Santiago's Bodega
Online Reservations
A very cool spot featuring small plates so you can sample a few different items. Very creative daily blackboard menu to go with the more permanent hand out menu. Friendly, professional service. Taste buds will be dancing!
Fun, Fun, Fun.....Food was EXCELLENT...Service was even better! Our waiter, Alan, could not have been more personable and helpful. We had a group of 6 dining, and Alan was spot-on with his suggested number of plates to order. His recommendations were all delicious, and his attentiveness to us was exceptional. You can't have a great dining experience without great food, and Santiago's Bordega had just that. You can't have an exceptional dining experience without an exceptional waiter, and Alan was just that. Easily walkable from Key West's busy Mallory Square, this hidden neighborhood "gem" was worth the visit.
Great place to experience numerous different tastes by ordering 2 or 3 tapas each. Salad was huge and excellent and only order one for two people. Thought it was a great place and definitely will go back.
always a great meal. tapas are a way to sample many dishes. outstanding wines. "southwest airlines" kind of service -- good and fun.
Great laid back atmosphere with creative contemporary small plates. Reasonably priced wine list with nice selection of half bottles....easy to have both red and white with your food choices. Huge salad, enough for 4 people. Smoked salmon was excellent but the crispy, spicy grouper and the lamb patties stole our hearts. Bread pudding was just okay......we had just come from NOLA. We will be returning!!
We went to Santiago's on Friday night if goombay festival as a party of twelve. The food was incredible from start to finish, and the service was amazing. Salads are very very good size, and going with twelve ladies we tried them all. Hands down favorite was the short ribs with amazing fall off the bone glaze. Sangria delish, only downfall, which we had no problem with was it was not a full bar, just beer and wine. Met the chef an he have us some of his recipes. Wondeeful
My husband and I had visited Santiago's a year ago on the recommendation of a friend and just thought it was wonderful! So this trip to Key West there were six of us and we suggested we all go there. It was amazing!! Everything from the sangria to the tapas to the service was top notch. Our server, Ivan was so attentive, but not overbearing. He was very friendly and quite knowledgeable, very efficient and fun. We recommend the dates, the carpaccio, the tenderloin, the asparagus, saganaki, grouper. But my favorite was the ceviche! Best I've ever had. There was not one thing that was ordered that we ALL didn't just love! AND THE SANGRIA!!! Wow! We will always go back to Santiagos!! Thank you!!
We visited Santiago Bodega twice while we were in Key West recently for Fanstasy Fest Week. It was over the top! There is a long list of cold and hot tapas offered in addition to $5.00 chef specials each afternoon from 3-6 for Happy Hour. Beer/Sangria is only $3.00. Be careful ordering, the portions are huge for tapas- two will be enough for one person. Fun for everyone to order different stuff and share. The wonderful fresh salads are enough for four people. Ask for Penny to be your server- she makes wonderful recommendations and knows the menu well. We tried Rack of Lamb, Diver scallops, Crab Cakes, Empanadas, Roman Meatballs and Beef Carpaccio. All of them were delicious. There is live music there as well. Reservations a must.
we went here based on a recommendation and i can only say this is a great place. From the friendly welcome over the very attentive staff we felt very welcome. the food was just the best spanish food i ever had outside of spain and the restaurant has also a great and good selection of wines. Overall, i can only recommend to check out this place and have a lovely dinner or just go their and have some tapas and a glas of wine
A group from work went for dinner on a Sunday night. It was very busy and lively. The food was excellent with a good variety. I would recommend it as a good place to go with groups.
The small plates are so excellent. Best to have multiple people so there is more sharing! Sangria here is my fave. Recommend a reservation during peak months although it is still worth the wait.
We spent a delightful evening at Santiago's Bodega. Not only was the food over the top delicious, the service was outstanding. Our table had an accidental wine spill. The waitress was there immediately, reset the table and replaced the wine while all the time doing her best to make us feel valued as guests. The tenderloin topped with blue cheese almost melted in our mouths. The Tomato Muffuletta was better than I've had anywhere. The restaurant is away from the chaos of Duval Street -- just a great find!
Tapas were the best, varied, brought promptly, I enjoyed them all. keith, our bartender, was friendly but not intrusive and made suggestions which were very good.
The food was all fantastic, the dates, green beans and short ribs were exceptional. The sparkling sangria was yummy too. So many options, I could have eaten here every night and will definitely be back!
Our food was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was perfect the service was perfect. We will definitely be here again.
Everything about this place is #1!!! Food is amazing, staff is amazing! A few of our group had left their reading glasses at the hotel and the staff even brought them a few pair. They called them cheaters, lol!!! They went above and beyond all expectations.
My wife and I don't generally go for tapas restaurants because the portions are so small that we always walk away hungry. We tried Santiago's Bodega (we believe in giving things another try) and not only was the food very good, the portions were large enough that we didn't have room for desert. If you average 2-3 tapas per person, you should be satisfied. The service was also outstanding for us with things timed very well.
We loved it so much, we went twice during our stay in Key West!! The flavors, the presentation, the atmosphere. Everything was awesome!
Nice, friendly and serviceminded with exciting dishes.
A great Tapas Restaurant. We were four women who shared a wonderful pear and avocado salad and four separate tapa plates. The salad was more than enough for the 4 of us as were the 4 small plate tapas. There is also a full dinner menu. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone.
This restaurant is an absolute MUST VISIT when in Key West. The food is amazing, boasting inventive flavors, preparations and techniques. These tapas easily surpass the quality of those we've enjoyed at very notable restaurants in major cities. Tucked away on an unassuming side street, the atmosphere is warm, cozy and unpretentious. The waitstaff is surpurb--never have we eaten in a restaurant with such a spirited team who were so singularly focused on taking care of customers. If you are lucky enough to have Alan as your waiter, heed all of his recommendations. He will never steer you wrong! We visited twice in less than a week on our vacation..and can't wait to return.
Best dinner during our stay in Key West. Great atmosphere too. I would highly recommend. We enjoyed the variety of food.
It was so good, we went twice during the week we were in the Keys. We told multiple people about how fantastic the food was too!
Somehow we got our reservation messed up but they sat us right away. Great food, service and atmosphere. It is far enough from the cruise boat dock to stay out of the fray. However, it is still very accessible from all parts of Key West.
Have been there on several poccasions; try to go at least once on each trip to Key West. Wonderful food
Great experience with a group of six. Wonderful all the way around. This is a sure thing!
The tapas at this restaurant did not disappoint! We had a super yummy meal. We would return in a heartbeat.
In key west we have been eating at the notable restaurants and decided to go to try something different and went to Santiago's. The spinach salad which was not a small plate was even too big for the two of us to share but boy was it food. The beef tenderloin and the short ribs were outstanding. Santiago's out shines the islands big names.
everything was good, filet with blue cheese was fantastic, cheese plate was really great and shrimp and chorizo got race reviews. Spinach Salad was good but slightly overdressed, meatballs not so good - service was good and informative. Overall really good experience. Will make it a repeat visit in future!
This place is always good. You can count on excellent service as well as exceptional food quality.
Looking forward to trying their Orlando location. We will remember this dinner. If you're in Key West you have to go.
Great place with fantastic food. Be ready to share and order lots of goodies. We were delighted with everything we ordered. We will definately go again.
I am a frequent diner at Santiago's and it never disappoints. I take all my visitors here and iit is always a huge hit. The food is great and service is always sharp. They have a great wine selection. Burratta and Saganaki are top two dishes in my book.
Great food and atmosphere or a tapas restaurant. All the dishes were prepared very well and tasted outstanding. Great for large parties sharing the tapas. We had eight people in our party so we each chose four tapas. It was a lot of fun tasting all the different dishes!
One of my favorite restaurants in Key West. Outstanding.
Everything was delicious, especially the beef tenderloin and a scallop special. Great friendly service too. Will be back!
Easily one of the best restaurants on the island. It starts with a great staff. They are very attentive to the needs of the customers. Empty plates are removed, water glasses are filled, tables are wiped, etc. You never feel rushed. It all makes for an enjoyable evening. Our favorites are the dates, croquettes, beef tenderloin and short ribs.
We walked over to Santiago's, which isn't in an upscale neighborhood. My husband actually looked at me and said, "Are you sure we are in the right area? ". We were about ready to turn around when we saw Santiago's across the street. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter, Adam, explained the specials and made some recommendations. The couple seated next to us were leaving and offered up their recommendations as well. Favorites--scallops, beef tenderloin, short ribs, shrimp & chorizo. We wanted to try a few other items, so plan to go back later this week.
This is on our annual eating frenzy in Key West and has by far become our favorite. Only negative is you must have reservations as it is small and quaint, which is nice. Start with a salad which is large enough to feed 4 (they do tell you that) then order a variety for "bites" for everyone. There is always a scallop special which was Diver Scallops with Walnut Pesto and Balsamic Reduction - scallops cooked perfectly and pesto was a great addition. I have yet to have something bad here. Our table also had short ribs, shrimp and chorizo, meatballs and pasta, monk fish special, and lamb chops, all good. Oh yea, beer and wine only but don't pass up the home made sangria. Again, make reservations and enjoy.
We saw this restaurant on our way to breakfast one morning and decided to try it for dinner. We savored every morsel and spent about two hours enjoying these small plates. We started with the shrimp bisque and mushroom soup which were great with layers of flavor. Our favorite cold plates were the civiche made chunky with fish brought in that morning and big chunks of avacado, mango, and red onion; the smoked salmon carpaccio was fresh and so yummy. Our favorite hot plates were the short ribs which have a delightful sweet crust, the shrimp and chorizo with the wonderful garlic, and the tender and delicious beef tenderloin served with a perfect mixture of blue cheese and butter. It was our favorite meal on the island and reasonably priced.
Outstanding service and quality of food. Everything was delicious!
It's truly difficult to order anything bad... everyone at our table had a wonderful experience.
Closed out a birthday weekend celebration at this awesome dining establishment. Santiago's Bodega is an off the beaten path gem of a place, and everyone I met recommended going there. If you're in the area and like excellent tapas with an energetic vibe then this is your place. The yellowtail ceviche presentation was different than any I'd had before, and it was as delicious as it was surprising. Also loved the pinchos (pork skewers) with chutney and the goat cheese stuffed/prosciutto wrapped dates (SUPER RICH so not for those watching cholesterol!). I'll definitely be back, hopefully soon!
We had a fantastic dinner at Santiago's Bodega. It's a little off the beaten path of the Duval Street corridor, but well worth the trip. We asked our very knowledgeable server for his recommendations in terms of what and how much to order, and he steered us perfectly. Delivery of the food was staggered very well. Standout small plates included thyme-and-pecan crusted petit rack of lamb, bacon-wrapped broiled mushrooms with basil aioli, and pinchos morunos (spiced pork tenderloin with apple chutney). The flourless chocolate cake with wildflower honey and berries was also quite delicious. This restaurant is a real find. If we find ourselves in Key West again, we will certainly pay a repeat visit. We've already recommended it to others.
This place was off the beaten path, but not far. It had wonderful tapas and great service! Food came out quickly and was easy to share. The red sangria was delicious. Would definitely recommend it to all I know!
Food was fantastic, service was attentive, sangria was amazing!!!
We found this place trough TripAdvisor! It was spot on...a gem of a place located about 2 blocks from our B&B! We had a wonderful dinner here, Chris was such a great server offer his take on each tapa that we ordered...Go here at least once when you visit Key West!
We loved everything about the restaurant....we have had better sangria (we ordered the red). Overall experience was still great. Neighborhood gem for sure. Short ribs were great! Also the beef tenderloin was tender and cooked perfectly! Kudos to the chef!!!
Awesome tapas from start to finish. Salads are huge! Service was great. You can order as you go and there is onrush to move you out. Make reservations! Without them you will wait or not get a tale at all. This is a must stop when in KW.
We live in Key West, so we come often. We had visitors in town from Canada, Norway, San Francisco, and North Carolina. All agreed that Santiago's Bodega was one of the best places they ate during their stay!

Abstract: The azimuthal surface nucleation field of an infinitely long type II superconducting cylindrical filament is calculated from the linearized Ginzburg-Landau equation for the order parameter. A current is thought to be passed along the axis of the filament which induces a magnetic field in the azimuthal direction. On increasing the current, the field increases to a value whereby a phase transition from the superconducting to the normal state occurs. The magnetic field lines are parallel to the surface of the cylindrical filament so that the required critical field is Hc3; the parallel surface nucleation field of a type II superconductor. The systems considered are a solid cylinder; free-standing and in a metallic matrix; and a very thin-walled hollow cylinder. The full numerical analysis is carried out only for a solid cylinder. In the case of a thin-walled cylindrical shell, the quantitative description of the superconducting- normal phase is given in terms of the limiting form of the temperature for small fields.

Abstract: The Hopkinson effect is the increase of magnetic susceptibility with temperature from near room temperature to near the Curie point. Although this effect has been known for more than a century, it has not been effectively utilised as an analysing tool in palaeo, rock and environmental magnetic studies. This is partly due to the poor understanding of the influence of magnetite (Fe,O.)grain parameters on the Hopkinson effect. In an attempt to study the effects of grain size on the Hopkinson effect, magnetite samples with well-defined grain sizes have been used. it was found that in general, magnetic susceptibility enhancement factor (SEF) obtained by heating the sample in a non-oxidising environment, increase with decreasing grain size. The relation of SEF to grain size is linear when plotted on a log-log scale. This relation has been used to infer grain sizes (hence magnetic domains) for some selected Botswana rocks. The inferred magnetic domains are consistent with independent predictions from hysteresis measurements for the same samples. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/338 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were prepared by RF sputtering of ceramic ITO target in pure argon atmosphere at a high base pressure of 3 10 4mbar without substrate heating and oxygen admittance. The use of pure argon during deposition resulted in films with high transparency (80–85%) in the visible and IR wavelength region. The films were subsequently annealed in air in the temperature range 100–400 1C. The annealed films show decreased transmittance in the IR region and decreased resistivity. The films were characterized by electron microscopy, spectrophotometry and XRD. The predominant orientation of the films is (2 2 2) instead of (4 0 0). The transmission and reflection spectra in the wavelength range 300–2500 nm are used to study the optical behaviour of the films. The optical transmittance and reflectance spectra of the films were simultaneously simulated with different dielectric function models. The best fit of the spectrophotometric data was obtained using the frequency-dependent damping constant in the Drude model coupled with the Bruggeman effective medium theory for the surface roughness. It has been found that the sputtering power and the chamber residual pressure play a key role in the resulting optical properties. This paper presents the refractive index profile, the structure determined from the XRD and the electrical properties of ITO films. It has been found from the electrical measurement that films sputtered at 200W power and subsequently annealed at 400 1C have a sheet resistance of 80O/& and resistivity of 1.9 10 3Ocm.

Abstract: Optical properties of Pb doped ternary Ge-Sb-Te chalcognide films prepared by thermal evaporation have been studied in the visible and near-infrared spectral regions. The straightforward analysis proposed by Swanepoel has been successfully employed and it has allowed us to accurately determine the refractive index and extinction coefficient of the films. The refractive index has been determined from the upper and lower envelopes of the transmission spectra. The absorption coefficient and extinction coefficient have been determined from the transmission spectra in the strong-absorption region. The dispersion of the refractive index is discussed in terms of the Wemple–DiDomenico single oscillator model. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/544 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The study of interaction of photons with matter finds wide application in areas such as industry, medical radiation dosimetry and radiation shielding. A careful review of these measurements indicates that the studies are exhaustive in respect of pure elements. However, measurements on photon attenuation in alloys are meagre. This is mainly due to the difficulty in procuring targets in suitable form for experimentation. Such studies play a prominent role in selecting alternative shielding materials on the cost-effective basis. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/268 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: A calculation is presented on the scattering rates of electrons via the bulk spectrum of longitudinal optical phonons near a current-carrying core of radius R employing the Frohlich interaction Hamiltonian. The electrons are mainly confined near the core by an electric potential and are also under the influence of the current-induced spatially inhomogeneous static azimuthal magnetic field. The external magnetic field lifts the double degeneracy of the non-zero electron's axial wave number (kz ) states, while that of the nonzero azimuthal quantum number (m) states is preserved. In fact, the kz < 0 electron's energy subbands are found to be characterized by minima in their variations with the field. The intrasubband scattering rates show a remarkable behavior in their variations with the field. First, for weak electric potential of the nanosystem, these exhibit a strong, nonetheless inharmonic, oscillatory behavior in their variations with the field. The oscillations are, however, smoothed out as the strength of the electrical potential is increased, commencing at lower values of the field, within the same range of values of the field used. Second, for the same strength of the electric potential, there arise phase variations of the scattering rates in their variations with the field, resulting from the variation in the electron's axial wave number.

Abstract: Fault-plane solutions of an earthquake can provide information about the type of fault. We report on the calculation of the fault-plane solutions of the earthquake that occurred on the morning of 18 May 2001 and was felt in the southern parts of Botswana and the North West Province of South Africa. The fact that there were few seismic stations in the vicinity of these areas meant that standard programs such as FOCMEC would produce a large number of possible fault-plane solutions. In this study a semi-manual method of determining fault-plane solution was utilized to obtain the most likely solution from a SEISAN program. The results obtained from these two methods shows that the focal mechanism for this earthquake was normal faulting. The two methods used compliment each other. Other information obtained includes epicenter at coordinates (longitude 26.0E, latitude 25.6S), magnitude of about 4.6 ML and origin time of 9:14.10.52 UTC.

Abstract: A comparative study of the traditional PZT ceramics and new single crystals is critical in selecting the best material and optimization of transducer design for applications such as conversion of ambient vibrations into useful electrical energy. However, due tomaterial and fabrication costs and the need for rapid prototyping while optimizing transducer design, primary comparisons can be based on simulation. In this paper, the COMSOL Multiphysics finite element package was used to study the direct piezoelectric effect when an external load is applied at the free end of a piezoelectric composite beam. The primary output parameters such as electric potential and electric field were studied as a function of the input strain and stress. The modeling is presented for the relatively new single crystal lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate (PMN32) and three different lead zirconate titanate ceramics (PZT-5A, PZT-5H, and PZT-4). Material performance was assessed by using a common geometry and identical excitation conditions for the different piezoelectric materials. For each material, there are three analyses performed, namely, static, eigenfrequency, and transient/time-dependent analysis. Comparative results clearly suggest that the new crystal material PMN32 is capable of outperforming presently useing piezoelectric ceramics for voltage generation.

Abstract: The granite-greenstone terrain of south-central Zimbabwe, encompassing the Belingwe (Mberengwa) greenstone belt and sections of the Great Dyke, provides important constraints on models for the evolution of the Zimbabwe craton and the Archaean crust in general. In this paper we enhance and model existing and recently acquired gravity data from the region and correlate the anomalies and their derivatives with the known basement geology to evaluate models for greenstone belt development. We also study the spatial gneiss-granite- greenstone association in general, and the geologic implications of models of the anomaly patterns in particular. Although the Belingwe greenstone belt has been mapped, its subsurface geometry is poorly known. Similarly, the Great Dyke is well studied, but no systematic study of the extent and cross-cutting relations of other mafic dykes in the Archaean crust has been undertaken. The regional gravity field shows no evidence for crustal thickness variations in the area and the gravity anomalies can be explained by lateral density variations of the supracrustal rocks. Prominent gravity highs are observed over the high density (≤ 3000 kg/m3) volcanosedimentary piles (greenstone belts) and ultramafic complexes. Well-defined elongate, sub-oval/elliptical gravity lows are associated with intrusive granitic plutons. The granite-greenstone contacts are marked by steep gravity gradients of up to 5 mGal/km that imply steeply dipping or near-vertical contacts for the anomalous bodies. This is tested and confirmed by 2½D modelling of gravity profiles across the Belingwe and Fort Rixon greenstone belts, constrained by measured densities and observed geological data. The modelling also indicates that these belts, and possibly all the belts in the study area (based on comparable densities and anomaly amplitudes), have limited depth extents in the range of 3–5 km. This is comparable to thicknesses obtained elsewhere from deep seismic reflection data and geoelectrical studies, but mapped stratigraphic thicknesses give a maximum depth extent of about 9.5 km. Present studies and previous work support the idea that the volcanics were extruded within rift zones and laid on older granitic crust, followed by subsidence and rapid deposition of sediments that were sourced from the adjacent basement terrains. The volcano-sedimentary sequences were subsequently deformed by intruding younger plutons and affected by late-stage strike-slip activity producing cross-cutting structures.

Abstract: The Limpopo Belt of southern Africa is a Neoarchean orogenic belt located between two older Archean provinces, the Zimbabwe craton to the north and the Kaapvaal craton to the south. Previous studies considered the Limpopo Belt to be a linearly trending east-northeast belt with a width of ~250 km and ~600 km long. We provide evidence from gravity data constrained by seismic and geochronologic data suggesting that the Limpopo Belt is much larger than previously assumed and includes the Shashe Belt in Botswana, thus defining a southward convex orogenic arc sandwiched between the two cratons. The 2 Ga Magondi orogenic belt truncates the Limpopo–Shahse Belt to the west. The northern marginal, central and southern marginal tectonic zones define a single gravity anomaly on upward continued maps, indicating that they had the same exhumation history. This interpretation requires a tectonic model involving convergence between the Kaapvaal and Zimbabwe cratons during a Neoarchean orogeny that preserved the thick cratonic keel that has been imaged in tomographic models.

Abstract: Bulk samples of Sn10Sb20-xBixSe70 (0 B x B 8) chalcogenide alloys were prepared by the conventional melt quenching technique. Thin films were prepared on wellcleaned glass substrates by thermal evaporation technique. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the alloys with x = 0 and 2 at.% of Bi were amorphous, whereas the alloys with x = 4, 6, 8 at.% were crystalline. The crystalline phases are identified as due to the formation of Bi2Se3 and BiSe2 phases. The microstructural and differential scanning calorimetric studies show the presence of these phases. A simple, straight forward procedure suggested by Swanepoel has been used to calculate the optical parameters, refractive index, and extinction coefficient. The optical gap for all the samples has been obtained from the Tauc plots. The variation in optical parameters for different Bi concentration has been explained on the basis of presence of defect states and the change in stoichiometry with the change in Bi concentration.

Abstract: The fluorescence and laser properties of seven specially chosen aromatic compounds are studied at 293 ◦C. The quantum yield of fluorescence, γ, decay times, τf , of the deaerated and non-deaerated solutions are measured. The oscillator strength, fe, fluorescence rate constants, kf , natural lifetimes, τT 0 , and intersystem crossing rate constants, kST, are calculated. Some laser parameters are calculated or measured experimentally. It is found that the position of the T level plays an important role in the fluorescence and laser properties of aromatic compounds. If the T level is situated below the Sp level, it decreases the quantum yield of fluorescence and the decay time and increases the threshold of laser action. If, due to some structural changes of a molecule, the T level is situated higher than the Sp level, then the quantum yield of fluorescence and the decay times are increasing and the threshold of laser action is decreasing. Such influence of the position of the T level upon fluorescence and laser properties of aromatic compound is explained by the fact that the Sp level mixes with the T level more readily than with other τ ∗ levels.

Abstract: Although several studies have recommended removal of secondary components of magnetic remanence by zero-field cycling from room temperature to a temperature much lower than the low temperature transition for magnetite (about 120 K), the method has not become a standard routine technique. This is partly due to the poor understanding of the behavior of magnetite particles at the low-temperature transition zone. Previous experiments by other researchers have used magnetite powders. In such powders it is always possible to attribute any discrepancy between the results observed and theory to possible existence of magnetostatic interaction effects or existence of elongated particles in samples presumed to contain only equant particles. Such factors need to be eliminated in order to have a better understanding of the low temperature behavior of magnetite particles. Low-temperature magnetic properties of lithographically produced arrays of both interacting and noninteracting cubic magnetite particles as well as those from powder particles have been measured as part of this study. A gradual increase in the amount of saturation isothermal remanent magnetization (SIRM) lost at the Verwey transition Tv with increasing particle size in the pseudo-single-domain size range has been observed. This behavior is consistent with the vortex state domain structure. The grain size dependence of the amount of SIRM lost at Tv is most probably what previous researchers reported as a magnetic memory particle-size-dependent trend. Magnetic memory measured during the cooling and warming process is shown to be a stress-related phenomenon. Such measurements could be useful in assessing the nature of stress in a magnetite sample.

Abstract: [Please note that the mathematical symbols have not transposed into this abstact].The luminescent and laser properties of heteroaromatic and aromatic compounds are reviewed and discussed on the basis of all possible mutual arrangements of singlet and triplet states. All heteroaromatic compounds are divided into five classes. It is shown that a heteroaromatic compound can only be an effective laser dye if it belongs to class V (a situation where the Tn_* level lies at higher energy than the S__* 1 level). Moreover, it is shown that the energy interval between the Tn_* and S__* 1 states must be no less than 1000 cmâ 1 since the rate constant of the non-radiative process S__*1 _Tn_*_T__1 is usually 100 times greater than the fluorescence rate constant. The classification is extended to compounds with orbitals of _l,_*, _,__* and _l,__* nature. Pure aromatic compounds, the spectral-luminescent properties of which are solely determined by transitions of _-electrons (_ _ _*), are also divided into five classes, depending on the mutual arrangement of the Sp(1La), S_(1Lb), Tp(3La) and T_(3Bb) states. It is found that only aromatic compounds of classes IV and V can be effective scintillators and laser dyes. It is also shown that the energy interval S_â Sp (for class IV) and T_â Sp (for class V) must be no less than 1000 cmâ 1. To illustrate the classifications for heteroaromatic and aromatic compounds, 12 specifically chosen compounds were studied experimentally and quantum chemically. The quantum yields, _ and decay times, _f of fluorescence in aerated and non-deaerated ethanol or cyclohexane solutions were measured. The oscillator strength, fe, fluorescence rate constant, kf, natural lifetimes, _0 T and intersystem crossing rate constants, kST are calculated. The laser ability of each of the compounds studied is tested. The suggested classification schemes can be extremely useful in the quest for effective scintillators and laser dyes among hypothetical heteroaromatic and aromatic molecules, enabling evaluation of these properties for a particular compound using only quantum chemical simulations.

Abstract: The magnetic hysteresis properties for well-defined micron-sized magnetite samples produced by electron beam lithography (EBL) are presented. In addition to measuring standard hysteresis parameters, first-order reversal curve (FORC) diagrams are also reported. EBL produces samples that consist of particles with very tightly constrained size distributions, and spatial distributions that govern the degree of intergrain magnetostatic interactions are accurately controlled and known. Thus EBL samples are significantly better characterized compared to powdered samples, which are conventionally used to characterize the size dependency of magnetic hysteresis properties of naturally occurring magnetic minerals. Compared with the hysteresis properties of powdered samples of the same nominal sizes, EBL samples display more multidomain-like (MD) behavior. The influence of magnetostatic interactions fields on hysteresis properties is analyzed. When magnetostatic interactions are effectively in only one direction, the hysteresis properties become more single domain-like, and if the interactions are in more than one direction, hysteresis becomes more MD-like, in agreement with numerical models.

Abstract: Emissions of vehicles represent a significant contribution to environmental pollution along roads. Pollutants from cars include gases such as (NOx, CO, CO2), solid components such as sort particles from exhaust system, abrasion products from the brakes and engine etc (Leven et al., 1999). Aerosols pollutants can reduce significantly the quality of the environment and seriously affect human health e.g. by contributing to high rates of allergies or diseases of the respiratory system. In this study, samples were collected at various distances from a busy road, Gaborone-Tlokweng road near Game store. Non-magnetic adhesive paper pieces were used as sample collectors. Magnetic properties of the aerosols collected were measured using a highly sensitive magnetometer (AGM-Micromag). Magnetic properties measured include total magnetic moment, hysteresis loops and associated parameters such as coercivity. In general, observed hysteresis loops are typical for magnetite.

I've recently started a new business and hired a graphic designer to do the company logo. Loved the work, but when he asked me about using it on his portfolio, I did explain that he can only use items for which he has permission (and for this logo, he wouldn't).
My 6th sense told me to make this designer sign a contract, but I finally relied on good ol' trust. Now, I've been told that he's gone ahead and used it on his portfolio.
All I have is an email and no signed contract. What steps can I take in this case to ask him to take it down? I'm in Canada if this helps.
I'm thinking of trademarking the business name, slogan and the logo. After that, it should be legally acceptable for me to ask him to remove it, right?

A heartening advance
Henrico Doctors' Hospital physician Charles Zacharias shows a patient video of the patient's own heart, as seen during an earlier procedure conducted as part of the hospital's TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) program. HCA Virginia is the only hospital in the region to offer the minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure, which provides a therapeutic alternative for patients with severe aortic stenosis who have previously been deemed inoperable. The hospital hosted an open house Sept. 5 to demonstrate the procedure, which has already been used on five patients who otherwise could not have received the life-saving assistance they needed. |

Scene sparkles, food falls flat
American Tap Room's new Willow Lawn location offers breath-taking atmosphere, but average dishes
On a rare warm night in late November, the newly opened American Tap Room was, to my surprise, bright and packed with guests – many eating outside.
I didn't have a clue what to expect from this unheard-of restaurant in an unexpected spot – right in the heart of Willow Lawn. I came to learn it's not unheard of; it's a restaurant chain out of Northern Virginia.
"It definitely improves the look of Willow Lawn," said my friend, who ventured to the new spot with me on a Monday night for dinner one week after the restaurant opened. > Read more.
Overstuffed turkeys
Free Birds offers some giggles, but more eye-rolling
Thanksgiving season is upon us – a time for friends, family, and recklessly indulgent overeating. As we settle into our annual turkey-induced food coma, there's no better time to take in a festive holiday film. And Free Birds, for better or worse, has the distinguished honor of being one of the only Thanksgiving-themed movies currently on the market.
The film stars Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson as Reggie and Jake, two turkeys who can't stand the Thanksgiving tradition of watching their neighbors be plucked and served for dinner. > Read more.

Joyce Cheney, seen here with her dog, Poodles, loves to hike.
She especially enjoys the Mount Manitou Incline and Barr Trail in Manitou Springs, as well as Section 16 and Waldo Canyon.
Of course, those are four of the most popular trails in the region.
Cheney wishes they got a little less use from members of the military who regularly go on training runs on those same trails.
Cheney said she regularly sees soldiers from Fort Carson and Air Force Academy cadets on the trails.
It bugs her.
Why, she asks, can't they train on the thousands of acres set aside for them?
"I wish they'd train somewhere else," she said. "These are public recreational trails. They have thousands of acres of base land available to train on."
Isn't it bad enough we have to share them with every Texan who wanders into town? (OK, the Texan crack is my smart-mouth remark, not Cheney's words.)
And something else really bugs her. Some of the military smoke. And, she said, they drop cigarette butts on the trails. Even lit butts!
Dropping cigarette butts on trails is not cool. Doesn't matter who you are, military or civilian. It's like letting your dog drop something on the trail. It's just wrong.
And lit butts are dangerous. Stupid and dangerous.
I was shocked at the idea soldiers and cadets are puffing and dropping butts after a 10-mile jaunt up Barr Trail. So I called a trails expert, Susan Davies, executive director of the Trails and Open Space Coalition, to see how bad the situation really is.
She said it's true our friends in the military, when they aren't risking their lives for us halfway around the world, do like to run our trails.
"But so what?" Davies said.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Davies added that the military doesn't just run the trails, they volunteer regularly to perform trail building and maintenance.
Here's proof: Air Force cadets with picks and shovels building trail in Red Rock Canyon Open Space and collecting trash along the Pikes Peak Greenway downtown Colorado Springs.

More than two million Americans have already cast ballots for president less than three weeks before Election Day with a substantial number coming in the battleground state of Iowa.
The state, which holds six key electoral votes, is on pace to exceed the 1.5 million votes cast early in in 2008 -- a trend that is not lost on either political party.
While both parties are investing resources in early voting, Democrats' push to turn out voters -- and in particular young voters in Iowa -- could be paying off.
Early numbers, which are updated daily, show that almost 20 percent more registered Democrats than registered Republicans have voted so far.
Of the 463,219 early voting ballots requested in the state as of Thursday morning, 45 percent came from registered Democrats compared to 30 percent of registered Republicans.
Experts caution no direct link should be made between requests and how the vote might go.
"We don't know if a registered Democrat will vote for Barack Obama and we don't know if a registered Republican will vote for Mitt Romney," said Michael McDonald, associate professor government and politics at George Mason University who specializes in elections.
But return data coupled with polls that show a slight lead for Obama in Iowa, he said, can give us some clue.
The electoral makeup in Iowa looks like it did in 2008 when Obama took the state by almost 10 points, according to McDonald. So far this year, 4 percent more Democrats have voted early than in 2008. Republican numbers have only risen by 1 percent.
That's not enough for Romney if he wants to flip the state, McDonald said.
"It's not just enough to recreate the 2008 electorate. Romney needs to have improvement," McDonald said. That's assuming that Election Day returns mirror 2008 as well.
Romney's improvement might come naturally to Republicans in Linn County, Iowa, one of the Hawkeye State's most populous counties.
Tim Box, the deputy commissioner of elections there, said Democrats are more naturally inclined to vote early and Republicans are more apt to cast ballots on Election Day.
"If you paint it with a broad brush, a lot of Democrats vote absentee, Republicans go to the polls. They always start behind (in Linn County)," Box said.
He also attributed the Democratic success to an organized effort to turnout early voters. Democrats, for instance, requested more satellite voting sites for early voting and staffed them more heavily than Republicans.
There is some good news for Romney in the state since early voting requests and returns are slowly closing the gap between Republicans and Democrats, day-to-day monitoring shows.
With some "hustling" and a push at the end, Romney could make a race of it, McDonald said. He could also change the game if he is able to turn out more Republicans on Election Day than the GOP did in 2008.
And while Iowa's electoral votes could be key to winning the White House, what is true of Iowa is not true of Ohio or of North Carolina, two of the 22 states that have begun early voting.
"Each state is like a unique snowflake (when it comes to early voting)," said McDonald since the Constitution gives each state the right to administer their elections at a state level.
What this also means is that with different demographics, Democrats and Republicans have different strategies for turning out early voters in each state with different results.
What's also different is the way that states collect data, meaning that it is easier to infer conclusions from returns in states that report party registration, like Iowa.
But in Ohio, where registration is required only in primaries, the parties rely on different indicators, like returns in key strongholds.
And there is encouraging news for both: In Hamilton and Franklin counties, two urban centers around Cincinnati and Columbus respectively, early voting shows heavy turnout in the areas that helped secure the state for Obama in 2008.
The state is mailing absentee ballot applications to voters for the first time this year and McDonald said that could be affecting increased returns in rural areas, which are more heavily Republican.
In rural areas of Ohio, absentee ballots sent to each registered voter in the state for the first time in 2012 also show increased turnout.
In Cuyahoga County, the largest in the state and home to Democrat-heavy Cleveland, nearly 250,000 absentee ballots have been requested and some 80,000 have been returned. Those numbers strongly favor Democrats: 47,538 to 16,720.
GOP officials say their absentee and in-person voting turnout in Franklin County is coming along nicely. Republicans account for 16.5 percent of registered voters there, but make up 28.6 percent of early voting activity so far.
Still, McDonald said looking that the numbers now is "like reading tea leaves."
It is also still too early to decipher returns in North Carolina, which began early voting on Thursday.
If voting stays pace with projections from early voting experts, 5 percent to 10 percent more than the 30 percent or 130 million Americans who voted early in 2008 will have voted before Nov. 6, according to early voting experts.
Here's a look at the early voting returns so far and the dates that they began voting, according to state and county voting officials:
• California (Oct. 8): The Golden State issued more than eight million ballots as of Wednesday, but just more than 81,000 -- or 1 percent have been returned.
• Georgia (Oct. 15): 120,032 ballots have been cast in person and 73,119 ballots via mail. There are still almost 100,000 mail-in ballots outstanding. Early voting began in Georgia on Oct. 15.
• Idaho (Sept. 21): Did not return requests for data.
• Indiana (Oct. 8): More than 180,000 applications for early voting ballots have been submitted since the state began early voting. Of those, 118,000 have been returned. Indiana has in-person absentee voting.
• Iowa (Sept. 27): Of the almost 450,000 absentee ballots requested, more than half have been returned.

Hi! My name is Alexis, I live in NJ. My family has run a restaurant for over 45 years here at the shore. We have pizza, steaks, ribs, Italian-American dinners and a full bar. We serve both the Trenton style tomato pie with a cheddar cheese base and sauce in a bulls-eye pattern on top of the cheese, and NY style pizza with Grande mozzarella and the sauce under the cheese. We have two 60 year old gas fired brick deck ovens that run at 550 degrees.I'm looking forward to chatting with all of you and learning even more about pizza!
Hi Norma!We use extra sharp white cheddar from US Foods. Unfortunately it is their brand, so it's not available in stores. It's a very sharp, but creamy white cheddar...the Cracker Barrel extra sharp white or Cabot would probably be a good approximation. Our sauce is also very plain, just Full Red pizza sauce with basil mixed with some water and salt and pepper. Sauces that taste too "cooked" or have too many spices seem to compete with the strong flavor of the cheese and don't work as well.I worked front of house for many years, moved into the kitchen 6 years ago when our chef left. I do mainly the hot and cold foods, and am just getting over my fear of dough and learning more about pizza, so I have much to learn!
I just read the Boardwalk pizza thread. Our pizza is very similar to Mack & Manco's, or if you've ever been to Seaside Heights, Maruca's. We use high gluten flour, Pilsbury or Trump, depending on which supplier it comes from that week. It doesn't make that much of a difference for us. I'll get our dough recipe and post it here...it's a very silky, elastic dough that can be thrown, it gets very crispy, but not crackery. We do one rise at room temp, then the dough is cut and rolled, put on lightly oiled trays and is rested in the fridge. I do mine the same at home, I usually make dough a day or two before I will use it.Feel free to ask questions, I will do my best to answer, and hopefully I can get that dough recipe on here so it can be analyzed by those more fluent in dough speak than me.

Hard disk encryption with DM-Crypt, LUKS, and cryptsetup
If you're serious about keeping secrets, try hard disk encryption with DM-Crypt and LUKS.
File encryption is a popular means for ensuring the security and privacy of file-based data. An intruder who breaks through your firewall won't be able to read your private files if they are encrypted, right? Actually, selective file encryption provided by utilities such as GnuPG covers some of your tracks, but it may not cover all of them. An intruder can still learn about your system – and maybe even reconstruct some of your file data – by snooping through secret files, temporary files, configuration data, and command histories. The /var/spool/cups directory, for example, could yield a treasure trove of data about files you might have printed in the past, and tools such as the Gnome Thumbnail Factory could be storing an unencrypted thumbnail of your encrypted images.
