators and representatives won't even follow laws that apply explicitly to themselves," said NTU President John Berthoud.
"Worse, taxpayers covered the bill for several Members of Congress who were trolling for votes at the polls instead of casting votes in Washington."
NTU said its study is based on missed-vote data from Congressional Observer Publications. The NTU analysis counted absences only if every floor vote was missed on any given day; and it says only lawmakers with more than 10 full days of absences were included in the report.
NTU said it has sent letters to lawmakers named in the study, asking them to review NTU's record of their absences, make any corrections, and inform NTU of how they intend to comply with the law.
According to NTU, the "chronically absent" list "is filled with presidential and vice presidential candidates," including Sens. John Kerry, (D-Mass.), John Edwards (D-N.C.), Bob Graham (D-Fla.), Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), Richard Gephardt (D-Mo.), and Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio).
House Members running for Senate seats also were also prominent on the list: They include Brad Carson (D-Okla.), Mac Collins (R-Ga.), Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), Pete Deutsch (D-Fla.), Joseph Hoeffel (D-Pa.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Chris John (D-La.), Denise Majette (D-Ga.), George Nethercutt (R-Wash.), and Patrick Toomey (R-Pa.).
From January 2003 to the October 2004 recess, John Kerry missed 146 days of votes without being granted leave, the NTU study shows. His total salary overpayment was $90,932.68, NTU said.
Sen. John Edwards, Kerry's running mate, compiled 102 days of unexcused absences during that period, for an overpayment of $63,543.16, NTU said.
Presidential hopeful Dick Gephardt's missed days cost taxpayers $81,362.53 in excessive pay. NTU also notes that Gephardt was absent for 85 of the 109 days that the House cast votes in the year 2003 alone. Combined with 2004, Gephardt had the highest unexcused absence rate in the House, at 131 days, NTU's analysis said.
NTU notes that 2 U.S. Code 39 requires the secretary of the Senate and the chief administrative officer of the House of Representatives to deduct congressional salary for days of unexcused absences. Although compliance has been sparse, it is not non-existent.
In 1971 Rep. Edwin Edwards abided by the "no work, no pay" law while running for Louisiana governor, NTU said.
"Incumbent politicians already enjoy too long a list of taxpayer-financed perks," Berthoud concluded. "Members of Congress and Congressional leaders should stop ignoring the no work no pay law and make compliance with it their first job duty, before another election cycle allows the shirking to begin all over again."
NTU is describes itself as a non-partisan citizen group working for lower taxes, smaller government, and more accountability from elected officials.

Citation: Dao, T.H., Miao, Y. 2009. Sensing Site-Specific Variability in Soil and Plant Phosphorus and Other Mineral Nutrients by X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry. Asian Conference on Precision Agriculture. Interpretive Summary: To attain optimal crop yields, phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N), and potassium (K), have become essential production inputs. Although significant progress has been made in real time management of N inputs, P sources have not received the same degree of scrutiny. Early emergence and uniform crop stand establishment is one of the most important yield contributing factors. Phosphorus is a critical nutrient for early seedling growth and a uniform application of starter P fertilizer is traditionally placed below the seeds at planting. However, soil P often is highly variable within a field and contributes to extremes in P availability that can be detrimental to plant growth and the environment. The problem is more acute in fields amended with animal manure, which is highly heterogeneous in composition. While numerous analytical techniques can provide the needed information, they differ widely in analytical sensitivity, labor, time, and the cost of chemicals used per analysis, and transportability, thereby on-site or on-farm analysis. With recent technological advances in material science, measurements of light elements with faint fluorescence, although difficult, are becoming more feasible. These light elements include many plant nutrients such as P, magnesium, calcium, and K. Because of the rapid and non-destructive nature of the analysis, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRFS) is adapted to both on-site and post-harvest laboratory analysis of soil and plant tissue samples. We found a number of significant advantages over prevalent wet chemistry techniques, including minimal sample preparation, rapid analysis times thus high throughput, multi-element detection, and on-site field use with portable analyzers for environmental studies as well as site-specific nutrient management applications, and the development of practices to minimize the footprint of agricultural production and laboratory chemical analysis on the environment.
Technical Abstract: Detection and rapid response to in-season changes of soil nutrient availability and plant needs with weather conditions and site-specific characteristics are essential to the optimal performance of an agronomic crop production system. With recent advances in material science, detector design and sensitivity, and improved sample-target-detector geometry, quantitative determinations of light elements with low energy fluorescence are becoming more feasible. The non-destructive multi-element capability of X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRFS) has been applied to obtain compositional data on soil and plant samples in two large-scale field studies of nutrient management and mitigation of nutrient losses to the environment. The objectives are to demonstrate the benefits of XRFS in achieving accurate and timely compositional information. Significant relationships between XRFS-phosphorus concentrations and indices of plant availability supported the role of such methodology as a real-time soil phosphorus and other mineral nutrient sensor for site-specific precision management of nutrient inputs. Thus, the technology has an essential role in increasing nutrient-use efficiency and crop productivity while reducing nutrients losses from the farm.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday said his chamber would take up legislation later this week to resuscitate several tax breaks that expired last year.
The package will likely be raised as an amendment to an expansion of unemployment insurance.
"At the end of this week, we're going to move into the tax extenders, and unemployment, COBRA, some things like that," Reid said. "I have explained this to the Republican leader."
Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.), who had called on his chamber to pass legislation extending the tax breaks that expired last year, praised the move.
"My gosh, these expired last year," he said. "We have to get them passed."
Baucus insisted they move "sooner rather than later."
The current extension of unemployment insurance ends on Feb. 28. Attaching tax extenders to that package would be the perfect enticement for Republicans to support the spending measure, said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.)
"They [tax extenders] need to be used strategically to get as many positive votes as we can on things like UI where we will need a Republican votes," he said.
Democrats have 59 senators in their conference. Reid needs 60 votes to extend unemployment insurance. But with Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg (NJ) hospitalized, Reid could need the support at least 2 Republicans to pass his UI/extender measure.
Still, not every Democrat is in favor of moving the extender bill before dealing with other measures that could help the economic recovery.
"I have a whole list of issues," said Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.).
Cardin prefers Congress broaden loan opportunities to small businesses before extending expiring tax provisions.
"I think it's important to get to the extenders package, but if I was to put my priority list I'd put unemployment insurance and cobra extension and small business tax credits next on the list," he said.
A tax extender package costing $31 billion was originally a part of an $85 billion jobs bill created by Baucus and Finance ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). But Reid chose to put that measure aside and instead vote on scaled-back jobs bill costing $15 billion. Tax extenders were deleted from that package.

Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 2, No. 2. Wednesday, 2 Jan 1991.
Date: Wed, 02 Jan 91 22:18:33 EST
Subject: Spinoff Films
For those still tracking Shakespearean spinoffs, especially
Laurence Schimel at Yale, here are a few cinematic ones I don't
believe we've mentioned, from a *Toronto Star* piece this past
Paul Mazursky's 1982 film, *Tempest*: "John Cassavetes
plays a disgruntled New York architect who decides to chuck
his life of luxury and move to a deserted, sun-splashed Greek
island with his teenage daughter (Molly Ringwald), girlfriend
(Susan Sarandon), and low-life servant (Raul Julia)."
Orson Welles' 1967 film, *Chimes at Midnight*, also known as
*Falstaff* (?): Welles "...manages to stitch together elements of
five Shakespearean plays.... Drawing heavily from *Henry IV,
Parts 1 and 2*, Welles offers a personal and highly
idiosyncratic look at Elizabethan England from its lighthearted
taverns to its back alleys of decay."

By default, mysqld produces error messages in English, but they can also be displayed in any of several other languages: Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Norwegian-ny, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, or Swedish.
You can select which language the server uses for error messages using the instructions in this section.
As of MySQL 5.5, the server searches for the error message file in two locations:
It tries to find the file in a directory constructed from two system variable values,
lc_messages, with the latter converted to a language name. Suppose that you start the server using this command:
shell> mysqld --lc_messages_dir=/usr/share/mysql --lc_messages=fr_FR
In this case, mysqld maps the locale
fr_FRto the language
frenchand looks for the error file in the
If the message file cannot be found in the directory constructed as just described, the server ignores the
lc_messagesvalue and uses only the
lc_messages_dirvalue as the location in which to look.
lc_messages_dir system
variable can be set only at server startup and has only a global
read-only value at runtime.
lc_messages can be set at server
startup and has global and session values that can be modified at
runtime; thus, the error message language can be changed while the
server is running, and individual clients each can have a
different error message language by changing their session
lc_messages value to a different
locale name. For example, if the server is using the
fr_FR locale for error messages, a client can
execute this statement to receive error messages in English:
mysql> SET lc_messages = 'en_US';
Before MySQL 5.5, the
lc_messages_dir and
lc_messages system variables were
unavailable. To start mysqld with a particular
language for error messages, the
--language or
option were used. The option value can be a language name or the
full path to the error message file. For example:
shell> mysqld --language=french
shell> mysqld --language=/usr/local/share/french
Specify the language name in lowercase.
MySQL 5.5 treats
--language as an alias for
By default, the language files are located in the
directory under the MySQL base directory.
For information about changing the character set for error messages (rather than the language), see Section 10.1.6, "Error Message Character Set".
You can change the content of the error messages produced by the server using the instructions in the MySQL Internals manual, available at MySQL Internals: Error Messages. If you do change the content of error messages, remember to repeat your changes after each upgrade to a newer version of MySQL.

Very friendly and accommodating staff, great location, rooms are immaculate. Internet was bad as advertised by previous reviewers. It didn't bother since I was on vacation and didn't want to use the internet but it should be a pretty easy fix. If I was there for business it would be a problem
Accommodating consistency, excellent architecture, beautiful ocean view, great hospitality from all staff members, good kitchen and drink menu to choose from, private setting, and a very nice overall stay without any unresolved issues to complete a worth while vacation. All inclusive option offered would definitely make this marvelous resort & spa a more attractive vacation package.
Loved the location and the pool and the pool bar/ restaurant! The servers at Aqua were fantastic ..friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back

Join us on Friday, September 28, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm for a reception celebrating the work of "El Emigrante de Hidalgo, México," the inaugural exhibit of the Vermont Folklife Center's new sales gallery featuring traditional and visionary art. Titled Imagines de mi Alma / Images from my Soul and curated by sculptor B Amore, El Emigrante's carefully composed landscapes, drawings, and sculptures invite the viewer to visit magical spaces where daily cares are left behind and to experience the peace expressed by a meditative heart.
The artist who calls himself "El Emigrante de Hidalgo, México," is a self-taught artist working in isolation in a country foreign to him, drawing on inspiration from his native Mexico, Vermont, and his inner vision. He is part of a long tradition of artists who exist out of the mainstream art world, who use found materials and their own ingenuity in creating works of art that are distinctive in their original approach.
El Emigrante was a featured artist in the Invisible Odysseys project, which was exhibited last spring in the Vermont Folklife Center's Vision & Voice Documentary Workspace. Invisible Odysseys, coordinated by B. Amore and implemented in conjunction with Susannah McCandless and Ethan Mitchell, brought art materials to Mexican workers on dairy farms in Addison and Franklin counties.
Other than offering materials and encouragement, no specific direction was given to the artist-workers who participated in the project. Rather, each artist was invited to use the materials to create a diorama that represented some aspect of their journey and experience. Prior to participating in this project, El Emigrante had never engaged in an artistic practice.
Additional programs related to this exhibit include: A screening of the prize-winning documentary "Los Que Se Quedan" / "Those who Stay Behind" on October 18; a Day of the Dead celebration hosted by Juntos of Middlebury College and the Addison County Farm Worker Coalition on November 3; and a book signing with artists from the Invisible Odysseys project on December 13.

|Immigration Information - Visa Renewal
Visa Renewal
IF my visa stamp on my passport is about to expire. Do I need a new one ?
If you are not planning to travel outside the U.S., you do not need a new visa. The visa that is stamped in your passport is for entry purposes only. Once you are in the U.S., your I-20 or DS-2019 and I-94 card become the active documents that permit you to remain in the U.S. You are allowed to stay for "Duration of Status" (the period of time you remain a student in good standing.) The date noted on your I-20 or DS-2019 as the expected completion date of your studies is the expiration date of your F-1 or J-1 status. This date can be extended through the Office of International Student Services if necessary.
Where do I apply for a new visa?
You can apply for a visa at the U.S. Consulate or Embassy in your home country when you go home for a visit. It is important to realize that some consulates require an appointment. Additionally, significant delays of three to four months are not uncommon. Background checks can cause more delays and be triggered by an arrest, coursework that appears in your transcript, or simply by your country of citizenship. If your visa will be expired at the time you wish to re-enter the U.S., check with the consulate or embassy to determine how long it is currently taking to process new visas by visiting the Department of State website.
What do I need to take to the Consulate in order to apply for a new visa?
You should be able to verify your ability to cover the amount indicated on your I-20 form. You will be asked to provide an affidavit of support, bank statements, a research/teaching assistantship verification letter, and/or a scholarship/grant verification letter. Proof of ties to your home country. This is a nonspecific item, but since you are applying for a non-immigrant visa, you may need to show that you intend to remain a permanent resident of your home country.
You can bring a letter offering you a job in your home country, letters from family or friends, evidence of ownership of property in home country, or copies of bank statements from a bank in your home country to the Consulate as proof that you have stronger ties to your home country than the United States.
Two completed Non-immigrant Visa Application Forms (Form DS-156 and Form DS-158) At least one standard passport photograph, and The Application and Issuance Fee.
There is a standard $100 visa application fee for all applicants plus an issuance fee, in some countries. Check with the Department of State to determine if you will be charged an issuance fee, also called a Visa Reciprocity Fee.
May I apply for a new visa within the United States?
Under most circumstances and especially after September 11 terrorist attacks, U.S. consulates will not issue new visas for non-immigrants. You must travel outside the country for a renewal.

Nvidia G-Sync: the Digital Foundry verdict
G-Sync is the best possible hardware solution to the age-old problems of screen-tear and v-sync judder. By putting the graphics card fully in charge of the screen refresh, effectively we have the visual integrity of v-sync along with the ability to run at unlocked frame-rates - something previously only possible by enduring ugly screen-tear. Out of the box, G-Sync provides a clearly superior experience, but it is not quite the magic bullet that solves all the issues of fluidity in PC gaming - something needs to change software-side too.
When we first looked at G-Sync at Nvidia's Montreal launch event, we marvelled at the sheer consistency of the experience in the pendulum and Tomb Raider demos. A drop down to 45fps incurred a little ghosting (frames were displayed on-screen for longer than the 60Hz standard 16.67ms, after all) but the fluidity of the experience looked very, very similar to the same demos running at 60fps - a remarkable achievement. However, the reason they looked so good was because of the regularity in the frame-rate - and that's not something typically associated with PC gaming. By running games completely unlocked, actual consistency while you play remains highly variable. G-Sync can mitigate the effects of this - but only to a certain degree.
There's a frame-rate threshold where the G-Sync effect begins to falter. It'll change from person to person, and from game to game, but across our testing, we found the sweet spot to be between 50-60fps in fast action games. Continual fluctuations beneath that were noticeable and while the overall presentation is preferable to v-sync, it still looked and felt not quite right. Owing to the nigh-on infinite combination of different PC components in any given unit, the onus will be on the user to gauge his quality settings effectively to hit the window, and equally importantly, the developer should aim for a consistent performance level across the game. It's no use tweaking your settings for optimal gameplay, only to find that the next level of the title incurs a much heavier GPU load. And if our G-Sync testing has taught us anything, it's that - within reason - consistent frame-rates are more important than the fastest possible rendering in any given situation.
hat being the case, with careful application, G-Sync opens up a lot more possibilities. In the era of the 60Hz monitor, the most consistent, judder-free experience we can get is either with a locked 60fps, or else the console standard 30fps. As we've discussed, theoretically, with G-Sync, target frame-rate could be set anywhere (40fps for example) and locked there without the stutter you'd have on a current display. To make that possible, ideally we really need to see is the introduction of frame-rate limiters in PC graphics settings. This has interesting implications for benchmarking GPUs because suddenly, lowest frame-rates suddenly become that much more important than the review-standard averages.
Overall, G-Sync is a hardware triumph, but the quest for a consistent, enjoyable gameplay experience is far from over. By eliminating the video artefacts, G-Sync lays bare the underlying problems of wildly variable gameplay frame-rates in PC gaming and highlights the problems of inconsistent input latency. If the hardware issue is now fixed, what's required now are software solutions to make the most of this exceptional technology.

Good review. I like the idea that GPUs would 'go further' with such technology, since they would not need to target 60 fps for smooth frame delivery.
However I'm not sure I will buy a G-sync monitor since there is talk that DisplayPort 1.3 will allow the same feature as standard.

My monitor is only 12 months old so I am not n the market for a new oen yet so by the time I am this display port upgrade should be part of the norm.

I've been using the same monitor for about 6-7 years now, and I really want to upgrade. I assume DisplayPort 3.1 wouldn't tack on much to the price? I want to hold out for a monitor that can perform this capability but not if it raises the price any noticeable amount.

I hope not, but I suppose G-Sync monitors could drive up the price of regular monitors with DP 1.3. Even then, I would be surprised if it was a large premium.

Key government ministers, including Foreign Minister
Mr Packer said the local industry should work more closely together and the government needed to spearhead efforts to capture a larger share of the booming market.
industry under pressure
"We want policymakers on all sides of politics to recognise the pressure we've been under" as an industry, Mr Packer said. "We also want our government to strengthen ties with China . . . Australia should be doing even better given the size and growth of China's outbound tourism. China is a good bet for a long time to come."
Asked at the Tourism and Transport Forum's industry summit at Canberra's Parliament House on Wednesday, by TTF chief executive John Lee, if more of Australia's working holiday visa agreements should be with Asian countries, Senator Carr said some countries had raised the issue of backpacker visas in discussions over Australia's bid for a seat on the UN Security Council. "I understand more are on the way," he said.
Of the 19 current working holiday agreements, 12 are with non-Asian countries,Mr Lee said.
Senator Carr also said Australia needed to get out of a habit of "hectoring or lecturing" its Asian neighbours.
"I think we can benefit from making an effort to listen a bit more and not to think that every problem in the region requires an Australian plan.''
The Foreign Minister responded warmly to industry calls for one visa for Australia and New Zealand workers as part of a long-running push to widen trade and tourism links by essentially creating a domestic market between the two countries, which has been looked at by productivity commissions in both countries. "A beautiful idea," Senator Carr said. "I'd be interested in pursuing it."
china biggest tourism source
Trade Minister
"I can only endorse the sentiments of James," Dr Emerson said. "We know this is an issue. China is our biggest tourism source."
He qualified his statement by adding that on some visa-related issues, it was China that's "not ready to move".
green light for foreign workers
For working visas, Dr Emerson said "where it's just not conceivable there are Australians to do those jobs", foreign workers should be given the green light. But he would never condone "a substitute of foreign workers for Australian workers."
More China-friendly policies and political leadership was one of the major themes at the TTF summit. Speaking before Dr Emerson, Mr Packer criticised the visa application process for people from China, which involves filling out a new form in English for every trip and posting the form and passport for processing at an Australian consulate. By comparison, Singaporeans were offered online processing for visas, he said.
Mr Packer said "the challenge is to go even further" than the government's Asian Century white paper, and business leaders and politicians should spend more time in China.
The Crown chairman's push comes as he is seeking to drum up support for a proposed $1 billion hotel and casino development in Sydney with invitation-only gaming facilities pitched at Chinese high-rollers.
"When I look at business opportunities over the coming decade, I see Australian tourism as one of the industries that will benefit most from the booming middle class in China and across Asia."

Chips Dipping as Outlook Dims
Susquehanna says its initial semiconductor checks in Asia suggest another across-the-board downtick in expectations, particularly in the PC, consumer electronics and handset segments.
Back-to-school sales have been weaker than expected, consumer confidence has diminished and cancellations rose during the last two to three weeks, the firm says, but it sees flat second-half revenue as a worst-case scenario since inventory "appeared to be under control entering the third quarter."
Susquehanna, which prefers companies with "favorable product stories" such as Broadcom and Qualcomm, thinks the recent pullback will create buying opportunities.
The Semiconductor HOLDRs Trust ETF is down 1.2% today, amid relative weakness in tech stocks generally. The Nasdaq is off 0.4%.

free pattern!
During my recent pregnancy, I loved designing a few baby items that our little one could wear. While designing and knitting baby things I would imagine what it would be like once our baby would be here. One of my designs was this little cardigan. Even though we did not know whether we would be having a boy or a girl, the design is rather girly with the fair isle hearts border on the body, and therefore perfect for the amazing daughter we ended up having. Now that Eleanor has arrived and gets to wear this cardi, I thought I�d share the pattern with you all.

When most people think innovation, they think Apple, not Microsoft. But Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak says that he worries that Microsoft has become more innovative than Apple, and that Apple has fallen into the habit of just churning out new generations of existing products.
Wozniak said that when being interviewed by by Andrew Keen of TechCrunch at TEDx Brussels. The seven-minute video is well worth watching.
When asked whether Microsoft had become more innovative than Apple, Wozniak responded:
"[With Microsoft] I've seen more of the type of the innovation where you see something, and whoa, they really changed things drastically, whoa, they aren't even going in the same direction as everyone else, meaning the iPhone and the Android operating system."A couple of day ago I read an article where Microsoft has a machine and you'll speak into it English and it will come out Mandarin. And if they're making strides in this valuable voice-recognition area, I fear that Microsoft might have been sitting in their labs trying to innovate with a formula, how do we come up with new ideas, let's not keep doing the same things as before...they might have been doing that for three years, while Apple was just used to cranking out the newest iPhone and falling behind, and that worries me greatly."
During the interview, Wozniak also reminded people that years ago Apple had fallen on hard times, and he attributes that to a death of the innovation culture during those time. He warns:
"During that point in history when I look back, we were cranking out the Macintosh...and we were improving them. Improving them is not Apple-style innovation, it's not like you're creating something astounding that you're just gasping because it's so unexpected...We just had a formula for making money, and running it, and making the same machine."
That's a backhand way of saying that Apple may well have fallen into the same habits today -- making incremental improvements to their blockbuster innovations, but not creating anything new.
I think Wozniak is onto something. When was the last time something truly different came out of Apple? Like clockwork the company turns out the latest generation of iPads or iPhones or Macbooks, and they make plenty of money. But that's not innovation. That's what Wozniak would refer to as "a formula for making money."
Microsoft, meanwhile, has innovated. As Wozniaks says, Windows Phone is truly different from the iPhone and Android. And it's better than them in some ways, notably in that it's an information-centric operating system rather than an application-centric one. Information flows into it more freely through Live Tiles. As for Windows 8, there's no doubt that as a tablet operating system, it's truly innovative in a similar way as well.
This isn't to say that Microsoft's innovations will pay off financially. But Wozniak is right to point out that Microsoft has done some seriously innovative work. Left partially unsaid is that Apple is starting to stagnate.

BEIJING – China's young adults are gaining more weight and exercising less than their elders, local media said on Tuesday, underscoring the fast-developing country's growing struggle with modern health problems.
Chinese from ages 20 to 39 have put on more weight — 1.9 kg — than other adults since 2010, the General Administration of Sport found in a survey, the China Daily reported. More than 11 percent from the age group were obese, up 2 percentage points in only three years.
Just over half — 51 percent — did not exercise regularly, making them the country's "least active" adults.
China has seen rises in obesity and other so-called diseases of affluence as it has modernized rapidly in recent decades.
More Chinese are moving to cities where they may encounter worse pollution, less-healthy diets, sedentary lifestyles and jobs that demand long hours.
China's leading causes of health problems now include stroke and heart disease, the medical journal Lancet said in June, citing data from 1990 to 2010. The sports administration survey showed that 34 percent of Chinese from ages 20 to 69 were overweight, almost on a par with the World Health Organization's global average of 35 percent of over-20s.

For the first time, people convicted of violent crimes will be placed alongside sex offenders on a national register, BBC Radio Five Live has learned.
A trial is underway in Wandsworth, south London, with Lancashire Police set to follow suit next month.
The Violent and Sex Offenders Register, known as Visor, is hailed as a major advance in tightening controls on dangerous convicts.
Visor will enable police and probation workers across the country to obtain vital information about violent criminals after their release from prison.
They hope it will ensure they are closely monitored.
It is hoped Visor will stop violent offenders falling through the net, by moving from one area to another.
A national scheme is expected to be in place within weeks.

Blouse & Heart Sunglasses – Forever 21 // Black A-Line Midi Skirt – Chicwish // Clogs – Lotta From Stockholm
Mark and I had a fun date day at the Dallas Arboretum this past Saturday! It feels like we've been busy lately so it was nice to take a day and look at all the gardens. Plus we ate tacos after and tacos are like my family. I love them.
I thought I looked super cute, but truth be told, it was humid as all get out in the mid 90's, so I was sweating my face off from the moment we got out of the car. This is the first time I've worn this skirt out, and even though I love how it puffs and swishes, it's polyester so I'll make a note to wear it to indoor events in the future (or just on cooler days, which will be in short supply now that summer's almost in full swing). There were kids playing in some of the fountains and I was so jealous you wouldn't believe.
I took tons of photos of the flowers, but Mark was nice enough to snap a few shots since I haven't done an outfit post in what feels like forever. Our new apartment (I say new like we haven't been here almost a year) has really bad lighting and no open spaces good for taking photos, so that's why the posts have slowed down this past year. Sorry! I've got a bunch lined up so it won't be so sparse this next month!

"It was a successful season because we actually got a lot better and made a lot of improvements," Bone said. "Our playoff run wasn't as long as it should have been, though."
Bone already has three scholarship offers and his recruitment is really beginning to pick up.
"I have (scholarship) offers from Clemson, Ole Miss, and South Carolina," said the 6-foot-5, 185-pound.
"It's just very humbling to know all these schools have faith in you. It just makes you want to work harder. I don't just want to be a better receiver -- I want to be the best receiver in South Carolina."
The list of schools recruiting the talented wide receiver is long.
"Oklahoma State, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Duke, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Vanderbilt -- it's a good bit of schools," he said. "No schools are standing out."
"Right now, I'm getting 95-100 letters every three to four days. Alabama, LSU, and North Carolina are recruiting me the hardest."
He has been able to talk to several coaches recently.
"Recently, I've talked to coaches from Alabama, LSU, Clemson, South Carolina, and Ole Miss," Bone said. "I probably talk to the coaches at Ole Miss the most – probably once or twice every few weeks."
Which school be the next to offer?
"If I had to guess, I would say North Carolina may be the next school to offer," he said. "They talk to my head coach all the time. I have to call coach Gunter Brewer back soon because he's been trying to get in touch with me and wants me to get up to Chapel Hill. I'll probably try to take a trip there soon."
Bone has not taken any college visits this fall, but look for that to change in the near future.
"Since our season ended early, I might try to make it to a game somewhere," he said. "I may try to make it to a game this weekend. I was thinking about going to that rivalry game -- the Clemson-South Carolina game."
After college football season ends, Bone plans to spend even more time on the road.
"I'm definitely going to try to get up to some campuses and check out atmosphere and see how the facilities are," Bone said. "I'm just going to look into recruiting a little harder and try to figure out where I want to spend my future."
Bone will not be satisfied just to make it to the next level.
"I looking at their offenses and rosters," he said. "I'm not just going to college to get a scholarship. I'm actually going to try to work and get playing time as a freshman or sophomore."
He knows what he is looking for in a school.
"I want to play for a school that runs a spread offense and a school that throws the ball around."
"I'm just looking for the place that's the best fit and a place that feels like home."
The junior is in no hurry to make a decision.
"I haven't thought about when I will narrow my list of schools down," he said. "I'm just taking it one step at a time and taking it all in because this only happens once in your life and I'm blessed. I'm just very thankful."
He finished the season with 65 catches for 1,150 yards and 14 touchdowns.

I had my rhinoplasty in 2007. So far it has stayed the same as it was one year after surgery, but i am concerned that it will drop over time. Is this likely. Also, i have read that breathing through your nose can accelerate the tip to drop. Should I try and breathe through my mouth instead of my nose to prevent this.
I Am Concerned About my Tip Drooping over Time Since my Rhinoplasty?
Doctor Answers 4
Tip Droop
It is "OK" to breathe through your nose. Also, feel free to contact experienced Rhinoplastic Cosmetic Surgeons about your nasal tip ptosis (droop). I think that they can help your situation.
Tip Drooping After 4 Years Since A Rhinoplasty
Dear Zhara,
Based on your description, it is unlikely that your tip will droop compared to what you have accomplished at 12 months post-op (4 years ago).
Nonetheless, with age the nose undergoes changes regardless if it was subjected to a rhinoplasty.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for your inquiry.
The best of wishes to you.

I Am Concerned About my Tip Drooping over Time Since my Rhinoplasty?
I would be very surprised if your tip drooped that much after having this surgery in 2007. We do see elderly patients have some drooping of the tip naturally with old age, but if you are happy this far out I would not worry much at all about seeing drooping of any significance. Breathing through your nose has nothing to do with drooping so breathe away.

Chelsea Handler: Praised by Katy Perry
Gearing up to tape a new episode of her show "Chelsea Lately," Chelsea Handler was spotted arriving at E! studios yesterday (September 14).
The outspoken comedienne looked lovely in a striped top with jeans as she let her pooch pal out of the back of her luxury SUV.
Last weekend, Chelsea hosted the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards and, according to Katy Perry, she did a bang up job.
Perry, whose fiancé Russell Brand hosted the two years prior, told press, "No, [Russell] didn't ask me how they compared, but he asked me how she did and I think, contrary to whatever rumors or whatever Internet stuff or whatever, I was in stitches. I thought she was so hella funny."
