El Cajón del Maipo
A Brief History of El Cajón del Maipo
It's hard to imagine that millions of years ago the imposing mountains of Cajón del Maipo were submerged in the sea. They were a part of an old marine channel and today it is still possible to find traces of its aquatic past in the form of fossils that can be found high up in the mountains.
The first inhabitants of these highlands were the Chiquillanes Indians who lived around where San Gabriel is today.
Evidence of the Inca's presence can be found in this area too. A Mummy of an Incan boy of about eight years of age was found on Cerro El Plomo (Peak) in 1954. For nearly 500 years he had been there at about 20 meters below the summit (5424m). The mummy can currently be found on display at the National Museum of Natural History in very good condition. Notice how his hair is plaited in more than 200 braids.
In the beginning, San José de Maipo, arose out of the need of having a central establishment for the diverse mining communities that were settling down in the area. Most of them were working in one the first silver mines in Chile, "San Pedro de Nolasco", which earned a lot of money for the region at the time.
Around then, the Governor of the Kingdom of Chile, Mr. Ambrosio O'Higgins, aware of this need, established the Villa San José de Maipo on 16 of Julio 1792 by means of a royal decree of the King of Spain. Later the area was called Villa Alta, but nowadays it is known as San José de Maipo.
How to Get to the Cajón del Maipo
Travelling by car:
The main route to Cajón del Maipo from Santiago is by going along Avda. La Florida. This avenue intersects with another main avenue called Avda. Vespucio Sur (the intersection is known as the Rotunda (roundabout) Departamental). Avda. La Florida, which later changes its name to Avda. Camilo Henriquez, will take you directly to the Las Vizcachas area which is the beginning of the Cajón del Maipo.
Another way is by going along Avda. Vicuña Mackenna until you arrive to Puente Alto. From there you can take Eyzaguirre which will connect to the main route G-25 just before Las Vizcachas.
Another option from Puente Alto is to drive towards Pirque and then take route G-421. This road later connects to route G-25 at two different places; by crossing the bridge to Las Vertientes or continuing until it joins at the Puente El Toyo (Bridge).
If you plan to go deeper into the Cajón by car, San José de Maipo is the last place to fill up the petrol tank.
Route G-25 is paved up to San Gabriel but from there on up into mountains, the roads are made of gravel.
Travelling by bus:
Buses frequently leave from the terminal at Plaza Vespucio which is at the end of Metro line 5, the Bellavista de La Florida Station.
Buses usually go through Puente Alto before they head off into El Cajón del Maipo, so it can take a while before you see any decent scenery.
(while we cannot recommend Hitchhiking as a safe way to travel, we understand that many people do it anyway)
It's best to take a local bus up to Las Vizcachas and try your luck from there. It will be too difficult to get a ride from Av. La Florida. Remember that the further you go up into the mountains, the less traffic there is, especially during week days.
Some traffic that you may find in El Cajón del Maipo.
Some other routes that can take you deeper into the mountains are:
G-345 Cajón Río Colorado - Just after puente Colorado (Bridge)
G-355 Lagunillas - Just after San José de Maipo
G-455 Embalse El Yeso - At Romeral where the paved part of the route G-25 ends
Las Melosas - After Puente Negro which is after Romeral
G-421 El Toyo Pirque - The back road between Pirque and El Toyo
Don't go into the mountains alone and/or in bad weather. Remember that the weather can change dramatically and rapidly, especially in Autumn, Winter and Spring. Rain, fog or the feared "White Wind" (a strong storm of wind, ice and snow), can put your life in serious danger so check out the weather forecast for the time you intend to stay.
If you plan to go mountaineering or trekking deep into the mountains, you should let the local police officers (at San Gabriel) know what route you are planning to take and the day you expect to be back.
If you are fishing or hunting, you should respect the local regulations and permitted seasons.
Take care of the Natural Environment: don't throw away garbage, don't damage the flora and fauna. Take all the necessary precautions to avoid forest fires.
The Little Towns of El Cajón del Maipo.
The following are the picturesque towns that can be encountered while travelling in El Cajón del Maipo.
Along the way you may find some white sheets or pieces of cloth hanging on the side of the road. This means that this place sells either homemade bread, nuts, almonds or honey.
La Obra:
As you go along route G-25, the first town that you will encounter is La Obra. This town sprung up in 1802 when the construction of the San Carlos Channel began. This is where some of the first vineyards in the area were established long ago.
Las Vertientes:
The next town, Las Vertientes, is relatively new as it only dates back to 1941 after the sale of an old property. There are a lot of summer homes here and on the main road with a large orange sign that can't be missed, is an esoteric store (Nauoma) that sells many crystals and has free workshops every now and then.
El Canelo:
El Canelo gets its name from the sacred tree of the Mapuches normally found in the South, but which also grows here in the lush green gulleys of the sector. It is here that you can also taste some excellent wines and liquors produced in the area.
El Manzano:
El Manzano sprung up around a very old railway station that connected El Volcan with Puente Alto. The train has long since stopped its trek up into the mountains but the little town still remains. To the north of El Manzano, there are number of places to practice rock climbing such as Las Torrecillas Hill, Palestra and Romeral Rock.
El Cajón Del Colorado:
Straying from route G -25 by turning left a few meters after El Colorado Bridge, you can find the Cajón del Colorado.
This sector is called Colorado (coloured) because of the colour of the river's water. As you go into the mountain range, you will pass the town Los Maitenes and finally reach El Alfalfal. Here you can observe Tupungato mountain (6.570m) and the Tupungatito volcano (5.682m) and also enter Parque Río Olivares. You can only enter this park with a special permit given by the Ministerio de Bienes Nacionales (a government ministry).
Backon the main G-25 after visiting the Cajón Del Colorado, you can find the sector of Guayacán, which gets its name from a type of tree in the area which produces high quality wood.
San José de Maipo:
San José de Maipo is the capital of this sector and is where the main commercial activities are. Its picturesque architecture (especially in the central sector the town) has remained more or less the same since the town's beginning. You should visit the Plaza de Armas (the main square) where interesting typical handmade crafts of the area are often on sale in stands, and don't forget to check out the church in the top left corner of this square. The tourist Information office can be found in the top right corner of the main square.
A short distance from San José de Maipo, Route G-355 leads you 16 Km up into the mountains to the Lagunillas ski center (2200m).
Lagunillas can be enjoyed throughout the entire year, with skiing and snowboarding in winter and during the rest of the year, hiking and mountain bike descents are popular.
El Toyo:
This is small and typical town with a lot of direct contact with nature by means of diverse activities, as walks and sporting fishing. About 3kms from San José De Maipo, in front of an attractive wooden hanging bridge, you can find what looks like an enormous footprint stamped on a rock wall – a rock known by the locals as "La Pata Del Diablo" (the Devil's foot). It is the result of natural geological processes but there are many myths and legends in this area to give it a more interesting background.
El Melocotón:
This town started out as being the source of grass and hay for the animals to feed on when they came down from higher up in the mountains. Now, it is a starting point to go rafting and kayaking.
San Alfonso:
A quiet town that contains many Summer houses. The identity characteristic of this town simulates the visitor to enjoy its beautiful natural environment that in the sector it is mixed with the picturesque of its local architecture. Besides the attractions of the local wines and liquors, you should visit the Tinoco Tunnel, a National Historical Monument, wish offers an amazing experience for those that walk through it.
El Ingenio:
This town is a little off the main route but worth a visit even if it is only to try the exquisite cakes and candies made there. It is basically a small town where people go to rest and get away from the city life.
El Boyenar:
A small town on the main route similar to El Ingenio in that it is a place to rest.
San Gabriel:
San Gabriel sprung up as a result of nearby quarry and mining activities long ago. There is an obligatory Police controls which halts the traffic in the middle of the road. You should leave your name with them if you plan to go off the beaten track higher into the mountains. In winter, you will often find snow on the sides of the roads for the families to come and play in. From here, the scenery starts to change from the lush green slopes to a dry brown, grey and sometimes purple rock.
A small town surrounded by the imposing mountains that is where the paved road ends. From here, it is possible to take route G-455 up towards the Embalse El Yeso (reservoir / dam).
El Yeso
This area gets its name from the "Embalse el Yeso", the large reservoir situated at an altitude of more than 3.000m. At any one time, it can hold 253.000.000 m3 of water with depths of up to 55mts. The reservoir, which contains fresh water, took 10 years to complete and was finally ready in 1964.
The water is a beautiful emerald green and sometimes turquoise colour. It is possible to practice a wide range of aquatic sports here such as windsurfing and fishing, all the while being surrounded by gigantic mountains. Another 18kms further into the mountains, you will come to El Plomo thermal pools.
Off the main route and onto route G-465 and the way to Las Melosas, is Queltehues. Here you can find one of the three hydroelectric power stations in the Cajón del Maipo area.
Las Melosas:
From the town of Las Melosas you can appreciate the beauty of the mountains, and find native fauna and flora. Don't be surprised if you see Condors floating on the breeze high in the mountain skies.
EL Volcán:
Continuing along Route G-25, you will encounter El Volcán. Once this was a very active mining town. Remains of that period can easily be found here such as the towering storage silo or the old rusty mining machinery.
Baños Morales:
Baños Morales, a small town located at more than 2000m, is the starting point for the El Morado national park. It has rich thermal pools with salts and mineral that are good for the health. Every summer, numerous people visit the town looking for some relief from their rheumatism by bathing in the healing waters.
El Morado:
El Morado is a spectacular Natural park administered by CONAF. In this beautiful sector of approximately 3000 hectares, there are two Glaciers, the San Francisco Glacier and El Morado Glacier which can both be reached on a one day hike. On the way, you will come across the Panimavidad waters which are natural springs of mineral water and also the El Morado lagoon. The beautiful El Morado peak can be seen too with its height at 5060m
Baños Colina:
Located at more that 3.500m, Baños Colina is the last stop on the journey deep into the Cajón Del Maipo. This is another natural thermal pool center with a more rustic character and it is possible to enjoy a totally natural environment, almost untouched by humans.

Day Five: Sunday, October 13
Reflection: With faith in our future, we commit ourselves to Catholic education and to our own lifelong faith formation as educators. With hope in the here and now, we find strength in your Spirit empowering us to be faithful servants and stewards of your gifts. With love, we offer the sacrifice of our joyful giving as an outward sign of the true treasure we hold in Jesus. (excerpt + Timothy Dolan, August 21, 2007)
Pray the Our Father, 3 Hail Mary's, and Glory Be.
Intercession: O Christ, our Teacher, You invite Your faithful people to make disciples in Your name and to announce good news to the poor. Increase our commitment to development of the whole person, ignite our zeal for providing a well-rounded Anselmian education, and help us form our students into mature men and women who lead creative and generous lives as they nurture the soul of our nation.
Action: Take a moment to think about the teachers and students of the Saint Anselm community, hold them in your heart, and ask for God's blessing upon them.
We thought a novena to be a particularly special way for the Saint Anselm Community to prepare for and celebrate the Inauguration of our tenth President, Dr. Steven DiSalvo. Together, whether near or far, the Saint Anselm family can be in prayer for these nine days. The Novena will begin on Wednesday, October 9 and conclude on Thursday, October 17, we will then gather (here on campus or via live feed) on October 18 for the Inaugural Mass. Read more »

"New Zealand are strong, quick and very skilful," said Sella, the world's most capped player.
"I like the way New Zealand play, they entertain and win as well.
"England must be second favourites and I would put France in third place alongside Australia."
Sella hailed the current England side as one of the best he had ever seen, reserving special praise for the backs.
"When I played against England I faced the likes of Rob Andrew, Jerry Guscott, Will Carling and Rory Underwood - a strong, good three-quarter line," said Sella.
"They can play different styles too. They can run into gaps, or can be very direct. That sort of team is difficult to defend against. This is one of the best England teams.
"We will see if it is enough to be world champions - they will certainly be very close."
Sella insisted he was not concerned by his own country's lack of form over the last year.
France finished third in the Six Nations, suffered two Test defeats in Argentina and shared a two-Test series with England.

Those public servants running Congress have some nice lives to retire to, according to the latest public disclosures. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has her multimillion-dollar California vineyard and Minority Leader John Boehner has money invested in BP. Woops!
AP via Google:
House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio reported some 40 stock holdings in the $15,000-$50,000 range. His investment in BP, the oil company responsible for the Gulf oil spill, may be suffering, but he backs that up with stock in several other oil companies, including ConocoPhilips, Exxon and Occidental.
Eric Cantor of Virginia, the Republican whip in the House, has an extensive investment portfolio including a money market fund in Goldman Sachs valued at $100,001-$250,000.

No More Searching By Relationship Status On Facebook
Ever logged into Facebook and gotten excited about a new friend request, only to be greeted by a pervy stranger who is coincidentally also single? Well, those days are behind us 'cause Facebook has removed the option to search members by their relationship status. This is great news for those of us who want to use the site to meet … people we already know. But for those of you who looking to score a date (or whatever), Facebook isn't leaving you too high and dry—there are still several Facebook dating apps that can help you sort through hotties. I am just so glad to see a social networking site listening to its members. I guess they finally learned a thing or two from Craigslist. [All Facebook]

Whether it is running a marathon, playing Bunco or joining a gym, spouses of deployed aviation Soldiers are finding common ground, often while off-roading.
Proving that military families persevere in the face of deployments, and make the best of any situation, the informal spouses group plans outings and activities to not only support one another, but also to have something to share with their husbands while deployed.
Knowing how much their Soldiers must miss their precious toys and their wives, fearless Jeep driver Tonya Goretski, whose husband is with the 3rd Battalion, 25th Aviation Regiment, put together an outing intended to give the boys a little taste of what they're missing.
"It is a way to get together and show the guys we love them and that we are doing OK," said Goretski. "(It's fun to) tease them a little bit too.
Armed with video cameras, clips of each adventure are sent to the Soldiers, who gather tightly around whichever monitor is free at the time and commence to cheer and jeer one another about the events caught on video.
Photos are also sent downrange to give the Soldiers a picture of all of their favorite things: Jeeps, family, wives and fellowship.
The Jeeps proudly bear scars from outings to Peacock Flats and Kaena Point, each scratch and dent telling a different story.
These events often leave marks on the vehicles, and sometimes even emotional ones on the passengers.
As the countdown to redeployment continues, these wives look forward to the future - future expeditions, shared stories and the return of loved ones.
Any place is what you make of it, and Hawaii is no exception. Oahu is a great place to be and offers unique experiences and opportunities for adventure.
In this case, the absence of the men leaves room for the women to form a stronger social bond and rely on one another for mutual support and assistance.

If you've misplaced your Windows 7 install disc, which may be the actual discs that came with your PC or a retail Windows 7 install disc that you bought separately, then reinstalling Windows can be a bit frustrating. However, there is a very simple way to create your own Windows 7 install disc for Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate in 32 or 64-bit versions, from scratch.
1. Identify the Version of Windows 7 and Product Key
The Windows 7 Product Key is essential for reinstalling Windows and getting it activated. If you purchased your PC from a manufacturer, the product key may be printed on a label that is attached to the computer's case. It may also be printed on some documentation that came with your PC.
If you purchased a retail of copy of Windows 7, then the product key may be printed on the box or included as documentation.
The version of Windows 7 is also important, as product keys will only work with certain versions of Windows. You will learn more about this in the next step. To identify your version of Windows 7, simply launch the Start Menu, right-click on Computer and select Properties from the context menu. Of course, you could also look on the box or documentation that came with the Windows 7 purchase.
2. Download a Copy of Windows 7
The next step is to of course download a copy of Windows 7 that will eventually be burned to disc or moved to a USB drive. There are a ton of links on the internet to download Windows 7, but be careful where you download Windows 7 from as many of these links may contain malicious or tampered versions of Windows 7.
A safe and recommended download source is Digital River, an authorized Microsoft software retailer. I purchased Windows 7 from them initially, and thankfully, they keep updated links to most of their downloads. So, start by downloading a copy of Windows 7. Make sure you download the correct Windows version that matches your key (came with your PC)!
64-bit Windows 7
32-bit Windows 7
3. Create a Windows Install Disc or Bootable USB Drive
The Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool is a free utility from Microsoft that will allow you to burn the Windows 7 download to disc or create a bootable USB drive.
At this point, you have now replaced your misplaced Windows install disc with either another disc or a bootable Windows 7 USB drive!
4. Download Drivers (optional)
If your PC requires certain drivers for full functionality, you may also want to download these drivers and install them with Windows.
Start by using Google or your search engine of choice to search the web for your particular PC and exact model, followed by keyword drivers. You should be able to find a quality link to a list of drivers that you need to download for your PC.
5. Prepare the Drivers (optional)
Once you've downloaded the drivers for your PC, you will need to move them to a removable disk or disc so that they can be used once you've installed Windows. Thus, you have a few options:
5a Burn the Drivers to Disc
This is very simple and can be done with any blank CD or DVD and a PC that utilizes an optical drive with CD or DVD writing functionality.
Simply insert the CD or DVD into the computer's optical drive, create a new folder on the desktop containing all of the drivers and burn the folder to disc using the built-in Windows 7 burning option.
5b Copy the Drivers to a USB Drive
Simply insert any high capacity USB drive into an available USB port on your PC and drag the drivers to the drive to copy them.
6. Install Drivers
Once you've reinstalled Windows, simply insert the disc containing the drivers or USB drive with the drivers (step 5a, 5b) and proceed to install the drivers for your PC.
7. Create a Bootable Windows 7 USB Drive with Drivers already installed (alternative method)
Proceed to download a Windows 7 ISO (links above), but instead of using the USB to DVD utility, jump to our article on creating a custom Windows 7 image.
That's basically all there is to it. Lost Windows 7 install DVD? Now you can simply replace it or create a bootable USB drive. Thank you for stopping by the site for today's post.

In-Store Artists › Musical Musings ›
Sitting on a bench outside of Chicago Music Exchange, you can observe an interesting phenomenon. People slow down and peer through the windows – heads tilted and eyes wide with obvious intrigue. Musician or not, what they see inside catches their attention. Small children are almost always drawn toward the displays, mothers explaining, "Yes honey, those are guitars – that's how music is made!"
That's how music is made. Such a simple statement, but probably the best summary of what Chicago Music Exchange is all about – making music, influencing sound, and pushing artists to the next level.
The funny thing about Chicago Music Exchange is that when you walk through the doors, you are so overwhelmed by the space – wood floors, antique rugs, plush couches, chandeliers, a vast living room of floor-to-ceiling electric guitars, new and vintage – that there is something you don't notice.
Some of the greatest musicians of our time are shopping here right along side you. That's what makes Chicago Music Exchange so different from other guitar stores. Yes, Chicago Music Exchange is a store, but it's also an experience. We have seen artists find inspiration here. We have talked musicians into trying new pickups, experimenting with different effects pedals, or even into switching from acoustic to electric – decisions that have resulted in songs and albums that many of us know and love.
If you are a musician living in Chicago and you haven't been to Chicago Music Exchange, you are missing out on a hidden gem right in your backyard. A guitar store that feels like a museum or an art gallery. A destination where people lose themselves for hours in a playground of incredible sights and sounds.
If you are musician and you don't live near Chicago Music Exchange, it just might be time for a little vacation.

Keep Young Buyers in Mind When Selling Your Home
Tips for making your home attractive to first-time and young home buyers
In recent years, mistrust of the housing market and difficulty finding secure employment caused many young families and new college graduates to delay purchasing a first home.
Now that the economy is recovering and the housing market is on a steady upswing, a pool of young buyers rushing back into the market has been steadily growing for the first time in five years.
"First-time home buyers represented the fastest growing segment of home purchasers for January and February, according to the latest Campbell/Inside Mortgage Finance HousingPulse Tracking Survey," says Realtor magazine.
The survey also shows that traffic of first-time home buyers was at its four-year high in February. In order to take advantage of this demographic, a seller needs to learn the best ways to attract young buyers to view the home and secure a sale.
It is important to consider the perspectives of young buyers from the onset of the selling process when preparing information for your real estate agent or posting information about your home online.
"Your marketing materials should mention everything that appeals to young couples and families such as the location near commuter routes or public transportation, swimming pools, tennis courts, a gym, or nearby shops and restaurants," says Realtor Lane Tharp of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Dunwoody, Georgia.
It is important to ensure that your home is in the best condition possible by attending to any upkeep issues that have been neglected over the years. First-time home buyers don't have experience with repairs or remodeling, so they typically place a high value on the move-in condition of a home. Furthermore, many first-time home buyers need to make a large down payment to secure a good mortgage, so they won't have a lot of funds left over for immediate repairs.
"First-time buyers are skeptical of buying homes that need improvement. Sellers certainly don't need to remodel the kitchen, but they want to make sure that their home showcases very well," says Eric Mangan from Forsalebyowner.com.
If you are on a tight budget or schedule and cannot feasibly complete all major repairs before listing your home, providing buyers with information about the cost of doing so will help them see the home's potential.
"Sellers can pay for simple drawings that show some renovation options that would work well with the home's configuration and its lot," says Michele Lerner of Bankrate.com.
After helping buyers envision the possibilities, seal the deal by making sure they know that they can pay for renovations with a mortgage that includes money for the options they saw in the drawings.
"Younger buyers who are looking at homes that are 20 or 30 years old are likely to look at the kitchen and baths and want to renovate," says Scott Lacey of Weichert Financial Services in North Providence, Rhode Island. "A seller can provide information about an FHA 203(k) loan with their marketing materials to show buyers that they can wrap renovation costs into their mortgage."
Providing the buyer with warranties can help them feel confident that they won't face large costs right after moving in. Lerner suggests purchasing warranties for heating and cooling systems as well as for plumbing and electrical.
"Most home warranties are available as one-year policies and provide coverage while the property is on the market and after the closing," she says.
Amy Hoak of the Wall Street Journal cautions sellers not to immediately discount buyers who start negotiations with ridiculously low offers. "Buyers know prices have fallen, so they're being aggressive in their offers—sometimes extremely aggressive," she says. "But even if they come in with a shocking lowball offer, don't scoff at it."
If you keep these tips in mind, you will hopefully have young buyers knocking on your door in no time.

Rowan Atkinson Crashes Rare McLaren F1 Supercar (Slideshow)
British actor Rowan Atkinson, known for his work in the "Mr. Bean" and "Blackadder" series, is reportedly recovering after crashing his McLaren F1 super sports car, according to numerous reports.
The 56-year-old actor and comedian is a well-known car collector and vintage-racing enthusiast. He was reportedly driving the maroon McLaren F1 when he spun off a wet road and suffered a shoulder injury. Police reported the vehicle crashed late Thursday near Haddon, a village some 85 miles north of London.
The McLaren F1, a cost-no-object supercar, is capable of speeds around 240 miles per hour.

MARKET traders have given a mixed response to plans to extend pedestrianised hours in streets in the centre of York.
As reported in The Press yesterday, City of York Council is to extend the period of time that vehicles are barred from city-centre streets as part of an 18-month experiment.
The plans will see cars banned from Davygate for most of the day, and footstreet hours will be applied between 10.30am and 5pm every day from March 18. Under the current rules, cars are barred only until 4pm Monday to Friday, and 4.30pm on Saturdays.
The aim is to keep shoppers and pedestrians safe and make the city-centre shopping experience better.
Roy Hardy, who runs a poster stall in Newgate Market, and Graham Hey, who has a stall selling magic tricks, both welcomed the move.
Between them, the stalls have been regular fixtures at the market for more than 20 years, and both said they felt the extended footstreet times will increase daily trade as the market will be able to stay open longer.
Roy said: "If markets are going to compete with shops they need to stay open longer.
"We pack away at 4pm but shops open until 5.30pm. Some people pack away before 4pm, and if customers see people packing away it can put them off going to the market as they think it's closing."
Graham said: "You feel like you're turning people away."
Gordon David, runs a fruit and veg stand four days a week, which has been running for more than 30 years.
He said he thought the changes were a bad idea.
He said that when he works at the market, his day started at 3am, and he probably would not get home until 7pm because of traffic under the new changes, which he felt would cause traffic to build up.
He said: "I am going to be doing 16 hours a day. I am not very happy."

Beauty Vitamins
The beauty vitamins are a very important way for women to keep themselves looking beautiful.
Vitamins For Health ~ Vitamins For Beauty
Yes, of course it is true that diet, and exercise and taking care of your face, skin and body overall are important, however, you should never discredit the use of vitamins and the role that they play in beauty.

I had a revision surgery two months ago to fix a small bump and hanging columella. Both the bump and hanging columella look exactly the same to me. The bump is small and doesn't bother me one bit. The hanging columella makes me look like I have a snout. The tip of my nose looks bulbous and I can see the inside of my nostrils too much! My doctor says it is swelling but I am worried it is scar tissue and not going to go away. I've attached a photo of my nose pre-op and today.
How Do You Know when You Have a Hanging Columella or Just Swelling? (photo)
Doctor Answers 1
Hanging Columella at Two Months After Revision Rhinoplasty
Thanks for the question and photos. At two months after revision rhinoplasty, there is almost certainly still some swelling of the tip and columella present. Depending on the techniques used by your surgeon, your tip is likely to still come down a bit, reducing your nostril visibility.
I would recommend bringing up your concerns with your surgeon to see if there are easy, non-surgical maneuvers which can improve the appearance of your nose. These may include Kenalog (steroid) injections or taping the nose. Give it another 6-9 months to see how things are looking...
Best regards,
Dr. Mehta

"I was going 75 in a 55 zone because I thought the limit was 65, and the cops always give you 10 miles an hour."
"I was picking up a sick child."
"I had a sick child in the back seat."
"I had to make a midnight curfew."
"I didn't know how fast I was going because it wasn't my car."
"I was going downhill."
Judge Hantman has a soft spot for just one excuse: "I was going with the flow of traffic." On highways in Howard County, that often means 80 mph.
Speeding has become such a concern that the judges have begun ordering some speeders to attend an evening class at the courthouse on its dangers.
There is no Speeders Anonymous ("My name is Bill, and I drive 95 in 65 zones") but if there were, its meetings might feel something like these classes in Ellicott City.
Here's what one is like: It's a Monday evening; about 60 drivers are enrolled in the class. Most are young men in their 20s and early 30s — the drivers most likely to speed. Their average ticket: 22 mph over the speed limit.
During the next three hours, the reluctant students are subjected to gory video of accidents and amputations, graphic explanations of what trauma teams do to keep accident victims alive, and hair-raising testimony from survivors. A crippled, brain-damaged woman tells them, "I'm the real thing, folks; we don't all die."
The trauma nurses who lead the class have ice packs, blood-pressure cuffs and high-sugar drinks ready for the faint. They treat the students with resigned detachment, as if they are just so many future organ donors.
Shane Williams, 20, a college student from Eldersburg, Md.,was caught driving 95 in a 55-mph zone. He doesn't need this class to tell him speed is dangerous. Three days before, his cousin was killed when he smashed his Eagle Talon into a utility pole while driving 100 mph.
Nevertheless, Williams has to admit it: He loves speed. As a young man in his 20s, he fits the profile of a fast driver. It's partly a social thing, he explains, especially when the weather gets nice. "When it's the speedin' season, if you have a nice car you can meet nice people, interesting people. You can be with the 'in-crowd.' "
But it's more than that. He recalls the time he "buried" his silver '94 Mustang's speedometer, which goes up to 150 mph. "I went up on (Interstate) 70 with a few people in the car, and we just took off. It usually takes 10 minutes to get to the next exit, and it took about two minutes."
Now he's smiling, in spite of himself. He can't fake it. "When you're going that fast, you're flyin'. It feels good" — he pauses — "while you're doin' it."
While you're doing it.
Is he alluding to the danger of speed? Or lamenting the transience of its delight?

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
By Sarah Sookman, Matrox Imaging
A is for analog; C is for Camera Link®; G is for GigE Vision™. Throw in IEEE 1394, LVDS / RS-422, and USB, and you've a got a simmering pot of interface soup. However, whether you're making a gumbo, chowder, or bisque will depend on the ingredients you put into it. Building a machine vision system is similar; your choice of components will affect the final product. This article presents a strategy to help you choose the best interface for your application. It also discusses some of the factors that will help define your choices: image fidelity, bandwidth, compactness and cables, and determinism. Refer to Table 1 for a brief comparison of the most popular camera interfaces: analog, Camera Link®, IEEE 1394, GigE Vision™, and USB. With a bit of knowledge and the right questions, you'll also be better prepared to help your camera vendor (and machine vision vendor) help you.
It All Starts With the Camera!
Machine vision rookies often ask vendors the same question: What frame grabber do I need? The vendors always give the same answer: it depends on your camera. So, your first step is to choose the camera that fits your needs in terms of resolution, data rate, and more. This exercise in itself may reduce the number of interfaces to consider.
|Preferred (alphabetical order)
|Best image fidelity due to signaling

Topcon Releases High-Accuracy RTK system, HiPer SR
Topcon Positioning Systems has unveiled the HiPer SR — an advanced GNSS RTK receiver that Topcon describes as having "the most compact and lightweight design of any fully integrated precision receiver — ever."
With the HiPer SR, Topcon is expanding the delivery of high-accuracy RTK technology to a variety of users — surveyors who need a tool for small boundary or stakeout work, non-traditional users such as landscape architects who need a low-cost mapping solution, and law enforcement or any others requiring high-accuracy 3D positioning.
Cable-free and weighing under 2 pounds, the rugged and fully integrated design delivers a 1,000-foot working radius through Topcon's new LongLink technology. The LongLink wireless data link was developed specifically for the HiPer SR, and provides reliable and interference-free RTK base-to-rover communications that don't require an FCC license to operate, Topcon said. Base and rover units can be used interchangeably.
The HiPer SR can also be a dedicated network rover. All standard RTK correction formats and network protocols are supported, and a comprehensive range of field workflows are realized with the Magnet family of cloud-enabled software solutions.
The HiPer SR's 226-channel Vanguard GNSS chip provides precision measurement and advanced multipath rejection, offers support for all modernized GNSS constellations, and incorporates Topcon's patented Universal Tracking Channel technology whereby any channel can track any available signal, reducing power consumption and system weight. As more GNSS signals come online, this flexibility enables the 226-channel Vanguard design to scale up and track more signals than other GNSS systems.
Additional features of the HiPer SR include:
- Quartz Lock Loop technology. Designed by Topcon engineers for superior GNSS tracking in high-vibration environments, such as on a four wheeler;
- Capable of simultaneous LongLink operation with multiple rovers;
- Sealed battery pack provides more than 15 hours of operation;
- Lightweight and shock-resistant magnesium alloy housing, allowing the HiPer SR to take a 6 ft. (2m) pole drop onto concrete

If you want a m0n0wall to serve DHCP to a bridged interface, I think
this is a configuration that it wasn't originally designed for. I can
think of some circumstances where you might want this, though. Hmmm...

Well, your WAN interface needs an IP address if you want the m0n0wall
box itself to be able to do DNS resolution, time synchronization, or
anything requiring access to the rest of the Internet.

There is no such thing as shell access on a m0n0wall box. Modifying
files on a live m0n0wall box is probably not feasible, if for no other
reason than m0n0wall does not include a text editor or, in fact, many
common FreeBSD commands. This is a Good Thing (TM).
Automating the re-packing of mfsroot is fairly simple.

m0n0wall uses IPFilter, not IPFW, for packet filtering. You want to
look for net.link.ether.bridge_ipf.

Halle Berry expecting first child
Halle Berry e-mailed Access Hollywood on Tuesday to announce she's officially three-months pregnant. Check out Us Magazine's dynamite reporting of the joyous news:
After years of rumors, Halle Berry is pregnant. She and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry are expecting a baby in 2008. The 41-year old actress emailed Access Hollywood anchor Nancy O'Dell today and told her, "Yes, I am three months pregnant. Gabriel and I are beyond excited and I've waited a long time for this moment in my life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!"
After years of rumors, huh? That's some cracker-jack writing. Only Us Magazine could claim that Halle Berry has looked pregnant for years. Talk about cold-blooded. You'd think they'd abandon their theory after roughly nine months or so when, I don't know, a child doesn't pop out of her Oscar-winning vagina. Of course, one can't expect Us Magazine to have any knowledge of the human birthing process. I once applied to be a writer there and during my interview all I had to do was finger paint a giraffe. When I wrote my name at the top, they told me I was over-qualified and should take my "words smarts" elsewhere.

Wittenberg Wins Inaugural "Blood Battle" With Rival Wooster
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and Student Senate organized a successful blood drive on Jan. 30, collecting 79 pints of donations to win the first-ever "Blood Battle" competition with North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) arch-rival Wooster.
The results were announced a few moments before tip-off of the Feb. 14 men's basketball game against Wooster in Wittenberg's Pam Evans Smith Arena. After it was revealed that Wittenberg was victorious by a count of 79-60, Wooster's director of athletics donned a Wittenberg hat for the first half of the game.
"The turnout for the blood drive was great," said Wittenberg SAAC Vice President Erin Slattery '10. "It's great to see that we can use the historic rivalry between Wittenberg and Wooster men's basketball to do something good for the community. I'm glad we were able to get this project going this year, and we have already committed to a second round during the 2009-2010 basketball season."

Naming streets after people can be tricky, and through the years the City of Cambridge has shown great restraint in not rushing to do so.
Many of the streets here with family names on them honor founders of the community or other historically significant people: Gomber, Beatty, Sarchet, Grant, Taylor, Madison, Jefferson, Lincoln ...
Wed be reluctant to endorse renaming any street in honor of someone still living, because one never knows what that person might do next. Cincinnati, youll note, took a gamble and today is saddled with Pete Rose Way near its Great American Ballpark.
A proposal has been presented to Cambridge City Council to honor people who may not know how to kick, throw or dribble a ball. But their sacrifices on our behalf are real, and they are heroes.
Joe Morton, commander of Robert T. Secrest Memorial VFW Post 2901 in Cambridge, this week asked the Council to consider designating a portion of Southgate Parkway in memory of either the late Maj. Bill Reed, a local Vietnam casualty, or all county residents who made the supreme sacrifice while serving our country.
Either of these designations would be deserving, and would make more sense than honoring with a street name someone who, for example, makes more money playing games than our surgeons who save lives every day.

Silas W. Mitchell is considered a pioneer in the field of neurology. Born in Philadelphia into a family of physicians, he earned his medical degree at the Jefferson Medical College, University of Pennsylvania, in 1850. His interest in neurology grew out of his experience treating nervous disorders in soldiers during the Civil War. He is well-known for his use of the "rest cure" for hysteria and neurasthenia, particularly in women. He also advocated electrotherapy and massage. He was elected president of the Association of American Physicians in 1887 and served as a founder and president of the American Neurological Association in 1908-1909. Mitchell was also an expert on snake venom, a patron of the arts, and produced many literary works, including poetry, novels and short stories. He died in 1914 after contracting influenza.
Collection of physician Silas Weir Mitchell's papers date from 1854-1915 and consists of over 700 documents and correspondence sent to Dr. Mitchell relating to matters both personal and professional. Transcripts are often available. Mitchell's principal correspondents in this collection include his relative Mitchell Henry, his publisher Frank H. Scott, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jeffries Wyman, Charles-Eduoard Brown-Seguard, Louis Agassiz, Elizabeth Cabot Cary Agassiz, Anna Eliot Ticknor, W. T.

If your snails are going on to multiple generations and your fish are fine, escargot is great.
The snails I would be leery of are the ones coming in with plant shipments from places like Singapore.
Remember, all fish have parasites, except maybe Jack Whattley's discus that grow up on beefhearts. Brrrrrrr.....
The problem with parasites is when the fish are stressed from shipments etc. etc. etc.

Right now, a man whose predatory career has claimed the jobs of countless Americans is trying to wrap himself in the flag and call himself a "job creator" and "wealth creator."
Does he mean miserable jobs in Chinese factories? Wealth for the 1 percent? Apparently that's exactly what he means.
Republicans claim that Mitt Romney's entrepreneurial activities at Bain Capital have been good for Americans. The truth is that Romney has spent his career offshoring and outsourcing American production processes -- and associated jobs -- to countries like China where human labor is valued in the market at a very low wage rate.

TOP STORY >> Machines to undergo testing for primaries
Public Logic and Accuracy tests of Pulaski Countys touch-screen iVotronic voting machines and optical scanners were to be conducted Wednesday, according to Susan Inman, director of the Pulaski County Election Commission, and one such machine will be in use at each of the nine early voting sites by Thursday or Friday.
She had hoped to use most or all of the 156 machines delivered to the county for early voting, which runs through May 22, but they were not properly programmed.
The public tests are required by state law, but the individual machines were tested satisfactorily Tuesday at the warehouse where they are stored, Inman said.
The county was to have several voting machines at each of the nine early voting sites, but the software contractor, ES&S had problems getting the software program right.
Weve received out stuff, said Inman Tuesday. Late yesterday we got the flash cards (containing the programs.)
We initiated tests today and they seemed to be working.
Optical scanners read the paper ballots being used instead of the voting machines also have tested fine, she said.
Secretary of State Charlie Daniels had said that Pulaski County would not be among the 33 counties using the new voting machines, but Inman said there will be one at each site during early voting. Daniels said voters could begin using the new iVotronic touch-screen voting machines as soon as theyve had enough time to test the software.
The new voting machines are working perfectly in White County, where the software arrived just two days before early voting began.
I havent heard anybody complain about the touch screen, said Leslie Miller, who works for White County Clerk Tanya Burleson as voter registration clerk. Most people have had some experience with touch screens by now, she said. A lot of the ATM machines have gone to touch screens.
Turnout has been good, she said. We had 115 the first day. Normally wed have 50 or 60. I think people are catching on to early voting.
Early voting at the White County Courthouse is from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. However, on May 22, the day before the primary, voting ends at 5 p.m., to allow workers to prepare for the primary.

Have you tried restarting your phone? After installing and uninstalling all of those apps a restart would probably improve the problems you're having.
2. Re: phone keeps freezing?budone Aug 7, 2010 1:29 PM (in response to spottedcatfish)
Spottedcatfish is correct, have you power cycled the phone??? I tend to do it twice a day. I have an app (Device Information) that shows memory detail and RAM is just sucked up throughout the day.
Once I power cycle the phone, the memory is where it should be.
3. Re: phone keeps freezing?dabubbakin Aug 8, 2010 8:48 PM (in response to kimiko23)Agreed... sounds like too much going on. I've also had better luck rebooting phone after major install/uninstall of apps.

The Southern Spitter— Wayne was always the clear cut star of the Hot Boys. Being the only member to stick with Cash Money, Wayne spent a four album stretch rapping almost exclusively over Mannie Fresh production. It was this conditioning that gave him his signature bounce flow, as well as a keen ear for melody and hook-writing, an integral foundation to his later success. This particular talent is evident in early cuts like B.G.'s hit "Bling Bling".
Game Changers: Lil Wayne Edition
The Mixtape King— Wayne's mixtape streak is an undeniable feat. Somewhere between Carter 2 and 3 marked the time where Weezy really became obsessed with his craft, releasing tape after tape, with plenty of leaked tracks to fill the void. Nothing proves the rapper's passion like the persistent onslaught of free material Wayne released during this time, and with mixtapes like Dedication 2, and Drought 3, not only did he increase interest in the format, he produced much of his best work. Not to mention, the punchline based style developed in this era influenced rappers for years to come.
The Spacy, Lean Sipper— Codeine is a hell of a drug. Wayne's love affair with his styrofoam cup was not only a visible mainstay in his videos, it also had a large effect on his music. Best evidenced in the surreal ode to dirty sprite "I Feel Like Dying", this era was a time where Wayne turned his punchline rap into a more obtuse, experimental style. It was also around this point where Wayne first used autotune on his voice. Rather than the smoothed out sound that most artists desire from the effect, the pitch correction added a decidedly garbled quality to Wayne's already croaky delivery. It's hard to imagine an artist like fellow autotuned-gurgler Future existing without this era of Tunechi.
The In-Demand Feature— Rappers like Rick Ross and 2 Chainz have done a good job of ruling the feature game in recent years, but there was a long minute in time where Wayne was unavoidable. Who can forget his scene-stealing appearances on "Make It Rain" or "We Takin' Over"? This was the start of Wayne having a consistently visible presence in Hip Hop, one he would later continue even through his 8-month prison sentence.
The "Best Rapper Alive"— Wayne had self-proclaimed his status as "Best Rapper Alive" as early as the first edition of the Carter series, but it wasn't until the anticipation around the Carter 3 and the question of whether the rapper would drop a classic, that it became a talking point. Tha Carter 3 exemplified a version of Wayne that brought together his many personas into one project. The album housed the gigantic pop smash "Lollipop", which still serves as his biggest hit to date, as well as "A Milli", one of his hardest tracks, which inspired dozens of rappers to go in on the Bangladesh beat themselves, only to fall remarkably short of Wayne's take. The album sold over a million copies its first week, and earned several Grammy nominations. While it's difficult to objectively call a rapper the best, having respect from the pop world, the critics, and the streets gets you pretty close, and this moment saw Wayne doing just that.
The Young Money Leader— Once Wayne had conquered the rap game, he took a note from his father figure, Birdman, and began to assemble his own team of artists. Amongst the mostly forgettable signees were the future bonafide superstars Drake, and Nicki Minaj (as well as notable up-and-comer Tyga). The two artists have managed to reach a level of success almost on the level of Wayne himself, and have changed the game in their own ways since.
The Rap Icon— Wayne has reached a point where his big name-status in hip hop is pretty set in stone. Amidst a drought of record sales, Carter IV managed to move nearly a million units in its first week (no telling whether Birdman has thousands of purchased copies stashed away in a warehouse somewhere). When it comes to rapping, Tunechi has admitted his interests lie elsewhere at the moment, but can still rip a verse when he really wants to. Here's hoping that Wayne can re-grasp the sincere passion he had for rapping from his earlier days, but either way, the N.O. rapper has established a name for himself that won't be fading anytime soon, and the game wouldn't be the same without it.
Underrated Audio: January 22-28
HNHH's "Underrated Audio" puts you on not-too-mainstream music you might have missed from the past week.
Game Changers is a new HNHH feature that highlights artists that have left a strong mark on hip hop. Whether it be through creativity, influence, exposure, or just plain good timing, a game changer is someone who has brought something to rap where the game just wouldn't be the same without them.
Game Changers is a new HNHH feature that highlights artists that have left a strong mark on hip hop. Whether it be through creativity, influence, exposure, or just plain good timing, a game changer is someone who has brought something to rap where the game just wouldn't be the same without them.
In our first entry to the series, we're covering New Orleans legend Lil Wayne. Weezy has been a household name for quite some time now, but it's easy to forget that the rapper has been around for over 15 years. The rap industry is a young man's game, and it sees most emcees peaking with their early releases. Few are able to overcome this career tangent, but Wayne's ascension into superstardom is more in line with constantly growing and experimenting artists like Jay-Z or Kanye West.
Like these artists, Wayne's career can be divided pretty evenly into different eras. We've seen him as the Mannie Fresh-assisted Louisiana bounce rapper, the mixtape punchline-fiend, the unavoidable feature assassin, the left-field, lean-sipping weirdo, the Young Money frontman and the seasoned rap icon. While not all of his experiments have hit their mark (let's not forget 2010's disastrous Rebirth... on second thought, let's.), Wayne's various personas have managed to consistently influence the rap climate. Take a look at our list of Weezy's several incarnations, and how each has changed the game in one way or another.
