Sweet Potato-Pear Soup Recipe
Serve this flavorful soup in glasses, and set up a soup shooters bar for holiday guests to add their own toppings.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup yellow onion, diced
1 cup butternut squash, peeled, seeded (set seeds aside) and diced
1 cup pear, peeled and diced
1 cup sweet potato, peeled and diced
2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 can (15 ounces) coconut milk (or less for a thicker soup)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
ground white pepper to taste
garnishes - shredded coconut, roasted squash seeds, paprika, crumbled bacon and rosemary
1. Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced onion, butternut squash, pears and sweet potatoes. Add a little Kosher salt and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are translucent and vegetables are soft.
2. Add broth, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 30-40 minutes until vegetables are really soft.
3. Puree the soup in batches in a food processor until smooth. Pour into a clean Dutch oven. Add coconut milk (shake well before opening can), Kosher salt, ginger and white pepper.
4. Keep soup on low heat to allow all flavors to infuse together. Serve in glasses as shooters.
5. To make roasted seeds, preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place seeds in a small bowl and coat with olive oil and salt. Roast in oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

How can you not create a guild name? You have the entirety of language at your disposal...

I've always been a fan of the one word guild names, usually an abstract word. <Wraith> <Ensidia> <method> <Refuge>
<Identity Crisis> US-Horde Mythic
> twitch.tv stream <
First thing - what is your guild about? Raiding? PvP? Casual? Leveling? Collectors? Little bit of everything?
<The Hard R> and <Set Course for Pie> are two guild names I have thought of with friends and they were both formed from inside jokes.

LATIN: - using Google Translate
Potentia et Ui (Power and Force)
Mundus Elite (mundus meaning world)
Vocate ad Gloria (Call to Glory)
Mors Antequam Honorantibus (Death Before Dishonor)
If you are a raiding type guild, shorter 1 to 2 word guild names seem to be the most common i.e Paradox/Requiem/Sovereign Might. PVP guilds tend to have more fun with their names i.e Class Trainer/Sapping and Tapping/Hardcore Pwnstars (be careful with the last, it can get reported for rename.)
And for Pete's sake, don't use a Latin name, nothing more annoying than seeing someone in the guild, and asking them what their guild name means and their response is "IDK...lol". While the core of your group may understand it, as you expand it is inevitable to get a guildie who has no idea what the name means.
"Allons-y!" - David Tennant - 10th Doctor.
"Bow ties are cool." - Matt Smith - 11th Doctor.
A no longer playing buddy of mine ran one called "So Say We All". I'd probably just borrow that.

Please do not list guild names that are offensive - ML
Last edited by MoanaLisa; 2012-11-21 at 06:48 PM. Reason: Removing offensive guild name suggestion
Honestly? If you already have a group of people to form it with and aren't just gong to petition strangers until you find enough, then I'd poll them on the "mood" and then "theme" of the guild.
If it's fun, go with a pun name or a reference. ("Blue Box Companions", "Undercuts by One Copper", "Twenty Percent Cooler") If it's a raiding guild looking to hop on the bandwagon of "Let's be like the top guilds" then take their name and find a synonym. ("Plasma Legion", "Exemplar", "Somatic Event") If it's going to be a big PVP guild you can go a lot of ways depending on the attitude involved. ("Gank Me We Camp You", "Buncha Rogues", "BG Disaster", "Arena Mismatch", "Trench Warcraft")
It's all about finding what defines the guild and the people within. Or just taking the name of another guild on a different server and pretending you didn't do it.
Currently trying to experiences all classes at 100. Count so far: 9.

Dromey Heeter's Down to Earth
A birthday party at a landfill? It'll be fun and earth-friendly
Lilly will turn 11 and we'll bring "Dirt," a concoction of gummy worms and Oreo cookies by which to celebrate her day with her classmates. We'll sing "Happy Birthday" before we go on the tour of the landfills and gain an appreciation of the massive operation that is, indeed, the management of waste. And as we celebrate Lilly and our wonderful outing, we'll learn and practice the myriad of ways to recycle.
Last year, at a craft fair, I had a "Make an Offer Table" and a friend was thrilled when she found my red Brooks Brothers wrap, offered 10 bucks. She wore it the rest of the day. Have I ever missed that wrap? Nope. When I bought it, I'd imagined wrapping myself in it as I took trans-Atlantic flights to Paris. Truth is, I've not been to Paris for a very long time and a red Brooks Brothers wrap is just a bit much for my trans-town trips to Market Basket.
Susan Dromey Heeter's "Down to Earth" column appears monthly in the Union Leader's At Home section. Her other monthly column, "Budget Vogue", appears in the Lifestyles section of the New Hampshire Sunday News.

It is that time of year when marriage proposals are all around. This guy definitely pops the question in a unique style that is surely not to be forgotten.
For many girls watching the Rams and Cardinals on Sunday Night Football, the game wasn't the best part. It was the Cinderella marriage proposal on the big screen.
Our buddy Kyle had this on his social media page and we nearly laughed ourselves unconscious, weird things couples fight about.
Following suit with other states, Colorado has just become the latest state to lift its ban on same-sex marriage...almost.
Saturday night at Cheyenne Frontier Days before Clay Walker and Lady Antebellum took the stage, Johnathan jumped on stage and asked his girlfriend Alyssa to join him.
The good and the bad for Colorado when it comes to divorce lies in the statistics, is it time for you to get a divorce, here's your sign. Check the list and see if you should be throwing in the towel.
I have always said that married people should always date, even after the vows. No excuses, the number one reason couples divorce is because of communication or lack there of. So married or not its important to date, do you do keep any of the old fashioned dating habits?
When you've decided to get pregnant, most will likely just dive in. It seems like a fairly easy equation, you get together, you make a baby. But weeks or months go by and you still aren't pregnant. Here you'll find some fairly easy tricks to getting pregnant.
Mr. Right comes in all different shapes, sizes and personalities and what didn't work for another girl might be the perfect fit for you. I've seen it happen many times when two co-workers or even friends find out he other is dating an ex
Rodney Atkins and Rose Falcon got married earlier this month (Nov. 10) in a beautiful beachside ceremony. The couple graciously shared a three-and-a-half-minute wedding video, letting fans enjoy a look at their big day!
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill divorce rumors are not a new thing. Thankfully, all outward signs point to the couple being happily married, as has been the case for 17 years.

Evaluating all submissions against the same set of criteria can be done in a simple three-step process. Once created, the instructor can point and click within the cell that corresponds to the student's level of achievement. The rubric calculates the score based on the point value of the assignment, and if needed, the instructor can override any point value.
This session will specifically address how to enter your assessment question into the LOR Question Bank Manager. We will walk through the steps involved in completing this process.
Focus on utilizing ANGEL as a resource for your face-to-face course. We will walk step-by-step on how to post your syllabus, multiple ways to communicate with students, and how to post your grades. Every class is to have these essential components.
Learn about the gradebook settings and functionalities in ANGEL. We will walk through important settings and how to interact with them. This will also cover how students see the grades you have provided.
A new semester is approaching, now what do you do to prepare your course? It doesn't matter if you have been through the transition many times or if this is your first time. This session will show you the best way for you to transition your ANGEL materials from one semester to the next.
This one hour session is for faculty who are teaching face-to-face and meeting the college requirement to post the syllabus, set up the gradebook, and using a few communication tools.
Pre-registration is required. Select a session to register.
This two hour session is intended for faculty teaching an online or hybrid course or substantially using ANGEL for their face-to-face course. Training will cover posting the syllabus, setting up the gradebook, structuring the Canvas course, creating content, and grading and assessment.
Accessibility means developing content for a variety of users. The information is provided in a format that does not rely on a single sense or ability. This session will provide a few tips on "what to fix" to make accessible content for students. These tips are most applicable to online content but are also relevant for face-to-face content.
Google Apps gives you and your students online access anytime and anywhere to content and collaboration. This workshop will show you how to implement sharing, collaborating, researching, and analyzing into your course using Google Apps.
When you are preparing an exam in ANGEL there are test development factors that you can implement that will help to reduce testing issues and test lockups for you and your students. This session will provide examples of best practices and engage ideas from participants and answer questions.
Panopto is a user-friendly and flexible video capture and streaming solution that empowers instructors and students to enhance learning through the use of video. Panopto provides a method for delivering content and tools as a third-party integration for instructors to enable within their ANGEL courses.
This training session will walk you through capturing, editing, and sharing recordings of any classroom dynamic using Panopto.
If you have attended Panopto Getting Started Training this hands-on session will explore advanced recording and editing options, enabling student recording, and Panopto's mobile apps. Participants will also exchange tips and tricks for getting the most out of Panopto.
Attending a Panopto 1: The Basics is required before attending Panopto 2: Beyond the Basics.
A Turnitin drop box allows students to submit a paper and run an originality report to see if the paper contains plagiarism or similarities to other submitted work. Turnitin supports the writing process for students by enforcing good summarizing/synopsizing techniques and assists faculty in promoting academic integrity. The Turnitin drop box allows access to all Turnitin services (OriginalityCheck, GradeMark, and PeerMark) without having to leave the ANGEL environment or log into Turnitin directly. You will learn how to set up a Turnitin drop box and leave ready to use this service.
What is copyright law and what factors actually determine educational fair use? Did you know you and your students can avoid all that by using Open Educational Resources (OER)? Spoiler alert: No, we can't do anything we want with copyrighted materials just because it's for educational purposes.

33 year old woman | Miami, FL, USA | Seeking men 25-38 within 50 miles
Hi there, giving this a shot!
Not very good at writing about myself, but here it goes! I'm a very dedicated and loyal person who is independent and laid back. I believe in honesty and no games. I enjoy being active, traveling, cooking, big on going to the movies or relaxing at home with Netflix. I'm looking for someone who I can be myself with and can carry a conversation. I want someone who will listen, make me laugh, and enjoys travel. Someone who has similar interests and I'm finding that not being from Miami originally is proving it difficult to find someone who isn't into the Miami scene. Let me know if you have any other questions
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Playing cards , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Golf, Other types of exercise, Running, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I would love a German Shepherd, but I don't think it would be fair to keep him inside all day while I am at work!
Middle of the Road
I enjoy being outside when it's not too hot here in Miami, traveling, going to the movies, cooking, and reading.
I enjoy reading political thrillers and throw a few non-fictions in every few books. Recently read a John Grisham book and a Vince Flynn book.

Don't freak—right now, this is just a pilot program in Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee that will affect about 20,000 students in 40 schools, the Huffington Post reports.
Officials have yet to decide if increasing the hours spent in class per day or the number of days spent in school per year are the right choices (and such decisions will likely be made on school-by-school and district-by-district basis).
Why, oh, why, you ask? Officials say that extending the hours kids spend in class will allow for a more well-rounded education that includes the arts, and will help stop kids from falling behind in critical areas like math, science and reading.
What do you think about increasing the school day or lengthening the school year?

QUEENSBURY - An Au Sable Forks woman accused of having sex with an underage boy after providing him beer has been indicted on charges rape.
Joey Strong, 35, of Au Sable Forks was arrested in April on allegations that she had sex with a then-16-year-old boy while staying in a Queensbury hotel in late March.
The alleged incident occurred while Strong was chaperoning a group of teenage boys for a basketball tournament in Glens Falls. Police say Strong supplied at least four of the boys with alcohol, including the alleged victim.
In addition to third-degree rape, a felony, a Warren County grand jury indicted Strong on misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a child and unlawfully dealing with a child. Strong entered a plea of not guilty Sept. 16.
Police have said the rape charge was lodged because of the boy's age. The legal age of consent in New York is 17.
Strong, who has volunteered for the past eight years as the girls basketball coach at Holy Name School, a Catholic elementary school in Au Sable Forks, has been released without bail since the time of her arrest. In the meantime, she has been ordered to observe a curfew and avoid contact with the alleged victim.
Strong could not be reached for comment.

Honestly have not stayed at a better hotel. I went on holiday for 2 weeks at pavlo napa with my boyfriend. After reading many great reviews and paying a fair price for the holiday I had high expectations of the hotel however my expectations were totally exceeded.
The hotel grounds are lovely, the place is spotless and the pool was one of the best I have been too. We went in July and it was not too crowded and had plenty of sunbeds. The beach is a stone throw away from the hotel and is beautiful. It was quiet and you can walk out very far in the water before it becomes deep. It costs 7.5 euros to hire 2 sunbeds and an umbrella. It is definitely worth visiting Nissi Beach which is stunning. It is a 10 minute costal walk to the right of the hotel or 8 euros for a taxi.
The hotel room was bright and spacious. There is a fridge and tv in the room. We had maid service every day even on sundays and everything was very clean.
The food!!! I cannot say enough about the food in this hotel !!! I looked forward to every single meal. Breakfast was served from 7-10am. There were cooked options: sausages, bacon, eggs etc. There was also lots of breads, cold meats, cheeses, salad, cerals, fruit, yogurt and lots more. My favourite was the waffle machine, the waffles were so good and there was syrups and nutella.
Lunch was my favourite meal of the day. It was served in the pool bar restaurant which overlooked the beach. I loved the fact that it meant you weren't eating all our meals in the same place. For lunch there was a menu with items such as toasties, omelettes, grilled chicken, burgers, pizza and I would recommend the swordfish steak. If you want you can order more than one item off the menu. As well as this there was a salad bar which changed daily and was a great accompaniment to a meal off the menu. I often asked for my meal without chips and had a big plate of salad instead. There was also a small hot buffet with potatoes, veg, pasta etc. There was fruit, cake and icecream available for dessert.
Dinner served between 7-9 was also lovely. There was often theme nights, our favourite being the mexican and itallian. The quality of the food was superb, the meat was always so tasty. Drinks were served to your table at both lunch and dinner. The restaurant staff were lovely and could not do enough for you, they were so hard working and always very friendly.
Drinks in the hotel were great. I've seen people complain about the glass size however the bar staff were more than happy to serve 2. There was a long list of cocktails which were available as part of the all inclusive menu and they were lovely. At night time the bar staff would serve at your table so there was no need to go to the bar. The staff were so nice and buy the end of the holiday we didn't even need to ask for what we wanted, they had it memorised.
The entertainment team at the hotel were the best I have ever seen. Peter and Paul were so enthusiastic and friendly. They encouraged people to participate in the hotel activities without being pushy. I loved the morning water gym, and did it every day of my holiday. There was also water polo every afternoon. The evening entertainment was also started by a mini disco for the kids and there was often a tribute act or some kind of band. All inclusive drinks ended at midnight and you could continue to pay for drink until 1am.
The area that the hotel is in is lovely. It feels very upmarket. We choose this location as we wanted to be close to nightlife but also to have the luxury of a good hotel not right in the centre of the madness. It is about a 25 minute walk into ayia napa which is quite long in the heat however it is only 8 euros in a taxi which takes 5 minutes. Ayia napa is brilliant, lots of bars and clubs to suit everybody. Its not just crazy nightlife theres plenty of family type bars and pubs and lots of posher cocktail bars too. If you fancy eating out of the hotel theres lots of lovely looking restaurants near the hotel. I would recommend the Mexican called Tequilla which is a short walk to the right of the hotel when you come out. We did find that there was not many bars near the hotel, mainly just restaurants. We either stayed in at the hotel bar, watching the entertainment or went into ayia napa as there's not many late night bars near by.
I would definitely recommend Cyprus, nissi bay and especially this hotel to anybody !! The was a great variety of guests at the hotel families, couples and groups of friends and when we stayed there were 28 different nationalities staying ! I'm already looking to book to go again next year, honestly could not have asked for more from a hotel !

An apparatus comprising a cooled slow-scan charge-coupled device camera mounted in a chamber attached to a projection or specimen chamber of an electron microscope, and a vacuum valve separating the camera chamber from the microscope chamber. The operation of the vacuum valve is linked to the microscope vacuum system such that the valve remains open while the microscope chamber is under vacuum, but closes if the microscope chamber is about to be let up to atmospheric pressure, and stays closed until the microscope chamber is evacuated again. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the camera is inserted by a pneumatically operated piston to the microscope chamber, and is withdrawn and sealed off in a separate vacuum chamber in the microscope chamber is about to be let up to air.
1. An apparatus for recording images and diffraction patterns produced by an electron microscope, said apparatus comprising:
i) a cooled charge-coupled imaging device contained in a vacuum enclosure,
ii) an isolation valve connecting said vacuum enclosure with a chamber of said electron microscope, and
iii) automatic actuating means for said isolation valve whereby whenever air is admitted into the electron microscope chamber, said automatic means close said isolation valve, thereby preventing water condensation or ice formation on said cooled charge-coupled imaging device.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said automatic actuating means comprises a pneumatic connection with a gate valve between a high vacuum pump and the electron microscope chamber whereby when said gate valve is opened or closed, said isolation valve operates automatically in unison.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising an electron scintillator and a fiber-optic plate, said scintillator converting an electron image or diffraction pattern into a light image, and said fiber-optic plate transferring said light image to said charge-coupled device.
4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the electron microscope chamber is the projection chamber of a transmission electron microscope.
5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 where the electron microscope chamber is the specimen chamber of a scanning electron microscope.
6. An apparatus for recording images or diffraction patterns produced by an electron microscope, said apparatus comprising
i) a cooled charge-coupled imaging device mounted on a movable platform,
ii) a vacuum enclosure attached to a chamber of said electron microscope,
iii) automatic transport means, and
iv) sealing means whereby whenever air is admitted to the electron microscope chamber, said automatic transport means move said movable platform into said enclosure where said sealing means isolate said vacuum enclosure from the electron microscope chamber, thereby preventing water condensation or the formation of ice on said cooled charge-coupled imaging device when air is admitted into the electron microscope chamber.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein said automatic transport means comprises a pneumatic connection with a gate valve connecting a high vacuum pump and the electron microscope chamber whereby when said gate valve is opened or closed, said automatic transport means operates automatically in unison.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 further including an adjustable end-stop whereby said movable platform may be withdrawn into said vacuum enclosure but not sufficiently far for said sealing means to seal whereby said vacuum enclosure remains connected with the electron microscope chamber.
9. The apparatus of claim 6 further including an isolation valve connecting said vacuum enclosure to the electron microscope chamber.
10. The apparatus of claim 6 further comprising an electron scintillator and a fiber-optic plate, said scintillator converting an electron image or diffraction pattern into a light image, and said fiber-optic plate transferring said light image to said charge-coupled device.
11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6 where the electron microscope chamber is the projection chamber of a transmission electron microscope.
12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6 where the electron microscope chamber is the specimen chamber of a scanning electron microscope.
1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to cameras for recording images and diffraction patterns produced by transmission electron microscopes or scanning electron microscopes, and particularly to cameras comprising cooled charge-coupled devices.
2. Description of Prior Art
Images and diffraction patterns produced by transmission electron microscopes are typically observed in real time on a fluorescent screen. When the adjustment of the electron microscope has been fully optimized, the images are recorded on photographic film inserted directly into the vacuum of the electron microscope. In modern electron microscopes, the fluorescent screen is usually replaced by a TV camera which is used for real-time observation, but the photographic film is retained as the medium of choice for recording images.
The resolution, sensitivity, and number of pixels available on photographic film are generally satisfactory, but the dynamic range of photographic film is limited to typically less than 1:500, and the response of the film to different electron intensities is typically very non-linear. Further, the photographic film is not reusable, which makes it relatively costly, and must be chemically processed, which is slow and tedious. The resultant delay of typically several hours between the time the image is recorded and the time it is available for analysis is especially inconvenient when the images are to be processed and analyzed by a computer.
A better approach to recording electron microscope images and diffraction patterns is to convert the electron image to a light image in an electron scintillator, and use a charge-coupled device (CCD) of the type originally developed for astronomy to read the light image into a computer. Such cameras offer excellent resolution, sensitivity, linearity, up to 2048 by 2048 pixels, are reusable, and make the image available for processing and analysis within a few seconds after it was recorded. However, the CCD sensor must typically be cooled to about -30� C. during operation in order to supress its intrinsic dark current to a level permitting exposures of several tens of seconds. This requires the sensor to be housed in a vacuum enclosure, in order to prevent ice build up which can potentially destroy it.
Two types of cameras using cooled, slow scan CCDs have been developed for electron microscopy. Both types house the CCD in a sealed vacuum enclosure which is isolated from the microscope vacuum. In the first type of CCD camera, the CCD enclosure has a glass window, and an image produced by the electron beam incident on a scintillator inside the electron microscope is transferred through the window onto the CCD using glass lenses. Unfortunately, the poor light collection efficiency of glass lenses prevents this type from attaining the sensitivity necessary for recording faint electron images, especially images from radiation-sensitive materials. Further, the vacuum inside the CCD enclosure typically degrades over time, and must be periodically renewed using an auxiliary vacuum station.
In the second type of CCD camera, the vacuum enclosure has a fiber-optic window. One side of the window is inside the microscope vacuum, and is coupled to a scintillator. The other side is inside the CCD vacuum, and is coupled to the CCD. This type attains a higher optical coupling efficiency and therefore a better sensitivity. However, the fiber-optic plate is in thermal contact with both the CCD and the wall of the vacuum enclosure, and this reduces the CCD cooling efficiency to the point where liquid nitrogen must be used to attain a sufficiently low operating temperature. Further, to prevent water condensation on the scintillator which is also in thermal contact with the CCD via the fiber-optic plate, the plate must be quite thick so that the scintillator can stay close to room temperature while the CCD is at a low temperature. Thick fiber-optic plates typically contain many broken fibers and other optical defects, and this significantly degrades the quality of the image recorded by the CCD. Finally, just like with the first type, the vacuum inside the enclosure degrades and must be periodically renewed.
Most users of electron microscopes would find significant advantage in an image recording device combining the good sensitivity of a fiber-optically coupled CCD with the defect-free image quality possible when thick fiber-optic plates are not used. They would also find advantage in a CCD camera whose internal vacuum did not need periodic renewal, and which attained a low enough temperature without the use of liquid nitrogen.
Accordingly, several of the objects and advantages of the present invention are: to provide a slow scan CCD camera which produces images free of defects and with good sensitivity, does not need liquid nitrogen cooling, does not require its vacuum to be renewed periodically, is simple to operate, and is compatible with existing film cameras which must be let up to atmospheric pressure when the film magazine is to be changed.
Readers will find further objects and advantages of the invention from a consideration of the ensuing description and the accompanying figures.

FIG. 1 show a schematic view of a slow-scan charge-coupled device (CCD) camera 40 mounted on projection chamber 10 of a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Typically the projection chamber is attached to the end of an optical column of a TEM, and houses a viewing screen 12 which is either lowered into an observation position or raised into a position in which it does not intercept electron beam 11 projected into the chamber. The projection chamber also typically houses a film magazine comprising a transport mechanism which inserts a sheet of photographic film 13 into an exposure position, and returns the sheet into the magazine after exposure. The typical projection chamber further has several ports suitable for attaching a camera, one of which is usually situated at the bottom of the chamber. The chamber is normally evacuated via a vacuum pipe 14 leading to a gate valve 15 which can either open or close the chamber to a high vacuum pump 18. The gate valve in most modern TEMs currently is controlled pneumatically via two inlets 16 and 17 such that introduction of pressurized air into one inlet causes the valve to open, and introduction of pressurized air into the other inlet causes the valve to close.
Because the photographic film 13 is housed inside the projection chamber, exchanging exposed film requires the projection chamber to be vented. In modern microscopes this is accomplished through an automated sequence of events which includes the closing of valve 15 to isolate the high vacuum pump 18 from the projection chamber 10, venting the chamber, exchanging the film magazine for a fresh one, pumping the chamber out with a roughing pump to about 10-3 torr, and finally opening valve 15 to the high vacuum pump, which brings the chamber to a vacuum typically in the 10-6 torr range. As long as valve 15 is open, the vacuum inside the chamber is therefore always better than 10-3 torr.
The slow scan CCD camera 40 comprises a scintillator 41 which converts the electron image into a light image, a 2-dimensional charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor 43, and a fiber-optic faceplate 42 which transfers the light image from the scintillator to the CCD. CCD sensors up to 2048 by 2048 pixels in size suitable for this application are presently available from several manufacturers, including Tektronix Inc., Thomson CSF, and English Electric Valve Ltd. The CCD must be operated cold to keep its dark current small enough so that the noise in the current accumulated during a typical exposure does not limit the performance of the camera. The typical exposure in an electron microscope is 1 to about 20 seconds. CCD temperature of about -30� C. is sufficiently low for the accumulated dark current to be acceptably small at exposure times up to about 1 minute. This temperature is easily achieved by a thermoelectric cooler 44, whose cold side is in contact with the CCD, and warm side is in contact with the body of the camera 40. The camera body can either dissipate the heat from the thermoelectric cooler into the massive body of the electron microscope, or it can be cooled by a recirculating fluid. The CCD is connected via a vacuum feed-thru 45 to external electronics unit 46 which transfers the captured images to the memory of a digital computer 47, which displays the images on the display screen 48.
The camera is attached to the projection chamber via an intermediate chamber 20 housing a vacuum valve 33 which can seal off the camera by applying O-ring 34 to a sealing surface around the camera aperture 21. The valve is operated pneumatically by piston 31 attached to valve 33 by a connecting rod 32. The piston moves inside a pneumatic cylinder 30 which is sealed off from the high vacuum inside the projection chamber by O-ring 37. The piston is moved by applying pressurized air to inlets 35 and 36. Applying pressurized air to inlet 35 causes the valve to open, and applying pressurized air to inlet 36 causes the valve to close.
Because the CCD sensor 43 and also the faceplate 42 and scintillator 41 are held at about -30� C. during operation of the camera, ice would build up on these elements if they were exposed to a water pressure higher than about 0.3 torr. The ice would then prevent the electrons from reaching the scintillator in subsequent operation, and would cause damage to the conductive coating applied to the surface of the scintillator. Even more importantly, ice or water condensation may irreparably damage the CCD sensor. The inside of the CCD camera therefore must not be exposed to either air or poor vacuum while the CCD element is cold. This is achieved by connecting the pressurized air hoses leading to inlets 35 and 36 directly to the hoses leading to the inlets 16 and 17 of the high vacuum pump 18 in such manner that valves 15 and 33 operate in parallel such that whenever the high vacuum pump is isolated from the projection chamber, the CCD camera is also isolated from the projection chamber, and whenever the high vacuum pump valve 15 is open, the CCD camera valve 33 is also open. Hence the operation of the camera is completely automatic, and the user can vent the projection chamber whenever desirable without having to take any special precautions to protect the scintillator and the CCD sensor.
A manual override which is needed for the initial pump-down of the CCD camera after installation on the projection chamber is conveniently provided by using Quick-connect connectors manufactured by Colder Products Inc. to connect the pressurized hoses to the inlets 35 and 36. These connectors shut off whenever disconnected, thereby permitting the connection scheme to be reversed while the microscope is under operation, and allowing the valve 33 to be opened while valve 15 is closed.
FIG. 2 shows an alternate embodiment of the invention, in which slow-scan CCD camera 50 is attached to a pneumatically operated piston 63, which transports the camera between a working position in which it intercepts the electron beam 11 inside the projection chamber 10, and a retracted position in which it is inside vacuum enclosure 61, and sealed off from the projection chamber by means of O-ring 51. The camera is attached to piston 63 which is moved by applying pressurized air to inlets 64 and 65. Applying pressurized air to inlet 65 causes the camera to be inserted into the working position, and applying pressurized air to inlet 64 causes the camera to be retracted.
There is also a third position of the camera in which it is withdrawn from the electron beam, but is not sealed off. This position is achieved by simultaneously applying pressurized air to inlets 64 and 73. Pressurized air applied to inlet 73 causes piston 71 to advance such that rod 72 pushes inside pneumatic chamber 62 and defines a new end-stop for piston 63. When the piston 63 is resting against this end-stop, the camera is withdrawn from the beam, but has not fully entered the vacuum enclosure 61, and therefore continues to be evacuated along with the rest of the projection chamber. The necessary distribution of pressurized air to the inlets 64, 65 and 73 is accomplished by a control unit 80, which is also connected to the pressurized hoses leading to gate valve 15. The control unit is able to sense the position of valve 15, and causes the camera to be fully inserted into vacuum enclosure 61 if the projection chamber is about to be vented. Alternately, the control unit could sense the state of the vacuum inside the projection chamber of the microscope by an electrical connection to a microscope electronics unit controlling or sensing the vacuum inside the projection chamber, or it could be connected to a vacuum gauge inside the projection chamber. The control unit also has a manual switch permitting the user to select whether the camera is inserted into the electron beam or withdrawn from it by partial insertion into chamber 61.
FIG. 3 shows a detailed schematic view of the camera fully withdrawn into enclosure 60. The camera comprises an electron scintillator 53 mounted behind an opening 52, a fiber-optic face plate 54, a CCD sensor 55, and a thermoelectric cooler 56. The heat produced by the cooler is carried by rod 57 and piston 63 to the camera housing 60 and from there into the rest of the microscope. O-ring 51 seals vacuum enclosure 61 from the projection chamber, O-ring 66 isolates vacuum chamber 61 from pneumatic chamber 62, O-ring 67 seals the pneumatic piston 63, O-ring 75 isolates pneumatic chamber 70 from pneumatic cylinder 62, and O-ring 74 seals the pneumatic piston 71. The camera is mounted at the top of the projection chamber 10, but it could also be mounted at the bottom of the chamber, just in front of a TV-rate camera or an electron spectrometer, and be withdrawn from the electron beam whenever it its necessary to operate the other instrument.
FIG. 4 shows a detailed schematic view of the camera partially withdrawn into enclosure 60. Pressurized air is applied simultaneously to inlets 64 and 73. The pneumatic piston 71 has a larger diameter than piston 63, and therefore exerts the greater force. As a result, piston 71 is at the limit of its travel, and rod 72 creates an end-stop for piston 63, which prevents O-ring 51 from sealing the camera off inside chamber 61.
FIG. 5 shows a schematic view of a CCD camera 50 fully withdrawn into a vacuum enclosure 61, but open to the vacuum inside projection chamber 10 via opening 91. The enclosure 61 can also be sealed off by applying pressurized air to inlet 97, which causes piston 92 to move such that rod 93 is inserted into O-ring 94, thereby sealing opening 91 from projection chamber 10. Applying pressurized air to opening 96 instead retracts rod 93 and opens enclosure 61 to the vacuum inside projection chamber 10. O-ring 95 provides a seal around rod 93 in both the retracted and open positions, and prevents pressurized air from reaching inside the evacuated enclosures. The required distribution of pressurized air is provided by control unit 80, which senses the state of vacuum inside the projection chamber by being connected to pressurized air hoses controlling valve 15 which separates the projection chamber from a high vacuum pump 18, or by having an electrical connection to a microscope electronics unit controlling or sensing the vacuum inside the projection chamber, or to a vacuum gauge inside the projection chamber.
The described embodiments of the slow scan CCD camera are also suitable for mounting on the specimen chamber of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In a typical modern SEM, introducing bulky specimens into the specimen chamber requires venting the chamber, and there is a pneumatic gate valve isolating the chamber from the microscope high vacuum pump using an arrangement which is precisely analogous to the way a high vacuum pump is connected to the projection chamber of a TEM. The primary use of a slow scan CCD camera comprising a scintillator inside the specimen chamber of an SEM is to image electron and X-ray diffraction patterns such as electron back-scattering patterns and X-ray Kossel patterns, both of which contain valuable information on specimen crystallography. The patterns are typically quite weak, making the high sensitivity of a slow scan CCD camera especially valuable.
While the above description contains many specificities, the reader should not construe these as limitations on the scope of the invention but merely as exemplifications of the preferred embodiment thereof. Those skilled in the art will envisage other possible variations within its scope. For example, the claimed device may also be used as an image sensor in an imaging filter which disperses the electron beam into an energy spectrum, selects a pass-band in the spectrum, and forms an image or a diffraction pattern with only electrons of the selected energy. Images produced by such a filter are typically weak in intensity, making the high sensitivity and excellent dynamic range of a slow scan CCD camera especially valuable. The filter may conveniently be attached to the bottom port in a TEM projection chamber, the slow scan CCD camera attached at the end of the electron path through the filter, and the gate valve may be mounted between the filter and the camera or between the whole filter and the microscope projection chamber.

~Step into the world of medical plants~
im not sure if this is the right place to put this but i was wondering what plants do find can be used as say medicine? Like say...
great for skin care, acne, insect bites, sooths burns (sunburn, etc), hydrates skin.
i was wondering in your past experience what plants have been medicaly helpful to yourself, plants that can de-toxify the body, help improve vision, immunity, skin, healing. maybe instead youve heard of these plants and would like to share, heres a few more to try and get the conversation going...
ive heard carrots, and green belle peppers are supposed to be good for the eyes
Helps with digestive system, skin care, immunity, slightly lowers blood sugar, for a weed i thought that was pretty interesting, usage of leaves roots and seeds.
We should all know of the green tea, it lowers chances of cancer, infection, increases immunity, full of antioxidants
is another great herb, the use of garlic helps with asthma, the cold and flu, tumors, skin care, and more
ive personally only used aloe for acne, and the other i just use without knowing, i googled the last few, never knew most of what they do, like i knew carrots helped with eyes but did you know horsetail plant, helps the with osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and brittle nails? Can anyone put up recipies they've used?, like a mix of aloe and idk, avocado to create a face cleaning mask? Just a guess but id like to hear what you use. Any medical success in home recipies straight from the garden?
Hi, I am looking for Echium plantagineum, Salvation Jane, seeds. It is considered by some to be a weed. It is found in the US, Canada, & Australia.
The research I have read was by a research doctor who said he used it on his sister who had Multiple Sclorosis MS and she went into remission. It seems to be better than flax seed & salmon oil in one seed.
Echium Oil by Ray Sahelian, M.D. Health benefit of echium oil
Echium oil is obtained by refining oil extracted from the seeds of Echium plantagineum. Members of the genus Echium from Macaronesia have a very high amount of gamma-linolenic acid. See oil for a full discussion of various oils. Echium oil use may provide healthy long chained fatty acids.
Composition of echium oil
Echium oil is a vegetable oil rich in omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Food Uses of echium oil
Croda Chemicals wants to use its refined echium oil as an ingredient in a range of food products (including milk and yoghurt based drinks, breakfast cereals and nutrition bars) and in food supplements.
Echium oil and blood lipids
It appears that echium oil could be beneficial in reducing certain blood lipids.
Dietary echium oil increases plasma and neutrophil long-chain (n-3) fatty acids and lowers serum triacylglycerols in hypertriglyceridemic humans.
J Nutr. 2004. Surette ME, Edens M, Chilton FH, Tramposch KM. Pilot Therapeutics Incorporated, Charleston, SC
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary echium oil, a plant oil containing the 18-carbon (n-3) PUFA stearidonic acid, on tissue fatty acid content and serum triacylglycerol concentrations in hypertriglyceridemic humans. Asymptomatic subjects with mild-to-moderate hypertriglyceridemia were enrolled in an open-labeled study. Subjects underwent a 4-wk lead-in period and were then instructed to follow the National Cholesterol Education Program Step 1 diet. Subjects whose serum triacylglycerol concentrations remained between 300 and 450 mg/dL were instructed to consume 15 g of echium oil daily for 4 wk. During the treatment period, serum triacylglycerol concentrations decreased by 21% compared with baseline. There were no significant changes in any other clinical laboratory variables. Concentrations of long-chain (n-3) PUFA, including EPA, increased in plasma and neutrophils when subjects consumed echium oil. In conclusion, dietary plant oils rich in stearidonic acid are metabolized to longer-chain, more unsaturated (n-3) PUFA. These oils appear to possess hypotriglyceridemic properties typically associated with fish oils.
Echium oil reduces plasma lipids and hepatic lipogenic gene expression in apoB100-only LDL receptor knockout mice.
J Nutr Biochem. 2007. Section on Lipid Sciences, Department of Pathology, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC 27157, USA.
We tested the hypothesis that dietary supplementation with echium oil, which is enriched in stearidonic acid (SDA; 18:4 n-3), will decrease plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations and result in conversion of SDA to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in the liver. Mildly hypertriglyceridemic mice were fed a basal diet containing 10% calories as palm oil (PO) and 0.2% cholesterol for 4 weeks, after which they were randomly assigned to experimental diets consisting of the basal diet plus supplementation of 10% of calories as PO, echium oil or fish oil (FO) for 8 weeks. The echium oil and FO experimental diets decreased plasma TG and VLDL lipid concentration, and hepatic TG content compared to PO. Echium oil fed mice had plasma and liver lipid EPA enrichment that was greater than PO-fed mice but less than FO-fed mice. In conclusion, echium oil may provide a botanical alternative to fish oil for reduction of plasma TG concentrations.
Echium Oil Research
Occurrence and characterization of oils rich in gamma-linolenic acid Part I: Echium seeds from Macaronesia.
Phytochemistry. 2000 Feb;53(4):451-6. Departamento de Ingenieria Quimica, Universidad de Almeria, Spain
Nineteen species of the genus Echium (Fam. Boraginaceae) collected in Macaronesia were surveyed in a search for new sources of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3omega6). High amounts of this acid were found in all of them, ranging from 9% (Echium plantagineum) to 26% (Echium callithyrsum) of total seed fatty acids. The amounts of GLA related to total seed weight were also significant, ranging from 1.7% (Echium sventenii) to 5% (Echium nervosum). In addition, considerable amounts of stearidonic acid (SA, 18:4omega3) were detected, ranging from 3% (Echium auberianum) to 13% (Echium plantagineum) of total fatty acids.
Echium oil emails
Q. I have just been reading your web page on echium oil and was interested in your comments about "pyrrolizidine alkaloids and their N-oxides." being present in the refined oil. Now, like most members of the Boraginaceae (including borage), echium contains these alkaloids in the plant parts but I wasn't aware that they were present in the oil, and I would anticipate that, even if they were, they would be removed by even a simple refining process. In their Novel Foods application in 2000, Kings wrote: "Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are not lipophillic and, therefore, would not
be expected to be present in any substantial quantity in the oil. Tests carried out on several samples of both Super Refined and unrefined Echium oil shows that levels of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids were either extremely low ( A. Thanks, we removed the reference to pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the section on composition of echium oil. Is it okay to use your name as the person who let us know about this?
Q. I'm happy for you to use my name Dr. Peter Lapinskas, www.lapinskas.com

Strange diagnostic problem, Craftsman garage door opener
Model 139.53985D, 1/2 HP chain drive
Started having a problem opening/closing the door, it would move 6" at a time then shut off (thermal protection I gather, however if I tap the unit the power will come back on.
The diagnostic light flashes 3 times signifying it's a wall control or wire to the wall control problem. Per the manual I determined the wire to the control was the problem (the motor would start up when I shorted a wire across the 2 terminals). I connected a new wire and had same results.
After reading as much as I could find it sounded like the RPM sensor because the door would move 6" and stop. I changed the RPM sensor and the interruptor cup, same results.
I've had the door disconnected to remove that from the equation, and I unhooked the wall control. The safety reversing sensor lights (amber and green) are glowing steady, no flickering, etc.
I don't know if this is a logic board issue or what, the diagnostic light flashing 3 times points to the wall control as the cause. So I'm considering buying a new unit. This unit is about 4 - 6 yrs old.
Thanks for any help!
