Living in the CSA: Beet and orange soup recipe
After reading my post last week wondering what to do with beets, Liz from Consuming Interests suggested this recipe, from Dishing Up Maryland (which is an absolutely gorgeous cookbook, by the way), as adapted by the Washington Post. The cookbook author got the original recipe from One Straw Farm in Baltimore.
I definitely hadn't cooked with beets before, and honestly, I'm not sure I had even had beets before. (No, I'm not exactly sure how that happened.)
As Liz said, this soup would convert even beet haters. It's smooth and earthy and, as the title mentions, sweet and savory. Great combination.
Sweet and Savory Beet Soup With Orange Juice and Yogurt
Makes: 6 servings
3 large (3 1/2 to 4 pounds) beets, trimmed and scrubbed
2 cups orange juice, preferably fresh
5 cups low-sodium or homemade chicken or vegetable broth
1 large onion, coarsely chopped (1 1/2 to 2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or as needed
2/3 cup plain whole or low-fat yogurt, plus more for garnish (may use Greek-style yogurt for a thicker soup)
Carrot strands, for garnish (optional)
Combine the beets, orange juice, broth, onion, salt and pepper in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to medium or medium-low. Cook for about 1 hour, or until the beets are soft. Remove from the heat.
Remove the beets; peel them under cold water (changing it once or twice as needed so you can handle the warm vegetables), then cut them into quarters.
Place half the quartered beets in the blender, along with half of the contents of the saucepan. Remove the center knob of the lid and place a dish towel over the opening so that steam can escape. Puree until smooth and transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining beets and contents of the saucepan.
Add yogurt to the beet puree and stir to incorporate thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, chilled or at room temperature; garnish with a dollop of yogurt or carrot strands, if desired.
Notes: I used honey tangerines instead of oranges, because that's what I had. Also, instead of transferring quartered beets to the blender, I cut the pieces up smaller and used a stick blender.

VIX Snaps To Six-Month Highs On Longest Stocks Slump Since May
For the first time since May, the S&P 500 has fallen for 5 days in a row. VIX has very much heralded the fact that investors were not as bullish as media-types would like to believe - as we have vociferously noted - and today's jump in the VIX pushes it to six-month highs over 22.5%. The S&P 500 futures ended the day-session at the week's lows testing down just shy of last week's flash-crash lows. Meanwhile, while equities slumped catching down to Treasury yields, commodities were relatively flat as was the USD; it seems that the excess longs in equities relative to the rest are unwinding - a different picture than what was seen during last Summer's debt ceiling debate.
S&P 500 futures slumped further after the day-session close to test the flash-crash lows from last week...
VIX has been sending the message (and we have been relaying iot - especially yestewrday's repeat of the dump-and-pump from pre-crash last week!)... VIX (red) vs ES (green)
VIX has seen the biggest 7-day rise in 16 months - reacting in the same way as we did into the debt ceiling debate last year...
And VIX's term-structure is following the same path as last summer!!
Which leaves the S&P at the lows pre-Draghi II...
The difference is that this time - equity investors are the most net long since 2007 highs!
Equities were notably weaker than other asset classes into the close (upper right) - though ETFs saw VXX slamming higher (sending risk lower) as we closed...
Meanwhile, the Dow Transports remain +2% on the month while the rest of the majors (RTY excluded my apologies) are red...
Gold and Silver close the week unch with Oil higher...
Charts: Bloomberg and Capital Context
Bonus Chart: AAPL lowest close since February 17th!
Bonus Chart: Oldie but goodie... Treasury vs S&P 500...

it feels like today was the first day in a year market didnt ramp the last hour.
Just giving cover for the politicians the markets are. They will come up with something "grand" that will solve everything for a bit anyway /s. But for now, it is the market that must rage, for it's full speed ahead god dammit in a direction that is the culmination of our fallacy and corruption. Will something terminal to this economic paradigm finally give way? Lord knows, so stay tuned...
Nothing will happen to the paradigm.
The Ivy League Mafia has too much invested in it.
The Ponzi Scheme will live on for years.
Just ask the Japansese.
Project Mayhem Monday ... erm I mean.. Nothing to see here yall already screwed anyway
All brought to you buy the ny fed in conjunction with the boj as an incentive for the old sluts and pedophiles in dc to agree to extending tax cuts for 6 months and to a 3% across the board spending cut for 2013 hoping that this is enough for S&P and Fitch to not act till mid calendar year.
Yeah, post close market clearly defines how broken this thing really is. WOW!
O has tightened the screws on Boehner and McConnell.
I think the prez planned this to scare the Republicans into voting for his proposal: Schedule the meeting for 3PM and then make a negative announcement 20 minutes before the markets close for the week. Markets drops. Republicans worry all weekend about what the markets do Monday if no agreement is made. Republicans give in and agree to support O's proposal Sunday evening.
you give President Obama too much credit.
Maybe, but if he didn't plan it, then it makes them look pretty stupid the way it came down. If it wasn't his plan to scare everyone, then they should have scheduled the meeting for the AM, so that, if the meeting was unproductive, they would have had time to pump the market back up with stories of potential agreement before the close.
Another blown conspiracy by ZH, the market didn't recover at 3:30 pm.
they've been meeting for almost and hour and a half -
no, Obama in classic grade 3 negotiating style arrived an hour and 15 minutes late
Bulletin meeting has just ended
And they wonder why the people have lost confidence in the 'market'
so sick that the future course of the nation will likely be dictated by the whims of financial markets.
it's akin to your doctor making healthcare decisions based on how he does at a vegas blackjack table.
The Tylers do a fine job with the charts. I barely have the energy to read this stuff, but occasionally, it's worse than the charts show.
When I trade, I trade exclusively option spreads. Adjusted for ZIRP (interest is often half an option's value), equity options are almost as expensive now as when they first started trading on exchanges in the 70s, and no one knew how to price them. Buyer beware.
You got that right. Today's (12/28/2012) spreads on VXX far out-paced the up-ticking matched to SPY's fall. Just absurdly bad to trade it today in what otherwise could have been promising. By all means, be ready for a multi-week play with +20% +50% & perhaps +100% in prices on VXX but the next VXX option I'd look at would be a Put once VXX goes to a peak. Until then I'd think the VXX shares are safer seeing the spreads & no expiration.
2012 09 13 spy crash soon - goldpricemodel
I'm not the only one to conclude something like this...
2012 09 13 crash soon : ZEROHEDGE chart with @SqueezedEquity
so we'll see :D
The Vegas nation. A country based on high wager financial bets and money skimming.
Time for the ultimare bet, financial Russian roulette!
Wonder how Robotarder is navigating this drop? hiding out in some best of breed retailers like JCP and Bed Bath &Beyond, most likely... hedged with some XRT and XLY?
SP500 Weekly shows bearish trend should pick up momentum in January.
It's going to get messy out there.
Wile E. Coyote ...

No more backup
We have ceased supporting our Secure-ISS Explorer product!
Support for the service ended at the end of February 2012. Here you will find a few answers to some of the more common questions we have received.
Why did we decide to cease supporting Secure-ISS Explorer?
This isn't a decision we have come to lightly! Our business has been growing in a number of areas outside of our backup operations for sometime and as a result we are now completely moving out of the backup business to peg our future on evolving technologies in the Cloud and hosting spaces.
What can we continue to offer you?
As you may be aware our product offering has expanded in recent years to include Hosted/ Offsite email collaboration solutions, Software application hosting and Virtual Private Servers. We have had a number of our backup clients move into these products over the last 18 months and they have been very pleased with the solutions, outcomes and overall service. Please check out the remainder of our website to see how we can continue to assist businesses including yours!
What should Secure-ISS Explorer customers be doing?
You will need to source a new offsite and/ or onsite backup solution offering. What you decide upon will need to suit your business and there are many alternatives available on the web. In the ideal world you would have both an onsite backup system along with an offsite copy of your data. The onsite copy of data supports a speedier recovery time, whereas the offsite copy provides piece of mind in the event complete disaster were to strike your business.
You will also need to uninstall our software. This can be done by following these simple steps. To uninstall our software, please go to the Start Menu, Programs, Secure Internet Storage Solutions and select the Uninstall option. Windows will do the rest for you.
Do you have anyone that you can now recommend for Offsite Backup?
We have completed due diligence on another supplier and are pretty comfortable that they will continue to look after our customer base with a good backup solution and ongoing support. Your data will remain in Australia and you will continue to be supported out of Australia.
We have negotiated with this supplier, to keep the existing plan structures for our customers and have negotiated down the setup fee to $25 (Ex GST). (They normally have a setup fee of $110).
From a transition stand-point they will contact you to discuss the transition to their software and complete the installation and setup remotely with you. This should ensure that the transition is as seamless as possible for you and your team.
If you would like us to pass through your details to them and their details through to you, please let us know ASAP. We are assisting with the transition, which is why we will initially handle the introductions.

Last spring there was a pair of robins, a pair of wrens and a pair of blackbirds, all of which had successful nests in one Climbing Hydrangea on the wall of my office - from that I take it that different breeds will tolerate other nests nearby - our blue tits raised two broods in a nest box fixed at about 6 ft height facing nor' nor' west on the trunk of a mature ash tree. The things to think about are a sheltered perching point about 12 - 20 ft away and a clear flight path from there to the nestbox.
Info about how to fix here http://www.rspb.org.uk/advice/helpingbirds/nestboxes/smallbirds/siting.aspx
Dove, I think I'm hooked; have downloaded plans for bird boxes. Bird B&B will hopefully be up and running soon
Any problems about making them from exterior plywood???
Absolutely no problems with using exterior plywood, Bob.
The instructions said not to use any paint ect on the boxes. Ive just been looking at some cool designs of bird boxes painted on the internet. I like the idea of getting a bit colourful and creative but dont obviously dont want the birds to get hurt. Is there a animal friendly paint ???
a few years ago. I saw a robin building a nest on a pile of bags in my garage, then I found 4 chicks in the nest.
yesterday I realised that a robin has built a nest again in garage, the lightweight door opens upwards, and slides onto the ceiling. the nest is in the gap between door and ceiling.
I haven't explained that well, anyway, I leave the windows open, so that is how the robin gains entry. so fingers crossed for another brood
i made a blue tit box last year and loved having the blue tits in there, i did paint it with a water based garden paint but only on the outside and not in the entrance hole as they peck it to their liking when they move in. this summer i have made a robins nest box and another sparrow box so i'm hoping they will be occupied in due course.
don't forget when making your boxes to 'scratch lines into the wood inside of the entrance hole wall to enable the chicks to get out easily, i just gouge the wood if using smooth wood but if using rough unplaned wood they should be ok

In the February 2009 Vocabula
by Eric Torgersen
On New Year's Day, 2001, arguably the actual first day of the new millennium, Andersen Consulting, since 1989 one of the two separate units of Andersen Worldwide (itself the successor of Arthur Andersen, Inc.) became independent under the name Accenture. The firm had hired consultants to come up with a new name, but they chose one thought up by an employee in the Oslo office. It was said to mean Accent on the Future, but I suspect some genetic relationship to "licensure," or even "adventure." In any case, it sounds like a word, doesn't it? Only after I checked the OED did I feel confident in asserting that it's not, quite. Some claimed that its invention was an attempt to shake Andersen's connection with the Enron scandal, but the company says it was already in the works revealing only admirable foresight before that scandal broke.

Who was the only American president born in Illinois?
Some would say Abraham Lincoln, but the answer is Ronald Reagan, who was born in Tampico, Illinois, and who went to high school in nearby Dixon.
Abraham Lincoln began life in Hodgensville, Kentucky, the first president to enter the earthly stage outside the original thirteen colonies. The day was February 12, 1809, so let us celebrate the bicentennial of the man many consider to be our greatest president. And let us honor him by celebrating his humor. More ...
Book ExcerptThe Artful Nuance
by Rod L. Evans, Ph.D.
NAKED/NUDE (adj.)
A naked person is totally bare, wearing nothing; a nude person has become nude by removing clothes: "A newborn baby is naked at its birth, but a woman who disrobes and is a model for an artist is nude."
Aggression can be naked but never nude. In many other contexts, though, the terms are interchangeable. More ...
Culture and SocietyC'est Le Vol
by John Kilgore
It may or may not be true that language determines thought in subtle ways that Chinese favors mathematical thinking, for instance, or German top-down organizational schemes, or Inuit a connoisseur's appreciation of snow but anyone who dabbles in a second language soon comes to feel that it does. Take the ordinary American and British expression to make money a case much in point, in these dog days of the imploding economy, and long (I confess) a pet peeve of mine. Stay within English all of your life, and the phrase seems perfectly literal and transparent. Making money is simply what you do when you serve fries, or work on the line as a unionized laborer, or go to the office each day to run a large corporation or a drug cartel. What else would you call it? More ...
Vocabula RevisitedFor the Benefit & Helpe of Ladies and Gentlewomen: A Historical Review of Dictionaries and Their Eccentricities
by Ver�nica Albin
"When I use a word," said Humpty Dumpty, "it means just what I choose it to mean neither more nor less."
Although the major European countries have been prolific in bringing dictionaries to press since the early seventeenth century, dictionary production in the twentieth century has grown exponentially in all the major European languages. It is worth mentioning that although in the last two decades there have been revolutionary electronic innovations in format, searchability, presentation, and design, in many fundamental respects monolingual general dictionaries produced today, whether in the United States or in Europe, are very similar to those of earlier centuries.

Harrison's CornerThe Truffles of Absurdity
by Carey Harrison
I promised, dear faithful reader (or dear new reader, or errant but returning reader we cherish the lost lamb) to report on the classroom antics of my undergraduate and graduate college English classes at the City University of New York, that hive of intellectual ferment. That said, a fermented hive suggests mead, a delicious drink. I'm not sure that�s what we produce, in my classroom. I teach an undergraduate class on Virginia Woolf this semester, which is going very nicely albeit slowly, as intended. We manage about five pages of To The Lighthouse per class, parsing this poetic text line by line in a fashion that drives some students understandably crazy with tedium (yesterday two fell asleep in the couch in my office, which holds thirty-five for reasons I shall explain in due course, and therefore serves as a classroom), but fills others with inexpressible delight. Or so I like to think. More ...
The Common ReaderChristina Rossetti: Poet, Muse, Lover
by Kevin Mims
For more than three decades I have been involved in a love affair with an older woman 128 years older, to be precise. The object of my affection is Christina Rossetti. I think she would have approved of this bit of necrophilia on my part. Much of her work is haunted by dead lovers. As Jan Marsh, one of her biographers, puts it: "Throughout Christina's verse, ghostly lovers return in the dark, frighteningly intent on reclaiming their loved ones." Christina herself is the ghostly lover who over and over again returns to me in the dark. More ...
Letter of the LawWhen Corporations Fall in Love
by Adam Freedman
As far as the law is concerned, every corporation is a "person." And why not? Just like the two-legged variety, a corporate person can own property, earn income, and pay taxes. But with Valentine's Day upon us, the question is can a corporation fall in love?
Judging from the language used by their executives and lawyers, the answer is yes. More ...
Vocabula button free for the asking.
I trust I'm not the only one who ever wondered how the order of names of businesses, partnerships, and the like is decided? Is the first name the dominant business partner? Is it done alphabetically? Or did they just flip a coin? Nevertheless, once the order has been decided upon and the combination becomes successful and popular, it becomes irreversibly fixed in our everyday lexicon. The sound of it not only rolls off the tongue fluently, but it feels and sounds awkward to voice it any other way. This is particularly true of entertainers. Case in point: Abbott and Costello. No one ever referred to them as Costello and Abbott. That sounds like a law partnership. Abbott and Costello, on the other hand, sounds like a six-syllable synonym for a comedy team. The same goes for Penn and Teller. Other twosomes that have become unidirectionally recognized are Laurel and Hardy, Rowan and Martin, Laverne and Shirley, Sigfried and Roy, Simon and Garfunkle, Martin and Lewis, Beevis and Butt-Heat. Change the order, and you come up with a strange sounding tandem like Chong and Cheech. More ...
Although few people can complain of another's grammatical mistakes with impunity, that is, without revealing their own, we are hopeful that "Disagreeable English" will encourage us all to pay more heed to how the language is used � by ourselves as well as by others � while bettering our ability to speak and write it. More ...
Words often ill serve their purpose. When they do their work badly, words militate against us. Poor grammar, sloppy syntax, misused words, misspelled words, and other infelicities of style impede communication and advance only misunderstanding. But there is another, perhaps less well-known, obstacle to effective communication: too many words. More ...
Inadequate though they may be, words distinguish us from all other living things. Indeed, our worth is partly in our words. Effective use of language � clear writing and speaking � is a measure of our humanness. What's more, the more words we know and can correctly use, the broader will be our understanding of self, the keener our acquaintance with humankind. More ...
The eleventh edition of "America's Best-Selling Dictionary," Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (Frederick C. Mish, editor in chief), does as much as, if not more than, the famously derided Webster's Third International Dictionary to discourage people from taking lexicographers seriously. "Laxicographers" all, the Merriam-Webster staff reminds us that dictionaries merely record how people use the language, not how people ought to use the language. Some dictionaries, and certainly this edition of Merriam-Webster, actually promote illiteracy. More ...

The risk of social? It all depends
Colleen Burns 120000C4RP firstname.lastname@example.com | | Tags:  security social_business sarah_carter social actiance

The risk of social depends on who you are and what you're doing
I certainly know that the stakeholders involved in many of the organizations that I work with include the following departments and roles, in no particular order:
Let me start this series with the roles of IT and Security, which while distinctly different, I'm going to group together in the interest of time. These departments are concerned with two primary categories of risk – inbound and outbound threats to the organization. We'll start with the inbound risk.
We are all exceedingly well trained in the area of email risk. You are in the minority if you're the individual that first of all sees the vast majority of email spam, and in an even smaller minority if you actually 1) reply to the emails from the individual purporting to have billions of dollars salted away in <insert exotic sounding foreign country> with a requirement to move some percentage of that to you in return for your assistance; 2) click on the link in the email that promises you riches/beauty/possessions beyond your wildest dreams. We, as users, are well trained; because folks, the email security industry has been training and protecting us for more than 10 years now. That's right, it was 1999 when the Melissa virus hit and the I love you virus followed quickly on her heels. Since then an industry was created, grew up and matured and protected us from ourselves.
It's no wonder then that the malware and virus writers turned their attention to another medium. And that medium is social. Their attention has been turned because of the trusted nature of social. We're connected – we're friends on Facebook, connected on LinkedIn, I track your updates through my social business platform. So, therefore, I naturally trust the content that you share, because I trust you the individual. This inherent trust that is at the heart of social, is the basis for the risk related to inbound threats – malware writers take advantage of this inherent trust and send payloads through social media – often using that tried and trusted method of email to fool the user into clicking the link, going to the "site", you've seen them all – "Facebook reminder - John Smith wants to be friends with you, click here to accept".
If you're a Twitter user, then you'll no doubt have seen direct messages, purporting to be from your followers, advocating through often clever commentary to click on a link, which ends with all of YOUR followers being spammed with the same content (thanks to my colleague @DaveOates, for agreeing to be outed as someone who fell for this recently).
"Human beings were put on this earth to create chaos. In a social environment we do that very effectively and very quickly."
A third area of concern for the IT and Security professional is somewhat linked to outbound threats and risk, however I've separated it out, as this content, this information is put there by us as users, usually as part of our set up when we create our social personas. That's right, it's our profile information and I'm now moving onto Personally Identifiable Information. Let me set the scene.
Privacy settings are the last thing that we never look at on our social profiles. And of course I complete all the demographic and biographical information that <insert name of social site> requests me to – my full name, date of birthday, where I live, oh and then what relationship I have with my significant other and my children. Privacy settings are also the last area that I ever change, in part because in general it's pretty difficult to find out where to change things, and who the heck ever has the time to do that? Besides, isn't social all about sharing? Sure. It's all about sharing, but be cautious in that sharing, because unless you are cautious about that sharing, then you might be sharing it with all one billion other Facebook users, or depending upon how Google is indexing sites most recently, then anyone who's connected to the Internet.
Take a look at your Facebook friends for instance, and see just how many of them are sharing their full date of birth, the family members, their home details, or children's photos. Now hope that they've set their privacy settings so that you are only seeing those because you're a friend. Many folks don't realize that their settings are open to the world, and I do not have to be connected to you in order to see this information.
This personally identifiable information, that is open in a lot of cases to the world, is a key risk for many security departments and professionals, simply because of the information it provides to the wider world.
Yikes. So before that has you scurrying to delete all your social profiles and get the heck off this berg, here's some advice based on these risks as to what you can do.
Sarah Carter joined the workforce as a taxi driver at 17 (a story in itself). After university and a spell with IBM, a year in Canada, she moved to the UK IT security & data archiving market joining a UK security and storage integrator. Sarah was integral in taking the company through an IPO on the alternative investment market, promoted to the board she worked in the team that acquired others and then sold the business. After 4 years with Actiance in the Europe and Asia team, Sarah relocated to HQ in California. Sarah is now General Manager of Actiance's Social Business – she and her team work with the regulators – from FINRA in the USA, to the FSA in the UK. She also works with Actiance clients on best practice social media and collaboration strategies and regularly speaks on the topic on both continents.

Consumers who bought homes with cash had another record showing in San Diego County in May, the latest DataQuick numbers say.
The share of cash deals rose to 33.3 percent, topping the previous peak of 33 percent set in April. They made up 26.5 percent of all sales a year ago. May's percentage of cash buyers surpassed that of the Southern California region, which was 31.3 percent.
Those who buy homes with cash are mainly investors, said DataQuick analyst Andrew LePage, but there are other groups, too.
"It's people who retire or are near retirement who want to sell big houses and buy smaller houses," LePage said. "Or parents buying houses near universities, paying with cash... and then you've got wealthy people buying luxury properties in cash."
Throughout Southern California, cash buyers paid a median of $232,500 in May, up from $225,000 in April and $220,000 in May 2011. The median price for all types of homes combined in San Diego County in May was $335,000.
Here's a breakdown of other important numbers to track:
Foreclosure resales
These are homes that were foreclosed upon in the last year and were resold. DataQuick says 21.3 percent of total resales fit into this category in May, the lowest it's been since October 2007, when it was 20.8 percent. A year ago, the share of resales that were foreclosures was 30.9 percent.
Short sales
An estimated 19.8 percent of resales in May were short sales, down from 20.7 percent in April but up from 18.4 percent a year ago.
When comparing May 2012 with May 2011, sales of San Diego homes:
• Below $200,000 were up 5.6 percent.
• Below $300,000 were up 10.3 percent.
• Below $400,000 were up 16.4 percent.
• Between $300,000 and $800,000 were up 28.8 percent.
LePage, of DataQuick, says those numbers signal "strong evidence of move-up buyers," likely folks with home equity who have been on the sidelines for some time and are now taking the homebuying plunge.

The third editon of the famous American Civil War mod.
Perhaps lances, rather?
Ohhhhhhhhh. Still, kinda ridiculous. But badass none the less
omg im finally seeing some decent bayonets models ? the ones in the vanilla suck so much.
Ok, so the lances and bayonets were noticed
I wonder if anyone at all noticed the guns. :D
OMG Sharps Carbines!!!!!!!!
Henry Rifle!!
Here comes maybe a very dumb question, but are these models suppose to be in the 3.5 or are they going to be in 3.6? The reason I ask is because if they ARE suppose to be in 3.5 then maybe I made something wrong in the install. Hope you answer so I don't have to worry and keep on the amazingly good work :D
Is that a Kentucky Long Rifle I see? 5th from the Left :D
All these weapons have been added recently into the dev version of ACW mod.

About this cartoon, Englehart says...
Every day, even after 25 years, I continue to learn something new about my craft.
Textbook publishers regularly reprint my cartoons in their books. I just learned in one of those textbooks that I practice Horatian satire. As proof, one of my cartoons is used as an example.
It turns out there are two different kinds of satire. Who knew? Not me. I would've known had I gone to college, but I'm an art school dropout. I might not know the different forms of satire but I'll bet not many English Lit majors know how to make tracing paper from scratch.
And, get this: Not only is there Horatian satire, but there is Juvenalian satire too. I said Juvenalian, not "Juvenile," although I suppose at some level, all satire is juvenile.
Horatian satire is the light, funny stuff.
Amused, witty, the satirist holds his target up to gentle ridicule. With Juvenalian satire, the satirist uses contempt, pointed barbs, and indignation, harshly criticizing his target.
Over the course of a year, I'm sure I use both forms, but most often, I use the Horatian form, named after Horace, the Roman stand-up comedian and witty wag who wowed crowds at The Forum three shows nightly.
How about that? Horatian and Juvenalian satire. Somehow I turned out to be literary. I thought I was just being another smart-ass.

- Abstract
- We have investigated the morphology modification of silver microstructures fabricated by the multiphoton photoreduction process. The microstructures have been fabricated by a femtosecond laser under different irradiation time and repeated scanning numbers. Trans-4-[4-(dimethylamino)-N-methylstilbazolium] p-tosylate (DAST) was used as photosensitizer and effectively reduced the laser power to 0.66 mW. The increase of the irradiation time and repeated scanning induced more reduction in the multiphoton photoreduction microfabrication process, resulting in the optimization of the linewidth. The fusion of silver nanoparticles was confirmed, which led to the morphology change of silver microstructures for achieving the compact metallic microstructures. The result would provide an important protocol to fabricate the metallic microstructures for the electronic and photonic applications.

River Ystwyth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Ystwyth is a river in west Wales. It starts in the hills between Rhayader and Ysbyty Ystwyth and flow into the sea at Aberystwyth. Although the river looks very clean, it has high levels of some metals such as lead, zinc and silver. These metals poison a lot of the wildlife so that only a few things live in some of the river. These metals get into the river from old lead mines. Nobody uses the mines any more but the waste material left behind still has lots of metal in it and this dissolves in rain and gets into the river.
