Do Payday Lenders Offer a Way Out or Just Enough Rope to Hang Yourself?
Kris Rudarmel
Throughout Utah, thousands of inventors tinker in their garages, while companies pour millions into R&D, all hoping to hit the jackpot. But the work's not done once you've yelled "Eureka!" The next step is to protect your invention and prevent what in pioneer days was known as claim-jumping. These days, that can be done by filing a patent.
Ideas Don't Count
A brilliant idea alone won't earn you a place next to Steve Jobs on the list of the world's richest people. For a patent, "You have to be able to describe [the invention] to a person with skill in the art how to make and use the invention," says Randall B. Bateman, a registered patent attorney and founder of Bateman IP.
"The biggest mistake that most small businesses make is not documenting things well," Bateman says. He suggests that all inventors keep notebooks to document each step of the process. In many companies, engineers create a log of their work, which their supervisor routinely reviews and signs. This becomes proof that can be submitted in court.
"The biggest flaw that a lot of small inventors do is they have what's affectionately known as the 'poor man's patent,' which is, they write their invention down and mail it to themselves," Bateman says. "The problem with doing that is that most inventors don't write down the full invention; they write very cryptic notes."
Those undecipherable notes won't stand up in court, he says. "In order to be enabling disclosure, it has to be enough that people can figure out what the invention is, how it works."
When to File
Although a patent application must detail exactly how an invention is made, a working model isn't necessary, Bateman says. "A lot of really ground-breaking inventions, they never get reduced to practice before they file the patent application. The engineers just figure out 'This will work,' and they file the patent application. They get around to building it later."
The time between dreaming up a breakthrough product and creating a working model can be long and filled with dead ends, especially with a competitor working to beat you to market. Right now, inventors do have some protection during this limbo: the United States is currently one of the few countries that is a "first to invent" patent jurisdiction rather than a "first to file." This means that if your competitor files a patent for your device, but you can prove that you had the idea first, you win.
However, "the recently passed America Invents Act will transition the United States to 'first to file' in March of 2013," says Bateman. "So this will impact any application filed after that date."
To prepare for this change, Bateman says inventors should get used to filing early—don't wait until the invention is perfect. "Early is going to be more and more important," he says. "If it works, then you file on it. At least get a provisional patent and make improvements after that." A provisional patent can buy an inventor some breathing room: 12 months, to be exact. After a year, the provisional patent will expire or the inventor can file for a non-provisional patent.
Most other countries are already "first to file" jurisdictions, so filing for a patent as soon as possible is essential if your invention has value in overseas markets, says Rick Nydegger, an intellectual property attorney and equity shareholder in Workman Nydegger.
Furthermore, most other countries have an "absolute novelty" requirement, meaning that "if you publish in any way, take your product to trade shows, or write an article, or make a sale at any time prior to your filing, you have lost the right to patent in the foreign country," Nydegger says.
This is not the case in the United States, which gives inventors 12 months to file for a patent after going public with an invention. However, Bateman advises companies and inventors to start complying with the "absolute novelty" requirement anyway. "Just get a provisional patent on file before marketing or otherwise publically disclosing the invention," he says.
Patent, or Not?
Patents are costly and time consuming, and many inventors fail to ask whether one will be necessary.
"So often, entrepreneurs and startups, in my experience, don't get adequate counseling about the fact that there's a difference between a patent and an asset," Nydegger says. He sometimes recommends that companies take their product to market without a patent and spend their time and energy continuing to innovate. This works particularly well in fields such as software applications, which evolve rapidly.

Invasion Of The Mysteron Killer Sounds in 3-D
Compiled by Kevin Martin (The Bug) and Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records)
Soul Jazz Records
Kevin Martin (aka The Bug) and Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records) have collaborated on a unique project bringing together new, exclusive and in-demand cutting-edge digital music by electronic futurists such Harmonic 313, Diplo, Roots Manuva, South Rakkas Crew and The Bug alongside music from the pioneering electronic scientific dub and radical producers of the Jamaican digital dancehall revolution in music - King Jammy, Steely and Clevie, Sly Dunbar, Prince Jazzbo, King Tubby, Dave Kelly, Firehouse Crew and many more.
Producer King Jammy learnt his trade under the greatest of all dub producers King Tubby, and this music constantly references back to the origins of dub - but whereas Tubby's revolution used echo-chambers and analogue tape-splicing, the Jamaican producers featured here were the first to use and embrace computer technology.
The double album comes in limited edition heavyweight deluxe hardcover 2-CD card-casing complete with a limited-edition graphic novel by Italian comic book designer Paolo Parisi (whose books include subjects as diverse as John Coltrane and Chernobyl). This specially commissioned graphic novel is a science-fiction vision of the future of digital music, featuring King Tubby, Steely and Clevie, Jammy, Jazzbo, complete with Alien Sound Lord Abductors, Aural Freedom Fighters and Digi-Dub Voyagers!
There are also two super-heavy, super-loud, deluxe gatefold double-vinyl editions (with the first copies also including a limited edition graphic-novel in volume 1 and a free poster in volume 2).
Invasion of the Killer Mysteron Sounds brings together the most exciting electronic producers in Jamaica with current sound artists in the UK and beyond who all create music based on revolutionary sounds in 3D – Dancehall, Digital and Dub.

How many meters is between the normal road and this HOV road?
Not normally. Normally it is simply a minimum restriction on the number of occupants of the vehicle. The theory being that there will be less pollution and less congestion with this incentive to carpool. Separation between a HOV lane and the normal road varies from the width of a painted stripe to tens of meters.

A couple weeks ago, on the Sunday of college football's opening weekend, an astute friend called me and asked why the Penn State game story was on the front page of the Courier-Post sports section and Temple was buried deep in the paper.
My explanation was because Penn State was national news since it was the first game since the Jerry Sandusky sex scandal and the death of Joe Paterno.

Fabricating colloidal crystals and construction of ordered nanostructures
Key Lab for Supramolecular Structure and Materials, College of Chemistry, Jilin University, Changchun, 130012, P.R. China
Nanoscale Research Letters 2006, 1:46-56 doi:10.1007/s11671-006-9008-6Published: 28 July 2006
Colloidal crystals of polymeric or inorganic microspheres are of extensive interest due to their potential applications in such as sensing, optics, photonic bandgap and surface patterning. The article highlights a set of approaches developed in our group, which are efficient to prepare colloidal crystals with ordered voids, patterned colloidal crystals on non-planar surfaces, heterogeneous colloidal crystals of different building blocks, colloidal crystals composed of non-spherical polyhedrons, and colloidal crystals of non-close-packed colloidal microspheres in particular. The use of these colloidal crystals as templates for different microstructures range from nanoscale to micron-scale is also summarized.

Port Isaac - map
Port Isaac - map
Once Port Isaac's fortunes lay in fishing and the cargoes of timber, pottery and coal shipped from the harbour, but in the last few years, the picturesque village's popularity as a 'must do' destination has been boosted by its starring role as the backdrop to the TV series Doc Martin and as the home to folk singing sensation Fisherman's Friends. The narrow winding streets, known as the drangs (one of them, known as Squeeze Belly Alley is said to be the narrowest street in the world), are lined with whitewashed cottages that head down to the harbour where you can watch local fishermen landing their daily catch of fish, crab and lobsters. On most Friday evenings you'll find the Fisherman's Friends striking up a tune near the seafront.

I love most seafood. Lobster, crab, shrimp, scallops- all favorites. But I was never a big fan of clams, especially the raw ones. And mussels – not so much either.
I LOVE moules marinières!
I had some last week while I was in Le Touquet, a really nice seaside resort in the North of France.
The recipe for moules marinières I know is simpler than yours: mussels, white wine, onions, celery and parsley.
But your recipe looks delicious too
Well, I am quite sure yours was better, since you had it it's birthplace. The Motherland, ifyou will! I always have to complicate matters. Actually, I think I need the extra flavorings because they are not my fav I will certainly give yours a try, too!
Also, where can I find pictures of your recent travels to the South of France?? Love to se them, dahling!
I don't have my own blog, so I'm not used to taking pictures of the places I visit. I buy postcards sometimes though… It was a short 3 day trip (I live near Paris).
You might already know that mussels are usually served with French fries in restaurants, and the flavors match perfectly well!!
Love love these too and linguine is a better idea than the "frites" we usually eat with moules
I have always seen them with frites in Franceor Frenchresto's here in theStates. And while I think that's cool and casual, I think the linguine classesit up a notch
Well, Isabelle, I think you are so lucky to life nearParis. And yes- Moules Frites are a tasty bistro dish! On that we can agree
I love moules marinières too!! My friend Sally in Norfolk cooked them for me..not sure of the whole recipe, but I know that she diced some leek, and some carrot, put in the wine then the Mussels..a few minutes later they were done, she put them on a big plate and the liquid into our soups bowls, and chucks of bread ..Tasty!..
Oh Anne, that sounds like a great recipe too!! And when someone else makes them for you, they always taste better
These pics are making my mouth water! I've never actually made mussels but think I'll order them next time I'm out!
Good morning, Robin!
I spent a long weekend in Venice where we had some of the best moules marinières ever, not to start raving about all that other fabulous seafood on our plates.
Thank you for mentioning my Venice postcard on Twitter -
there will be more over the course of the next days. I am still wrapped in my Venetian dreams.
Thanks to you I joined Twitter: I am "La_Merisi" – "Merisi" was already taken.
I think you should- and then come back and let me know how you liked them!!
Isn't it magical?! I love Venice as well. I think it is not hard to. Congrats on joining Twitter! I will be looking forward to following you and you thought on Venice
Hey Robin,
I also love moules and can't get enough of them when in France. Luckily, there are two restaurants here in Boulder, Colorado that serve fabulous moules so luckily I don't have to cook them myself.
Oh, you are lucky girl And I have yet to have them in France- only Quebec! Close enough though, right Ang?

November 28, 2015
An international group of astronomers may be planning to add three planets to the solar system.
No, it's not science fiction. It's a draft resolution set to be presented to the International Astronomers meeting Wednesday in Prague.
On the agenda is a universal definition of a planet.
If the resolution is passed next week, Pluto's largest moon and two other heavenly bodies would join the nine existing planets.
One, the asteroid Ceres, had been considered a planet in the 1800s, but was demoted. Some astronomers have suggested Pluto should be demoted as well.
But the current proposal would end that debate, by defining a planet as any round object that orbits the sun and meets a certain size.
The astronomers will hold two brainstorming sessions before voting on a resolution.

(Rated 1/5 based on 1 reviews) Login to add your review
I switched from gel to Garnier Fructis Pure Natural pomade/hair lotion type thing and I thought it was an improvement from the crunchy texture of gel in my hair. My local supplier ran out of that stuff so I picked this up, it was horrible!! I have 3b hair, EXTREMELY thick and partially course, an this stuff was quite literally hard wax, even tried diluting it with water and the water slid right over it because it was really solid. I tried putting it in my hair, also after trying to warm it up in my hands to no avail, and it zapped the moisture out of my hair and gave it a super, super crunchy, straw-like texture. My best friend even made a face when she touched my hair. DON'T BUY! I love Giovanni products, but this one's a total bust. When it says "adds extreme texture" on the label, it means your hair will feel like dry straw. : /

My head was spinning. Questions whirled in my mind. Should I have left? Woulg Jasmine hate me now?
I untangled myself from the blankets and bolted for a dumpster. Bile burned as it came up my throat. I clutched the side of the dupster to keep myself balanced.
My body ached all over. I knew it was because I tossed and turned all night. It was obvious from the blankets. I tried to take deep breaths to calm down. It worked for other people, so why not for me?
For a moment I wondered why I was getting sick. Then I knew it was frmo nerves. That's all it could have been. Or dehydration. I hadn't eaten or drank anything in the past couple of days. I was just so stressed out from trying to keep Jasmine away from the fighting and trying to fall through on my plan. It all just piled up on me.
I used the walls of the apartment buildings to keep me steady as a slowly made my way to my "bed". It made the most sense to clean up and wait for my legs to work right before I tried to go anywhere.
I folded up the blankets even though they were damp with sweat. A cold breeze passed over the alley. It helped clear my throat a little. I could breathe easier. I changed into a tank top to help cool off, and put on a little bit of deoderant. After I put my thirty bucks in my shoes, I rinsed my mouth out with a small bit of Listerene. Thank God I brought it with me.
My back hurt as I slowly got up. I knew I would eventually get used to sleeping on the ground, but for now, my body couldn't take it. I shoved my bag under a dumpster and convered it with dead leaves that were under there. Now no one could find my stuff unless they really went looking for it. I made sure to keep everything looking like it had before I got there. As for the puke, well.... They'd just think some drunk stumbled on back here and had a little problem.
Letting my hair out of it's sloppy pony-tail, I left the alley and tried to make myself look casual. It seemed the best way to do it. No one would really be able to tell me apart from many other people this way. I'd look like a woman trying to find a part-time job or something. A babysitter? Dog walker? Yeah, it worked.
The streets were already packed with people and taxi cabs. All of the noise made my head swirl for a minute. I'd never seen so many people in my life. And they all swarmed along in one big group. Like a current in the ocean.
I took one step into the street and felt a small sense of accomplishment. First stop: McDonald's. Second stop: CVS or Wallgreens. I needed to dye and cut my hair. Fast. The sooner I looked different the better. That way it would be more difficult for someone to spot me and rat me out if my parents did put up signs about my leaving. It was kind of like going incognito.
There were so many people I felt a little violated as I walked down the street. People nudged and jostled me with their elbows, to where they'd frequently touch my boobs. And some people would stop suddenly and bend over and I'd run right into their ass. It was uncomfortable, but eventually I learned to keep myself small and on the inside of the street. More people were on the outskirts of the side walk so they could cross the street or go in a building easier.
It was hard to find the McDonalds at first, but then once I found it my heart fluttered with relief. But then my only problem was trying to get there.
At first, people would carry me back along the current. Or I'd make it to the curb and then suddenly get sucked back in. Finally once I made it across the street, I'd gotten stuck in that current, too. On the bright side, though, this current was going in the direction I needed.
I stepped inside the McDonald's and sure enough my stomach sounded likea thunderstorm. I checked the menue for dollar items. I knew I had to keep it cheap, and they only had the breakfast menu. So I stepped up to the register.
"Hi, welcome to McDonald's, how may I help you?" droned a guy who had a dirty looking beard and bloodshot eyes. Someone had a little too much fun last night. Or they hadn't had their dose of the day yet.
"I'd like a sausage mcmuffin and a small orange juice." I said. My stomach growled again. "Please."
He rang me up and I propped myself against the counter so I could get my money out of my shoes. He looked at me like that was the weirdest thing he'd ever seen in his life. I scowled at him, and slapped three dollars down on the counter. He rolled his eyes and handed me my change. When he handed me my food I thought I was going to scream from excitement. It felt like I'd not eaten in months. I wasn't that bad. Yet.
I went over to a table for two and sat down. I tried not to eat my meal quickly. I knew that if you eat slower your body thinks it's full before it really is. Or something like that. The orange juice didn't taste so well with the aftertaste of the mouth wash, but it felt good going down my dry throat. I knew it wouldn't help to gulp that down, either, so I sat there for a couple minutes staring at my food since I had nothing else to do. And then I ate it with pleasure. Screw trying to make it last.
I stepped back onto the street feeling better than before. Maybe I really could do this. So far I hadn't seen any papers with my name on it or heard any rumors about a missing girl. Just crap about the economy. So for now, I would be okay.

Written by Miranda of Pocket Pause
I've read that moving, getting married and starting a new job are some of the biggest contributors to stress – and since I've been through them all, i can vouche for that statement.
I have moved so many times in the past few years that I've become somewhat of a pro – or at least have picked up a few tips that have helped me keep my sanity. If you're about to take on a move, big or small, this post may help you get through it without bursting into tears and leaving your husband or wife. Please, continue reading and feel free to leave us a comment with YOUR moving tips!
1. Pack Correctly
The starting point in any move is packing, and there are right and wrong methods. Tips for packing correctly include:
- Choose the right box: don't put all your books in the biggest box you can find. It will be too heavy. Keep heavy items in small boxes, fragile items in sturdy boxes.
- Pack it with padding: Wrap EVERY piece of china, every wine glass, every canning jar, etc. This may seem excessive but you'll be awfully bummed when you show up in your new house with a box full of broken glass. Newspaper or craft paper make perfectly acceptable wrapping. Bubble wrap or foam are even better, especially around the sides of the boxes.
- Pack like things together: Do NOT pack your shop solvents with your antique books. Pack by room, cupboard, and shelf. Pack things together that will ride easy together and that are destined for the same new storage space. This rule is most difficult to follow at the end of your packing spree. Do not be tempted to pack up all those last "odds and ends" from all over the house into one box just because they're all that's left. It will make unpacking a nightmare!
- Label your boxes thoroughly: "Kitchen" or "bedroom" seem like fine labels, but consider adding a priority rating (1 will be needed immediately, 2 isn't so crucial, 3 can really stay in storage until you're quite settled in. Also, jot down a few of the special items within the box – this will make finding "that one thing i need right now" so much easier once you're in your new home.
2. Start With a Clean Slate and Routine
If you were a bit lackadaisical with chores in your old home and hope to keep your new, clean home clean and new seeming- start off right! Keep a strict rule to avoid placing items that don't belong onto counters and tabletops. Consider setting up a 'set it here' area for items waiting to have their place. New routines are much harder to keep if you start out by breaking them. You might have piles of boxes everywhere, but at least they're tidy box piles. Whatever you want your new routine to be, start off by sticking to it and the habit will sink in more easily.
3. Keep To-Do Lists
If you weren't much of a list maker before, become one. When your house is covered in boxes, pending repairs, and small to large scale projects, that to-do list will keep you sane. Make a long list for the big projects, and smaller bite sized daily lists. Work through them a little at a time and do some "small victory" dances every once in a while.
4. Have Patience
This one is all mental, and the key to surviving a move. Nothing is going to go as smoothly as you'd like.
Your moving van will not be ready on time. Your friend will not show up to help shlep boxes the day he promised. The washer will not disattach from the wall and you will end up breaking off the faucet, spraying water everywhere. Yes, all these things JUST happened to me! What got me through it? Patience and a little faith that "this too will pass."
Be excited! You are moving into your new place! It's awesome! There will be snafoos along the way, but be patient with yourself and your family. You are all tired and feeling a little out of place and experiencing one of life's most stressful events. Exchange some hugs, offer a few backrubs and try to get some rest. This won't be easy, but it doesn't have to be miserable.
