Abstract: We all know that when we rotate a container with liquid is produced the physical phenomenon called vortex, so we have to agree that this is part of the dynamics of oceans on earth. These covering 70% of Earth's surface, rotate the 40.000 kilometers of the equator in 24 hours. Panamá is immersed between the two largest oceans on the planet within 9 degrees north where the absolute speed is greater than 450m/s. An "open sky spillway" of 70 kilometers between them, in one of the two times daily that reach their remarkable difference in tides, would permit to form by simple gravity a flow of seawater that would include a hydraulic pressure gradient against a dam parallel to the rotation of the Earth. Our calculations indicate that it can generate all the clean energy (oceanogenic power) that requires modern civilization; in such small stages that can be served simultaneously base loads, transient and peak loads of each and of all markets. Background: Since 1997 when the Cold War finished, we have access to the database compiled from numerous and simultaneous altimetry measurements1. This database currently continues to grow, both in content and in satellite missions, even with new parameters that in turn generates new analysis. These data are the best measure in the history that defines the ellipsoid that coincides with the earth: Or in a plane, using polar coordinates: a (equatorial radius of the earth)2 = 6,378,136.6 meters b (polar radius of the earth) 2 = 6,356,751.9 meters θ latitude r radius in the given latitude With that we calculate the difference in radius between both axes: 21384.7 meters and expression of r: Because the ocean surface is liquid, this one must coincide almost perfectly with this geometric figure. Any discrepancies are mainly due to gravitational forces outside our planet and were not included in our calculations because they are much smaller compared to Earth's own gravity and its centrifugal force. Altimetry justify us in this. 1 http://earth.esa.int/brat/html/data/product_list_en.html 2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Geodetic_System 2 We also consider the widely recognized theory that beneath the crust on which rests the ocean is the Earth's mantle, which has a higher viscosity but ultimately it must comply with the laws of hydraulics and since it is virtually the mass of planet, we can simplify what is lacking to the object of analysis. From the energy point of view we can calculate: Which evaluated with: (water density) (tangential velocity of the earth rotation in Panama) (minimum relative velocity of the water body) We obtain:456.5 Kw/m3 (variation of kinetic energy in reducing by one meter per second to one cubic meter of the ocean in Panama, or the power to cause that speed change to that volume.) Earth ellipsoid: Considering an homogeneous mass, incompressible, of any viscosity and of the size of our planet, spinning, similarly, alone in space. Gravity and centrifugal force are balanced by the hydrostatic force when the fluid surface adopts a slope that generates the necessary tangential force and a vertical (normal) that it is the hydrostatic. So knowing the non-hydrostatic forces, we can determine the equation of the form that the fluid surface acquires, in accordance to some accepted simplifications: G universal gravitational constant M mass of Earth angular velocity with which the Earth spins unit vectors By symmetry we reduce the three-dimensional analysis to any of the planes including the axis of rotation. We also consider the force of gravity directed toward a central point. In a second approach would have to consider the displacement of masses, which would alter the direction of gravity. But also in this case the surface would accommodate to form a curve of constant hydrostatic pressure which ultimately will allow us to demonstrate our conclusions. From Equation 5 and the slope of a geometric figure: 3 Which shows this: Whereas in the pole of this geometric figure r = b: V is the velocity of rotation at any latitude and h is the difference with the radio at the pole. And if we add in Ecuador r = a: The last part of 7 is a more accurate conclusion that infer that equation 8 is almost a perfect ellipsoid, like expressed in 2. Because much of the earth is magma, we conclude, from our theoretical approach, which hydraulic force produces such form because of its ceaseless rotation, which explains why the theoretical gravity equation3 includes the centrifugal force as 5, that corresponds to an ellipsoid. The vortex: Each particle of fluid in a rotating container is subjected to a centrifugal force balanced by hydrostatic pressure, which is caused by the weight of the liquid perpendicular to the turning radius. A gradient of the height of the liquid produces the pressure differential which balances the centrifugal force on the differential of mass of the liquid in the differential volume formed by the differential of the radius of rotation and the differential of the surface that is the same where it exerted the hydrostatic pressure: h surface height of the liquid in the container g gravity r radius from the axis of vortex ω angular velocity Hence it: Where V is the tangential velocity and ho is the height of the liquid in the axis. 3 http://geophysics.ou.edu/solid_earth/notes/potential/igf.htm 4 Now consider the case of a solid sphere with Earth's gravity. This is the case expressed by the Equation 5 but with r = R (constant) + h. We get the same result. Therefore, no matter the form of submerged solid surface, from one plane to a sphere, within any fluid subjected to vortex, the depth gradient with respect to any isobaric surface is the same. Then by its liquid condition, the oceans must demonstrate the depth variation expressed in 7 or 10. The vortex Earth: Mathematically in the previous section we conclude that the ellipsoidal surface of the oceans is preserved although the submerged crust be irregular, which coinciding with the simple observation of our seas, demonstrates our coherence to achieve the practical purposes of our premise. Also infer that: the difference in depth is V2/2g; the surface of the oceans will outline the Geoid of the Earth and that as the Earth's crust isolates the mantle, which also complies with the analysis made, the total difference of the radii on our planet from the pole is: One half of the mantle and the other of oceans. The zero is the result of subtracting two constants likewise corresponding. If we substitute the respective measured values of the equatorial and polar radii of the earth we shall see that this equation predicts the difference of the same and the whole demonstration predicts that while the poles are frozen, the maximum depth of the oceans in any latitude is half of the calculated with this formula. Have also been measured how much and where the points of greatest depth4,5,6 in the oceans. Panamá: Panamá is within 9 degrees north. For these reasons, the derivative of the ocean component of the formula 11 predicts that a variation of the absolute velocity of the Earth on any seawater body it would produce a water head; wave or hydraulic pressure gradient at right angles to water movement and beginning from any point with zero relative speed, which will determine the respective boundary and/or depth reference. 4 http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/383165/Milwaukee-Depth 5 http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2004/CuiMiuChin.shtml 6 http://www.eoearth.org/article/Ocean 5 In the case of Panama, considering the properties of vectors and that water is a Newtonian fluid, we get: Where is the radius of curvature, and are unit vectors and is distance, parallel to the meridians from the point = 0 and towards the equator. In an open sky channel is the perpendicular distance to closest wall. The effect is similar to the Coriolis7 acceleration phenomenon in higher latitudes and the tsunamis present it at its source. Be required to produce it artificially, and worse permanent, hydraulic pumps that do not exist, or atomic bombs. 7 http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/kits/currents/05currents3.html 6 However in Panama, the Pacific and Atlantic are 37.5 miles apart and have tides with differences of 2 to 4 meters twice a day every day. The Atlantic, virtually, doesn't have tides, while the Pacific raises twice what was said in the entire Gulf of Panama, which measures about 40,000 square kilometers. Hydraulic and statically means an average of 800 terawatts. The whole world needs 17 terawatts for all kinds of energy. 8 Spilling the Pacific in the Atlantic with an "open sky spillway" and with suitable structures during a high tide and by simple gravity, it's feasible to form a controlled flow and generate the pressure gradient needed to produce the renewable clean energy we need, with the profitability, the reliability and scalability we need. Like any barley hydraulic pump, the low tide does not will stop the operation. Oceanogenic Power: At the mouth of the Bayano river in Panama, almost by one of the routes studied for the Panama Canal in the two previous centuries, we have one of the 60 kilometers between the Pacific and the Atlantic for the first oceanogenic power plant: 8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_resources_and_consumption 7 The 40 kilometers marked are one of several possible dams and dikes to make a field of 500 to 10.000 hydraulic turbines of low power. This solves the control of demand, even at peak times, a feature ever desired in any hydropower but dismissed as impossible as can not be vary the water head defined exclusively by the the flow rate and the bed of their respective rivers. This also applies to the few tidal plants profitable. In our case, Oceanogenic Power, the three parameters are design variables. Its values shall be determined by the base load, transient and peak loads required by the partner countries or by the selected energy markets. It is definitely a new paradigm. In Darien by another of the routes planned for the Panama Canal there is another possibility that reveals how to further improve the project profitability: The available power will be: Q = flow rate of the spillway in m3/second = specific weight of water10,000 Newton / m3 The turbines will be installed at different heights and might be of different sizes. 8 The energy does not is created, is transformed: The above phenomenon is the result of three well-known hydraulic topics: Hydraulic jump, the vortex and the hydraulic pump. The Oceanogenic Energy is obtained from the tides and the rotation of the earth, the latter most likely produced by the collision of particles and energy from the sun: with the gravities of the Moon and the Earth we change the speed of seawater breaking the balance of our "cosmic vortex" that creates a hydraulic jump perpendicular to the motion, which then pours into the emptiness formed in the same direction. Then the whole planet retrieves the energy of water, a small part of 800 Tw, which allows to keep and control the flow following the initial priming. It's a true chain reaction but this one is cold. Because the water is poured in the Atlantic, it cannot return to the Pacific until at least go to Cape Horn and driven by the planet recover its initial status in the Gulf of Panama. In the following pages are summarized in maps of the Isthmus of Panama and its seas, the result of the altimeter measurements and, their recognized analysis. Besides showing the huge bulge of power, give us the evidence that in the oceans already occurring "the cosmic prodigy" described as which finally makes its exploitation feasible. 9 Here, currents up to 25 centimeters per second. Is the cause of the change of mean sea surface level that shown on the map of the next page. These have been prepared by AVISO (Archiving, Validation and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic); DORIS (Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite); NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration); NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), DEOS (Delft Institute for Earth-Oriented Space research); ESA (European Space Agency) among others, and confirms the formulas derived earlier this document. 10 In dark green it seen the silhouette of the Isthmus of Panama, and the scale shows differences in mean sea level from 10 to 15 meters which corresponds exactly to replace in the formula 12 speeds around 25 centimeters per second as says the map on previous page.. 11 Economic considerations: We have done a picture of alternatives and their estimated costs, fully scalable and proportional to the newly opened Three Gorges hydropower of 22.5 GW9, 417 million monthly charge at a rate of 5 ¢ / kWh and a cost of 40 billion including the 15 billion of environmental damage10. Although it is useful to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposal, we have chosen exclude this last fact in our calculations. gross Width of Depth of Input Installed hydroelectric Cost monthly spillway spillway speed Capacity 9 income (mts) (mts) (m/s) (Gw) ( 10 $ ) Dam Length 9 (mts) ( 10 $) 1 300 30 45.7 1 4 446 14 0.144 2 300 40 45.7 1 5.4 574 16 0.194 3 300 40 45.7 1 5.5 570 33 0.197 4 2000 40 45.7 1 36.4 2065 98 1.3 5 2000 40 45.7 1 36.5 2065 175 1.3 6 2000 40 228.5 5 914 3624 310 33 7 8000 40 500 10 16,000 14,000 1,500 577 These estimates do not include transit of ships; or deep water ports in the Pacific; or the social and tourist appeal of the offshore long vehicular corridor; nor the economic advantages of an extense coastline with artificial beaches, tideless and surf on demand. The first two rows are smaller projects with earth spillway and reinforced soil where needed. 3 is an estimate equal to 2, except that it includes a spillway made entirely of concrete. The row of red, or 4, it is important for California, USA. Allow supply of the equivalent of 15 nuclear plants they need, but prohibited by environmental requirements of their people. And in this case the spillway is again only of land. From option 5 are required concrete spillways to control erosion caused by water velocity, only way to go to the next levels of energy generation. Row 6 is more that all the electricity currently used by the Americas. The last corresponds to the entire world today, that although the water head of 500 meters and the concrete spillway of 8 km wide and 40 meters deep represent two big challenges is already possible to define scalability using the same barrier for water and the same route to enlarge or build additional spillways in parallel. The absolute costs seem high, even compared to the Three Gorges. But not, doing some comparative calculations we realize two valuable and unique features of Oceanogenic Power suggested by us: the ability to produce and market all the installed capacity (first plant factor 100% of history) and scalability. On the one hand with its plant factor 51% , the plant Three Gorges would charge $417 million monthly to 5 cents per kwh and 22.5 GW installed; while on the other, at the same price, our paradigm in the first case would charge $144 million monthly and 4 GW installed. In China we are talking about 1,111.11 $ invested per installed kilowatt ($i/ikw) and annually 4,448 kwhour per installed kilowatt (kwh/ikw) and cannot grow; while in Panama would be 3.500 $i/ikw and 8.760 kwh/ikw in the project 1; with today's technology it could escalate to the red row, to 2,692.31 $i/ikw and 8.760 kwh/ikw and in the future to 339.17 or 93.75 $i/ikw always at 8.760 kwh/ikw. Until the third row the financial balance is achieved with 5 cents per kilowatt-hour; while the rest to 1 cent per kilowatt-hour. 9 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Gorges_Dam 10 http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSPEK84588 12 PROJECT $ invested/instaled Kw ($i/ikw) Kwhour/instaled kw (kwh/ikw) China 1,111.11 4,448 Panamá 1 3,500.00 8,760 Panamá 4 2,692.31 8,760 Panamá 6 339.17 8,760 If one includes all clean and efficient projects that already exist in America and the world, here is a real solution to energy problems that are causing the current world economic crisis. In any case, but according to other calculations would be more profitable in Darien, the spillway can simply be renamed navigation canal. It wouldn't be a rival to the current Panama Canal, even expanded, as in this case the vessels would be greater than the post-panamax. That is, the world's biggest ships today and tomorrow, that cannot pass through the current nor future Panama Canal. The implied yield of this activity (only the new route that would open to transport crude to China would pay) allows us to remove (or sharing) from equation of project costs, the exaggerated 7 to 70 billion (24 to 147 of concrete) for the construction of the respective spillways of 70 kilometers between the oceans that we need to harness the oceanogenic power. This would improve all of the financial ratios with respect to any current and future hydropower. The final table would be: PROJECT $ invested/instaled Kw ($i/ikw) Kwhour/instaled kw (kwh/ikw) China 1,111.11 4,448 Panamá 1 1,750.00 8,760 Panamá 4 769.23 8,760 Panamá 6 178.33 8,760 13 Marketing: Besides converting to Panama and its neighbors in industrial and commercial clusters, the availability of "lot of clean energy", will make finally practical, all kinds of refining: seawater to produce potable water, hydrogen, oxygen and deuterium ; remains of cheap petroleum to produce plastics and other similar products recyclable; and biomass for fuel we need, but this time, renewable. So, allow a peaceful transition towards a new global infrastructure more environmentally friendly. The new lines UHVDC11 can carry the 35 Gigawatts that needs California12, USA. And what their developers visualized, its suggested global network, shown at right (yellow); is feasible in less time than is needed for this project if we add the advances in superconducting, coaxial lines, and electronics. Of course, the obstacle is that until this discovery, we planned only to distribute, from temperate zones, energy produced by the powerful and dangerous infrastructure based on nuclear fission. 11 http://bravenewclimate.com/2009/03 /03/could-uhvdc-be-a-killer-app-for- solving-climate-change/ 12 http://www.caiso.com/Pages/Todays Outlook.aspx 14

SWMBO has been making cupcakes out of chocolate cake mix and diet coke recently. Somehow the diet coke makes the batter 'work' and it actually tastes very similar to the 'real' cupcake mix.
So last weekend we brought some of these to a friends house and our friend said "man thats so weird that it works! I wonder what else would?" And the light bulb went off. Stout Cupcakes!!
Tonight I did it....I actually only did a half batch just to see if it would work. For a normal batch it would be 1 pkg chocolate cake mix + ~8oz of Guinness (thats what I used but any stout would do) Mix it up and treat it like a normal batter.
It's actually really good! It's chocolaty but with a definite roasty stouty aftertaste.
Give it a try
Nice! I want to try this. Except maybe with a porter.
My roommate made a cake with a Belgian Strong Ale. She did it when I was away, but reports that it's really good, that bitch.
They did this on the Food Network a while back and it looked really good. I forgot about it until reading this. Here is there recipe if anyone needs a jumping off point:Food Network's Chocolate Stout Cupcakes
mmmmmmm... Guiness cupcakes. I'm going to have to give this a try.
Sounds awesome!
SWMBO and I have plans to make Abbey Tripel ice cream and mocha chocolate stout ice cream. Anyone with an ice cream maker is welcome to beat us to the punch but we're looking forward to it.
I made a guinness cupcake once and it was super delicious!! I'm gonna try it next time with the porter I'm brewing.
I'm not sure if I was clear in this...maybe I was...I don't know
The ONLY ingredients in this is the cake mix + the stout (or diet coke if thats what you're going for) NO eggs, oil etc.
oh, i missed that part....
what made your SWMBO try it with just diet coke?
I will for sure give these a shot in the near future. Thanks for the tip.
She saw it on some website....they're less calories and fat and blah blah blah..

"I'm sure that there is nothing that could be more distracting, disturbing and estranging to me than a continued evidence of indifference on your part. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and today Saturday and no sentiments of affection nor expressions of love," 26-year-old Lyndon Baines Johnson wrote to Lady Bird on September 15, 1934, ten days after their initial meeting.
Lyndon had famously proposed to Lady Bird, only 21, at the end of their first date, breakfast at the Driskill Hotel followed by a drive through the countryside. Lady Bird, though she found the young congressional secretary "handsome and charming and terribly bright," held back, wary to label this rush of initial interest as love. But the pair spent the next several days together, visiting Stonewall to meet his parents and the King Ranch to see the Klebergs. Lyndon then returned to Washington.
Over the next nine weeks, Lyndon and Lady Bird would continue their courtship at a distance, exchanging some 90 letters, postcards, and telegrams, up until they "committed matrimony," in Lady Bird's words, on November 17 at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, in San Antonio. Until today, only seven of those had been released to researchers or the public.
"Many elements of their personality that we have come to know about them later in their lives show up in these letters," said Regina Greenwell, a senior archivist at the LBJ Library. "You see LBJ's ambition, determination, and persuasive powers."
The earlier letters are characterized by Lyndon's insistence that Bird declare she reciprocated his feelings. "Tell me soon, dear, just how you know you do feel—if feel you do," Lyndon wrote in late September. "Your lack of decision hasn't tempered either my affection, devotion or ability to know what I want."
But, despite Lyndon's repeated declarations, Lady Bird remained cautious: "Your letter yesterday sort of put me on the spot, didn't it, dear? All I can say, in absolute honesty, is—I love you, I don't know how everlastingly I love you,—so I can't answer you yet," she wrote on September 26. In mid-October she was still advocating that they proceed prudently: "I don't want you to love me too completely—I don't want you to urge me to marry you any more until January, when we see each other," she wrote. "Must you have all or nothing? I love you more than anyone—and in a great many ways, my dear—tender and gay and deep and passionate . . . But we must wait until we know each other better—until there isn't any doubt—until we're sure we've a solid enough foundation to build on."
And even after she had accepted Lyndon's proposal in early November, Lady Bird tried to explain to him that the decision had shocked her family and friends:
Darling, darling the reason I talk and act the way I do is because everybody is so constantly urging me to 'wait two or three months,' 'wait-wait,' 'two months isn't long enough to have known the man you're to marry,' 'if he loves you he'll wait for you'—and so on until my head aches. By all these 'everybody' I mean ... all the people who've known me since I was born and loved me so much.
But, for all the handwringing over the briefness of the courtship, the letters also contain much sweetness from both parties: "Your letters mean so much that when I don't get one in the morning mail my stock immediately starts going down," Lyndon wrote in late September. And, a few weeks later, Lyndon declared that one particularly touching letter from Bird was "more incontrovertible evidence that you are the greatest girl in the world." And Lady Bird, for all her initial reticence, quickly shifted to warmth: "Goodnight, dearest. I love you, very much. I wish you were here this minute because I feel silly and gay and I want to ruffle up your hair and kiss you and say silly things!"
Below, scans of two of the original letters and transcripts of them. The full collection can be viewed at the LBJ Library's website .
September 11, 1934 - Lyndon's first letter to Lady Bird
[September 11, 1934]
Tuesday Night –
After ten –
Dearest Bird;
I feel almost like Huey Long must feel this time tonight as im partial returns come in from New Orleans and slowly indicate the defeat of his candidates. My campaign was much briefer--marked by less excitement and pronounced outwardly disturbance yet just as disturbing to the soul.
It was hard to leave you today. It is always hard to feel that you haven't quite won--tho' there may be some hope left in tomorrow. I had so hoped to feel when I left you that you would want to go with me but if you did--I didn't understand it that way.
Knowing you has been one of my greatest pleasures. You know, I think, that you mean everything to me. I hope I may mean equally as much to you.
It is hard to tell you thro' the medium of words what how satisfying and gratifying it was to be with you in your home. I beamed with pride as you played the part of the lady of the house. I breathed a sight of relief when I met your Dad but only a minute later I enjoyed a self soul satisfaction that only a good father could give his daughter's lover. I want to and must know him better. While his baby is trying to make up her mind I'll try to know the Daddy better.
We had a delightful trip to Memphis. Lunch in Texarkana—a cold drink at Little Rock and dinner here. No trouble but lots of explaining and denying.
We will probably spend tomorrow night in Bristol, Va. and drive to the Capital Thursday.
I hope my letter is waiting for me.
Before leaving I called Mrs. Boehringer and had a pleasant talk with her. Of course I insisted that she get you and Gene off to Washington

BEST rental in Jim Thorpe!
We've rented many houses over the past 20 years and this, by far, was the BEST! It was inviting, warm, cozy and relaxing! Michael, the owner, was amazingly helpful and answered all questions promptly. He has thought of everything imaginable and more you could need or want from a rental. The house is less than a mile from the main intersection of town and provided us with a nice walk each day...sometimes twice! We will definitely be back! Thanks Michael!
Awesome vacation home!
The Cottage is super clean and perfect for a nice getaway with friends/family. As soon as we walked through the door, it truly felt like a second home. The Cottage came with pretty much everything we needed for a nice, relaxing Labor day weekend. The deck was a great selling point and did not disappoint. Last but not least, MIchael could not have been more pleasant or easier to work with. Thanks again for everything!

[quote]by Martha Quetsch
ELBURN—Two Elburn business operators want the village to expand the number of hours they can sell alcohol under the current municipal liquor code.
Kevin Schmidt, owner of Schmidt's Towne Tap in downtown Elburn, asked the Village Board on Monday for permission to open his bar at 11 a.m. on Sunday instead of at noon as currently allowed under his Class A liquor license.
Currently, restaurants, clubs and taverns may not sell alcohol on Sundays until noon. However, liquor stores in the village may sell packaged liquor starting at 10 a.m. on Sunday.
Schmidt said since the village allows liquor stores to sell alcohol Sunday morning, bars should have the same privilege.
"I want to be able to open the doors (of Schmidt's, a sports bar) at 11 a.m., for the pre-game shows,†Schmidt said.
Also on Monday, Hughes Creek Golf Club manager Heather Espe requested that the village allow clubs that hold a Class F liquor license, including Hughes, to begin selling alcohol at 9 a.m. on weekdays and at 8 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
"We have golfers who want a beer or a bloody Mary at the (course) turn,†Espe said. "It would be a nice added bonus for us, since our competitors (Bliss Creek Golf and Tanna Farms golf clubs) can do it.â€
Trustee Jerry Schmidt said he supports both the proposed Class F and Class A liquor code changes.
"I think it's good for Elburn,†Schmidt said.
Trustees Gordon Dierschow and Patricia Romke also said they support allowing the earlier liquor sales.
If the Village Board approves the Class F and Class A ordinance changes, all businesses in the village that hold those liquor licenses would be affected, not just Schmidt's and Hughes Creek.
Trustee Bill Grabarek said he is hesitant about permanently allowing the sale of liquor at bars before noon on Sunday, as opposed to just permitting a temporary variance during football season.
Grabarek said that before the board votes on the proposed liquor-code change for Class A licenses, he wants to gauge community sentiment about the issue.
"Do they really want the bars to open at 11 a.m. (Sunday)?†Grabarek asked.
The Village Board possibly will vote on the proposed changes on Monday, Aug. 2.
Liquor stores in Elburn, which hold Class C liquor licenses, would not be affected by either proposed liquor-code change.

Day 1- Application of numbing cream comes first. During the procedure, I am kept comfortable under a blanket and warming pad. This feels great as there is a hose with cold air being blown on me during the treatment.The treatment is not unbearable. There is a slight amount of discomfort associated with it. The cool air helps. Afterwards, my skin is red and very hot.Pinpoint bleeding has begun. The redness increases as the night goes on. Through the night, I sleep with my head elevated. My skin is oozing and swelling sets in.
Day 2 - My face is swollen, the skin is extremely sensitive and very red. There is not much more pinpoint bleeding. My skin is still oozing due to the open sores. Some spots have started to scab over. I continue to keep the skin very clean and moist
Day 3- Swelling is the worse today. Scabbing has begun and some areas are still oozing. I can see the pattern of the smartxide in my skin
Day 4- Swelling is starting to subside, where there was pinpoint bleeding there are now scabs. Very liitle oozing. Some areas are darkening. I continue to keep my skin very moist to facilitate peeling
Day 5- Still swollen and red. however, I actually feel pretty good about myself even if I am not ready to go in public yet. Some of the darkened spots have started to flake off after my shower, some scabs have loosened (don't pick them!!) I can see healing has truly begun
Day 6-Swelling has subsided but the areas where I was treated more aggressively are still very red and tender. Once the swelling goes down, you may not see a huge improvement immediately, but have faith!! It is coming!!
Day 7 Still have lots of flaky skin that I cover up with mineral make up. I don't wear it at home, only to go out. I am still keeping my skin very moist. Now is the time to make sure you have a great skin care regime on hand
Very important to remember:
Never pick, make sure your hands are very clean before touching your face
Keep skin moist
Expect to have some downtime. Swelling, redness, scabbing are normal
The best results are seen 6 months post
Stay out of sun completely while healing. It is critical to not burn the new skin.
You must commit to sunscreen from here on in
Make sure you have a great skin care regimen. Talk to a pro about what is best for you
Latest update:
I am 6 months post Smartxide. I have many people telling me how great my skin looks! This is when you see the full result of the treatment. Please don't judge until you have had a chance to recover 100% and your skin starts to re build. I have seen lots of reviews where this was given a bad rating. When reading those reviews, it appears because the reviewer was uninformed about what to expect. Ask questions!!
Smartxide -Ontario, CA
Day 1- Application of numbing cream comes first....

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, discussed single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example t...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality. These challenges can't be addressed w...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

Alison, Would you happen to know where in Ireland your Daniel McIlwee was born? Any info on any McIlwees that went from Ireland to Scotland would be greatly appreciated. My James McElwee born 1827 in County Donegal, Ireland went to Scotland in the 1840s and married in Glasgow in 1853. The family then moved to the Shotts area in 1865 and on to America (Colorado) in 1881. Thank you, Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Pennsylvania.

any ideas what your LO's are going to be? there isn't much cuter that a little little one dressed up:)
I just got Piper's costume the other day. I am all excited. one of my favorite "holidays" and she will be able to participate a little bit more this year. we are going to boo at the zoo at the philadelphia zoo for sure, and maybe we will do a little trick or treating. but- i will be 3 weeks away from my due date, so i am not sure how much walking i will be up to then. maybe we will just visit some of the neighbors here at our apartments
I was at a thrift store and found a Pooh Bear costume for her for 2.50:) the tags are still crunchy and new looking. so- that was my deciding factor
