The online magazine Ozy covers people, places and trends on the horizon. Co-founder Carlos Watson joins All Things Considered regularly to share the site's latest discoveries.
This week, he tells NPR's Arun Rath about a YouTube sensation in Urugauy, a six-second comedian and the young woman who gained a following with her explicit declaration of love for science.
From NPR West, it's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Arun Rath. It's time now for the New and the Next.
RATH: Carlos Watson is the co-founder of the online magazine Ozy. Each week, he joins us to talk about what's new and what's next. Welcome back, Carlos.
CARLOS WATSON: Hey, Arun. Always good to be with you.
RATH: So this week, you have a piece about a rising star in Uruguay, a man with a YouTube channel that - it's kind of reshaping the definition of what we consider news.
WATSON: Augustin Ferrando kind of got depressed with a lot of the news he saw, and thought that little moments in life were just as interesting. So he's created an incredibly popular YouTube channel north of a million hits, in a country that only has 3 million people. It's become quite the sensation down south. And who knows, it could spread north.
AUGUSTIN FERRANDO: (Foreign language spoken)
RATH: Tell us about the videos. They're about seven or eight minutes long. What kind of stuff is he featuring?
WATSON: I mean, literally everything. These videos may be about a soccer game that some kid had. It may be about some interesting drink that a grandmother had that night. It might have been what was not on television. He's saying: If I tell the little, individual stories of what you had for dinner, what happened at this schoolhouse, even though that may not seem like classic big news, that that's really the stuff of real life. And it's gone from YouTube to their mainstream television channels there. They actually play clips of it every week.
RATH: (Laughter) That's great. There's another Web-related story. This is about that service Vine. When it first hit the scene, I was wondering, how are six-second videos going to convey anything? But you pointed us to Will Sasso, who's made sort of an art out of this.
WILL SASSO: Yeah, look, it's a Honda Accord. More like Honda according to Ah-nuld. You should get out of the way!
WATSON: Yeah. So Will Sasso, who's been a comedian who's bounced around for years, has finally found his platform in Vine. What Will Sasso figured out is, you know, he can try and tell you stories - or he could do really funny impersonations.
SASSO: Come on. Go!
WATSON: The governator, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
SASSO: (Singing) Sweet Caroline...
WATSON: So he's done these great little episodes where he pretends to be Arnold driving.
SASSO: I guess all I have to do to get to my destination is turn right here.
GPS VOICE: Turn right on ...
SASSO: I know! That's what I just said!
WATSON: It's funny.
RATH: And finally, a rising star you look at this week. Elise Andrew runs a popular science blog. It has a name we can't really say on the radio, but she loves science - that much of it we can say.
WATSON: We can definitely say that. Twenty-four-year-old woman who is originally from Britain, was living in Canada at university; bored out of her mind - by her own telling - one day, and just suddenly posted a few science articles that she liked. And as you said, she put a very colorful headline: I blank love science.
And before she knew it, she had 1,000 likes; and fast-forward 18 months later or so, and she's got 7 million followers on her Facebook page, all of whom are consuming various science articles, science videos - what have you - curated from around the net. It's quite a tribute to the triumph of nerd-dom.
RATH: It's a cool story. And there's one disturbing part of it, though. She has this wonderful enthusiasm that she brings to the topic, but when it comes out that she is a woman...
WATSON: So people didn't know that a 24-year-old, young woman was the person behind this incredibly popular site. And when she reveals herself, she got a bunch of negative comments. But rather than shrink from it, she leaned into it, in the best sense, and started posting essentially kind of the worst quote of the day. I think she calls it "the crazy of the day." So I love that she turned that around, and that her popularity has only grown. And coming soon, you'll be able to enjoy her on Discovery. Discovery's got an online channel where they're going to be featuring Elise Andrew. So rather than shrink, she's growing.
RATH: It's great. Carlos Watson is the co-founder of the online magazine Ozy. You can find links to the pieces we've talked about at our website. Carlos, thanks again.
WATSON: Always my pleasure, Arun. I'll look forward to seeing you again next week.

Who doesn?t dream of being a world-famous DJ, at least once in his life? Create your own remixes and have total control over the sound of the music? In our range of DJ equipment you will find everything current and prospective DJs might need. It is however important to decide early on whether you want to work with digital or analogue mediums. You will therefore either join the MP3 hype or fall back on the traditional CDs or LPs.
For the former it is often inevitable to purchase a DJ controller and fitting computer software. This then gives you the advantage of having all of your tracks at hand and being able to edit and mix them in any way you want. The controller provides an easier handling of the software and gives you the feeling of being a real DJ.
Those who prefer using vinyl and CDs should invest in a mixer and two additional sound devices (turntable or CD player). Nowadays more and more DJs start using these mediums again, for their sound is perceived to be trendy.
Because the evolution of technology never stops, it is sometimes possible to connect a controller to CD players or turntables. Even though the sound isn?t quite up to par with the original set up, it offers a wider range of creative possibilities.
Grooveboxes and DJ effect devices broaden this spectrum even more.
If you haven?t found the right stage size or shape yet, no problem. It is possible to order custom-made stages which, of course, conform to all necessary Euronorms. Do you have any further questions? Then don?t hesitate to contact us, we?d be happy to assist you!

Hi All,
Edition 88 of 7Days of Chocolate Reviews ... you might think I've been doing this too long eh!? I have enjoyed hearing from you all about the reviews this week, both the Cadbury and Lindt posts sparked a good deal of debate and discussion is still going back and forth on various issues. You can take a look at these reviews here:
Cadbury Mascots - See HERE
'Bits n Bobs' Cakes, Muffins & Biscuits - See HERE
Lindt Excellence Dark Caramel - See HERE
Here in the UK we have had a bit of a summer renaissance which makes my SOTW today looked even more of a nonsense then it is already posting about Christmas chocolates in September :D What can I say!? Before anyone gets too worried the Halloween reviews will be starting in the next few days so don't get the impression that I've skipped one holiday altogether - patience kids :D
I feel the need to run a competition for some chocolate :D ... who wants a Ritter Sport Milk & Wheatpuffs (See HERE)??? Well get yourself on twitter, follow @Chocmission and then Re-tweet one of my reviews with the hashtag #competition. I will randomly pick a few lucky winners next week.
I hope that will keep you all out of mischief until next Monday :D Have great weekends.
SNACK OF THE WEEK ..... a new part of '7Days of Chocolate Reviews' which will feature any manner of snacking product I have been products munching on in the weekAero Christmas Tree
Kcal 146 Fat 8.3g Carbs 16.2g
You guys didn't do anything to discourage me off the Christmas reviews last week so I'm back with yet another for you all (at least we can say it's October now haha :D ) Indeed today we have the Aero Christmas Tree - Yep, yet another new Aero product to join the likes of the Aero Orange, Aero Biscuit, Aero Easter Sheep etc which have already been sent out our way from Nestle this year.
This 25.0g single Christmas Tree shaped mould came in a snazzy looking foil packet, and looked similarly cool in reality with it's bright green coloured aerated centre. Anyone who has had Aero Mint before will not feel out of place with what you get here - essentially a sweet milky outer chocolate with a lovely melt in mouth textured peppermint chocolate centre. As with every Aero product you have to able to appreciate the sweeter, more sugary type of chocolate to enjoy this one. If you are well versed with Aero Mint however you will likely get a the same deal in terms of pleasure, but just in a smaller, less substantial Christmas themed manner. I'm sure the majority of you would have known the score with this one before reading this review - I think it's always nice to be reassured though, check it out mint chocolate fans.

Color shown may differ from printed color due to differences in monitor settings

Fathead decal is a high quality print made of tough high-grade self-adhesive vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your design will look great, stay put and hold up.

The decal comes sandwiched between two sheets, a backing sheet that is applied to the sticky side of the decal and a transfer sheet that is applied to the visible side of the decal. By removing the backing sheet while keeping the transfer sheet in place, you can apply your decal to the wall exactly as it was intended to look, with all of the individual pieces in the exact position in which they were designed. Once the decal has been successfully positioned on the wall and has adhered completely, you can remove the transfer sheet to reveal the finished product. Because this decal design can include so many independent pieces, designed to create a specific pattern, they are ARE NOT MOVABLE OR REUSABLE. They are, however, REMOVABLE and will not do any damage to your wall if you decide to take one down.
Where Not To Stick It: Here are the big no-no's:
OK, we're not trying to scare you. Quite the contrary. We want you to love your Fathead Decal. And now you know some of the do's and don'ts. The biggest do of all? READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
Applying Fathead decals that require the rub on transfer application requires patience and a strict observance of the installation steps. Unlike our standard peel and stick wall decals, they are not movable or reusable so it's very important to follow the instructions and do it right the first time. Instructions are included with the product, but if you'd like a preview of how to install one, or if you need to print a copy, please click on one of the links below:

CenturyLink has made a bid to enhance its Savvis Cloud suite athrough the acquisition of Platform-as-a-Service provider AppFog, in what might be regarded as a validation of the Cloud Foundry technology stack upon which AppFog has created its offering.

AppFog's PaaS is "specifically tailored" to software application developers and offers public cloud capability via www.appfog.com.
AppFog will try to tell us that its reach has been extended (if the two firms can pull off a reasonable integration job) as it now adds its public cloud PaaS to the savvisdirect online channel — it also offers private, dedicated deployments to Savvis' enterprise clients.
"AppFog continues to see strong adoption in the developer community," said Jeff Von Deylen, president of CenturyLink's Savvis organization. "Combining AppFog with Savvis' Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud services and CenturyLink's global network will enable developers to securely and reliably operate and connect the applications they build and deploy."
"We are excited to introduce the AppFog developer community to CenturyLink's Savvis organization," said Lucas Carlson, whose role prior to the acquisition was chief executive officer at AppFog and who now serves as vice president, cloud evangelist, at Savvis. "Developers can expect to see enhancements to our PaaS capabilities, and we look forward to making the full suite of AppFog services available to existing and prospective CenturyLink and Savvis clients."

Instead of staying inside and playing video games or watching TV a group of young people from the Lake Region recently spent the day in the fresh air helping to prepare for the coming of spring and nesting time.
Instead of staying inside and playing video games or watching TV, a group of young people from the Lake Region recently spent the day in the fresh air helping to prepare for the coming of spring and nesting time.
On behalf of the group Tylor Carlson, president of the group, prepared the following report on their project:
On Sunday March 3 the Four Leaf Friends 4-H group went out to Sullys Hill to rehabilitate existing Wood Duck nesting boxes and hen houses used by mallards near the entrance of Sullys Hill. While there, old nesting boxes were checked to see if there were any successful nests from the previous year.
To determine if the nest was successful, they looked for intact membranes from the inner layer of the shell. From that point, they took the old nesting material out and put new material in. About four to five inches of woodchip material was added to the boxes and then each box was closed up.
In the boxes that were opened up, they found evidence of use from the wood duck and the hooded merganser, as well.
A male wood duck has a crested head with metallic green with purple and white markings. The throat is white, the bill is red at the base and the eyes are a bright orange-red. The female wood duck is rather plainly marked and is a grayish-brown duck with a white eye ring. Both have whitish-tipped flight feathers. The wood duck is native only to North America, but in North Dakota this bird breeds mainly along wooded streams and rivers from the Missouri River East to Minnesota. They feed along the banks of wooded streams, lakes and ponds where they find seeds and fruits of trees, shrubs and plants.
The characteristics of the male hooded merganser, in size is similar to the wood duck, and its weight is between 1¼ to 1½ pounds. The merganser is a black and white bird with ruff brown sides. It has a crested head that has a white patch surrounded with black.
The female is mostly brown. A white wing patch is represented in both female and male. This bird breeds along wooded lakes, streams and rivers over much of the United States and Southern Canada. The merganser is also an excellent diver, and with a hooked bill it makes it easier for them to catch fish, their most important food. It also feeds on other water insects and bugs. Unlike the wood duck, the hooded merganser is not known to nest until they are two years old. They both nest in tree cavities or nesting boxes and the insides are made out of pieces of wood, bark or other debris.
The wood duck box rehabilitating was a community service project that the members of 4 Leaf Friends 4 H group chose to focus on for this year. The group marked the boxes with a GPS for future reference location so they can go back to check on egg success in the boxes. A total of 15 wood duck boxes and two hen houses used for mallard nesting were rehabilitated and marked by seven 4H members assisted by five parents.
The 4 Leaf Friends enjoyed this project and look forward to seeing nesting success in the rehabilitated boxes.

Through images and video, this digital collection sheds light on the groundbreaking creation and dedicated running of the first public television station in the country. Hundreds of black and white photographs illustrate the work that went on both in front of the cameras and behind the scenes at KUHT-TV, while approximately 35 films provide a rich sample of the station's diverse offerings. In all, the collection contains 336 items.
Most of the photographs date from the station's early days in the 1950s, but later decades are also represented. The snapshots capture production staff, cameramen, set designers, and engineers, as well as on-air personalities and sets from Channel 8 News and other shows. Items of note include photos of the figures who were instrumental in getting KUHT up and running, such as University President Dr. Walter W. Kemmerer, faculty member and choral director Dr. John Schwarzwalder, and producer/director George Arms. The collection also includes images of celebrities appearing on PBS programs through the years: Mister Rogers, Julia Child, Phyllis Diller, Dustin Hoffman – and even Sesame Street's Big Bird.
The films in this collection explore a wide array of topics of both local and national interest, including the evolution of African-American music; the blowout of an offshore oil well in the Gulf of Mexico in 1979; the controversy surrounding the proposed Equal Rights Amendment in 1977; integration in two area school districts in the 1960s; and documentaries on boxer Jack Johnson and Tejano music legend Lydia Mendoza. Of particular note is a series of programs from the 1960s called "Education for Survival – Civil Defense," which covers Cold War-era subjects such as "Weapons in the Nuclear Age," "Propaganda and You," and "Radiation and Effects." Another highlight is a press conference held by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the White House in 1960. Available for viewing in their entirety, the broadcasts generally run about 30-60 minutes each.
Located on the University of Houston campus, KUHT-TV was America's first public television station when it debuted in 1953, and became one of the founding stations of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in 1969. Today, KUHT-TV/HoustonPBS continues to produce innovative programming while serving not only the students and faculty at UH, but the greater Houston community as a whole.
The original materials are available in UH Libraries' Special Collections in the KUHT Collection. For more KUHT videos visit the Audio/Video Repository.

Welcome to AutoAnything's Video Garage. Here you can watch as we interview industry experts at the SEMA show about their new products and applications. You can also view our review videos. We breakdown everything from air filters to truck racks, giving you an inside look at the benefits of each upgrade or accessory.
For over 30 years, K&N Air Filters have been the first choice in engine filtration. The K&N filter delivers virtually unrestricted air flow, letting your engine run stronger, cleaner and with greater fuel efficiency.
Take on heavy loads, climb steep grades or blow by the traffic with brute force—the AEM Brute Force Air Intake, that is.
AFe's cold air intake system delivers seat of your pants power gains and lets you choose performance and filter options. Depending on the performance needs of your engine, aFe replaces restrictive stock parts with custom-tuned components.
At the 2012 SEMA Show, we spoke with aFe's Director of Marketing, Jason Bruce, about their new products.
Whether you need it for towing, hauling or you just like having more explosive power than the rank and file, the Airaid Intake System is right on target.
And, at the 2012 SEMA Show, Airaid had a new cold air intake on display for the 2013 Scion FR-S.
When Airaid Filter Company's David Edelman spoke with AutoAnything's Elly Brown at the 2011 SEMA Show, they covered a lot of ground.
Literally whip those horses under your hood into galloping action with the new Airaid Cold Air Intake. Part number 353-210 is custom fit to three rides and all of their respective engine sizes.
Put a new twist on air intake and watch your power, torque and fuel economy spin to new heights of performance with the Airaid PowerAid Throttle Body Spacer.
Seth Green, ARB's Western Sales Manager, gave us an inside look at some of their new Jeep products at the 2012 SEMA Show.
Airflow is power! And, that's why Banks created the Ram-Air Intake System—to ram power-producing air right down your engine's throat
Your 2012 Jeep Wrangler does not back down from any challenges—on or off road. So, it makes sense to outfit your 4x4 with an air intake that stands up to the same tests.
Injen Cold Air Intake #PF8074P for the 1994-2002 Dodge Ram.
Your 2012 Honda Civic is everything you thought it would be: reliable and safe, yet stylish. And now, thanks to the new part numbers from Injen, your little compact car can speed on over to the performance side with a quick air intake install.
Injen's Edward Rossi made a special trip over to the AutoAnything booth at the 2011 SEMA Show to chat with our Elly Brown. While he was at the booth, the duo talked about Injen's history and what is in the works as 2012 approaches.
Injen is known as an industry leader in the aftermarket performance field.
Just imagine what 23 extra horses and 23.4 ft-lbs of extra torque would feel like beneath the peddles on your floorboards. Now, stop imagining, and make it a reality when you install the new Injen Cold Air Intake for your 2004-2012 Nissan Titan.
Unlock your engine's hidden power potential and replace that restrictive stock intake with Injen's advanced SP Series Cold Air Intake.
Right off the lot, the new 2011-2012 Mustang's 3.7L engine pumps out 350 horses and 280 ft-lbs of torque. Sure, it makes your stock pony a real contender; but just imagine what some bolt-on performance accessories could do!
Before K&N's latest intake designs become certified members of the legendary 57 Series FIPK line, they start life as a 63 Series AirCharger.
Silverado, Sierra and K&N are three household names with one thing in common: power. Whether you're driving a Chevy truck or a GMC SUV around town, dropping a K&N air intake into its engine bay packs a huge punch of horsepower and torque gains.
When it comes to your 2011-2012 Ford Fiesta, the title of Speed Racer doesn't really fit. Infuse the race-car power you crave into your Ford Fiesta with a new K&N intake.
There's no denying that the Ford Explorer is one of the best SUVs on the road today. Yet, despite this accolade, people still might have questioned its power—until now. K&N has added part number 77-2575KS to its ever-increasing lineup of products.
Skip the light rock and go straight for the Metal with K&N's 77 Series Metal Air Intake. Massive volumes of air rush through its custom aluminum pipe, putting more punch at your pedal and power to the pavement.
More passing power, more towing torque and white-knuckle acceleration! The K&N FIPK (Fuel Injection Performance Kit) shovels huge volumes of power-producing air right into your engine to produce maximum power across the entire RPM range.
With a stock 412 horsepower and 390 ft-lbs at your fingertips, the 2012 Mustang GT 5.0 packs a punch. In fact, your ride goes from 0-60 in just about 4.5 seconds.
Sound the warnings and head for higher ground! The K&N Typhoon Air Intake is here to add gale-force power to your sport compact.
Vincent Pistonetti of K&N started the 2011 AutoAnything SEMA interviews off right! He enthusiastically chatted with our very own Elly Brown at our SEMA booth about some exciting new products, K&N's history working with AutoAnything, and K&N's early beginnings.

Discover the new Volant Intakes 17636 & 17366 for the 2012 Jeep Wrangler that adds up to 18 HP and 40 ft-lbs torque.

No one understands performance better than industry leader Volant. Even after setting industry standards, they still continue to test and research better ways to give your engine more air.
At the 2012 SEMA Show, we met with Danny Moniz, the Vice President of Volant, to chat about the brand's history and its core products.
AutoAnything really cleaned up at that the 2011 SEMA show when Griot's Garage very own Steve Kovach stopped by the booth to discuss the latest and greatest from the car care perfectionists.

Ditch your unsightly, wobbly, rusty stock rotors, and step up to the Decela Rotors by Baer Brakes. Expertly engineered to replace your OE discs, these rotors are designed using the same cutting-edge braking technology found on thoroughbred racecars.
Out on the streets, the track or the back country roads, your Chevy Camaro is the sultan of speed. And, as you know, with great speed comes great responsibility.
There's more to total road domination than your speed at the racetrack—your high-performance Chevy Corvette also needs ultimate stopping power that your stock brakes just cannot live up to.
At the 2012 SEMA Show, we stopped at the Brembo booth to get a closer look at their new products.
Being able to stop your vehicle is… obviously, very important. So when you rotors are worn out you should install a set of Centric Premium Replacement Rotors, and hit the brakes without breaking your budget.
When Andy Freeman stopped by the AutoAnything booth during the 2011 SEMA Show, his infectious personality kept us all on our toes. His passion for the EBC brand shined throughout the entire interview, too, as Elly Brown asked him questions about the products, the history of EBC and their relationship with AutoAnything.
When you're tearin' up the streets in your high-powered auto, you need speedy brakes to avoid costly accidents. Arm your calipers with EBC Green Stuff Brake Pads for hair-trigger pedal response.
Heat is the mortal enemy of your brake system. Every time you tap the pedal, friction sends the temperature of your discs sky-high.
Staying in complete control of your high-octane ride is essential in this environment, and that's why you need EBC's Red Stuff Brake Pads.
Whether it's on the street or the track, squealing to a halt is not only embarrassing, it takes the fun out of high-performance driving. So, go for a set of EBC's super-quiet Ultimax Slotted Rotors.
Don't be fooled by their color—your EBC Yellow Stuff Brake Pads are anything but cowardly. They chomp down on your rotors with the highest rated friction of any EBC brake pad.
Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads carry the tradition of stopping strength you expect from Hawk, yet leave the extra dust, well, in the dust.
The HPS in Hawk HPS Brake Pads stands for high-performance street—top braking power for virtually any vehicle on the road.
Slam on the brakes and check out this informative interview from the 2011 SEMA Show in which AutoAnything's Elly Brown met with Edwin Mangune of Hawk Performance Group.
Leave it to Hawk Performance and their revolutionary LTS Brake Pads to put plenty of braking bite back into your big dog. These brake pads handle the heat generated by the your truck or SUV's big brakes.

In September 2011, the President signed the America Invents Act (AIA) into law. With this new law, phased in over the past year and with key provisions fully in effect by March 2013, come a number of changes affecting how small business owners and inventors can via patent protect their important life blood – their inventions. It has raised differing opinions as to whether or not it helps or hurts small businesses and solo inventors. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the resulting changes to the patent process are aimed to help small businesses by securing patent protection for inventions in a variety of ways, including establishing favorable legal provisions that speed the patent application process and enhance the quality review of patent applications. Overall, this is a good thing. However – depending on the circumstances – some opponents believe the law actually could hurt the small business sector – particularly in the case of inventors who are slow with paperwork and filing. One notable objector, the National Small Business Association, a leading national small business advocacy organization, opposed the law, saying it places legal uncertainty over patent rights and takes away key legal provisions that small businesses and start-ups have used for many years. Here's why: The new changes in the patent law eliminate the century-old "first-to-invent" system and replaces it with the "first-to-file" requirement, based on the current European model. The first inventor to file for a patent gets it. There is no longer a need to produce evidence that the inventor kept notes and careful documents of his or her "Eureka" moment, and then prove it in court. This is designed to cut down on litigation – a bonus for many companies. However, small businesses that do not pay attention to the first-to-file race could miss out and lose their patent rights. It's definitely a proverbial, "you snooze, you lose," scenario. That's not to say the law is harmful, despite protests from its objectors. There are distinct advantages to the first-to-file scenario under the new law in that it prevents the long, extended lawsuits and potential bullying that can take place by larger companies with the resources to litigate against a small company for a long time over the smaller company's patent. Consider the experience of small-time inventor Bob Kearns, who invented the intermittent windshield wiper. His case against the Ford Motor Company was made famous in the 2008 movie, "Flash of Genius,"starring Greg Kinnear. Kearns' case against Ford to protect his invention, his patent, his product, lasted years in the late 60s/early 70s, and cost him tens of thousands of dollars and, arguably, his marriage. He litigated about how Ford stole his idea and that case risked everything he stood for. Eventually (plot spoiler) he won, but it cost him dearly in his family, standing and treasure. But, he won, and he won big. With the new law in place, vigilant small businesses avoid Kearns' situation and guard their products through prompt patent and trademark protection. The trademark is a registration of the business' brand concept in the form of a logo, or other symbol/writing. The patent requires an application be made to show the product is novel, non-obvious and is workable. In the case of written materials, copyright law also helps. These same vigilant companies also can protect themselves with "assignments of inventorship", confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-compete agreements. Also strict trade secret enforcement is also important. The small businesses that cut corners to avoid the expense of licensing and non-compete agreements are the ones who likely will suffer under the changes to the patent law. Those that take on a consultant to help with a particular design without a trade secret agreement, confidentiality agreement, non-compete agreement or especially, an assignment of inventorship rights, then run the risk that a wily consultant might rush to the patent office and file a patent application --- and grab the patent before the actual inventor/small business. Under the new law, there are some limited ways potentially to challenge that, but they involve much litigation and expense. The best and most inexpensive way is for the small business to protect products/work/research up front is by using the various intellectual property protections as noted above – before consultants ever start working on a development project. Additionally, small businesses working toward developing an invention/product need to ensure a competitor/larger or even giant company doesn't file a pre-emptive patent application just to grab the patent. Secrecy is paramount. Remember the old adage, "Loose lips sink ships." On the whole, the new changes to patent rules under the AIA are good for small businesses that are willing to spend a little up front to protect their intellectual property BEFORE it is stolen or grabbed by another. In fact, if Bob Kearns had gone out today, and filed before Ford did, then much of that litigation would have been avoided – as he'd not be challenged on WHEN he first came up with the idea. Hollywood would have missed out on a movie, but Kearns could have saved time and money on lengthy, complicated litigation.

Wow .. so I came to the conclusion yesterday that bottling blows and I'm going to start putting together a basic kegging setup sooner than later. I bottled one batch (48 bottles) and between soaking the bottles, removing the labels, rinsing, and sanitizing, filling and capping, it was literally an all day event.. and only half the bottles needed the labels removed. Ugh. But the sample I tasted out of the hydrometer tasted good prior to adding the cherry extract, so I have high hopes for the beer. Brewed again today, a very simple American Amber Ale.. extract with some steeping grains, 1oz cascade hops, 1oz Mount Hood. Should ferment out quick and be ready soon... hoping 2-3 weeks.
Taking the labels off is the biggest pain in the ass of the whole process, you should just do it beforehand.
Yeah I've decided that whenever I buy bottled beer from now on, as soon as I finish the 6 pack I'll soak them, remove the labels and soak in PBW .. that way all I need to do on bottling day is sanitize them. That will save a lot of time.
