Do You Have a New Invention Idea?
CLICK HERE to Submit your Invention. 100% Confidential. No Obligation.
When filing a patent application it is extremely important to make sure that the invention is as fully described as possible. Patent attorneys say this all the time, but what does it really mean? How do you "fully describe" an invention in a patent application?
The answer is that you always want to have as much information about the invention as possible. You want to very broadly and generally describe the invention, but you also need to have high specific discussion of the various nuances of each and every aspect of the invention. Frequently inventors will say to me, "but I don't want to be highly specific because then it will be easy for someone to get around my invention." This is typically following with a very confident: "Therefore, I will only generally describe my invention without mentioning to many specifics." That is a tragic mistake.
What happens if the patent examiner finds the broad, general description of your invention to be in the prior art? If you don't have nuances described in your specification what will happen is you will get a rejection that is impossible to overcome. Those nuances are going to be how you distinguish your invention over the prior art, both the prior art you know about when you file but more importantly the prior art that you didn't know about and couldn't have known about because it hadn't yet been published prior to your filing.
What this means is you want to have a general description of your invention, a very specific description of the complete version of your invention with all the nuances, and any number of versions of your invention in between. So you don't want only general, you don't want only specific. You want to "book end" your description with the general and the specific and then in between explain the various options, combinations and characteristics that make up numerous different versions of the invention.
Let's talk in terms of an example. Below are two illustrations of a hamburger, courtesy of Autrige Dennis of ASCADEX Patent Illustration Services. I use Autrige for drawings and I have always found him his drawings to be very good. His prices excellent and his turn around time is exceptional. He is not an advertiser, just a friend. I have no reservations about recommending him.
The single most effective way to expand any disclosure is to include high quality drawings. In many patent applications there just are not enough drawings provided. Drawings are truly worth 1000 words, and they are quite cheap given the overall importance to your disclosure. A sheet of drawings typically ranges between $50 to $125, with slightly higher prices charged for design patents.
The first figure (see left) is what is referred to as an exploded view. The pieces and parts are dangling in space, but you can see how they will all fit together. This can be an excellent way to show how a device with numerous pieces and parts is assembled. Notice in this drawing the elements are labeled. When you file an application that is now how you file drawings. You would just have reference numbers, but for sake demonstration I asked Autrige to give me drawings with the labels attached. He also created formal drawings that could be filed in an application if you want to see what those would look like.
What you are looking at here is something that is similar to a Big Mac because it has two beef patties, which are identified by reference numeral 10. It isn't quite a Big Mac through because there is no special sauce, and there are tomatoes 18 added.
Having a drawing like this makes it easy to describe the hamburger, but it also makes it easy to describe more than what is shown in the drawing. Allow me to illustrate. In a patent application you might describe this drawing as follows:
"Fig. 1 shows a particular version of a hamburger sandwich. In this particular embodiment the hamburger sandwich is shown with a top bun 4 having sesame seeds 2 and a bottom bun 20. Ketchup 22 and Mayo 14 are mixed together and spread on the inside surface of the bottom bun 20. Lettuce 12 is placed on top of the Ketchup/Mayo slurry. Cheese 8 is placed on the Lettuce 12 and Tomatoes 18 are placed on the Cheese 8."
Let's stop there for a second. Notice what we are doing is relying on the drawing to allow us to explain how this particular version of the invention that is being showed is put together. But notice how the way that I have described things so far is extremely mechanical. But what if I don't want to limit the invention by requiring all of these components? Or what if I want to include Mustard or Special Sauce? Well, let's not refer to it as "Ketchup" and "Mayo," but instead a "first condiment" and a "second condiment." Notice also how I switch up to make the order of things matter less. Attempt two goes as follows:
"Fig. 1 shows a particular version of a hamburger sandwich. In this particular embodiment the hamburger sandwich is shown with a top bun 4, which is shown here as having sesame seeds 2 and a bottom bun 20. The sesame seeds 2 on the top bun 4 are optional. Instead of the optional sesame seeds 2, the top bun may have poppy seeds thereon (not shown). In still a further version, the top bun 4 may have a mixture of sesame seeds 2 and poppy seeds, or even be plain.
"A first condiment 22 and a second condiment 14 are shown spread on the inside surface of the bottom bun 20. These first and second condiments are optional, and there is not an upper limitation on the number of condiments that can be employed, although only a first and a second condiment are specifically shown. However, at least one condiment must be used. Particularly suitable condiments may include ketchup, mustard, mayo, barbeque sauce, hot sauce and/or buffalo sauce. In some instances chocolate, peanut butter and/or fluff may be used as a condiment. In one particular version of the invention the first and second condiments are different (i.e., ketchup and mayo). In another particular version of the invention the first and second condiments are the same (i.e., double ketchup).
"Fig. 1 then illustrates Lettuce 12, Cheese 8, Tomatoes 18 and a first beef patty 10 be placed on top of the one or more condiments. These items may be placed on top of the one or more condiments in any order. The Lettuce 12 and Tomatoes 18 are optional. While two slices of Tomatoes 18 are shown, a single Tomato slice may be preferable."
There are a couple things to notice about the second alternative description of Fig. 1. First, notice that I made at least one condiment required. There is no right or wrong answer here really, but it is essential that you identify something as mandatory only if it really is mandatory. How do you know if something is mandatory? If it needs to be there for the invention to work it is mandatory. If it needs to be there in order to make the invention different than the prior art then it is mandatory. In reality, few things are typically mandatory and most things should be identified as optional or permissible.
Second, notice how I describe things that are not shown in the drawing. Drawings are excellent because they give you a specific vehicle to describe, but as you are describing the drawing you will likely find that there are things that are not show in the drawing or which could be different. Do you need a separate drawing? Sometimes the answer will be yes, you should have a separate drawing. But do I need a separate drawing to say that the sesame seeds could be poppy seeds? No, probably not.
I am not going to suggest that this description of Fig. 1 is perfect, but hopefully you get the idea. So far we have only described one little part of Fig. 1 and we are already at 3 paragraphs. Can you imagine if we started to discuss the various types of Cheese 8 by listing Munster, Provolone, American, Swiss, etc. etc.? You could do the same with the Lettuce 12, and might even mention that as an alternative to Lettuce you might use Spinach (not shown). Alternatively you might use both Lettuce 12 and Spinach (not shown). Then there are all kinds of different Tomatoes as well. Of course the beef could be 73%, 80%, 88%, 90%, it could be black angus beef, certified, no-antibiotics, grass-fed, etc. etc.
The moral of the story here is that even for something simple like a hamburger you can go on page after page after page to include all kinds of additional information, variation and nuance. We haven't even discussed how it could be cooked (i.e., fried, flame broiled over a gas grill, flame broiled over charcoal, etc. etc.) The burger could even be baked! Yes baked! You can include anything that will work, no matter how crude. If you don't include it then it isn't in your disclosure and it isn't yours. So include absolutely everything you can think of. The more the better. You never know what you might need in order to convince an examiner that your invention is new and non-obvious.
Once you have milked Fig. 1 for all it is worth, then move on to Fig. 2 (which could be the drawing at the top of this article) and so on.
If there was something unique about the way you cook the burger you might want to include a drawing or even sequence of drawings that show the cooking and/or preparation. So now you hopefully are starting to understand what it is that your patent attorney or patent agent will do. Of course, you are the inventor and the more prepared you are to work with the patent attorney the easier and smoother the process will be.

An important article; especially for the independent inventor.
Take it from me, when you're writing your specification, spill your guts about your invention. Include everything you can think of. Everything. Variations. Options. Alternative embodiments. Details. Even if you think they're silly; or that no one would ever use/want them. Review other patents and applications both in your invention's technology field — and related to its field — for more ideas. Think. Research. Write. Think. Research. Write. And think, research, and write some more.
And as you say Gene, Autrige's great. Did some drawings for me last month.
Quick, responsive, easy to work with, excellent work, very fair pricing.

Your article uses the magic word: invention.
2nd ¶, 112 states the spec ends with one or more claims claiming the subject matter that the inventor regards as the invention.
If you put the "invention" any place other than the claims, you are asking for trouble.
You can have lots of "disclosure", you can have processes and manufactures and machines and compositions of matter in the spec and you can have many variations or embodiments of each, but you better not have inventions in the specification other than in the claims.
That is why in the old days prosecutors were trained to write the claims first.

John Roethel-
Your comment is simply wrong.
First, I will point out that you obviously didn't read the article very carefully. You talk about the article using the word "invention" in the claims. There is no claim mentioned or provided in this article. The article is about the specification. So it makes it difficult to take your commentary seriously when it is obviously about something other than the subject at hand.
Second, you say: "you better not have inventions in the specification other than in the claims."
That is 100% false. The specification can and frequently will and really should be broader than the claims. This happens in many instances throughout patent law and the fact that you seem unaware of that is a little disturbing. First, it happens when a restriction is given. Second it happens when the overall invention is a complicated system, for example, and the initial claim set focuses on an aspect of the disclosure.
Finally, you say: "that is why in the old days prosecutors were trained to write the claims first."
We have this discussion here all the time and many, like you, feel there is only one way to write a patent application. That is your opinion and you are free to have your opinion. It is, of course, wrong. Based on your comments here and the erroneous comment that the specification cannot be broader than the claims it would seem that you are one of those who writes claims and then writes the disclosure to cover the claims and nothing more. That is how bargain basement providers can charge $1,500 for a nonprovisional patent application. It is also a recipe for abandoning an application after the first office action because there is nothing else to add to the claims from the specification. Any inventor that follows your advise is setting themselves up for disaster.
John Roethel

I find your reply hostile. My point is that the "invention" is defined by the claims.
You have misinterpreted my comments. And I object to your characterization of my opinion as wrong.
Best wishes with your blog.
February 10th, 2013 5:19 pm
You're not the only one who finds Gene's reply hostile. His rush to criticize you makes him look bad and calls into question his critical reading abilities.
The point you actually made is well-taken: don't use words like "invention" in the specification because they *may* be used by someone trying to import limitations from the spec into the claims.
And you have my respect – you've been registered with the PTO longer than I've been alive. I doubt you're one of the "bargain basement providers" that Gene is so eager to lambaste.

So what do you mean when you say: "you better not have inventions in the specification other than in the claims."
What do you mean when you say: "If you put the "invention" any place other than the claims, you are asking for trouble."
There is nothing wrong with using the word "invention," despite the many who protest. The cases that discuss what you seem to be trying to raise are cases where the term "invention" is used and only a particular subset of limitations is used. For example, when "the invention" is articulated as always having core components or never articulated as having anything other than core components.

We can have this debate if you want, but if we are going to have this discussion on a post that is clearly intended to educate inventors then we have to have it in its full glory and not make any assumptions. Read what John wrote. Would what he wrote be comprehensible by a novice inventor? No. As a matter of fact, not only would the meaning not be comprehended the exact opposite meaning, indeed an incorrect meaning, is the most likely message received.
Really, what do you suppose an inventor would think when reading: "you better not have inventions in the specification other than in the claims." I understand what he was probably trying to say, but there were a lot of missing parts and overstatements that were incorrect, as I pointed out.
With respect to your comment, is it is your contention that using the word "invention" in the specification will lead to limitations being read into the claims despite the law that says limitations are not read into the claims from the specification? Obviously not, because you say "may be used." So let's explore the law with respect to when "the invention" is may be used to limit and compare it with what I wrote to see if what I wrote is incorrect and I needed to be chastised for using the term "invention" in a patent application.
The cases you are relying upon assert a proposition typically used out of context to mean far more than what they really say. The cases you are thinking of all have a very specific set of facts. It would be interesting for you to compare those facts with what I wrote and explain why it is that you think it is appropriate to criticize what I wrote.
In the illustrative text to explain how an inventor can work with drawings I used the term "invention" that you and John seem to have such problems with twice. I wrote:
"In one particular version of the invention the first and second condiments are different (i.e., ketchup and mayo). In another particular version of the invention the first and second condiments are the same (i.e., double ketchup)."
Here you will notice that the term "invention" is not used to denote any specific or particular "invention." The cases you and John are thinking of are quite clear. The specification repeatedly makes reference to a core set of limitations as "the invention." In those applications "the invention" is never articulated as being anything other than the same core set of limitations.
To the contrary, the exact opposite is done here, as evidenced by "in one particular version …" Elsewhere in what I wrote you will see "In this particular embodiment…" Thus, the cases that caution against the use of "the invention" are not relevant. So why bring them up if not to merely make me look bad?
If you want to write applications that obfuscate the reality that there is an invention, whether with a singular embodiment or many embodiments, that is fine. Go for it. But there is nothing wrong with using the term invention in a patent application. If the law ever were to be "don't use the word invention in a patent application" we really all ought to question what it is that we are doing and whether patent law as a whole has jumped the shark.

I am going to write about this more in the coming days, but I just found this, which is a good summary:
There is nothing inherently evil about talking about "the invention" in the specification.

Thank you for your kind words. I agree with your interpretationn of the current state of the law regarding the use of the word "invention." You explained it more articulately than I.

Picking up on this discussion I wrote this article which was published earlier today:
It explains that the law is quite clear. There is nothing wrong with using the word "invention" or "present invention" in the specification. Those terms do not limit claims. What limits claims is narrow disclosures that are poorly drafted and only articulate a single version of the invention. But that is, of course, limiting regardless of the use of the word "invention" or the phrase "present invention."

On Friday, the Senate
Finance and Commerce Committees reached agreement on a common bill to fund the
Federal Aviation Administration for the next four years... putting
an end to seven months of bureaucratic stalling on the measure.
According to numerous news reports, the bill maintains a 65
percent increase on fuel taxes for business-jet operators to fund
upgrades to the nation's air traffic control system, from 21.8
cents to 36 cents per gallon.
Conversely, the compromise bill does not include a $25-per-trip
fee originally proposed for turbine-powered aircraft on IFR flight
plans, which was bandied by West Virginia Senator Jay
Under the Senate plan -- the result of a compromise struck by
Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, and Finance
Committee chairman Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) -- a new $400 million
FAA account dedicated to upgrading ATC services to
the much-bandied "NextGen" system will be created, with the
increase in the fuel excise tax on Jet-A for
bizav users contributing another $240 million annually on
top of that.
"This agreement is a good down payment toward ending the growing
inequities that exist between airline passengers and corporate jet
users," Rockefeller said Friday.
In a bit of good news for airline passengers -- at a time when
they could really use some -- the compromise also holds
passenger fees and taxes to current levels, though the House
version of the FAA funding bill (H.R. 2881) would raise those
charges. Apart from that significant difference, the Senate bill
(S.1300) closely mirrors the House plan, which was approved back in
News of the compromise agreement was met with measured approval
by the National Business Aviation Association. "We applaud the
continuing work Congress has done on this very important issue,"
said CEO Ed Bolen.
US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) will hold a cloture
vote Monday, April 28, at 1730 EDT on the bill. Reid will hold the
vote to limit debate on a motion to proceed to the FAA
reauthorization bill, putting a cap on the never-ending debate that
has stalled the legislation in the Senate since September 2007. The
vote would also prevent senators from filibustering.
"We are deeply appreciative of the leadership of both the Senate
Commerce and Finance committees, in particular Chairman
Rockefeller, in crafting a bill that recognizes the importance of
not adding new taxes on airline passengers during a time of
skyrocketing fuel costs," noted James C. May, president and CEO of
the Air Transport Association. "The modest increase in what
corporate jets would pay is a step in the right direction, but we
note that it still falls short of the costs they impose on the
In related news, ANN received late word Friday the bill also
includes language on a so-called "passengers bill of rights"

Fernando Alonso was left to lament what could have been after a broken anti roll-bar cost him what he reckons would have been his "easiest pole position."
In front of the cheering tifosi, the Spaniard was the man to beat in qualifying, setting the pace in Q1 and again in Q2. However, it wasn't to be.
At the start of the final segment, the pole position shoot-out, the double World Champion gave track position to his team-mate Felipe Massa at Ascari.
But instead of staying on his team-mate's rear wing, Alonso dropped back before heading into the pits some six seconds off the pace.
He re-emerged later for another run but could only manage a 1:25.678, which put him down in a shocking 10th place, 1.668s behind pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton.
"Something broke in the car in Q3," Alonso explained to Sky Sports F1. "We had no time to fix it so we went out to see if we could beat some of the cars but unfortunately we were not able.
"It's a shame because it was the easiest pole position for us. We did a [one minute] 24.1 in Q2 with an easy lap and looking at it they [McLaren] did 24.0 in Q3.
"It was easy for us to do that and we lost one big opportunity, but nothing we can do now. We try to be strong tomorrow, the car will be fixed, so we will see what we can do from 10th."
Meanwhile team boss Stefano Domenicali called the situation "unfortunate" as their F2012 was showing great pace as evident by Felipe Massa's P3.
"It seems [a] problem with the rear of the car. It seems to be a mechanical failure - we need to wait the car [for the car] coming back. It happened on the first lap of Q3," the Italian said.
"We knew that the car was not good because Fernando understood the situation straight away. So it's very unfortunate, but that's the way it is.
"Of course [we are] very disappointed because we could have done a great qualifying with Fernando, at least with Felipe [Massa] we did a good job and he's there just behind the McLarens."

Top Local Tips for Littlehampton
Arundel wetlands Visit the wetlands wildlife centre. We stayed near to Arundel to visit the castle which was enjoyable but pricey. The Wetlands reserve however were fantastic and we had a really enjoyable couple of hours wnadering around.
Lunching in Arundel Have a leisurely stroll through the streets and be tempted (as we were) by the food on offer. Our only real problem was deciding which one to go to. In the end we visited the very English one opposite The Norfolk Arms (sorry, cant remember its name!). The food was reasonably priced and very delicious. Service was also excellent. The dining room has one wall covered in ancient weapons. Very interesting since a notice told us that they may be for sale and if interested, ask a member of staff.

Report a Problem With A Review
of Phantom Canyon Brewing Company - Colorado Springs, CO
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Phantom Canyon Brewing Company, which says:
"This was the first stop the first brewery tour vacation for my and I in Colorado, and it was a great place to start. Phantom Canyon is a large establishment (two-stories, if I recall) and, by all accounts, a great place to hang-out. In addition to a great beer selection, the food was pretty good, service was great, and the place had plenty of pool tables and patio seating.
But enough mindless drivel. On to the beer! On the day of our visit (7/2/05), Phantom Canyon had on tap 11 different brews (well, 10 actually as they were out of Cascade Amber - but I did see someone wheel a keg of it away while we were there). I didn't rate any of them higher than 4 out of 5, but then again, I don't rate many beers 5/5. My favorites were the Railyard Ale (4/5), Pikes Peak or Bust Brown Ale (4/5), Hefeweizen (4/5), and Zebulon's Peated Porter (4/5). Zebulon's was the most notable of Phantom's beer in that it had a remarkable smokey flavor and very smooth mouth-feel. Unfortunately, there wasn't any aroma to speak of.
Other beers which I rated in the 2.5 to 3.5 range included Queen's Blonde Ale (3/5), Antioxidant Ale (2.5/5 - had a strong ginger flavor but no aroma), Pinhead Ale (3.5/5 - a mix b/n an amber and an IPA), and Sierra Madre Stout (3/5 - great mouth-feel).
I didn't care much for the Demolition Cream Ale (1.5/5 - it was a bit too sharp on the tongue) or the Phantom IPA (2/5 - no smell, which is a crime when it comes to IPA's, and it was too bitter - shame on me on this point, I guess).
All in all, a pretty good establishment. Any place that is willing to roll out so many different brews at a time and is willing to take some risks is well worth the visit.

New Braille display finally delivers the whole Internet to the blind
A prototype hydraulic and latching mechanism could bring to blind computer users something they've never had before: a full-page. Right now, refreshable Braille displays are slow and unwieldy, allowing a user access to the equivalent of one line of text at a time. For this reason, the vast majority of Internet content and computer applications are unavailable to the blind. What's worse, these displays are often horribly expensive.
From North Carolina State University, where the research is taking place:
The mechanism would be made of an electroactive polymer that is very resilient and inexpensive, when compared to current Braille display technologies. "This material will allow us to raise dots to the correct height, so they can be read," says Dr. Peichun Yang, a postdoctoral research associate at NC State and co-author of the paper. "Once the dots are raised, a latching mechanism would support the weight being applied by a person's fingers as the dots are read. The material also responds quickly, allowing a reader to scroll through a document or Web site quickly."
Try to imagine how different your life would be if you didn't have access to the Internet — or could only crawl through select segments of it one line at a time. More than just blogs and news sites, it's probably the first place anyone goes if they need to find help, medical advice, job opportunities and more. Dr. Yang, blind himself, hopes this technology will open up new horizons: "Reading Braille is essential to allowing blind people to find employment," he said in the release. "We're optimistic that this technology will give the blind additional opportunities in this area."

In the Flesh
Zombies are hot. But leave it to the British to make them cool. And smart. And a shade more human than many of those they left behind. Turns out that being dead, or undead, is the ultimate wake-up call. While watching BBC America's fascinating and unexpectedly moving three-part miniseries In the Flesh (Thursday through Saturday, 10/9c), I was reminded less of AMC's blockbuster thriller The Walking Dead than of Sundance Channel's recent triumph, the artful Rectify, another searing drama of an outsider adjusting ...

Thank you for a wonderful season! I loved all the special items...the eggs, the blueberries and all the greens! And I have enough potatoes, squash and onions to take me partway through the winter. I also blanched and froze some beets and carrots...so for winter stews, I'm all set! Thanks for such a lovely spring/summer harvest. You guys have really got this down since year two and three!
It's been a great season. Tonight our 2 1/2 yr old was eating a fistful of greens that I had just thinly cut and tossed with dressing and my modestly veggie phobic 5 yr old ate every roasted parsnip he could find. Thanks for providing such lovely things for our table.
I just wanted to say how much we are enjoying our vegetable share this year. We have loved every box! The eggs are a very nice addition. And the option of every other week works so perfectly for us, as our household is just the three of us now, and our teenage son unfortunately is not a big veggie eater at this point in his life. Thanks for your excellent work and continued creativity that makes the share experience just get better and better.

Lindsey's Regency Wedding Gown
By Jennie Chancey
I ordered a pattern from you back in November or so. Here is the final product! Thanks so much. My mom made the dress out of Indian silk that was embroidered–very beautiful–and satin underneath. Couldn't have done it without you! ~ Lindsey R.

Imagine what it would be like if you could easily add your name, signature or logo to your personal creations. Custom jewelry tags add a special touch to brand your work and add contact information for future sales (even after the packaging has been discarded). Your customers then do more selling for you by wearing the tag on their bracelet, necklace, purse, cellphone and more!
Charm Factory's jewelry tags are custom engraved, not stamped, so the process is quick and easy. You probably already know that stamping your own tags can be an arduous process with expensive set up fees, long wait times for a quote and a die, and then you have to do all the hammering yourself on an anvil. Our rotary engraving machine has a very precise diamond tip, so detail is much finer than a stamp or a laser engraver, where fine details are lost.

I was very pleased with the quality of the Custom Jewelry Tags Charm Factory made just for me. Not only did they have the perfect size for my bracelets, they had a tag that matches my business card colors. The tags I chose where the Copper Black Oxide Tags , how perfect can you get!!
Look at how well the tag matches up with my business cards.
When I was told about this new service they are providing I was so excited, what a fantastic finishing touch to all my jewelry and I love how it makes my pieces of jewelry look even that much more professional. I added a tag to my sterling silver and black freshwater pearl creation and I love it.
Charm factory made it so easy to order. All I had to do was email them with what I wanted and they made it happen, and very quickly too.
Charm factory offers the Custom Engraved Jewelry Tags in several sizes and shapes.

First things first... I have been put in the spotlight over at I Is A Geek. You can head over there and read a short bio on yours truly, as well as get a look at my ugly mug and the area in which I draw the strip. It's a really interesting site... look around.
We have a new sponsor this month. Twisted Kaiju Theater is sponsoring CAD for the month, and helping to pay our bills. So head on over there as a sign of appreciation and poke around.
The response to the call for CADMedia staff has been overwhelming. Andrew has been working non-stop sorting through all of the applications. We'll be choosing the best that we can to start off our site, but if you don't get chosen, don't worry. Once we're well underway I'm sure we'll be looking for more talent again.
A lot of people have been wondering what I thought of The Hulk. Well, I'm not going to get into a long review here, but to sum it up, I felt 70% of it was good, 30% of it should have been left out. I think the ending sucked, and the tank scene was the best scene ever. Do I recommend seeing it? Yes. Do I think it's a great movie? No.
Spotlight!Monday, June 23, 2003 | 01:52 AM | by
Guess What!Monday, June 23, 2003 | 10:31 AM | by
I'm moving the closing of the CAD store up a few days. With all of the problems with CafePress, I've decided not to take any chances.
So the store will be closing on Wednesday night. Last call for any of that Ctrl+Alt+Del merchandise, which will be replaced by new merchandise at some point in the future. These designs will be retired.

Thanks againMonday, June 23, 2003 | 07:09 PM | by Andrew
The applications have started to slow down, with just over 330 sent in, and I must say I didn't expect anything close to this amount of feedback. I honestly think CAD Media will be a big success with all this help. Needless to say not everyone will make it, but as Absath said, we probably will need help again at some point. If you are interested in writing for CAD and you haven't applied yet, read my Friday news post and email me at email@example.com and we'll talk about it. Thanks for the tremendous response, once again. Also look for a review of Hulk soon.

Sunday's holiday episode of "The Simpsons," titled "White Christmas Blues," was the last episode written by Don Payne, the former Wilmingtonian who passed away in March.
In an extended opening title sequence, the show honored Payne, as well as the late Marcia Wallace, who voiced harried teacher Edna Krabapple. Wallace died in October.
You're forgiven if you didn't see the tribute. It whirs by so fast it can only be seen by watching the sequence
frame by frame. But it's there, and it's sweet.
Wallace and Payne, a New Hanover High School graduate who won four Emmy Awards and received six Writer's Guild Award nominations for his work as writer/producer on "The Simpsons," appear as angels.
"[W]e wanted to do a tribute to two terrific people, Marcia and Don," "Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean told E! News.
Even in the YouTube clip below, the pair are a bit blurry (Find them at about the 1:14 mark.). If you missed the episode, you can watch it on demand through certain cable and satellite providers now, and it will be available at Fox.com on Monday, Dec. 23.
Just in time for Christmas.
Don Payne was awarded a star on the Wilmington Walk of Fame in 2005. Read more about Don's life and career here and see links to more of his work here.

UPDATE: Warrant Issued For Woman in Moraine Homicide; Kids Found Safe
MORAINE -- Police and several Montgomery County Sheriff's deputies are actively searching Monday night for a suspected murderer.
They served a second search warrant at a home on the corner of Myron and Brunswick avenues in Trotwood.
Police have been searching for Chantell Spears since early Sunday morning after they say she stabbed her boyfriend, 32-year-old Delshaun Jones, in the chest. He later died at the hospital.
Officers became concerned about Spears' 7-month-old son, Delshaun Jones Jr. They found him with a family member a few hours after they started searching.
Police tell us the family members either don't know where she is or won't say, and were hoping to find more evidence at the home on Myron.
"We located additional information throughout the day that lead us to believe that there might be some additional evidence here at the home," said Moraine Police Sgt. Craig Richardson.
If you've seen Spears or know where she is call Moraine Police at 937-535-1166.
Earlier coverage:
MORAINE -- The Montgomery County Prosecutors Office has issued an arrest warrant for Chantell Spears for the murder of Delshaun Jones.
There has been growing concern for the whereabouts of her children, including 7-month-old Delshaun Jones Jr. Chantell Spears fled the scene of the murder and is still at large.
Please call Moraine Police Dispatch at 937-535-1166 with any information on the whereabouts of Spears or the children.
Earlier coverage:
MORAINE -- Police say Chantell Spears is wanted after her boyfriend was found stabbed on the sidewalk outside of a home on Charlotte Mill Drive in Moraine.
The Coroner's Office identified the victim as Delshaun Jones, 32, of Trotwood. The coroner's office completed the autopsy, but police asked them not to release the official cause of death.
Police say Jones was found stabbed around 5:30 Sunday morning. He was rushed to the hospital but later died. It is still unclear where Jones was actually stabbed, but detectives spent all day at the home collecting evidence.
Police say if anyone knows were Spears may be, call them.

|Tom Cannavan's wine-pages.com
The start of today's tasting of the Médoc communes of St-Estephe, Pauillac and St Julien worried me a little, as with one or two exceptions there was an aggressive edge to several of the wines, with rather rustic, gripping tannins that somewhat overpowered the fruit.
But as the tasting progressed, leading from the Crus Bourgeois of the Haut-Médoc to the Grands Vins, the wines became (generally) more and more impressive. Whether this was because the terroir expressed itself better, or simply that the estates could practice - and did practice - better winemaking, is hard to say. Probably it is a combination of both, with the grand estates having the resources, equipment and money to select very carefully and to take steps during fermentation to control and monitor extraction.
There are some really great wines in 2004 on the Left Bank, and many very good ones. I chatted to other very experienced international tasters who made it along to Latour and Las-Cases today, and they agreed that Latour is a classic and that Las-Cases has also made a great 2004.
Château Beychevelle, 4th growth 2004
Moderately deep and very vibrant crimson. There's a depth and solidity here, with hints of chocolate and espresso bean, and a warming core of autumnal berry fruits and spices. Very harmonious palate; the texture is quite silky, and there's a sweet depth of fruit with cherry and deeper, juicy plum notes. Tannins here are fine and well-controlled, with a polished quality though plenty of grippy power. Acidity seems quite gentle, but it is sufficient and balances well with re-emerging coffee and toasty oak and spice in the finish. 90-91/100
Château Branaire-Ducru, 4th growth 2004
A very dark and solid crimson/black. Quite a powerful, dark edge of charcoally, black plum and plumskin fruit, quite resonant with cassis sweetness beneath and a spicy overlay. On the palate the texture is quite creamy and there is a mouthfilling rich sweetness to the fruit. There's a solidity here, but very good ripeness. Coffee and chocolaty notes from wood and supple tannins provide powerful but not aggressive support, and a big spicy finish is matched by a seam of good acidity. Very harmonious. 92/100
Château Gruaud-Larose, 2nd growth 2004
A very, very dark blackish crimson. Very deep, resonant plum and blackcurrant fruit. There is a charcoally depth and edge and lots of cherry brightness too. Touches of black chocolate. Really sweet on the palate. Lovely rounded, supple, sweet berry fruit of great ripeness and quality. A slick of creamy-textured, supple tannins melds with the dramatically dark fruit and bold blackcuranty acidity in a long, very composed and elegant finish. Very complete and fruit well up to tannins. 94/100
Château Lagrange, 3rd growth 2004
Solid, opaque black/crimson. This is very tight, giving little beyond a sheen of composed, muscular, tightly-wound black fruit. On the palate there is a slightly inky, dry, charcoally concentration of tannins and plummy black fruit that is very drying and mouth-coating. Rich in texture, the depth and suppleness of fruit is submerged at present but it is there, and there is a pure core of cassis that is promising. 91/100
Château Langoa-Barton, 2nd growth 2004
Extremely dense and black colour. Correspondingly dense and dark nose, with blue/black fruit quality, a charcoally darkness and dryness and a touch of Indian ink. A lovely sweetness of fruit emerges on the palate; very supple, rounded, wrapped in a polished oaky quality but with deep black fruit at the core. The tannins here are very sweet and ripe, with a great chocolaty depth to them, in a balanced wine with real structure and length. 94/100
Château Léoville-Barton, 2nd growth 2004
Very deep, opaque crimson/black. Dark and sonorous nose, with lots of creaminess of blackcurrant, and a polished, slightly cedary old polished wood note. The palate displays very good sweetness of fruit. A deep, sweet, core of pure cassis drives through the mid-palate, with a medium-bodied but quite robust and full texture. That creaminess persists, and the polished tannins and very pure, clean acidity give a crispness to the finish. Spice and a touch of polished, coffeeish oak support. 93/100
Château Léoville-Poyferré, 2nd growth 2004
Almost black, with touch of crimson on rim. Similarly dark and creamy to Barton, with a core of black plum and blackcurrant fruit. There is a chocolaty quality on the nose here, that is seductive. Pure and dark, black fruits on the palate, with a big grip of dry tannin but obvious sweetness and ripeness beneath. This has a stylish, creaminess to the tannins, with plenty of spice and espresso richness, but with lovely cassis acidity and that chocolaty character, quite sumptuous. 94/100
Château Talbot, 4th growth 2004 Dark but quite vibrant crimson. Fragrant, much brighter cherry and raspberry character here. A nice creamy oak quality and plushness of fruit does give depth though. Wood is perhaps slightly more raw at this stage, with the fruit rather dominated and appearing lighter and less profound on the palate. With a lighter-toned but still powerful tannic structure, and a very dry cherry acidity, it doesn't have the weight or richness of some, but has finesse. 90-91/100
Château Batailley 2004
Deep, glossy purple/black. A smoky warmth, almost nuttiness on the nose. Fruit is quite subdued. The palate is mellow and quite dark and composed, with a cherry and plumskin quality of bittersweet fruit, and a very dry tannic extract. There's a juiciness about the cherry acidity, and it is quite harmonious, but the dryness of tannins and spicy, mellow oak on the finish rather dominate for now. 89-90/100.
Château Clerc-Milon 2004
Crimson/black and vivid colour. Quite a glossy, black, shiny quality of blackcurrant and ripe, black plum fruit on the nose, with just nuances of espresso bean and a tiny violetty hint. On the palate it is composed and pure, with masses of dark, slick, cherry and blackcurrant fruit sweetness and chocolaty, ripe tannins that stay supple and full through the mid-palate despite a mouth-coating quality. The quality of oak is lovely too, with more coffee and a toasty warmth and spice integrating well with the tannins and luxurious fruit. 92-93/100
Château Croizet-Bages, 5th growth 2004
Very solid blackish colour. Slightly Porty nose, with just a suggestion of volatility, but then a good quality of cherry and black fruits does emerge with some slightly vegetal nuances. On the palate it is rather dry, with a slightly meat-stocky character and very dry fruit that does emerge with more sweetness in the finish. The acidity is quite good, and it is not unbalanced, but somehow seems rather spiky and lacking a bit of cohesion at this stage. 88-89/100
Château d'Armailhac 2004
Intense deep crimson. Very fragrant; cherry and blackcurrant, with a lightness and floral edge, over some plummier notes and an almost kirsch-like ripeness. The palate is full, sweet and harmonious, with quite a fat, ripe red fruit quality and a smooth, silky texture. There's a warmth to the oak and the polished, very refined tannins, which with a coffee note and quite a generous plumskin acidity gives a very inviting, approachable profile. There is good depth though, in a delicious style. 91/100
Château Grand-Puy-Ducasse, 5th growth 2004
Intense deep crimson. Cherry and raspberry qualities, with nuances of rose-hip and a leathery but very refined (not rustic) note. Lots of polish and aromatics. The palate is quite seamless and approachable, with a lovely core of sweet cherry and pure cassis fruit, and a mellow, chocolaty layering of oak. The tannins here are really supple and support without any aggressive tendency. Along with juicy, quite generous cherry acidity, this is a very successful G-P-D. 92/100
Château Haut-Bages-Libéral, 5th growth 2004
Very opaque crimson/black. Dark, polished, a touch cedary, with creamy black fruits and a core of supple plum. There is good fruit and fruit sweetness on the palate, with a rather dry tannic structure and orangy, drying acidity rather cutting it short at present. Oak is very lightly handled, and there is some elegance to this medium-bodied wine, but it lacks a little fruit depth in face of all that extraction. 89/100
Château Lynch-Bages, 5th growth 2004
Very deep crimson/black. Deep, sonorous, very composed nose with plummy fruit and a polished character. Lots of very black, plummy fruit with a supple, dark oak overlay. On the palate the oak is slightly raw at present, with a vanillin layer over cool, composed, very tight and shiny black fruit. Lovely sweetness and depth here, and the suppleness of tannins and bittersweet plumskin acidity gives depth and harmony. 93/100
Château Lynch-Moussas, 5th growth 2004
Rather dry on the nose, with a touch of inkiness to cherry skin fruit. There is a chocolate note and some cherry brightness. On the palate quite cool and classy, with nice sweetness of fruit, but also a toasty, rich underpinning. Chocolate and creamy bittersweetness rounds out the finish and there is good, spicy length. 90/100
Château Pichon-Longueville (Baron), 2nd growth 2004
Very dark, shiny crimson. There is an earthiness and dark, plummy quality here, with quite a nutty quality of fruit and some minerality. The palate has that same nutty character and a supple roundness of fruit. There is a bit of fruit sweetness lacking here, but I also suspect this sample is not the best. It has very dry structure and a sweetness does emerge. This has harmony without doubt but also quite a robust character that will become more supple. Second sample much sweeter and great length. Tentative score: 92-93/100
Château Pontet-Canet, 5th growth 2004
Very even, intense black colour. Muscular, solid, very dense nose. Rounded and very deep plummy fruit with a berry character and sweetness. Polished and deep wood notes add to a sense of darkness and richness. On the palate this has a delightful sweetness emerging. There is a really pure core of cassis and black cherry, and a mouthfilling weight of sweet, ripe tannins. Tannins here are beautifully managed, and the bite of cherry skin acidity adds lovely texture and clean grip. Long and harmonious, this is a little star. 93-94/100
Château Cos-Labory, 5th growth 2004
Vivid dark crimson. There is a little dry, inky charcoal note here, and very restrained, dry vinous fruit qualities. On the palate it has quite good, supple tannins that dry the mouth although the cherry and plum quality of fruit does have a sweetness. It has a slightly roughening, rustic quality to the tannins that is not unpleasant, and with cherry acidity the picture is quite grippy and robust. 88/100
Château Lafon-Rochet, 4th growth 2004
Very dense and deep colour. Lots of earthy, deep, sonorous fruit here, with an almost gamy quality that always shows through in this wine. Coffee and plummy fruit notes add lots of plumpness and weight. Creamy textured, this has a fine, bold and sweet fruit quality on the palate. There is depth and bittersweet stuffing, and with a bold, powerful, very grippy tannic quality pushing through against ripe blackberry-skin acidity, Lafon-Rochet has huge appeal this vintage. 94/100
Château Ormes de Pez, Cru Bourgeois 2004
Saturated, dense crimson. Bright cherry fruit, quite vinous with a dark, slightly inky quality. Bold fruit. There is a sweetness on the palate, and a harmonious sense of cherry fruit melding with generous cherry acidity and the tannins are very supple and polished. This is stylish and smooth-textured, with a very focused core of fruit, though perhaps is lacks just a touch of potential for real complexity at this stage. 90/100
Château Phélan-S�gur, Cru Bourgeois 2004
Very dense crimson. There are notes of espresso coffee and deep-set blackcurrant and plum fruit, with a certain composed, dark, muscularity. On the palate this is rich and chewy, with a dense texture and very muscular appeal; there is bite and a certain bittersweet roughness to the texture and the quality of bold, confident fruit. It is harmonious too, and the tannins have depth and a certain plush quality despite their power, in a long, balanced wine. A very good, powerful effort. 91/100.
