News about Patents
- PatentScopenow includes the Canadian national collection from ~1920 forward. No PDFs yet, it appears, but full text (based on OCR) is available for some patents. A few pre-1970s patents have IPC codes, so keyword searching may be required for some types of searches. This gives researchers another option for searching Canadian patents from the early 20th century forward.
Other national collections to be added in the next few months include the Eurasian Patent Office, Germany, and UK.

Under the pure first-to-file system used by most countries, publication of an idea or invention prior to filing a patent application will prevent an inventor from obtaining a patent.

In an era when technology and new emerging technologies are driving forces in the design and re-engineering of new products, it is important to recognize how the patent literature informs business models and changes. In the area of technology transfer, and intellectual property, protecting one's intellectual contributions is critically important as the commercial potential for product development can be advanced very quicky. Legally, individuals and corporate entities must be careful about filing these forms of intellectual property and complying with the jurisdiction in which they reside or are registered.
Simply stated, patents are defined as the right granted to anyone who invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof. A patent is, in effect, a limited property right that the government offers to inventors in exchange for their agreement to share the details of their inventions with the public. Like any other property right, it may be sold, licensed, mortgaged, assigned or transferred, given away, or simply abandoned. Patents give the right to decide who may use the patented invention, when permissions are granted for use and to sell the right to the invention to another party.
There are many different kinds of patents:
- Utility Patents - for new & useful process, machine, item manufactured or a composition of matter
- Design Patents - for new, original and ornamental design for an item to be produced or manufactured
- Plant Patents - for new & distinct variety of a plant
Inventors MUST disclose complete information about the process, design or plant and a patent is granted only if the application demonstrates:
- novelty
- non-obviousness
- utility
The rights conveyed by a patent vary country-by-country. National patent depositories make available patent registries and copies of all patents awarded by them. In the United States, under current patent law, for patents filed on or after June 8, 1995, the term of the patent is 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date. For patents filed prior to June 8, 1995, the term of patent is either 20 years from the earliest claimed filing date or 17 years from the issue date, whichever is longer. Additional information about patents is found or cited i the list of Reference Works under that tab.
Trademarks are defined as the distinctively recognized sign or indicator used by an individual, organization, corporation or other legal entity to identify that the products and/or services to consumers or the public with whichthe trademark appears originate from a unique source of origin and can be distinguished as such. Trademarks are identified by the symbols ™ and ®, Another form of intellectual property, a trademark is typically a name, word, phrase, symbol, design, logo, image or some combination of these forms.
This guide covers both US Patents and Trademarks and International. The "Finding Patents: Key Sites" tab will direct you to both lists of appropriate sources.

I got it because you reported my response to the moderator and got it erased. When you don't like something you read you tend to do that. So, each and everything you type that I find even mildly offensive I'm going to report it.

Mary Kate McDevitt's Mini Goals Chalkboards were first introduced to me a few months ago and I fell in love. Not only is the idea of accomplishing a few things a day easier to digest than a lengthy list, but it's also much more palatable when written down on something as lovely as one of her chalkboards. Do you see that beauty of a chalkboard sitting above? Mary Kate made it just for us and it could be all yours.
To Enter, Tell Me:
1. What are two things that you need to cross off your To Do list today?
2. Your email address, to be notified should you win (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, December 7th at 9am CST
Check out the full range of Mary Kate's Mini Goals Chalkboards on her flickr site, right here!
Today I need to go grocery shopping and clean the house all before getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow. YIKES!!!

To Do Today:
1. Drop bridesmaid dress off at the cleaners to be steamed/ironed or whatever it is they do to make dresses perfectly flat in all the right places and rouged in all of the others.

2. Buy groceries specifically for making delicious lunches 4 days out of 5. It's part of my man and my new financial plan – starting to save for a new apartment!

College students will soon get the chance to learn all about zombies, which is great news for those who feel brain-dead after a long weekend of partying.
According to Entertainment Weekly, AMC and UC Irvine have partnered to offer a college course called "Society, Science, Survival: Lessons from the AMC's The Walking Dead."
"Fans of the show know that The Walking Dead is about more than zombies; it's about survival, leadership and adapting to situations that are perilous and uncertain," AMC's vice president of promotions said in a press release.
The free course will also be available to students outside the UC Irvine campus. Heck, you don't even need to be a student to sign up.
Enrollment is open now, and the eight-week online course begins Oct. 14, the day after the series' season four premiere.
Coincidence? Probably not.

RICHMOND, Va (WTVR) – More than one week after a woman was hit and killed riding her bike on River Road, a grand jury will meet Monday to consider charges against the man who – police sources said – admitted to driving the SUV that hit her.
Eli Webb, 30, told police he was driving the SUV that struck and killed Lanie Kruszewski, 24, the night of July 29. Police sources told CBS 6 Webb said he did not stop after hitting Kruszewski because he thought he had hit a deer, not a person.
CBS 6 Legal Analyst Todd Stone called presenting the case to the grand jury one of the first steps in the judicial process. he said jurors would ultimately decide if there was enough evidence to charge Webb with a hit-and-run or a manslaughter charge.
"The prosecutor can not prove that he [Webb] knew he hit a deer versus a person, it really doesn't matter," said Stone. "The burden is so low, if there's enough evidence that he was the driver of the car and that he left the scene, a grand jury would very likely indict the case and that would be the accusations and that's the beginning of the criminal justice process."
Stone said if a grand jury were to indict Webb, he would then go before a judge to have his court date set. During that hearing, Webb would have to request either a bench (judge) trial or a jury trial.

Oily flesh aplenty in Paul Rousteau's shots of public sunbathers
If you're starting to think that you've had about enough of winter and wouldn't it be nice if you could step outside wearing less than 13 layers of clothing on top of your thermal onesie, then hold your horses for just a second. You see you're forgetting that despite its sunny weather and bright, cloudless mornings, the summer has a few pitfalls of its own, namely the puckered, loose flesh of brazen sunbathers strewn casually about public spaces. You forgot about the sunbathers didn't you? Allow Paul Rousteau to refresh your memory with his candid Parr-esque photographs of sparsely-clothed Swiss. Still pining for summer? Didn't think so.

Customer Reviews of SanDisk 2GB Sansa Clip - Red
A great little walking partener !!!!7/10/2009
This little MP3 packs a punch, but also allows you to hear traffic at the same time. It fits right on your pants or pocket but does not weigh you down. Its easy to use and if you have not got my drift........I love it.
The "Clip" is small, easy to operate, an1/3/2009
I bought the "Clip" for my wife and she really likes it. The "Clip" is really small and does not have an SD micro expansion slot but with 2GB of storage, you can store a large amount of music or a book. That appears to be the only limitation compared to my Sansa 250. The "Clip" does not have a proprietary cord for for downloading and charging which is a plus compared to my 250. Buy.com demonstrated Excellent Customer Service in working to resolve an issue when FedEx delivery lost the package on the delivery truck. Buy.com promptly sent another unit to address the issue. Ultimately, FedEx found and delivered the package and Buy.com made the return process of the replacement unit very easy.
Wonderful Christmas Present12/30/2008
I really like my SanDisk Sansa Clip 2 GB MP3 player. Its great to also be able to listen to my favorite radio stations as well. I like that it categorized my music, it makes it easier to pick exactly what I want to hear. It is super easy to use. I Love it!
Good product at great price12/29/2008
Had slight trouble the first time connecting to the computer. The two devices did not recognize each other. But beyond that, it has been working as expected. It's very simple and compact, for a great price. We haven't had it that long, but so far so good.
Works great. arrived fast and great value12/28/2008
Overall very pleased with the time of delivery, functionality and price. Gift for the wife for working out at the gym and she loves it.
Wish I could buy one for all my friends.12/23/2008
This little player is awesome! My husband and I have always used Creative Muvo's in the past but I hated scrolling endlessly to find a song, etc. The clip is very handy and sturdy. If you don't already have a player with similar features, buy one now!
Very tiny and easy to use12/22/2008
I bought this player for my wife. Considering she is not very good at reading or understanding any electronics, I think that she really likes the player since it is so easy to use. She enjoys the sound quality and interface.
Great value,easy to use, good quality!!!12/15/2008
I am very happy with my Sansa clip. I have never owned any kind of ipod or mp3 player because I wasn't sure if I would use often enough to justify the price. At $29.99 and free shipping, the Clip was perfect for me and I love it. Simple to use and I am totally happy with the Clip and accessories it came with. As a beginner in using this technology and downloading music, etc., I can highly recommend it to others. Great gift for teenager or college student!!!!!
Great MP-3 for all12/8/2008
Great features and great performance. Bookmarking works well on podcasts and audio books, so it is easy to switch to music or FM and then resume your book where you left off. Excellent value, outstanding sound quality, and easy to use. I bought one, we bought one for my wife, and have now bought a third Sansa Clip for a friend. Buy one, you won't regret it!
Excellent product for the price12/1/2008
Bought this for running/working out and couldn't be happier. The player is very small and light and the clip is quite sturdy. Sound quality is good enough for listening to tunes while working out, and the controls are easy to use, even while in motion. The only thing that could be improved is the battery life, which is so-so. Overall a great product, especially for the $30 I paid for it.
Thid player rocks!12/1/2008
It's small, light and I've had mine for two years now without a single problem. The only downside is the 2GB capacity which means you need to choose the contents carefully. I put a clear silicone case on mine and attached a lanyard and was good to go. Great little MP3 player!
Best $30 I've ever spent10/12/2008
If you're looking for a really portable, reliable, good sounding mp3 player, then look no further. I've owned 7 other mp3 players, all of which cost more than this one, and the Clip definitely gives the most bang for the buck. The sound quality is really good when used with after-market headphones, the player has a good display, and a handy clip for hanging on my shirt. I bought this mostly for listening to audiobooks and podcasts, once I found out that the latest firmware included automatic bookmarking for both, and it works wonderfully. But you music lovers will be pleased too, it sounds great for music and now even Ogg Vorbis is supported ( I tested it). The included earbuds lose too much sound as they don't fit snug in my ears, but earbuds with players are rarely very good. Great player. The Clip in its various sizes and colors goes on sale frequently, so if you can be patient, you should get as good a buy as I did in August right here. An 8gb version is supposed to be in the works for those who need more than 1,2 or 4gb versions already in stores. Great birthday and Christmas gift!
Nice product for the price10/6/2008
For the price and compact size this is a hard unit to beat. I use it at the gym and cannot even tell it is attached to my body.
I don't think I can give this little beauty enough praise. I bought the 2GB version on sale at buy.com for $29.99 and was so thrilled that the next week when the 4GB version was available on sale for $49.99 I got one of those as well. You cannot beat the price performance. The sound quality is excellent (and I consider myself quite an audiophile). The feature set is everything you could ask for. AND to top it off, it is MAC friendly!!!!! I am REALLY well pleased with both purchases.
Cute and Easy9/14/2008
Others may spend a lot for Ipods, but this little guy has great sound, clips on easily and is a great red color
So light and small9/11/2008
Great little MP3 player. Had to upgrade to the new firmware as I got a problem with the database updating. All I had to do was copy a .bin file to the root of the clip and it updated. Uses a standard mini-USB cable to charge and copy files. I can even use my Blackberry or Motorola charger with it. For $30 it was a no-brainer.
Good value for the money9/9/2008
I'm not very gadget savvy, but it was relatively easy to learn to use. I'm still discovering new things I can do with it.
This Is A Fun Product!9/9/2008
For the money, you can't go wrong. One of the neatest features is the voice recording where I can record songs off the built in FM band or dictate memo's to myself or record a speech from TV or a live speaker. And the incredibly small size for all the features of this dynamic product is beyond imagination as it fits into the palm of my hand and becomes invisible when I close my hand over it. Buy it...you'll like it!
Great MP3 player, easy to use9/9/2008
Had been wanting an mp3 player for a while, but didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on one. The Sansa Clip came up on Buy.com as a daily special, and after reading the good reviews I decided to purchase. Very pleased with the player, love the fact it has a built in FM tuner. Great value!
Great product, great price9/9/2008
I bought this little gem when it was on sale for 39.00 and have been very happy with it. It is easy to use and doesn't take up a lot of room. I don't know why I spent all that money on an Ipod when this is all I needed. The best thing is you get a radio, recorder and your dowloaded music in a nice little package. The only problem I had was when I turned it on it was in Arabic or some other middle eastern language. I had to consult the online manual to get it back to English. I would buy another if it was back on sale.
Great sound and radio reception9/8/2008
Great radio reception sound quality is really good for the size of the unit.
Love It!9/8/2008
Great MP3 player for walking
Amazing sound-great design9/8/2008
CNET liked it and so did their readers! The sound coming out of this little unit is really amazing and loud. It is small and yet the electronic display is more than adequate & informative. For $30 you get to load 450+ songs and it has 14 to 15 hours per charge. Very easy to load songs by copying files directly. I already have a 30GB Ipod and an 8GB Nano, but I just couldn't resist this little guy for $30 + tax and it certainly hasn't disappointed. Just hope I don't lose it!!
Sansa Clip9/8/2008
Excellent sounding eay to use Mp3 player. Price was great and shipping was fast!
Great Little Player!9/8/2008
Originally bought the Sansa E250 for my wife to wear while she was working out, but the arm band is huge and aggravating. So I bought this little guy for her and she loves it! Clips on to her sports top and doesn't weigh anything! The sound is crisp and clear and the color is snazzy! I'd recommend it to anyone.
My first MP3 player and I love it!9/8/2008
I researched MP3 players for a few months, so when I saw the deal that BUY.COM had, I couldn't resist. It's much smaller than I thought (about 1 1/2 by 2 inches), but the sound is great. The screen is big enough and bright enough for me to easily read. It's directions are intuitive enough that I really didn't have to read through the manual (although I found a sleep function that turns it off so I don't waste battery life if listening in bed - doesn't bother my husband that way). Recharges from USB port on my computer. The battery picture continually flashes when plugged in, so I'm not sure how long it takes to charge, but it didn't seem to be more than an hour.
Great portable, with only a couple of issues9/8/2008
I got this device because I've been wanting a "Plays For Sure" compatible player for some time. I specifically chose the Clip because of recent updates to the firmware regarding its treatment of audiobooks (specifically NetLibrary and Overdrive audiobooks). It is also compatible with SpiralFrog free music service, and, of course, Buy.com's downloadable music (WMA) files.

 While I am easily satisfied by the Clip's performance, there have been a couple of issues. Since I use it on both a Mac and Windows, it has to flip back and forth between MSC (disk mode) and MTP (Windows Media Player Device) mode, and somehow it lost almost 1GB of memory (easily rectified by reformatting the device, but still a pain).

 The only other real issue is that (for NetLibrary and Overdrive files) you must reset the genre to "Audiobook", and often add track numbers to the file meta-tags.

 Beyond these two issues the player works great, and sounds good. I like the much smaller size, and although the interface takes a little getting used to (coming from an iPod background), everything is easy to get to, and works well with the screen (which is bright and easy to see). It would be nice to have expandable memory, but I knew when I bought it that was a limitation, and 2GB is generally enough for carrying around your current favorites.

 I can safely and easily recommend this player to anyone looking for a simple, portable player.
Great Little Player for the Money9/8/2008
I bought this player on a lark because Buy.com was running a special on it. Once I received it, I had no trouble loading music on it and using it for the first week. I then had an issue where it was telling me my "subscriptions" for songs were expired and it would not play any music. To make a long story short, something became corrupted and I needed to update the firmware to the latest rev as well as reformat the player memory and reload the music. Not the biggest deal, but somewhat of a pain in the butt. Since then the player has worked flawlessly. The music sounds great. The FM radio is quite good. And, the battery life is quite long. No complaints. If you get it, make sure to update the firmware from Sandisk's site immediately and I bet you won't experience my problem.
Not good for working out9/8/2008
First the good news - the device is extremely easy to use. Copying over files and charging via the provided USB cable is a snap, there is no need to install any additional software. Now the bad news - it's not meant for people who sweat. I used mine once for a 50min run on a humid day and it stopped working before I finished. My guess is that the humidity or possibly my sweat damaged the device. I have to say I was not very pleased with the sound quality as well - my iPod Nano sounded much better using the same set of earphones. Mine failed after the 14day return window with Buy.com so I am out of luck.
Great Value9/8/2008
I sent it on to friend for a gift and I haven't heard back from them at this time. We already had to Sansa MP3 players and they all were great units.
Nice unit, GREAT value!9/8/2008
I purchased 3 of these at BestBuy last year on black Friday at the rediculous price of $35.00 each. I was looking at the Apple Shuffle (which at the time only came in the 1Gb size and was about $89.) it was a no brainer, name brand, FM tuner (shuffle still doesn't have one) twice the capacity and voice recorder for less than half the price. Also, I DO NOT LIKE how Apple converts mp3 files into their own proprietary file type. This player couldn't be any easier to use and add music. When I recently saw these on sale at buy.com for $29. I grabbed a couple more to give as gifts. BTW, my own unit died (I think a drop of sweat hit it at the gym). I sent it back to Sandisk and they sent me a brand new (not refurbished) player. Excellent company to do business with. Lastly, I gave it 4 stars for performance because the FM tuner isd a little weak (although I've only rarely used it). Hope that helps!
Great Product, Great Price9/8/2008
I've only had this device for a couple of weeks. But it has survived being dropped and kicked around at the gym quite well. The sound is more than adequate! It records well and holds plenty of music for me to rotate my workouts. My only complaint is that I bought the Red 2GB model and then 10 days later, the silver 4GB went on sale for even less money. Ah well, you live & learn.
Good mp3 player9/6/2008
I have read very good reviews about this mp3 player before buying it. After using it for about 15 days I am happy with the purchase. Pros: looks and feels excellent, lots of good features and design. sound quality is good (may I need a better earphone to get the best sound). The display is good and bright. Cons: buttons click a little too loud for my comfort. creating playlist is a hassle without windows media player 11. I could not find a way to play the music by folders, they were all sorted and played by author or album name. The device has frozen on a few occasions because it could not play a certain mp3 file. The battery charge indicator is sometimes confusing. I made a mistake of not charging the battery to full before using for first time (nothing mentioned in the quick guide). So I dont get the 15 hours battery life, but it is pretty decent. Still I would say this is one of the best mp3 players available in the market currently.
It is perfect9/6/2008
It is small, versatile and excellent in any way. It never failed my expectations to its functionalities. I am surprised that it works so well. Since I am also an IPod owner, I have to say it works better than IPod due to its additional functionalities: FM radio and voice recorder.
Great Product9/6/2008
Great product great price long battery life.
Great Product for the price9/6/2008
This MP3 player is exactly what I was looking for and well worth the price I paid. I would do it again.
Handy clip-on! Why didn't anyone else think of thi9/6/2008
This is by far the handiest little mp3 player on the market. The clip-on is so simple, so handy, lightweight and small. No need to buy any add-on cases, armbands or other carrying devices. I travel a lot and this is so much easier than lugging around an iPod or other bulkier player. The 2 Gb size is plenty big enough for multiple audio books plus some music. The only downside are the menus are a little difficult to navigate. I had a hard time figuring out how to delete a folder. There is an annoying marketing ploy with Rhapsody and Audible - they make it appear you have to us Rhapsody and the "audiobook" folder is ONLY for books purchased from the Audible service. Just disregard that. Overall, I am extremely happy with this little device.
Love it9/6/2008
This little player is awesome! It is very user friendly. Uploading was easy. Sound is wonderful. The FM tuner function is a great bonus as I want't looking for that when shopping. The battery lasts longer than I expected and it is so light and convenient. Perfect for that morning run! Now I use it not just for the run but all the time. I couldn't be happier with it! Great little player and a great value!
iPod like without iPod price!9/6/2008
I've owned five Sansa models and they were great but "functional" looking. This cute little model has the same capacity for holding songs and battery life. Five stars
Great Product8/31/2008
The clip is an amazing product overall. It's small and light as feather. Gives great audio quality and works well with my z2300 and car audio system. The display is a very handy feature in addition to FM and recording. I had problems getting my pc to recognize it. It works very well with WMP 10. But, If you dont have WMP10 hold the center button while plugging it in. It will show up as 'F' drive on your computer. The other problem I experienced with the player was that the battery would self-discharge in 2 days even if left unused. I had to upgrade to latest firmware, completely discharge the battery once and then had to charge it using power adapter. (The battery charge doesnt work well with the front USB ports). I had to go through lot of searching to get these problems fixed. It would of great help if these instructions/troubleshooting steps are introduced in the user manual. In all, very happy with the product. Great player, good price.
Can't beat this for the price!8/23/2008
This is a great little lightweight player and the radio is a welcome asset. Clip it to you hat, shirt, or pants pocket and go. By converting your music files to WMA format 96 kbps you it will hold about 650-700 average length songs. I currently have 341 of my all time favorites and it isn't even half full. Kudos to Sandisk for using the standard mini USB plug on this player. The only con I can find is that it doesn't have a user replaceable battery as many Sandisk players do, but for the price it doesn't matter.
One is Good, Two is Better7/16/2008
Great player, so, since I loose stuff I purchased two. One for in the auto while the better half is in the store and one on the night stand. MP3 books on CD fit on the clip with no problem. Has the best sound of any of the small players I've had. Long story short... Great Value All Around!
Compact, lightweight and easy to use6/3/2008
Excellent product for the price. Easy to transfer music, easy to navigate screen and nice sound. My only reservation is the lack of a built in music volume controller to automatically adjust the music volume as the music selection changes. So lightweight, can fall on the floor and no damage. Clips to the belt with the built in clip.
Great little player5/4/2008
I bought the Sansa Clip as a gift for my wife. She loves it. It's easy to use and has great sound. The fm radio function has great reception and inputting music files is a snap. Awesome value! Will be purchasing one for myself soon.
Great Device2/24/2008
Small, inexpensive, it just works, charges with usb, good capacity (I have 7+ hours of audiobooks and 200+ songs on mine), fast syncing with windows, and reasonable battery life. The voice recording capability is good and the fm tuner is superb. The audio quality is also good and the included headphones tend to tangle in my pocket less than other models. The display is sharp and workds well. The menus are also pretty good. I'm very pleased with my purchase.
Grat Piece2/19/2008
This is indeed a very nice MP3 player. Loading songs was very easy and the sound is great. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a portable, easy to use player. I've just charged the battery once -- will see how long it holds up.
Great features and value, yet powerful2/9/2008
I gave this as a gift to my wife. She had been looking at an Ipod, however when I compared features the Sandisk clip has it all. 2gb memory,FM tuner, and voice record were perfect for singing practice and recreational workout use. The internal rechargable battery is long lasting and convenient. I plugged in the USB cable provided and my computer recognized it and charged. The menu is big enough and bright enough, easy to use. Sound quality and volume are very good.
Sansa Clip Rocks!1/13/2008
The Sansa Clip rocks! This is one of the greatest all-time gadgets in electronics! The display is great... the FM reception is great! Haven't tried the earbuds -- instead using J-Buds purchased at Amazon.com (another great item and value). About the only (minor) complaint I have is a design flaw that places the Up Volume button too close to the headset plug making it a little difficult to adjust the volume. But I can definitely live with that.

Brandon Beliveau is one of five former Milton High School students accused of hazing.
For a place that's normally quiet, the Milton High School Library got loud Thursday night. "It's frustrating because what happened to those kids, even if it isn't in the policy should have been taken care of," said one community member.
This week's FOX 44/ABC 22 High School Athlete of the Week Paige Johnson already has one state title this year and she's shooting for another at Milton High School.
Renovations at the Milton High School are on hold after voters shot down a 5.9 million dollar measure Tuesday night.

One on a snowmobile, one on a streetbike:
Snowmobile story: I was 15 or so...had a Scorpion Stinger 440.....fast machine, BITD. Was blowing across plowed farmland, which had a pristine surface, from the 18+ inches of snow we had received during the previous few days. I am running 40ish, when all of a sudden, the sled starts to violently slow...As I am going over the bars and windshield, in a slow motion handstand, I see wire and fence posts starting to pop up from just under the snow on either side of me....I had run the skis right under the top stand of a barbed wire fence that was buried. I went over, landed on my back, and the slde went over, landing on my legs, with the track still spinning. LUCKILY, it wasn't an Artic Cat....those things came from the factory with a studded belt. Dug myself out from under it, and rode home.
Bike: While stationed at Ft. RIley, we decided to go to a little bar in GrandView for a few beers and some pool. I lived off post, so didn' bother wearing a helmet (you had to have one to go on post). While at the bar, a buddy ran out of money, and wanted me to ride back to the barracks with him. I borrowed a helmet for the ride. Anyhoo....we leave post (on Grant Avenue), and I pull off on the gravel shoulder to take the helmet off. As I get back up to speed (still on the gravel) I start to angle towards the pavement. Front tire made it fine, but he back tire got hung up on the edge of the pavement, and it pulled the bike right out from under me...
Now, this is mid 80s.....I am wearin a sleeveless shirt, and my best pair of parachute pants.....I landed right on my left shoulder and left wrist.....as I am sliding down the road, I can see the car that I had apparently started to pull out in front of sliding straight at me..I knew sure as hell I was gonna get mowed over.
Had a VERY small raspberry on my left shoulder...that pavement was polished so smooth that I didn't even get any scratches that actually bled. Tore that borowed helmet up tho, as the bike was on top of it, as both slid down the road.

I managed to get all screwed up in a rut and fell right in front of another rider. Just so happen to have it on video. This was during a hare scramble, hence nobody stopping to laugh err check on us.
Surprisingly, I wasn't any more sore from that than I normally am after riding. Just a tiny hint of a bruise.
I low-sided my drz in the traffic circle in the middle of town also. There were about a dozen city workers doing something in the middle of it that got to watch me eat shit. Just some scrapes on the bike and my gear though.

I have a great one for this.
I was on the dunes with my 450SX, on a downhill between trees. I had slowed at the top of the hill to figure out where to go down so I don't harpoon a tree, once I saw where the exit was I creeped just over the lip of the dune with not much power to coast down. What I couldn't see was that a truck had gotten stuck at the very top of the dune and left a massive hole. I went right into this hole, where the front tire decided it didn't need to move anymore. This started the endo perfectly, I went over the bars, with bike doing a complete flip. Where my body landed was the perfect spot, because my head got sucked up into the rear mudflap by the paddle tire, it was at this point I knew it was going to be bad. The bike stalled with my helmet jammed between the tire and the rear mudflap, and continued to tumble down the hill with my head stuck there. I did about 3 tumbles to the bottom of the hill with my head stuck the whole time, and my body getting whipped around. There was a crowd who thought they had just watched someone die at the bottom of the hill. When I got my head unjammed I stood up to a crowd of about 10 with faces about like this . I have a new helmet and mudflap now, but I kept the old ones as a reminder.

I lived in London for a few years (as all good Australians do- otherwise they wouldn't have anyone to tend the bars over there) and whist I was there decided to get my bike license as it was the most economical way to get around.
After getting my license (in early Feb!) I picked up my first ever bike... a '98 CBR600F. The perfect learner bike! Needless to say I rode it very conservatively, and was never tempted to test out the performance of the thing.
On one particularly conservative ride down in Cornwall, running out of time to check in to a hostel, I made a safe and conservative pass on a little hatchback... at around 90 mph. However, this car had been obscuring a roundabout, and 90 was not quite the right speed for this particular obstacle.
I threw out the anchors and hauled the thing down to a reasonable pace (or so I thought) but still not slow enough to go round. So I thought I'd go across it. No probs- when I reached the curb I pulled on the 'bars thinking I'd hop up on to it like I would on a pushbike. Needless to say, this had very little impact on the front end of a 200 kg supersport!
Over the roundabout we went, upright and missing all the on roundabout signage, and then popped off the other side. Just as I was about to complete the thought 'well that worked out ok', the front end started pulsating wildly so I pulled up. The front tyre was flat and the rim so warped I could fit my finger between it and the bead! The back rim was similar, although the tyre had stayed up. Whoops.
I parked the bike up, walked two miles to the nearest town, Helston, checked in to a B&B, got drunk with the locals and organised a lift back to London with a lesbian and an ex-lesbian!
I ended up selling the bike to the local bike shop for 600 quid and coming back to Aus shortly after... damn I miss that bike.
Oh yeah, I don't class this as an off... because I didn't fall off!

I found Anne Hull's section, Revisiting - Over and Over Again to be the most informative section in this Editing section of the book. I found what she said about reporting to be very true, that if you haven't done enough reporting, your story will seem like a bad comb-over. I thought that was an amusing way to look at reporting and fitting all of your sources into a story. Right now with my piece I'm trying to figure out how to piece together all of my sources and realize that I definitely need to do more reporting. I don't want my story to seem like a balding man's head.
I loved the detail Mark Bowden used within the Tales of the Tyrant piece. The way he describes how each new character looks really builds them as a person and puts the reader in the story. He uses this description to hint at their personality too, which I found interesting because it's showing the reader, not telling.
A question I have refers to the Telling True Stories book. When trying to find the right angle for your story and you aren't sure what sources are considered good or bad, where do you draw creativity from in order to have a successful story?

If you're seeking to live past the age of 100, you're chances are much, much greater if you just happen to be a woman.
For every 100 women in the United States who make it to 100, there are only 20.7 men who have done the same, the Census Bureau said in a Monday report, citing data from the 2010 census.
In all, there are 53,364 American centenarians, and that overall figure has increased nearly 6 percent since the 2000 census. However, only around 62.5 percent of them are either 100 or 101 years old, while around 94 percent in total are between the ages of 100 and 104.
"Due to sex differences in mortality over the lifespan, the proportion of females in the population increases with age. This is especially true in the oldest ages, here the percentage female increases sharply," the census report said.
Bessie Cooper, the oldest woman in the world according to Guinness World Records, lived in a Georgia nursing home until she died at the age of 116 last week.
Now, the oldest person in the world is Dina Manfredini, a 115-year-old woman who currently lives in Des Moines, Iowa. The second oldest is Japan's Jiroemon Kimura, who is also 115 years old, according to Guinness.
In 2010, those who were 110 or older represented only 0.6 percent of the entire population of centenarians, the data shows.
Furthermore, the report states that "centenarians are less diverse" than the rest of the American population, as the majority, or 82.5 percent, are white.
Centenarians compromise a very small portion of the overall U.S. population, representing less than 2 per 10,000 people, the agency said.
The men are more likely, or 43.5 percent, to be living with others in a household, while 35.2 percent of women live in a nursing home, the data shows.
By geographic location, the majority (17,444) live in the Southeast United States, followed by the Midwest (13,112), Northeast (12,244), and the West (10,564), but California has the largest number of centenarians by state. The vast majority, or 85.7 percent, live in urban areas.

Late winner lifts Sounders FC U-23 to 4-3 win over Timbers U-23s
VANCOUVER, Wash. – Midfielder Fernando Monge scored the game-winning goal in the 88th minute and contributed an assist to lead Seattle Sounders FC U-23 to a 4-3 victory over the Portland Timbers U-23s before a spirited crowd of 1,631 at Kiggins Bowl on Friday night.
Down 2-1 at halftime, the Timbers U-23s rallied back on two occasions in the second half on goals by forward Erik Hurtado and midfielder Cam Vickers to pull even at 3-3 with their Cascadia rivals in the 72nd minute. A late corner kick led to a scramble in front of the Timbers U-23s goal and Monge was able to knock in the game-winner in the 88th minute as Seattle handed Portland its first home loss of the season.
The two sides combined for three goals in the first 30 minutes of the contest, with Timbers U-23s forward Mark Sherrod finding the opening strike just 10 minutes in. Sounders FC U-23s then scored twice in a nine-minute span, using an own goal and a tally from midfielder Sean Morris to take a 2-1 lead at the break.
Sounders FC U-23s took a 3-2 lead in the 67th minute, shortly after Hurtado had pulled the Timbers U-23s even just 10 minutes into the second half, as a foul by Portland in the box led to a penalty kick goal from Aodhan Quinn.
Sherrod scored his team-best seventh goal of the season, Hurtado netted a goal in a third straight match and midfielder Roberto Farfan logged his first assist of the season for the Timbers U-23s (6-3-1, 19pts). With the loss, the team falls to fourth place in the Premier Development League's Northwest Division.
Monge recorded his fifth goal and second assist of the season, Quinn notched his fourth goal and Morris scored his third to lead Sounders FC U-23 (6-2-3, 21pts) to a fourth win in five games. Seattle moves to within two points of the division-leading Kitsap Pumas.
Sherrod opened the scoring early, finding the back of the net in the 10th minute off a cross in from the right side by Farfan. In on the near post, Sherrod one-timed a shot from close distance past Sounders FC U-23 goalkeeper Doug Herrick.
Seattle responded with back-to-back goals to pull ahead 2-1, starting with an own goal off a play initiated by forward Jamael Cox from the left side of the box in the 21st minute. In the 30th minute, a long throw-in sprung Monge for a breakaway, who then set up Morris for a chip shot past Portland goalkeeper Spencer Richey to help Sounders FC U-23s grab the lead.
The Timbers U-23s tied the score at 2-2 in the 55th minute, as Hurtado benefitted from a miscue by Herrick on a long ball played into the box. Herrick miss-timed his run off his line and the ball slipped by. Hurtado charged in and tapped a rolling shot into the back of an open net.
Quinn's penalty-kick goal helped Sounders FC U-23s regain the lead at 3-2 seven minutes after the hour mark, but the Timbers U-23s were able fight back once again to tie the score in the 72nd minute. Vickers crushed a shot from the top right corner of the penalty area that curled just past the reach of Herrick and landed in the top far corner of the goal for his third strike of the season.
A late corner kick set up the game-winning goal by Monge in the closing minutes of the match. The ball swung in from the left side and bounced around the box, with the Timbers U-23s having and chance to clear it from danger. Monge was able to get a touch on the ball to direct it toward goal, and a Timbers U-23s player was unable to clear it off the line as the ball crossed over for the Seattle win.
The Timbers U-23s face a second game in four days as they visit North Sound SeaWolves FC on Monday, June 25, at Edmonds Woodway High School in Edmonds, Wash.; kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. (Pacific). The match against North Sound opens a stretch of three straight on the road for Portland.
Notes: The loss was the Timbers U-23s' first defeat at home in league play this season. The team had won its first five consecutive home matches entering Friday's contest … The four goals conceded by the Portland defense to Sounders FC U-23 was the most allowed in a single game in 2012; the team had allowed only three goals at home entering the match … Sounders FC U-23 won both matches of the 2012 season series against the Timbers U-23s … Timbers U-23s forward Erik Hurtado has scored in three consecutive games from June 9-22 … Portland has scored three or more goals in five of their 10 regular-season games … The Timbers U-23s' own goal was the team's first of the season … Friday marked the time Timbers U-23s' team history in which they had scored three goals and suffered a loss … Friday's match was the first in a Cascadia weekend as the first teams for both Portland and Seattle meet Sunday in an Major League Soccer match at JELD-WEN Field on ESPN.

SANTA ROSA BEACH – Anne Hall, a Miramar Beach resident and artist said, "After meeting Michelle and learning more about Forgotten Children's Ministries, especially the girl's home, I knew I had to do something to support the ministry."
Santa Rosa Beach resident Michelle Corely and her husband, Pat, are the coordinators for FCM's girl's home in Honduras.
"Seeing how FCM cares for these abandoned girls by not only rescuing them off the streets and providing for their basic needs, but also educating them and showing them the love of Christ, I wanted to do something to bless the ministry and brighten up someone's wall at the same time," said Hall.
She has produced this limited collection of uniquely hand-crafted art prints. Each print is hand stamped and one of a kind with the girls' names written in the waves. All of the proceeds earned will benefit FCM.
FCM's mission is to rescue the forgotten and abandoned street children of Honduras, and encountering these children on the streets of the cities, to provide them with food, shelter, clothing and medical attention in the short term. Furthermore, the mission is to nurture, disciple, educate and provide vocational training for these street children in the long term.
For more information on the prints, contact FCM's main office at (423) 892-4979.
Hall creates hand-crafted stamped artwork that she applies to print work, home goods and décor. To view more of Hall's work, visit the website annehalldesigns.com.

MARS fever has hit the meteorite trade. Last week a company placed banner advertisements in The New York Times offering to sell slivers of the Red Planet for hundreds of times the price of gold.
In total, 0.5 kilograms of the Zagami meteorite are up for grabs. This 18-kilogram block is thought to have been blasted from the surface of Mars by a comet or asteroid some 2.5 million years ago. It fell to Earth in Nigeria in 1962.
The rock is being marketed by The Sky is Falling, a New York-based company launched by Darryl Pitt, curator of the Macovich Collection of Meteorites. For $98, buyers will receive 0.02 grams of the meteorite, enclosed in a vial that is encased in a cube of Plexiglas.
Pieces of Martian meteorites have been traded quietly for years, at more reasonable prices. A trawl of Web sites by New Scientist revealed fragments ...

I measure the White/blue with no brake pressure and the reading was .64 volts. With some brake pressure the reading was 1.25 volts. And with a lot of pressure the reading was 2.5 volts.
This is great information!
To my knowledge, unfortunately NOBODY yet has posted a PICTURE of the actual testing procedure.
Nor, to my knowledge, has anyone actually 'needed' to replace the brake pressure sensor when they had the trifecta.
So, whatever YOU learn, please let US know as you're on ground rarely traveled!

text: Adnaan MohamedAuckland – Flying halfway across the world while sitting for close to 20 hours on a plane is not for the faint of heart.But that is exactly what the Springbok team were faced with when they travelled to the land of the Long White Cloud to front up to the arch enemy, the mighty All Blacks, on home soil for two successive weeks. And having gone though the whole experience myself, I have newfound respect for professional rugby players who constantly have to spend long arduous hours on planes to get to their destinations.Having travelled quite a bit myself, I still haven't encountered a journey as long and gruelling as the one I experienced this time around. The two hour flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg was pleasant enough. The highlight for me was feeling the 2010 Soccer World Cup vibe and interacting with hundreds of foreign soccer enthusiasts, watching Germany demolish Argentina at OR Tambo airport. It also helped to kill five hours of my time while waiting to catch my connecting flight to Sydney.The flight to Sydney however, is a killer. Besides watching movies there is nothing else to do but try to get a little bit of shut eye. The designs of the seats in economy class are not exactly ideal. While sitting in an upright position, you are squeezed in tightly like sardines in a can. This is not conducive for someone needing some serious shut eye.Landing in Sydney is a relief simply because it means you at least get a chance to stretch your legs. But then there is still the traumatic experience of having to clear the tedious Australian customs in time for the last leg of the three hour journey to Auckland. By the end of it all you are well and truly knackered. From a players point of view the last thing on your mind is having to front up to the all Black Haka in a few days time.But like all professional teams, the Boks have a plan to counter this effect. Springbok team doctor, Craig Roberts walked around with a plate handing out medication to all the players and members of the management team just after their arrival at around 20:30 on Monday in the foyer of the Crowne Plaza. Butch James and Francois Hougaard arrived at the hotel with only their hand luggage after the rest of their belongings did not arrive with the others at the airport. It was not only the players and management who were feeling the after effects of the long journey but the journalists as well. The doc explained to me that one tablet is to help to recover from jet lag, while the other one was a strong sleeping tablet.I had not slept since my arrival on Sunday night and was already starting to feel like a zombie. The Doc advised me to take both tablets at around midnight. So, while writing this diary entry, I am already starting to feel drowsy. With a bit of luck I wake will wake up refreshed and in time up to join the Boks at their practice session at Onewa Park on Tuesday. Hopefully they would also have shrugged off that dreaded jet lag so that they can be well rested come Saturday.

Debt ceiling debate shifts to Congress, bargain in play
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Friday Congress has a "unique opportunity to do something big" and stabilize the U.S. economy for decades by cutting deficits even as it raises the national debt limit ahead of a critical Aug. 2 deadline. But, he declared, "We're running out of time."
Obama said he was ready to make tough decisions — such as on Medicare costs — and challenged Republicans to do the same. He attempted to turn the Republicans' opposition to any tax increases back against them, warning starkly that failure to raise the debt ceiling would mean "effectively a tax increase for everybody" if the government defaults, sending up interest rates.
Still, Obama said that "it's hard to do a big package" in deadlocked Washington, acknowledging Republicans are opposed to any new tax revenue as part of a deficit-cutting deal.
"If they show me a serious plan I'm ready to move," he said.
The president spoke at the White House Friday after five days straight of meetings with congressional leaders failed to yield compromise, and amid increasingly urgent warnings from credit agencies and the financial sector about the risks of failing to raise the government's borrowing limit.
Administration officials and private economists say that if the U.S. fails to raise its borrowing limit and begins to stop paying its bills as a result, the fragile U.S. economy could be cast into a crisis that would reverberate around the globe. Democratic and Republican congressional leaders agree on the need to avert that outcome, but that hasn't been enough to get Republicans to agree to the tax hikes on corporations and the wealthy sought by Obama — or to convince Obama and Democrats to sign onto the steep entitlement cuts without new revenue that Republicans favor.
The president spoke at his third news conference in two weeks on an issue that is increasingly consuming Washington and his presidency.
The president said he was ready to make tough decisions such as restructuring Medicare so that very wealthy recipients would have to pay slightly more. He said he had stressed to Republicans that anything they looked at should not affect current beneficiaries, and he said providers such as drug companies could be targeted for cuts.
On Capitol Hill, meanwhile, Democrats and Republicans in the House emerged from closed-door meetings to reiterate their hardened stances. Republicans announced plans to call a vote next week on a balanced budget constitutional amendment that would force the government to balance its books.
Obama dismissed the idea, saying, "We don't need a constitutional amendment to do that. What we need to do is do our jobs."

Aww. So adorable, right? Not to kill the cuteness factor, but have you ever wondered whether dogs can really fall head-over-paws in love like that?
Doggy love is a hard topic to find solid research on, maybe because it's hard to qualify the emotion separate from simple affection. A lot of scientists seem to just flat out not believe in it.
Anthropologist Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Social Lives of Dogs, believes that dogs can fall in love. In her book, she tells the story of Sundog and Bean, two dogs that met each other by chance and only had the pleasure of each other's company for a brief period of time. Bean's owner was a builder and they were off as soon as the job was finished.
Sundog would still faithfully wait to hear the sound of the vehicle Bean's owner drove, but to no avail. He stopped eating and slept more often. Even bringing in another female dog didn't interest him. As for Bean, her owner believed she was yearning for Sundog, even to the extent that she would run away, looking for him.

The John Cage Centenary
In the 100th birthday year of the American avant-garde composer John Cage, many cultural institutions are celebrating his deeply influential life's work. But celebrating Cage is a lot more elusive than celebrating, say, Debussy. Composing with open-ended concepts that often didn't even include notes and rests, Cage threw so much responsibility onto the performers and audiences that it's hard to know what to celebrate. The Philadelphia Inquirer's David Patrick Stearns discovers the hidden burdens in Cage's brand of anarchy.
John Cage: Song Books will be performed at the Fidget Space at 1714 Mascher Street in Philadelphia on Friday, October 5th at 8 pm.
Cage: Beyond Silence, a major festival celebrating the music of John Cage, takes place at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and venues across the city from October 26, 2012 to January 20, 2013.

really? i remember ^w and ^u from my ultrix days back in post highschool,
pre college days, before linux. don't remember ^y. guess emacs has roots
as well as vim.
> BTW, I thought you were using the vi-mode for readline?
no, there's ONE reason why i don't. to get commandline history, i have to
hit escape up-arrow, instead of just up-arrow.
i use command history so much, that the escape really throws me for a loop.
that "up-arrow for history" is too important. until i find a way of
changing that behavior, i don't use vi mode.
it would be neat if the shell interpreted something along the lines of
"double clicking", like hitting space twice in rapid succession would bring
up the last command executed, or perhaps "date" or "make".

The dog is on break? You mean you aren't going to tell us the missing dog is making the video?
MONARCH BUTTERFLY!! I LOVE those guys… BUTT WHERE is the dog????
Good thing for the butterfly that the dog is on break. Last time I was admiring a pretty butterfly, a small red dog appeared out of nowhere and leapt up in the air trying to catch it. Luckily it did get away, but I was a bit surprised by Meadow's unexpected attack!
Well, that movie kind of made me throw up a little. Kind of a Blair Witch video style, don't you think?
