Creating Family Traditions - Domestic Fashionista
Family traditions and memory making are big parts to making a house a home and so over the last three years my husband and I have started creating our own family traditions we hope to continue to pass on to our children one day.? When I think of my own childhood I look back on the little things my parents would do to make everyday life and special occasions unique to our family.? It is those memories that I hold onto that I want to provide for my own family and guests who come in our home.
Here are just a few of some of our favorite family traditions we have built over the last few years...
On Thanksgiving Eve and Christmas Eve my husband and I spend the evening at home celebrating these holidays on our own and then the following day spend it with our family.? This allows us to make our own traditions but still make time for our family (and keep them happy!).
On Thanksgiving Eve we put up our Christmas tree since we don't host anyone on Thanksgiving and on Christmas Eve we always have brownie sundaes for dessert!
We host an annual holiday dessert party which has become our one signature party besides birthdays each year.? The theme of the party is that each guest brings a dessert and they all get voted on leaving one winner who gets to go home with a prize.? Having a theme for the party gives guests something to talk about during the party as well as something to look forward to each year.
Just this year we started getting birthday donuts.? It began by getting up out of bed at midnight on my birthday for a spontaneous donut run.
On Halloween I make a pumpkin shaped pizza for dinner while we watch a movie and hand out candy to trick or treaters.
Once a week we have dinner with my parents and another night with our in laws.? It makes for a busy week sometimes but we enjoy having the consistent time to spend with our family.
Every year in the fall we visit a local large apple orchard, Apple Hill, where we stock up on apples, eat apple donuts and a corn dog, and take lots of pictures!
We also visit the State Fair that comes to Sacramento every summer.? I have fond memories visiting it growing up as a kid but also sweet memories of going every year with my husband when we were dating.? I always get barbecued corn on the cob and funnel cake!? It is amazing how many of our traditions are surrounded around food!
On Easter my husband and I gift each other Easter baskets.? And I might have to even continue this when we have kids!? We also host my parents for an Easter breakfast before running off to other Easter family festivities.? I anticipate having Easter breakfast a family tradition when we have our own kids.
On road trips we always make sure to stop at In-n-Out and Sonic Burger.
On Saint Patrick's Day we make mint chocolate chip milkshakes.
Every Valentine's Day I host a ladies Valentine's Day tea where we get together over tea, lunch, and a craft.? It is a fun way for me to pour into and treat my girlfriends to something nice. ?
// Apparently we are obsessed with holidays and food!? That might be my doing.? But it sure is fun!? I would love to hear, what are some of your favorite family traditions from growing up or that you carry on in your family now?

A person rides in a cart blown by the winds along the Altlantic Ocean in North Wildwood, N.J., Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012, as the winds pick up ahead of Hurricane Sandy. From the lowest lying areas of the Jersey shore, where residents were already being encouraged to leave, to the state's northern highlands, where sandbags were being filled and cars moved into parking lots on high ground, New Jersey began preparing in earnest for Hurricane Sandy.

A satellite image of Sandy is shown at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012. Early Saturday, the storm was about 335 miles southeast of Charleston, S.C. Tropical storm warnings were issued for parts of Florida's East Coast, along with parts of coastal North and South Carolina and the Bahamas. Tropical storm watches were issued for coastal Georgia and parts of South Carolina, along with parts of Florida and Bermuda. Sandy is projected to hit the Atlantic Coast early Tuesday. (AP Photo/Alan Diaz)
WASHINGTON (AP) ? The storm that is threatening 60 million Americans in the eastern third of the nation in just a couple of days with high winds, drenching rains, extreme tides, flooding and probably snow is much more than just an ordinary weather system. It's a freakish and unprecedented monster.
How did it get that way?
Start with Sandy, an ordinary late summer hurricane from the tropics, moving north up the East Coast. Bring in a high pressure ridge of air centered around Greenland that blocks the hurricane's normal out-to-sea path and steers it west toward land.
Add a wintry cold front moving in from the west that helps pull Sandy inland and mix in a blast of Arctic air from the north for one big collision. Add a full moon and its usual effect, driving high tides. Factor in immense waves commonly thrashed up by a huge hurricane plus massive gale-force winds.
Do all that and you get a stitched-together weather monster expected to unleash its power over 800 miles, with predictions in some areas of 12 inches of rain, 2 feet of snow and sustained 40- to 50 mph winds.
"The total is greater than the sum of the individual parts" said Louis Uccellini, the environmental prediction chief of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration meteorologists. "That is exactly what's going on here."
This storm is so dangerous and so unusual because it is coming at the tail end of hurricane season and beginning of winter storm season, "so it's kind of taking something from both ? part hurricane, part nor'easter, all trouble," Jeff Masters, director of the private service Weather Underground, said Saturday.
With Sandy expected to lose tropical characteristics, NOAA is putting up high wind watches and warnings that aren't hurricane or tropical for coastal areas north of North Carolina, causing some television meteorologists to complain that it is all too confusing. Nor is it merely a coastal issue anyway. Craig Fugate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency told reporters Saturday: "This is not a coastal threat alone. This is a very large area. This is going to be well inland."
Uccellini, who estimated that 60 million people will feel the storm's wrath somehow, said: "This storm as it grows and moves back to the coast on Monday and Tuesday, the circulation of this storm will extend all the way from the Midwest, the Ohio Valley, toward the Carolinas up into New England and southern Canada. It's really going to be an expansive storm system."
It's a topsy-turvy storm, too. The far northern areas of the East, around Maine, should get much warmer weather as the storm hits, practically shirt-sleeve weather for early November, Masters and Uccellini said. Around the Mason-Dixon line, look for much cooler temperatures. West Virginia and even as far south as North Carolina could see snow. Lots of it.
It is what NOAA forecaster Jim Cisco meant Thursday when he called it "Frankenstorm" in a forecast, an allusion to Mary Shelley's gothic creature of synthesized elements.
Cisco and others have called this storm unprecedented. Uccellini, who has written histories about winter storms, said the closest analogs are the 1991 Perfect Storm that struck northern New England and a November 1950 storm. But this is likely to be stronger and bigger than the Perfect Storm; it will strike farther south, and affect far more people.
In fact, the location among those with the highest odds for gale-force winds in the country's most populous place: New York City. New York has nearly a 2-in-3 chance of gale force winds by Tuesday afternoon.
One of the major components in the ferocity of the storm is that it is swinging inland ? anywhere from Delaware to New York, but most likely southern New Jersey ? almost a due west turn, which is unusual, Uccellini said. So the worst of the storm surge could be north, not south, of landfall. And that gets right to New York City and its vulnerable subways, which are under increasing risk of flooding, he said.
"There is a potential for a huge mess in New York if this storm surge forecast is right," Masters said.
Add to that the hundreds of miles of waves and the overall intensity of this storm, Uccellini said in an interview, and "we are in the middle of a very serious situation."
Forecasters are far more worried about inland flooding from storm surge than they are about winds.
There are several measures for hurricanes. And one NOAA research tool that measures the intensity of hurricane overall kinetic energy forecasts a 5.2 for Sandy's waves and storm surge damage potential. That's on a scale of 0 to 6, putting it up with historic storms, such as Katrina. It rates a much smaller number for wind.
Because of the mix with the winter storm, the wind won't be as intense as it is near the center of a hurricane. But it will reach for hundreds of miles, spreading the energy further, albeit weaker, meteorologists said.
Uccellini and Masters said they expect the central pressure of the storm to drop to a near record low for the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast for any time of year. That is a big indication of energy and helps power the wind. This puts it on par with the 1938 storm that hit Long Island and New England, killing 800 people, or the equivalent of a category 4 hurricane.

'Extreme Cheapskates': Millionaire Forages For Food - Huffington Post
Most people have an image in their heads of what a millionaire lifestyle would be like. Well, the latest episode of "Extreme Cheapskates" throws that fantasy right out the window and into the woods -- where Victoria forages for food. According to her boyfriend, Victoria is a millionaire. Perhaps she got that way by never spending a cent. Ever.
She's so beyond frugal that she pees in bottles to avoid having to flush, showers at a gym -- despite her shower working just fine -- and uses appliances that are nearly fifty years old, except that she doesn't even always do that. To save on costs, she cooked a meal for her family on a makeshift stove outside
And then there's how she gets her food. Victoria was proud that she gets her food from a combination of dumpster diving and foraging in the woods "for wild edibles."
Perhaps it wasn't surprising that the meal didn't go over all that well. Her daughter-in-law was particularly put off when Victoria revealed that she forages for the food.
Is it frugal living, or "Extreme Cheapskates"? Watch new stories every Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.

Apple unveils long-rumored iPad Mini starting at $329
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Apple Inc.'s pencil-thin, smaller iPad will cost much more than its competitors, signaling that the company isn't going to get into a mini-tablet price war.
The company unveiled the iPad Mini on Tuesday, with a screen about two-thirds the size of the full model, and half the weight. Customers can begin ordering the new model on Friday. In a surprise, Apple also revamped its flagship, full-sized iPad just six months after the launch of the latest model.
Apple's late founder Steve Jobs once ridiculed a small tablet from a competitor as a "tweener" that was too big and too small to compete with either smartphones or tablets. Now Apple's own Mini enters a growing small-tablet market dominated by Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle Fire.
Apple is charging $329 and up for the Mini - a price that fits into the Apple product lineup between the latest iPod Touch ($299) and the iPad 2 ($399). Company watchers had been expecting Apple to price the iPad Mini at $250 to $300 to compete with the Kindle Fire, which starts at $159. Barnes & Noble Inc.'s Nook HD and Google Inc.'s Nexus 7 both start at $199.
"Apple had an opportunity to step on the throat of Amazon and Google, yet decided to rely on its brand and focus on (profit) margin," said Bill Kreher, an analyst with brokerage Edward Jones.
Apple shares fell $20.67, or 3.3 percent, to close at $613.36 after the price was announced. Shares of Barnes & Noble jumped 88 cents, or 6.1 percent, to $15.32. Shares of Amazon rose 53 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $234.31.
Apple has sold more than 100 million iPads since their debut in April 2010. Analysts expect Apple to sell 5 million to 10 million iPad Minis before the year is out.
Apple starts taking orders for the new model on Friday. The iPad Mini will be competing for the attention of gadget shoppers with the release that same day of computers and tablets running Windows 8, Microsoft's new operating system.
Wi-Fi-only models will ship on Nov. 2. Later, the company will add models capable of accessing cellular, LTE data networks.
The screen of the iPad Mini is 7.9 inches on the diagonal, making it larger than the 7-inch screens of the competitors. It also sports two cameras, on the front and on the back, which the competitors don't.
The iPad Mini is as thin as a pencil and weighs 0.68 pounds, half as much as the full-size iPad with its 9.7-inch screen.
The screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels, the same as the iPad 2 and a quarter of the resolution of the flagship iPad, which starts at $499.
The new model has better apps and is easier to use than competitors such as Google's Nexus, said Avi Greengart, a consumer electronics analyst with Current Analysis.
"This really is not in the same category as some of the other 7-inch tablets," he said. "And that's before you consider that it has a premium design - it's made of metal that's extremely lightweight."
Jobs attacked the whole idea of smaller tablets in his last appearance on a conference call with analysts in October 2010.
"The reason we wouldn't make a 7-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit a price point. It's because we don't think you can make a great tablet with a 7-inch screen," Jobs said. "The 7-inch tablets are tweeners, too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad."
Job's chief objection was that a smaller screen would make it hard to hit buttons on the screen with the fingers - never mind that Apple's iPhone, with an even smaller screen, was already a hit at the time.
Apple senior vice president Eddy Cue started working on changing Jobs' mind. In an email sent to other Apple managers in January 2011, Cue said the CEO had started warming to the idea of a smaller tablet. The email surfaced as part of Apple's patent trial against Samsung Electronics Co. this year. Jobs died last October.
Company watchers have been expecting the iPad Mini for a year and most of the details, except the price, had leaked out.
Apple also said it's upgrading its full-size iPad, doubling the speed of the processor. Previously, the company has updated the iPad once a year.
The fourth-generation iPad will have a better camera and work on more LTE wireless data networks around the world. Apple is also replacing the 30-pin dock connector with the new, smaller Lightning connector introduced with the iPhone 5 a month ago.
The price of the new full-size model stays the same as the previous version, starting at $499 for a Wi-Fi-only version with 16 gigabytes of memory.
Apple also introduced a 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop with a Retina display sporting four times the resolution of the older model.
The new model, which follows a 15-inch MacBook Pro with a Retina display introduced in June, goes on sale Tuesday for $1,699.
The old MacBook Pro will still be sold, starting at $1,199.
The new model dispenses with an optical disc drive and a traditional hard drive. Instead, it uses solid-state flash memory. This makes it 20 percent thinner and at 3.75 pounds, nearly a pound lighter than the previous model.
Apple also eliminated the optical drive from its new iMac desktop computer, helping slim the edges down to 5 millimeters, one-fifth the thickness of the old model. That makes the edges thinner than most stand-alone computer monitors. It bulges in middle of the back, however.
An iMac model with a 21.5-inch screen will start shipping in November for $1,299 and up. A 27-inch version will start at $1,799.

A Finnish Tradition: Baby Gifts for All Moms - Blogs | Babble
All Finnish mothers receive a box of these baby essentials.
I remember when I had Harlan I was so caught up on what essential baby items I needed. I knew that I wouldn?t have much time to get out of the house and I wanted to have everything that would get me and my baby through those first few weeks together. Thankfully I had family nearby that threw me a wonderful baby shower giving me all of the essentials (and more) that I needed.
With Avery I was very lucky to have many of those essentials stored away and ready for her arrival. We didn?t have to buy much at all for her and she is happily wearing many of her sister?s hand me downs that are still in great shape.
Although I know how fortunate I am, I know that there are many not as fortunate and that are doing everything they can to provide the essentials for their little one.?I recently discovered ?something amazing that the government in Finland does for all new mothers in their country. When I read about the program, I was blown away at their generosity and passion for women and children.
All expectant mothers living in Finland receive a package of baby essentials from the government. The package including clothes, bedding, and other child care items. The program started back in 1937 and was originally reserved only for low-income mothers. The grant was introduced to try to combat the low birth rate and high infant mortality of the time. In 1949 the grant became accessible to all mothers in Finland. First time mothers now have the option of receiving the maternity package or a cash benefit. According the the Kela website, nearly all mothers choose the maternity package.
As I was looking through the contents of the package, they listed the box as a special gift as well. Now most of us would think of a box as just a box. But the Finnish government has really put a lot of thought into this program because the box can also double as a ?crib when you bring your baby home. Pretty incredible, right?
It?s inspiring to see what this country is doing to promote motherhood. It would be pretty incredible if more picked up on their generosity and did the same.
What do you think of these maternity packages?

Agriculture investment to be showcased at Bahrain International ...
The show, organized by the National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD), aims to highlight the many business opportunities that exist in agriculture, in order to help bring this important sector, once one of Bahrain's most vital, back to the forefront. Bahrain's agriculture sector currently contributes less than 1% to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a meager figure which serves to highlight just how much room for growth there is as the Kingdom moves towards agricultural self-sufficiency. These current circumstances, combined with rising food prices and increasingly scarce natural resources, while hard on the pockets of consumers, present great opportunities for investors.
"We have seen a number of new entrants into the market recently and we believe that this is just the start," said Shaikha Maram bint Isa Al Khalifa, General Coordinator of BIGS. "In fact, the under-investment this sector has witnessed in recent years means that there are many highly lucrative areas of investment which are just sitting there, waiting for the right projects and investors. The current business environment, combined with available developmental initiatives like Tamkeen, make this a unique time in Bahrain's history for investors to enter this market," she said.
"Investment in this sector also has a secondary benefit which is, arguably, just as important - that of ensuring food security. We would like to see Bahrain eventually be agriculturally self-sufficient," Shaikha Maram said.
BIGS will take place from 27th February to 2nd March, 2013 at the Bahrain International Convention and Exhibition Centre. It will be held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and with the support of the King's Wife Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka Bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, who is President of NIAD. Thousands of visitors attend BIGS every year, including VIP's, architects, consultants, developers, and other industry professionals, as well as hobbyists and retail consumers.
"The show has been growing steadily over the years. Last year we had 75 exhibitors occupying a total exhibiting area of 6,600 square meters. This year we expect more than 20,000 people to come," continued Shaikha Maram. "Over the years we've had exhibitors from the US, France, Spain, Italy, the UK, Germany, Turkey, Egypt, Sudan, Syria, Iran, Thailand, and Japan in addition to all the GCC countries. Last year, through the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), we had participants from Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Tunisia as well."
UNIDO is supporting the initiative again this year, as is Tamkeen.
As in 2012, Exhibition Hall 2 will be dedicated to landscaping and garden design while Hall 1 will showcase a variety of goods and services relating to gardening, and landscaping. An awards ceremony will be held at the closing of the event, which will honor exhibitors for the quality of their displays, with the winners selected by a panel of experts.
Among the many goods and services on display will be aquariums, sunshades, canopies, blinds, barbeque equipment, bird cages, playground equipment, pottery, conservatories, drainage systems, fertilizers, lighting, greenhouses, insect guards, irrigation systems, landscaping equipment, landscaping, architectural and design services, pumps, pipes, seeds, seedlings, plants pools, and fountains.

Stanford Ovshinsky, inventor of the NiMH battery, passes away at 89
On Wednesday night, Stanford Ovshinsky, inventor of the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery, passed away at the age of 89 due to complications from cancer. The Akron, Ohio native may not be a household name, but there's a good chance that many of your electronics have been powered by his work, as NiMH batteries are used in everything from mice to hybrid cars. A self-taught inventor who didn't attend college, Ovshinsky held hundreds of patents, received a number of honorary degrees and is even the namesake of a branch of electronics dubbed Ovonics. Flat-panel displays, solar cells and even phase change memory are just a handful of other technologies that his work helped to develop. Next time you pick up a modern gadget, just remember that Ovshinsky is partly responsible for its existence.

Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel marry in Italy
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood couple Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have married in southern Italy, People magazine said on Friday.
"It's great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so special to be surrounded by our family and friends," the couple told the U.S. celebrity magazine in an exclusive statement.
People said it would carry full details of the wedding, including exclusive photos, in next week's edition.
"Sexy Back" singer and actor Timberlake, 31, and "Total Recall" actress Biel, 30, have been dating on and off since 2007. They announced their engagement at the beginning of 2012, and carefully shielded the details of their nuptials from the public.
The pair have been in southern Italy for much of the week, partying with friends and wedding guests on a beach before exchanging vows. It was not immediately clear on which day the ceremony took place.
Timberlake has previously had high-profile relationships with pop singer Britney Spears and actress Cameron Diaz.
Tennessee native Timberlake, who rose to fame in the boy band N'Sync, forged a successful solo music career before moving into films. He played Napster founder, Sean Parker, in the Oscar-nominated Facebook film, "The Social Network" and more recently starred alongside Amy Adams and Clint Eastwood in "Trouble With The Curve."
Biel, who was born in Minnesota, started her career on U.S. television in the long-running family drama "7th Heaven." She broke into movies with a starring role in the 2003 remake of horror flick "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and has since been seen in "The A-Team" and "New Year's Eve."

U.S. District Judge Otis D. Wright ruled that in 1992, when DC Comics agreed to take care of Shuster?s debts after his then-recent death and pay his sister Jean $25,000 annually for the remainder of her life, the Shuster family lost the right to renegotiate copyright.
?The 1992 agreement, which represented the Shuster heirs' opportunity to renegotiate the prior grants of Joe Shuster's copyrights, superseded and replaced all prior grants of the Superman copyrights,? Wright wrote in his decision.
The lawyer for the Shusters, Marc Toberoff, said in a statement that ?we respectfully disagree with [the order?s] factual and legal conclusions. It is surprising given that the judge appeared to emphatically agree with our position at the summary judgment hearing.?
Shuster and his co-artist Jerry Siegel signed over rights to Superman to DC Comics? Jack Liebowitz and Harry Donenfeld for $130 in the 1930s, with Superman appearing in a comic book for the first time in 1938. A judge ruled that the Siegel family had rights to the character in a 2008 case, but Warner Bros. is still able to use Superman while paying the family (Warner Bros. is appealing that ruling). However, Wright said that the case with the Shusters is different because they entered into the 1992 agreement.
Warner Bros. is releasing a new ?Superman? film, titled ?Man of Steel,? in 2013, starring ?The Tudors? star Henry Cavill as the Caped Crusader and ?The Muppets? actress Amy Adams as Lois Lane.
It is predicted the Shuster family will appeal Wright?s ruling.

Shawn Johnson: Nobody's safe on 'DWTS'
Adam Taylor / ABC
Shawn Johnson (with "Dancing" partner Derek Hough) says emotions can run high during rehearsals.
By Michael Maloney, TODAY contributor
Each week, Olympian and season eight "Dancing With the Stars" champ Shawn Johnson will be sharing her experiences on "All-Stars" with The Clicker! Look for Q&As, exclusive photos and more from the gold medalist throughout the season as she competes to win her second mirror ball trophy, this time alongside pro Derek Hough.
You can follow us on Twitter@TODAY_Clicker?to get all the latest updates on Shawn's quest for ballroom glory. Shawn is also on Twitter?@ShawnJohnson.
The Clicker: You took a higher plunge off the stairs at the end of your dance than you did in rehearsal.
Shawn: I did. It was the adrenaline. It wasn?t really more dangerous. Where we were originally was pretty high. I just went a little higher.
The Clicker: Is Derek open to your ideas when it comes to pushing the envelope?
Shawn: Yes, definitely. Derek is extremely respectful. He asks for different ideas and opinions. I?ll give them. He loved the different ideas that I brought this week.
The Clicker: When they saved you for the last dance of the night did you think the judges thought it would make for a great show stopper?
Shawn: It kind of is a known thing that they like to save a decent one for last.
The Clicker: ?Decent?? You got 26.5, a solid third place. You?re being modest!
Shawn: (Beat) I?m a modest person. When I found out we were going last I became very excited. Even in competition being last is the best place to be in. You end with a bang. The crowd?s really into it. We didn?t care what they judges felt (about our breaking the rules.) We did it for the crowd. People loved it and they were on their feet. That meant the world to us.
The Clicker: Judges Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli were on their feet! But (host) Tom Bergeron joked that Len Goodman would have, too, but he gets tired if he does that.
Shawn: I love Tom. He?s almost been like the "dad" around here. I thought that when I was here the first time. He?s so quick-witted.
The Clicker: You?re going to pick dances for your competitors for next week?s dances. Will you choose ones to challenge them or so they won?t succeed?
Shawn: I don?t know exactly how it?s going to be done. We?re not out to (sabotage). People may look at me and think, "Oh, she?s the cute, bubbly one. So we?ll give her a serious dance because we know that she?ll struggle with that more." But I actually don?t think that?s being cutthroat. It?s just being strategic and a good competitor.
The Clicker: How did you do on, say, your Argentine Tango when you competed the first time?
Shawn: (Smiles) It was my first perfect ?30!?
The Clicker: Bristol (Palin) said in her package that she thinks that Mark (Ballas, her pro partner) would prefer to have you or Sabrina Ryan instead of her. Do you have any thoughts on that?
Shawn: People get heated in practice. Emotions run high. Everybody has fights. I think Bristol is voicing an opinion and sticking up for herself. She was the creative director this week and she took over. I was proud of her for that.
The Clicker: You?re in third place. How do you feel about going into tonight?s double elimination?
Shawn: Nobody is safe with the double elimination. I?m going to be nervous. Anyone can go. If I do, then going out on a high note with (Monday?s) performance is the way to go!

Light might prompt graphene devices on demand
ScienceDaily (Oct. 10, 2012) ? Rice University researchers are doping graphene with light in a way that could lead to the more efficient design and manufacture of electronics, as well as novel security and cryptography devices.
Manufacturers chemically dope silicon to adjust its semiconducting properties. But the breakthrough reported in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano details a novel concept: plasmon-induced doping of graphene, the ultrastrong, highly conductive, single-atom-thick form of carbon.
That could facilitate the instant creation of circuitry -- optically induced electronics -- on graphene patterned with plasmonic antennas that can manipulate light and inject electrons into the material to affect its conductivity.
The research incorporates both theoretical and experimental work to show the potential for making simple, graphene-based diodes and transistors on demand. The work was done by Rice scientists Naomi Halas, Stanley C. Moore Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, a professor of biomedical engineering, chemistry, physics and astronomy and director of the Laboratory for Nanophotonics; and Peter Nordlander, professor of physics and astronomy and of electrical and computer engineering; physicist Frank Koppens of the Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain; lead author Zheyu Fang, a postdoctoral researcher at Rice; and their colleagues.
"One of the major justifications for graphene research has always been about the electronics," Nordlander said. "People who know silicon understand that electronics are only possible because it can be p- and n-doped (positive and negative), and we're learning how this can be done on graphene.
"The doping of graphene is a key parameter in the development of graphene electronics," he said. "You can't buy graphene-based electronic devices now, but there's no question that manufacturers are putting a lot of effort into it because of its potential high speed."
Researchers have investigated many strategies for doping graphene, including attaching organic or metallic molecules to its hexagonal lattice. Making it selectively -- and reversibly -- amenable to doping would be like having a graphene blackboard upon which circuitry can be written and erased at will, depending on the colors, angles or polarization of the light hitting it.
The ability to attach plasmonic nanoantennas to graphene affords just such a possibility. Halas and Nordlander have considerable expertise in the manipulation of the quasiparticles known as plasmons, which can be prompted to oscillate on the surface of a metal. In earlier work, they succeeded in depositing plasmonic nanoparticles that act as photodetectors on graphene.
These metal particles don't so much reflect light as redirect its energy; the plasmons that flow in waves across the surface when excited emit light or can create "hot electrons" at particular, controllable wavelengths. Adjacent plasmonic particles can interact with each other in ways that are also tunable.
That effect can easily be seen in graphs of the material's Fano resonance, where the plasmonic antennas called nonamers, each a little more than 300 nanometers across, clearly scatter light from a laser source except at the specific wavelength to which the antennas are tuned. For the Rice experiment, those nonamers -- eight nanoscale gold discs arrayed around one larger disc -- were deposited onto a sheet of graphene through electron-beam lithography. The nonamers were tuned to scatter light between 500 and 1,250 nanometers, but with destructive interference at about 825 nanometers.
At the point of destructive interference, most of the incident light energy is converted into hot electrons that transfer directly to the graphene sheet and change portions of the sheet from a conductor to an n-doped semiconductor.
Arrays of antennas can be affected in various ways and allow phantom circuits to materialize under the influence of light. "Quantum dot and plasmonic nanoparticle antennas can be tuned to respond to pretty much any color in the visible spectrum," Nordlander said. "We can even tune them to different polarization states, or the shape of a wavefront.
"That's the magic of plasmonics," he said. "We can tune the plasmon resonance any way we want. In this case, we decided to do it at 825 nanometers because that is in the middle of the spectral range of our available light sources. We wanted to know that we could send light at different colors and see no effect, and at that particular color see a big effect."
Nordlander said he foresees a day when, instead of using a key, people might wave a flashlight in a particular pattern to open a door by inducing the circuitry of a lock on demand. "Opening a lock becomes a direct event because we are sending the right lights toward the substrate and creating the integrated circuits. It will only answer to my call," he said.
Rice co-authors of the paper are graduate students Yumin Wang and Andrea Schlather, research scientist Zheng Liu, and Pulickel Ajayan, the Benjamin M. and Mary Greenwood Anderson Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and of chemistry.
The research was supported by the Robert A. Welch Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the Department of Defense National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellows program and Fundacio Cellex Barcelona.

Drawing a line, with carbon nanotubes: New low-cost, durable carbon nanotube sensors can be etched with mechanical pencils
ScienceDaily (Oct. 9, 2012) ? Carbon nanotubes offer a powerful new way to detect harmful gases in the environment. However, the methods typically used to build carbon nanotube sensors are hazardous and not suited for large-scale production.
A new fabrication method created by MIT chemists -- as simple as drawing a line on a sheet of paper -- may overcome that obstacle. MIT postdoc Katherine Mirica has designed a new type of pencil lead in which graphite is replaced with a compressed powder of carbon nanotubes. The lead, which can be used with a regular mechanical pencil, can inscribe sensors on any paper surface.
The sensor, described in the journal Angewandte Chemie, detects minute amounts of ammonia gas, an industrial hazard. Timothy Swager, the John D. MacArthur Professor of Chemistry and leader of the research team, says the sensors could be adapted to detect nearly any type of gas.
"The beauty of this is we can start doing all sorts of chemically specific functionalized materials," Swager says. "We think we can make sensors for almost anything that's volatile."
Other authors of the paper are graduate student Jonathan Weis and postdocs Jan Schnorr and Birgit Esser.
Pencil it in
Carbon nanotubes are sheets of carbon atoms rolled into cylinders that allow electrons to flow without hindrance. Such materials have been shown to be effective sensors for many gases, which bind to the nanotubes and impede electron flow. However, creating these sensors requires dissolving nanotubes in a solvent such as dichlorobenzene, using a process that can be hazardous and unreliable.
Swager and Mirica set out to create a solvent-free fabrication method based on paper. Inspired by pencils on her desk, Mirica had the idea to compress carbon nanotubes into a graphite-like material that could substitute for pencil lead.
To create sensors using their pencil, the researchers draw a line of carbon nanotubes on a sheet of paper imprinted with small electrodes made of gold. They then apply an electrical current and measure the current as it flows through the carbon nanotube strip, which acts as a resistor. If the current is altered, it means gas has bound to the carbon nanotubes.
The researchers tested their device on several different types of paper, and found that the best response came with sensors drawn on smoother papers. They also found that the sensors give consistent results even when the marks aren't uniform.
Two major advantages of the technique are that it is inexpensive and the "pencil lead" is extremely stable, Swager says. "You can't imagine a more stable formulation. The molecules are immobilized," he says.
The new sensor could prove useful for a variety of applications, says Zhenan Bao, an associate professor of chemical engineering at Stanford University. "I can already think of many ways this technique can be extended to build carbon nanotube devices," says Bao, who was not part of the research team. "Compared to other typical techniques, such as spin coating, dip coating or inkjet printing, I am impressed with the good reproducibility of sensing response they were able to get."
Sensors for any gas
In this study, the researchers focused on pure carbon nanotubes, but they are now working on tailoring the sensors to detect a wide range of gases. Selectivity can be altered by adding metal atoms to the nanotube walls, or by wrapping polymers or other materials around the tubes.
One gas the researchers are particularly interested in is ethylene, which would be useful for monitoring the ripeness of fruit as it is shipped and stored. The team is also pursuing sensors for sulfur compounds, which might prove helpful for detecting natural gas leaks.
The research was funded by the Army Research Office through MIT's Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies and a National Institutes of Health fellowship to Mirica.

Top 5 Things You Need Before Stepping In A Gym - Hive Health Media
If you have never stepped one foot in the gym before, knowing just what you need is hard to determine. This is because there is so much marketing surrounding the health and fitness industry, telling you that you must buy a range of products. This article intends to help gym beginners from being persuaded into buying a ton of? unnecessary products that they think that they need. Read on to find the top 5 things you need before stepping foot in a gym.
Comfortable Shoes
The type of shoes you wear in the gym are very important, especially if you are intending to do lots of cardiovascular exercise. When doing cardiovascular activities in the gym if your shoes aren?t comfortable you are running the risk of getting blisters all over your feet.? Another reason that comfortable shoes are important are that if your shoes aren?t comfortable you will only be able to spend a short period of time doing cardio, which may hinder your fitness efforts.
A Music Player
Music players are a must for any beginner to the gym. The reason for this is that doing exercise without music can get boring very quickly unless you are with a friend. Music players are also great because if you create a motivational playlist you will be more likely to perform better in the gym, may it be spending a little longer in the gym or putting more effort in. Music players may also be a good shout as sometimes the music that gyms play isn?t to everyone?s taste.
A Notepad
A notepad doesn?t sound like an item that should be taken to a gym. However using a notepad to jot down workout plans and what you do in each workout is a good way of making sure that you stay on track and achieve the goals that you set. If you see that you are making progress it can be extremely motivational.
Protein Powder
Protein powder is essential for all gym users whether their goal is building muscle, losing weight or just keeping fit. This is because all types of exercise tears muscle fibres a little bit, which will then need repairing. Having a protein shake straight after a workout means that you will supply your muscles with the nutrients they need to repair. Protein powders aid the recovery process in turn reducing the risk of overtraining. Shaker bottles also serve as great water bottles, so you can make sure that you keep hydrated throughout your entire workout.
Gym Gloves
If you have never been to a gym before your hands are likely to be soft and will be extremely susceptible to calluses. This applies especially if you are planning on weight training. Wearing gloves will help to protect your hands, they are available at online and in most sports stores.
These are the 5 items that every beginner to a gym needs. As you learn more about training and keeping fit you may need to start thinking about a few other necessities.

NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) ? The three victims who were pulled from a car hours after it plunged off a pier and landed on its roof in Newport Harbor were identified Saturday as a Rhode Island woman and two women from Europe, police said.
Part of the Hyundai Accent was sticking out of about 4 feet of water when it was discovered around 6:30 a.m. Friday at the Newport Shipyard, a privately owned marina near several of the tourist city's largest hotels and vacation condo complexes, Newport police Capt. Fred Gonsalves said. A fuel deliveryman saw the car and alerted authorities, Gonsalves said.
The driver apparently missed a right turn, police Lt. William Fitzgerald said. A dense fog advisory was in effect in Newport that morning.
He identified the women as Jennifer Way of Saunderstown, R.I.; Louise Owen of the United Kingdom and Femmetje Staring of the Netherlands, all 39.
Fitzgerald said he did not immediately have information on the hometowns of the British and Dutch victims.
The car went into the water near an area called the Travelift pit, the place in the marina where boats are lifted in and out of the water. Among the services the shipyard provides are dockage for luxury yachts and sailboats, as well as services for their owners, such as showers and workout facilities.
Fitzgerald said the car had been in the water for at least several hours. Newport Fire Department Deputy Chief Frank Young said firefighters wearing wetsuits and goggles discovered the women inside the car in the shallow water.
The shipyard is open 24 hours, and a security guard is posted at the entrance at all times.
A spokeswoman for the shipyard referred all questions to police. Fitzgerald said there was no evidence of foul play and the investigation was continuing.

Yes, exactly.
A mechanical DC ammeter is an averaging meter, and the average of a sine wave is zero.
At 50Hz the inertia of its needle does not allow it to move.Go back to school Jbignes5 !!!
I am so sick of your illogic and loose mind.
?No you must forget what your school has taught you. You mean to tell me that an analogue meter is an averaging meter? So if there is a diode in there then whats the average of all positive pulses? Duh.. The one that needs to get back to the basics is you.. 3 posts and you are sick of my illogical observations? 
Please...
?"DC Amp meter
A? amp meter is a simple amp meter. Direct current is measured through a resistor or shunt placed in line with the circuit. The voltage is measured across the shunt.
? AC Amp Meter
An AC amp meter is used in two ways. One AC amp meter uses a system similar to a DC amp meter. The only difference is that an AC amp meter uses a bridge diode instead of a regular shunt as a resistor to measure current. The bridge diode changes negative into positive current to facilitate calibration and measurement. This is called the direct AC amp meter. The other type of AC amp meter works by emitting an electromagnetic field. A coil around the wire will pick up the field and run it through a resistor or shunt and measure the voltage of the electric current. The voltage drives a needle to help read the measurements of the current. This is called an indirect amp meter. Some AC amp meters are moving iron type amp meters. The magnetic field is attracted by a piece of metal mounted at one end of a needle. This type of moving iron amp meter can work also with DC."
?Plus: if you actually read my post you will find that I said that 300k cycles is probably to fast for the analogue DC meter. But then again you don't pay attention. Reading is a virtue, Understanding is priceless.
?Second Plus: if you can get a real current to flow through a capacitor then you are a marvel to behold.
?I would have to look again at the video and see what that am meter uses as a shunt. If it is a diode which I believe it is then it would rectify half of the signal. The reason they use diodes is to make sure the needle doesn't swing in the other direction damaging the needle. But most meters use resistors so it remains to be seen. Again I have to reiterate that I will be using the correct meter unlike my example video.
?If that is illogical then YOU need to go back to school.
?"DC Amp meter
A? amp meter is a simple amp meter. Direct current is measured through a resistor or shunt placed in line with the circuit. The voltage is measured across the shunt.
? AC Amp Meter
An AC amp meter is used in two ways. One AC amp meter uses a system similar to a DC amp meter.

The magnetic field is attracted by a piece of metal mounted at one end of a needle. This type of moving iron amp meter can work also with DC."
?Lets look at this again. The diode bridge does not transform the negative to the positive. It reroutes the positive to only one side of the channels or wires. AC works with two wires. When one is positive then the other is negative. The diode bridge just switches the positive to one wire constantly So In fact the output would be rippled DC. Put a smoothing cap in there and then you have filtered DC.
?So even this teaching paragraph is wrong at best. There is no way the diode could magically change positive into negative current. It just redirects the flows via diodes into a organized DC pulse wave.
?Hey maybe that is what is being used to trigger the transistors.
