'The Magician's Assistant' is at once a love story and a brilliant portrayal of reinvention about a magician who dies leaving his assistant/wife to discover he has lied about his past. A magician (with one memorable appearance on the Johnny Carson Show to his credit) takes the name Parsifal. He is gay. He has a Vietnamese lover, Phan. When Phan dies of AIDS, Parsifal marries the woman who has always adored him and who has lived with them both, his assistant Sabine. Then Parsifal himself dies in California, suddenly and shockingly, of an aneurysm. Parsifal always said that he had no living family and that he came from wealthy upscale Connecticut stock. The reality is very different, as Sabine learns from his lawyer. He came from a poor Nebraska family and they are very much alive. Indeed his mother and sister are on their way to California to meet Sabine, the daughter- and sister-in-law they know nothing about. It is bad that her husband has died. What Sabine must now cope with is coming to terms with his horrific past and the reason he divorced himself from his family and roots. Read Less

The novel begins with the death of Parsifal, the magician of the title, with his ?assistant? and wife, Sabine by his side. However, this was a marriage between a gay man and a woman who had adored him for the previous 22 years. Parsifal, who died of an aneurism but was already holding a warrant signed by death after being diagnosed with AIDS, wanted to give Sabine a financial as well as an emotional stability by marrying her after Parsifal?s Vietnamese lover Phan had died a short time before. A few days after the funeral Parsifal?s lawyer informs Sabine that Parsifal had left a considerable amount of money to his mother and two sisters. Parsifal was wealthy and now so was Sabine so the money being left to Parsifal?s family was of no consequence to Sabine. But what was of consequence was that Sabine was not aware of Parsifal?s family as Parsifal had never talked about his family and had led Sabine to believe that they were dead. Soon after, Parsifal?s family visit Los Angeles to not only meet Sabine but to visit Parsifal?s (or Guy as he was christened), grave and hopefully have Sabine show them some of Parsifal?s favourite places. During this time Parsifal?s mother, Dot Fetters, invites Sabine to visit her and her family in the small town of Alliance in Nebraska and to attend her daughter?s wedding. Sabine agrees and during the visit she discovers that though she had known and loved Parsifal for 22 years and believed she knew everything about him it soon transpires that Parsifal had failed to illuminate Sabine about his early life that would define who he would become as a man. I am going to write up front that this a delightful book that injects one with feelings of joy. The subject matter may involve death and its black tendrils that reach out and attempt to suffocate those left behind who are trying to come to terms with their loss. But this is not a didactic novel that attempts to give answers as to how to cope with death and find what the American?s refer to as ?closure?. No, this novel is partly about how our young informative years can either define our adult life in such a way as to either set one on a road to destruction or that one cannot allow an unhappy childhood to mould us into unhappy adults. Philip Larkin may have been correct when he wrote, ?They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do? but as this novel attempts to prove one can break this cycle of being fucked up. As Sabine becomes involved in the lives of Parsifal?s parents each side draws sustenance and strength from the other and in so doing allows them to become more than they are, more than they would have been if there orbits hadn?t began to circle each other with the gravity of Parsifal?s death. Ann Patchett?s style of writing is both luminous and absorbing. Here is her describing Los Angeles; ?Sabine was glad to show off her city. Los Angeles, she felt, was maligned because it was misunderstood. It was the beautiful girl you resented, the one who was born with straight teeth and good skin. The one with the natural social graces and family money who surprised you by dancing the Argentine tango at a wedding. While Iowa struggled through the bitter knife of winter and New York folded in crime and the South remained backwards and divided, Los Angeles pushed her slender feet into the sand along the Pacific and took in the sun.? The author shows a considerable understanding of family dynamics. Her descriptions of childhood and the all encompassing, all pervading parental fear of a child being hurt, disabled or lost is sublime. ?Sabine?s mother tells the story of hearing a scream that was the sound only a dying person would make. She thought a wolf or a bear, animals that had never before come into the city of Montreal, was at that moment in her yard, eating her daughter alive. But when Sabine ran to her, it was only the snow she was screaming at, and her mother said she understood.? Within this story of death, love and families is humour. It is a subtle humour that is as beguiling as any well performed magic trick. Ann Patchett has written a compellingly lyrical novel that any reader will find hard to ignore.

Might be a little hard to take if you are recently widowed yourself as the lead character has just lost her husband. It hits close to home. A different kind of story throwing together unlikely characters. Patchett has a great way with dialogue and characterization. After loving Bel Canto and Run, I was pleased with this one and will seek out another novel by Patchett.

ProsVery utilitarian ConsNot a "Work" truck
Perfect Truck — I like how it handles. It holds the road very well, acceleration is smooth, braking is firm and cruising on the highway is much more like riding in a luxury sedan then a truck. This is a fun truck to drive. It has many utilitarian features that makes it convenient for running errands around town, camping or going to the beach. It is not what I would consider to be a "Work" Truck. If that is what someone needs than this is probably not the truck for them. For me, it is perfect. |

Sarasota Small Business of the Year Awards: Pines of Sarasota
Date: June 17, 2010
by: Stephanie Hannum | Black Tie Editor
Pines of Sarasota President/CEO John Overton wants you to know, "You don't have to die to come here."
Pines of Sarasota offers so many useful programs that Overton believes are worthy of promoting in the community.
"I believe if we can keep seniors in their homes for as long as possible, that's where we want to be, so we're providing the education for caregivers so it's a win-win situation for everyone," said Overton.
The Pines Education Institute of Southwest Florida has been created to provide education for staff and family members on topics relating to taking care of seniors. In addition, Pines of Sarasota employs nine full-time occupational, speech and physical therapists in its rehab center, which also offers outpatient rehab. Overton believes Pines of Sarasota is providing Alzheimer's/dementia care that other places can't, or won't, provide.
Starting with six elderly men, Pines of Sarasota began in 1948 and was originally sponsored by Downtown Sarasota Kiwanis Club (which it continues to be supported by — Overton is president of the board).
"Pines of Sarasota has been doing this work for as long as, or longer than, anyone else in the state of Florida," said Overton. "Pines opened 18 years before Medicare and Medicade were passed into law."
Overton, on staff since 2001, follows this slogan: "Management builds the people and the people build the organization."
He believes in being closely involved with the workforce and wants his organization to continually be recognized.
"We continue to conduct ourselves in a manner that people who want to work in long-term care will want to work here," said Overton. "And, if you know someone who needs long-tem care, we'd be recognized as the premiere provider. The ultimate goal is that people can chose anywhere, but they choose here."
Address: 1501 N. Orange Ave., Sarasota
Start date: 1948
Number of employees when started: Four
Number of employees now: 350 full- and part-time employees
Advice: "Keep closely involved with your workforce because they are the folks that build the organization."
Biggest challenge: "Dealing with a declining reimbursement from state funding to take care of these folks and building occupancy despite those pressures."
Where do you see your business one year from now? "Continuing to spotlight our rehab center and outpatient services."

Embankments of the Krishna and its numerous canals criss-crossing the delta in Guntur and Krishna districts have begun breaching at several places as there was no let up in the outflow of water from the Prakasam Barrage in Vijayawada on Tuesday.
One embankment gave way near Repalle town in Guntur in the wee hours. The surging water soon entered at least five villages downstream. Officials evacuated people from these villages before any lives were lost and are persuading those in other villages to leave to safer places. Irrigation and revenue officials are planning ways to prevent water from entering Repalle town.
Meanwhile, contrary to the assurances given by Chief Minister K. Rosaiah and irrigation officials that the outflow from the Prakasam Barrage would come down to 9 lakh cusecus on Monday by regulating the releases at Nagarjunasagar, the discharge remained at a high of 10.8 lakh cusecs till Tuesday noon. Officials are now attributing this heavy inflow to the water released 24 hours ago, the time taken for the water to flow from Nagarjunsasgar to the Prakasam Barrage.
People in the Diviseema area of Krishna district, especially in Hamsaladeevi village, lying in the estuary, are living in the grip of fear. This village lies about seven km from the Bay of Bengal and any breach of the river embankments, already being pounded by the enormous quantity of water, would spell disaster.
So far, two breaches have occurred -- one to the KEB canal inundating three to four villages and another near Edurumundi village which has submerged 12 villages.
PTI report adds
The Krishna river flood embankment breached at Oleru village in Pallepalem today.
The Irrigation Department rushed to close the 20-metre breach point, however, after struggling for two hours, they expressed their inability to accomplish the job till the flood recedes, officials said.
Industries Minister K Lakshminarayana and Technical Education Minister M V Ramana Rao directed the police to use force if necessary to shift the villagers to safer places.
The breach caused due to the release of 11.2 lakh cusecs of water from the Prakasam barrage (near Vijayawada) down the stream and also due to farmers inserting cement pipes in the flood bank for drawing water to irrigate their lands, officials said.
As many as 70 villages in 15 taluks along the river course were inundated by the floods in Guntur district. The most hit were Bhattiprolu, Repalle, Kollur and Kollipara taluks.
The ancient Amaralingeswara Swamy temple in Amaravathi town continues to be encircled by water. Low lying areas in the town are waterlogged. The Amaravathi-Guntur road has breached disrupting traffic. Madduru village is marooned.

I know who should pay for their GP appointments:
the people who don't turn up for them
It happens with hotels, restaurants and plane tickets. Three missed appointments and you should be dumped and have to seek care elsewhere.
If we value the NHS so much, why didn't we turn up for 12 million GP appointments last year? Costing £162m that the service can ill afford. Nearly seven million hospital appointments were also blighted by no-shows, at an average cost of £108.
The NHS does an amazing job, in spite of being burdened by red tape, top-heavy administration and dysfunctional IT, with an ageing population placing huge demands on the system. Being free at the point of delivery is a core value – one that makes us proud to be British – but is it sustainable? If you value something, then treat it with respect. Otherwise it will disappear.
This week, GPs debated whether to ask the Government if they could impose charges for appointments. A sliding scale of between £10 and £25, to deal with critical shortages in funding. The motion failed, but it raised key issues that none of us can ignore.
Another part of the proposal, urging the Government "to define services that can and cannot be accessed on the NHS", was carried. One GP said that charging would lead to "survival of the richest, not treatment of the sickest". Others said charges were "toxic" and worried that GPs would become "tax collectors for the Government".
GPs all agreed that the service was in crisis. Appointments often have to be booked ages in advance. Time spent with patients is too short, and there are the people who turn up (about 10 a day at local surgeries) simply because they are lonely.
The pressure on doctors has led to a crisis in A&E, with a new two-tier system being proposed, as well as more walk-in centres, staffed by nurses. There are 39 at present, open outside office hours, and they attract far more young people than regular health centres. Up to 30 per cent of admissions at A&E – 6.5 million people – could be treated by doctors, ambulance staff or nurses. They are not emergencies at all.
A two-tier system might be a solution at GP practices too, because at least a third of patients are elderly or people suffering from long-term conditions. Surely they could be assigned a special practitioner (and counsellors or nurses), freeing up the other doctors to deal with new conditions or the stuff that doesn't warrant a trip to casualty.
I also favour health centres taking our bank or credit card details, and fining us if we don't show. It happens with hotels, restaurants and plane tickets, so why not a trip to the doctor? Three missed appointments and you should be dumped and have to seek care elsewhere.
Loneliness is a real problem among the elderly, and health centres need more group therapies involving volunteers and trainee counsellors who can earn the hours needed for their qualifications by talking and encouraging social interaction.
When people say they are prepared to pay to see the doctor, they already have that option. It's called private healthcare. If you can afford it, then there's nothing to stop you. What people also want are longer appointments, but that can happen only if doctors have their case-loads halved, and stuff that can be treated by a nurse or a pharmacist identified before a patient is sitting on the other side of their desk.
I'm always annoyed that I can't talk to my GP online, as I'm sure that would save a load of his time. I can't get the results of blood tests online, and have to call a busy receptionist. There are plenty of ways the current system could be improved. Charging is appealing, but I prefer a short sharp shock – implementing fines. Charging would be swamped in paperwork. There would be endless exceptions (the elderly, etc) and so it would never work.
At the moment, 90 per cent of the prescriptions dispensed on the NHS are free. Are they all really necessary? Why not have a fundamental drugs audit, do some ruthless pruning, and I expect quite a few hundred million would be saved. Charging introduces a class system into the NHS, one of the few institutions in the UK that's relatively democratic.
Shrill male critics are deaf to soprano's real beauty
The way male critics have attacked the female opera star in Glyndebourne's new production of Der Rosenkavalier for not conforming to their idea of beauty is outrageous. Have you ever seen a picture of Rupert Christiansen of The Daily Telegraph (who called her "dumpy"), or Quentin Letts of the Mail ("she has the figure and the face of a goodish pork pie")? In the baying pack was Richard Morrison of The Times, who chucked in "unsightly", and Andrew Clark of the Financial Times couldn't resist calling her "a chubby bundle of puppy fat".
Soprano Tara Erraught is 27 years old, hardly a bouncing toddler. She's won international awards, toured the US and is regarded as a huge talent. Let's shoot the costume designer for Der Rosenkavalier, and the director, not the woman who is just a professional, singing sublimely.
Years ago, I produced a television documentary in which Peter Ustinov interviewed Luciano Pavarotti. Half the encounter took place in the kitchen, where they ate huge bowls of pasta. The rest of the film was shot in the swimming pool, where the mountains of blubber stood and chatted, with water obscuring their torsos. You can guess which footage we used
Some of us will need our tools wrenched from lifeless hands
I managed to avoid Philip Roth's two-part telly "retirement" extravaganza last week, which featured his best buddy Alan Yentob asking obsequious questions on bended knee. Have you noticed how retirement means something different to famous people? At 81, Roth says there'll be no more writing or telly and stage appearances. At least that's what he's saying now, but successful artists and writers are very likely to change their minds when boredom sets in, and they have one more good idea and need to publicise it.
Lily Allen "retired" to have children – but is back partying and promoting her new album. Sinead O'Connor retired, but is singing beautifully. Prince retired and shunned the world but he's currently touring the UK and even says he wants to live here. At 79, Sophia Loren hasn't retired – she's just become more selective, appearing at Cannes to promote her son's new film, in which she stars (naturally).
A new survey shows that more than half of us worry that we can't afford a retirement of 25 years, and a quarter of us say we will be working until we're 70 – unless we write a hit song or a best-seller, that is. I'm not genetically programmed to retire. You'll have to prise the laptop from my claws when you tip me in the soil.
Happiness is enjoying heavenly Harrogate
Harrogate has been voted the happiest town in Great Britain – not that you'd know reading the local paper, in which dozens of letters complain about the threat of new superstores, new housing estates and a potential rise in crime if street lights are dimmed. The town has an elderly population which gets anxious, but also an extremely wealthy middle class, plenty of swanky shops and restaurants, and the divine Betty's Tea Rooms, where I celebrated one of my weddings.
Harrogate is lovely because of the Stray – that vast sumptuous expanse of grass that gives the centre of the town such a sense of calm. Badges like "happy" are pretty meaningless, but Harrogate is a special place because the council doesn't skimp on parks or flowers. There are plenty of benches to sit on and gorgeous hanging baskets. Stuff everyone can enjoy for nought.

Article: A low temperature reduction of CCl4 to solid and hollow carbon nanospheres using metallic sodium
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Carbon nanospheres are obtained by reacting metallic sodium at 100 °C with tetrachloromethane under a flow of N2 gas at ambient pressure.

ABSTRACT: The electron spin lifetime in an assembly of chemically synthesized graphene sheets was found to be extremely sensitive to oxygen. Introducing small concentrations of physisorbed O2 onto the graphene surface reduced the exceptionally long 140 ns electron spin lifetime by an order of magnitude. This effect was completely reversible: Removing the O2 by using a dynamic vacuum restored the spin lifetime. The presence of covalently bound oxygen also decreased the electron spin lifetime in graphene, although to a far lesser extent compared to physisorbed O2 . The conduction electrons in graphene were found to play a significant role by counter-balancing the spin depolarization caused by oxygen molecules. Our results highlight the importance of chemical environment control and device packing in practical graphene-based spintronic applications.Chemistry - A European Journal 11/2014; · 5.93 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Graphene is theoretically expected to be a highly suitable material for spintronic and quantum computation applications. Current experimental reports assign surprisingly low spin lifetimes to graphene and related carbon structures. Recently, we showed a solvothermal synthesis method that can be employed to produce a high-purity sample, which approximates very well the assembly of graphene sheets. Using the contactless spectroscopic technique of electron spin resonance (ESR), we were able to identify in this graphene material the ESR of both conduction electrons and localized spins [Náfrádi et al., Carbon 74, 346–351 (2014)]. Here, we show the temperature dependent evolution of the ESR of these two spin species.physica status solidi (b) 10/2014; · 1.61 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The conjugated aromatic system of graphene was used to trap the reactive, boron-rich 1,2-carborane cluster. Functionalization of the graphene surface was confirmed by solid-state MAS (11)B NMR spectroscopy and quantified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: A chemically synthesized graphitic material where the structural coherence between the layers is missing approximates very well the assembly of graphene sheets. Our multi-frequency (9.4–420 GHz) electron spin resonance (ESR) study clearly identifies itinerant and localized electrons below 50 K. The metallic signal ascribed to the conduction electrons in graphene is characterized by a remarkably long spin lifetime of 65 ns. Above this temperature incoherent in-plane and inter-plane scattering give a motionally narrowed single line at g = 2.0044.Carbon 08/2014; 74:346–351. · 6.16 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The inability to readily upscale nanofabrication of carbon nanomaterials often restricts their application, despite outstanding performances reported in both the research laboratory and prototype stages. Here we report the direct chemical synthesis of graphene nanoribbons by a bottom-up approach based on the common laboratory reagents sodium and propanol; these are solvothermally reacted to give an intermediate precursor that is then rapidly pyrolized yielding single- and few-layer graphene nanoribbons. Our results show that confinement of the lateral dimensions of graphene can be achieved simply by varying the alcohol feedstock. The ability to produce bulk quantities of graphene nanoribbons by a low cost and scalable approach is anticipated to enable a wider range of affordable real-world graphene applications.Materials Letters 03/2014; 119:75–78. · 2.27 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Post-synthetic modification of H3[(Cu4Cl)3(BTTri)8] or CuBTTri, where H3BTTri = 1,3,5-tris(1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-yl)benzene, with piperazine (pip) has yielded the grafted framework H3[(Cu4Cl)3(BTTri)8(pip)12], pip-CuBTTri, which exhibits an improved CO2 uptake at pressures pertinent to postcombustion flue gas capture compared with the non-grafted material. In particular, the volumetric capacity of pip-CuBTTri was 2.5 times higher than that of CuBTTri at ca. 0.15 bar and 293 K. A chemisorption mechanism for CO2 adsorption was proposed on the basis of diffuse reflectance infrared spectra (DRIFTS) and the high initial isosteric heat of adsorption (−Qst, ≈96.5 kJ/mol). Application of the Ideal Adsorbed Solution Theory (IAST) to a simulated mixture of 0.15 bar CO2/0.75 bar N2 revealed a selectivity factor of 130. Both pressure and temperature swing processes were found to be suitable for facile regeneration of the material over multiple adsorption–desorption cycles.Microporous and Mesoporous Materials 07/2013; 174:74–80. · 3.21 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The hydrogen absorption of sodium intercalated fullerenes (NaxC60) was determined and compared to pure fullerenes (C60). Up to 3.5 mass% hydrogen can reversibly be absorbed in NaxC60 at 200 °C and a hydrogen pressure of 200 bar. The absorbed amount of hydrogen is significantly higher than for the case when only the sodium would be hydrogenated (1 mass% for x = 10). At 200 bar the onset of hydrogen absorption is observed at 150 °C. At a pressure of 1 bar hydrogen the major desorption starts at 250 °C and is completed at 300 °C (heating rate 1 °C min−1). This absorption and desorption temperatures are significantly reduced compared to pure C60, either due to a catalytic reaction of hydrogen on sodium or due to the negatively charged C60. The hydrogen ab/desorption is accompanied by a partial de/reintercalation of sodium. A minor part of the hydrogen is ionically bonded in NaH and the major part is covalently bonded in C60Hx. The sample can be fully dehydrogenated and no NaH is left after desorption. In contrast to C60, where the fullerene cages for high hydrogen loadings are destroyed during the sorption process, the NaxC60 sample stays intact. The samples were investigated by X-ray, in-situ neutron powder diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. NaxC60 was synthesized by reacting sodium azide (NaN3) with C60 (molar ratio of Na:C60 is 10:1).International Journal of Hydrogen Energy 10/2012; 37(19):14307. · 2.93 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Large multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) have been synthesized by the reaction of polytetrafluoroethylene and ethanol with metallic lithium under solvothermal conditions. Production of the MWCNTs depends on a series of coupled reactions that utilize the liberation of chemical energy in the thermodynamically closed system. Various characterization studies show tubes with diameters of 50–150 nm and micrometer lengths. The interwall spacing was found to be 0.39 ± 0.04 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals the tubes are functionalized with up to 2.2 %/wt. fluorine and 6.0 %/wt. oxygen.Journal of Nanoparticle Research 06/2012; 14(6). · 2.28 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The combustion of naphthalene has been found to yield gram-scale quantities of carbon onions that are free of impurities and furthermore without the use of catalysts. X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicates that the interlayer spacing between concentric shells of the carbon onions is not uniform across the particle; rather it decreases from a graphite-like 0.34nm and approaches a diamond-like 0.29nm interlayer spacing towards the inner layers. The dispersion in the interlayer spacing is believed to result from differing external pressures exerted on the individual nanometer-sized graphitic membranes during formation of the onions. Electron microscopy techniques such as high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and scanning electron microscopy demonstrate the extensive formation of carbon onions. The HRTEM indicates that the onions consist of 50–54 shells, found to be in good agreement with the XRD data.Carbon 03/2012; · 6.16 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Here we explore the exceptional structural characteristics of a set of graphene-related materials prepared by a wet chemical approach. We present a comprehensive study of the effects of morphology, sonication, temperature, probe species, and stacking behaviour on the measurement of graphene surface area. Nitrogen gas was used in the solid state gas adsorption measurements and methylene blue dye for adsorption measurements on aqueous dispersions of graphene. The surface area values obtained are among the highest reported for synthetic graphenes: 1700 m2 g− 1 in aqueous dispersions and 612 m2 g− 1 in the solid state. Microscopy revealed the graphene used in the study was present in large part as free sheets and electron diffraction confirmed the successful synthesis of high quality graphene with a regular C–C bond length of 1.41 ± 0.02 Å.Highlights► Surface area measurements of graphene in the solid state and as aqueous dispersions. ► Surface area of graphene is tuneable based on post-synthesis preparation. ► Nitrogen adsorption was affected by the consolidation of the graphene layers. ► Kinetic effects influenced the outcome of methylene blue dye adsorption.Surface Science 01/2012; 606(1-2):34-39. · 1.87 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Here, we present the first muon spectroscopy investigation of graphene, focused on chemically produced, gram-scale samples, appropriate to the large muon penetration depth. We have observed an evident muon spin precession, usually the fingerprint of magnetic order, but here demonstrated to originate from muon-hydrogen nuclear dipolar interactions. This is attributed to the formation of CHMu (analogous to CH(2)) groups, stable up to 1250 K where the signal still persists. The relatively large signal amplitude demonstrates an extraordinary hydrogen capture cross section of CH units. These results also rule out the formation of ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic order in chemically synthesized graphene samples.Nano Letters 11/2011; 11(11):4919-22. · 13.03 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sulfur-graphene (S-GNS) composites have been synthesized by heating a mixture of graphene nanosheets and elemental sulfur. According to field emission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray mapping, Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis, sulfur particles were uniformly coated onto the surface of the graphene nanosheets. The electrochemical results show that the sulfur-graphene nanosheet composite significantly improved the electrical conductivity, the capacity, and the cycle stability in a lithium cell compared with the bare sulfur electrode.Journal of Power Sources 08/2011; 196(16):7030-7034. · 5.21 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Si/graphene composite was prepared by simply mixing of commercially available nanosize Si and graphene. Electrochemical tests show that the Si/graphene composite maintains a capacity of 1168 mAh g−1 and an average coulombic efficiency of 93% up to 30 cycles. EIS indicates that the Si/graphene composite electrode has less than 50% of the charge-transfer resistance compared with nanosize Si electrode, evidencing the enhanced ionic conductivity of Si/graphene composite. The enhanced cycling stability is attributed to the fact that the Si/graphene composite can accommodate large volume charge of Si and maintain good electronic contact.Electrochemistry Communications 02/2010; · 4.29 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: It has been shown that graphene doping is sufficient to lead to an improvement in the critical current density - field performance (Jc(B)), with little change in the transition temperature in MgB2. At 3.7 at% graphene doping of MgB2 an optimal enhancement in Jc(B) was reached by a factor of 30 at 5 K and 10 T, compared to the un-doped sample. The results suggested that effective carbon substitutions by grapheme, 2D nature of grapheme and the strain effect induced by difference thermal coefficient between single grapheme sheet and MgB2 superconductor may play an important role in flux pinning enhancement.Superconductor Science and Technology 01/2010; · 2.80 Impact Factor -

Conference Paper: Tuning the defect density in chemically synthesized graphene
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Gram-scale quantities of graphene sheets can be synthesized in a bottom-up chemical approach and we have sought to address the extent of the defect density using various characterization techniques which include X-ray diffraction, high resolution transmission electron microscopy, single area electron diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the chemically synthesized graphene sheets have a tendency to stack without inter-planar coherence such as that found in graphite. The driving force behind this stacking is believed to be due to ¿-¿ interactions between overlaid carbon sheets. The overall defect density was shown to decrease by simply varying the carbon precursor used in the chemical synthesis.Nanotechnology, 2009.

ABSTRACT: Carbon nanostructures have emerged as likely candidates for a wide range of applications, driving research into novel synthetic techniques to produce nanotubes, graphene and other carbon-based materials. Single sheets of pristine graphene have been isolated from bulk graphite in small amounts by micromechanical cleavage, and larger amounts of chemically modified graphene sheets have been produced by a number of approaches. Both of these techniques make use of highly oriented pyrolitic graphite as a starting material and involve labour-intensive preparations. Here, we report the direct chemical synthesis of carbon nanosheets in gram-scale quantities in a bottom-up approach based on the common laboratory reagents ethanol and sodium, which are reacted to give an intermediate solid that is then pyrolized, yielding a fused array of graphene sheets that are dispersed by mild sonication. The ability to produce bulk graphene samples from non-graphitic precursors with a scalable, low-cost approach should take us a step closer to real-world applications of graphene.Nature Nanotechnology 02/2009; 4(1):30-3. · 31.17 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Numerous techniques for the purification of chemically synthesized graphene have been investigated, exploiting the relative aqueous solubilities of the impurities and carbon sheets. This demonstrates that simple aqueous washing provides a reliable platform for the purification of graphene, without the need for harsh chemical treatments. The presence of cavities or pores in the as-obtained graphene structure are believed to inhibit small particles, that are interspersed throughout the material, from undergoing hydrolysis reactions.01/2008; -

Having worked a desk job for five years, licensed massage therapist Gina Manley is familiar with the aches involved with sitting all day in a stiff chair. That was one of the reasons she left the corporate world to become a massage therapist. But those five years weren't in vain; it was an experience that taught her that massages aren't just for wealthy people who are sore from swimming in their champagne-filled swimming pools. Rather, massages are a legitimate tool for promoting better health. She demonstrates this belief with her specialty Swedish and hot stone massages, designed to help achieve health benefits that range from boosting circulation to squeezing out toxins.

- Is it safe to take tamiflu and remeron together
I want to know is it safe to take Tamiflu while on the drug Remeron - I tested positive for methadone, i have never taken this drug (1 answer)
I tested positive for methadone, I have never taken this drug. My Dr said I had to have taken it because it was there and that a false positive is out of the question. Could my meds cause methadone to show up on a urine drug test - Can i take garcinia cambogia with vyvanse ? (1 answer)
What will happen?
I have been taking vyvanse since I was 6 years old but it hasn't helped with my weight problem. I want to take garcinia cambogia but I'm not sure what will happen. - 2 nights i have taken mirtazapine & loratadine and i have had restless legs for 2 hours during the night. i also don't want to put on weight (1 answer)
I am on a trial taking 10 mg of MIRTAZAPINE for Insomnia, which I have suffered from for many years. I wake every 20-40 minutes all through the night when I do finally go off to sleep. I am also taking LORATADINE to try and help the thick saliva I get in my throat. I have to spit out saliva after drinking. I often feel like I have a lump in my throat of phlegm (but it isn't). My mouth also feel slimy at intervals during the day and night. I have changed my toothpaste to see if that helps. I have only taken these tablets for 2 nights and I already have had restless legs for 2 hours both nights. - Is it okay to take 15mg. of remeron also known as mirtazapine (1 answer)
is it safe to take suboxone with remeron because I am having a panic attack
More questions for: Mirtazapine, Vyvanse
You may be interested at these reviews (Write a review):
- Caution about remeron!
As do many folks suffering from fibromyalgia with depression I ended up seeing a psychiatrist; several actually over the years. During my clinical exams in nursing school my anxiety levels were unbearable and my doc changed my AD to Remeron. So what happened? No more anxiety - no emotions at all! My daughter declared, "You're not my mom anymore - I don't know who you are!" I was walking into walls, my eye/hand coordination went wonky, and I didn't care! The only feeling I had was hunger. I gained THIRTY POUNDS IN ONE MONTH! Not trusting my shrink anymore because prescribing this potent drug to a nursing student was beyond negligent I went to my GP for advice. She was shocked and told me she only prescribed Remeron for her endstage cancer patients, mainly to increase their appetite. I was switched to another AD and sailed through my clinical and state board exams.
Even though we feel powerless and vulnerable when in crisis we have to garner enough energy to get all the facts and question if the medication is really the right choice! - Longterm vyvanse use and myocarditis
At 19 years old, I suddenly had a heart attack out of no where that left me with chronic myocarditis and pericarditis. I was perfectly healthy, did not use drugs, ate well, and exercised daily. The doctors could not come up with any explanation, but assumed it was an autoimmune disease. Neither heart disease nor autoimmune disease run in my family and the rheumatologist could not find any abnormalities. The only thing that I can come to think that caused this disease for me is taking vyvanse for about 5 years. Since then I have refused to take it, and it took me over a year for my heart to all most fully recover(it will never be fully recovered). I just want to know if there is anyone else out there who have suffered from a similar situation as me. - The zoloft/vyvanse concoction ruined my life.
I started taking these drugs about two months ago. I am diagnosed ADHD by a psychiatrist. I received these medications from a doctor whom I know and is married to a friend my wife. She, the doctor, gave them to me from her personal medications in a plastic baggy. I was given loose instructions for taking these on a piece of paper. I was never given the paperwork with warning signs. 10 days after starting these medications, I attacked my wife and am now separated. I am barred from seeing her and my daughter by means of a Victims Protective Order. I am a normally nonviolent person. Most who know me call me a peacemaker...a pacifist. I am still horrified by the events of that night. 15 seconds changed my life forever. I hope and pray my story helps others. Don't be naïve, as I was, when given medications. Ask questions. - Transition from mirtazapine to cymbalta (bipolar ii) 6 week duration taken in conjunction with seroquel, propranalol and implanon
In early September I approached my Psychiatrist to report that I was having sleep paralysis episodes as well as insatiable appetite. I had put on about 20lb in the space of 6 months since the sleep paralysis started.
My Psychiatrist opted to wean me off the Mirtazapine and onto Cymbalta. I have now been on 60mg of Cymbalta for about 4 weeks and completely titrated off the Mirtazapine.
I have noted that since switching to Cymbalta that I no longer have the insatiable appetite, nor have I had any further sleep paralysis episodes (though I have had a brain MRI to rule out any physiological issues - yet to receive results).
I have noticed that I have had mild to moderate rolling nausea with the Cymbalta and that I now have food aversions. Food does not interest me as much anymore and I find that certain foods (mostly processed snacks) are no longer palatable. I also find that I become full after much smaller meal portions.
I have found that I can no longer drink wine or spirits because they now taste awful however I can still tolerate certain brands of beer. I also no longer enjoy drinking cola.
I am also on the Implanon Implant. I have had this implant inserted for about 12 months and my cycles have been rather regular. Since starting the Cymbalta I have had some breakthrough bleeding yet my periods have not been as painful, though they have been heavier and longer.
My Psychiatrist will commence titrating me off the Seroquel in about two weeks and onto Topamax as it is his belief it will be less sedating than the Seroquel and that it will hopefully help as a mood stabiliser, treat my migraines and allow me to come off the Propranolol. he also hopes that I am able to loose some of the weight gained since the sleep paralysis episodes started.
As a side note regarding the Propranolol, I have naturally low blood pressure and I find while Propranalol is generally an effective migraine prophylactic, (I do get some breakthrough migraines) it does make my blood pressure even lower which leads to dizziness and faintness when I stand up too quickly from a recumbent position. - Patients having false positives while on remeron
I have had a few patients complain they are failing drug tests for Amphetamines while on remeron, and have claimed to have not used any type of Amphetamine or any (Mixed Salts). These patients are all or were on probation, parole, or under some stipulation. Iv realized most of these patients are taking another psych med. The list consists of insomnia meds such as Ambien(zolpidem), Sonata(zaleplon),Lunesta(eszopiclone). Also the Anti-Depressants Lexapro (escitalopram)and Prozac (fluoxetine). One of my patients was on Diazepam (Valium). I have switched medicines, particularly the Ambien, Lexapro, and Prozac have reversed the false negative. I prescribe many of my patients remeron. I'm a big believer in its effects on my patients moods and everyday depression. I have heard this happening before, but this was the first time I have ever had this happen to one of my own patients.(These were 5 separate patients in the span of 16 months) Of course none of these patients were criminalized based on lab results, but the issue still lies there. I know this is common for a lot of script meds to give false positives for narcotics. This is just obviously one I am putting out there. Let me know if anyone has experienced something similar.

Ship costumes: How do I make costumes for friendly and enemy ships?
I am working on a very extensive mission. However, there is one part that requires a space battle. The crux of my problem is that in order to simulate a new species I used several generic ships in an earlier part where there is no combate (that was easy), how do I assign costumes to combatant ships?
Edit: Never mind I figured it out. Have to click on individual actors. |

My MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/kammeronmichelle
Mayhem # 1404987
About Me**I am in the Bay Area in Northern California. currently: Fremont. **I am an artist (always), model (since 2002), and photographer (since 2009). I'd played with photography in the past but in 2009 I started working with models and that's when I got addicted to photography and really picked it up as my art medium. I love working with models (male and female) and enjoy building up my portfolio, and exploring photography. I offer TF only as I do not have a budget to pay models. So if you like my work and wanna work with me ... lets shoot. I work with models of all experience levels. While I am not married to any style of photography (fashion, glamour, artistic, nude, implied nude, etc), my STRENGTH is black&white and infrared. I tend to be more "artsy" then glamour or fashiony. I work with studio lighting/strobes or natural lighting. My turn around time to get finished photos to models varies (1-6 weeks). If it becomes apparent that it will take longer I am more than happy to send a cd of initial shots then send a cd of edited shots when completed. How I work: I can "dropbox" hi-res and lo-res final files or provide a CD/flash drive and ship it to you. I give you files of everything that I work on. I require a signed model release unless you are hiring my services. I NEVER require nudity. But I do like to take nudes or semi nudes. If you don't want nudes of you out there in the world then don't pose nude with me. I don't need or want a collection of photographs that I can't display. If you want to be credited or "tagged" (you or your stage name) in images, you need to tell me, better yet write it on the model release. What I DO with the photos: Use them in my portfolios (print AND online), as well as potential gallery shows, books, etc. I have several shoot ideas I would love to see materialize: Vintage nightgowns, slips, musical instruments, corsets, rope (not actually being tied up but looking like it, and I mean blk&wt shots with elegant rope). rain / wet / dirty / sandy / gritty. I like images that tell a story and will be pursuing that. I strongly encourage viewing my website if you are interested in working with me and viewing the people gallery as it will give you a idea of what I do. :) I'm a bit slow updating MM because I'm usually busy editing photos instead, and I usually only post infrared portraits here on MM. You can contact me through model mayhem message. Escorts are ALWAYS welcome. My MM model profile is # 477152 More info? ... What is infrared? I won't bore you with the technical details. The effect is what's important. It has kind of a marble "statue" appearance for skin. Almost all skin turns light or white. Hair turns light (almost white) on many people. Clothing turns random. Some things turn white, somethings turn blueish. Black suede tends to turn blue and black leather tends to stay black. So your awesome new dress may look like a totally different dress with my photos. Patterns on fabric tend to disappear. Makeup in infrared is also strange. Eyeliner WILL show up, creamy eye shadows tend to show up, powders don't. Lipstick can show up but doesn't always. Tattoos in infrared : They are AWESOME!! The dark lines become darker and because it lightens the skin it makes them "Pop" The color within the tattoo varies. Important note: Please don't wear skinny jeans when posing for me, unless you only want waist up shots. I know they are all fashionable and all the trend right now, but I do NOT find them visually appealing and I won't photograph them. I just won't do it!! CreditsJust a few of the awesome models I have had the pleasure to work with:Nymph (mm# 1145015) Venus Star (mm# 2940227) JEM model (mm# 713507) MAC (mm# 892729) And a few of the talented Makeup Artists and Stylists. Marisol Mak3up n Hair (mm# 591539) Angela Kim (mm# 1475192) Makeup and Hair by Nomi (mm# 2892618) I've worked with some amazing models and mua and stylists over the years. Lists

star this review starred report as inappropriateThe show was slow in the beginning, but eventually became interesting. It is a female
play, so you have to understand women to really appreciate the play.
This heartwarming true story follows a group of friends who gather each week at a salon in Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana. Truvy dispenses shampoo and advice to Ouiser, the town curmudgeon ("I'm not crazy; I've just been in a bad mood for forty years"), Miss Clairee, an eccentric millionaire with a sweet tooth, and M'Lynn, whose daughter Shelby is about to get married. Tough as steel and fragile as the blossoms of magnolia trees, these hilarious characters gossip, tease, laugh, fight, cajole, and comfort each other as they go through life's big joys and challenges.
