"What do you people do in high winds? they are a pain to ride in."
"What do you people do in high winds? they are a pain to ride in."
At least riding in the drops on a road bike I wouldn't be as much of a nylon/lycra parachute.
If you're not riding with a psychedelic gecko on your shirt, you ARE having a substandard experience.
Oh, definitely. A few days ago I was thinking the same thing. Mash down on the pedal in lowest gear to try to make headway going downhill late two-thirds of the 7 miles to a training seminar gritting my teeth and thinking 'Need to get a bent.. a low bent.. and like, a small windshell..'
Getting off and man hauling is always an option in the icy season.
''On a bicycle you're not insulated. You're in contact with the landscape and all manner of people you'd never meet if you were in a car. A fat man on a bicycle is nobody's enemy.''
Tom Vernon.
I commuted 12 winters in Ottawa(40km round trip).+40 to -40 I'd ride it all.At least you can dress for -40.I would ride in snow storms,freezing rain.I enjoy how it challenges your riding ability.Really helps work on balance riding in icey conditions.The last winter I rode,I never went down once.Quite an accomplishment since it usually happens a couple of times.
I now live outside the city,way outside.So my commuting has changed quite a bit.Rural cycling is interesting but I'll leave that for another thread.44 days til the shortest day then it's bring on Spring.Ride on.TBG
My solution to high winds and my other winter commuter... it's a 1999 Trek 7500 Multitrack hybrid that I converted into what I would describe as a monster cross bike.
It now has a stiffer and stronger mtb drivetrain and runs a 2 by 8 drive that has a gear range from 29 to 109 gear inches...shifting duties are being handled marvelously by some vintage Suntour Barcon bar end shifters
The V brakes were replaced with Shimano cantis and Kool Stop salmon pads to give me the best stopping power possible in any conditions... the change to the Ritchey ergo bars required the change in brakes
The tyres are 700:35 Schwalbe CX Comp cross tyres and the bike hauls some serious ass on the road and is also able to handle light single track riding and has an astoundingly nice ride.
The salmon coloured cork is now covered with blue grey cloth tape... I loved the colour but that cork would end up looking like crap on no time and the cork was bought more for function than fashion.
My cloth tape is Renfrew hockey tape... it's as good a quality as Cat Eye cloth and you get 3 times as much for the same price and it is designed to be used in cold weather.
Nice winter biike!No fenders?My winter bike is a generic mtn bike I pulled out of the garbage and threw on a set of fenders,and changed the handlebars.Nothing fancy but it runs ok.I build a bike for the winter because by spring it's usually trashed.Why wreck the good stuff,eh?
As for riding into the wind,that's when(and I'm not ashamed to admit it)I use the granny gear.

My riding gear protects me from most of the slush and road cocktails but I am looking for the right fenders for this bike...I'll probably opt for some quick release models as the bike does see some off road use.
I actually don't pay much attention to the numeric temperature. I just step outside to get a feel for how cold and windy it is on any given day. Then I go from there. My guess is that the teens and the low 20s are the more common temps that I ride in. I do think of where I live as a place that gets "serious" winter.
I feel like I've never known cold reading these stories. The coldest I've experienced in UK is -8C with 22mph wind. I get the temperature from a probe outside our window rather than off the tv or internet as they are always way out from where I am. I would like to see it get a bit colder this year so I can test out my windstopper a bit.
I've just remembered a job I had at a bacon factory which had a chill blast room that was between -18C and -22C which felt really cold on an open forklift truck at 10mph, but then again I was just sitting there doing no excercise so I could only do it for 30 minutes at a time. Then I would go outside where it was -2C to warm up.
I'll be riding through my first winter this year. I do live in the Buffalo NY area so we get plenty of lake effect snow. It tends to only be in the single digits for a few morning each year (maybe a week or two). Most of the time it tends to be a bit below freezing. The biggest issue will be dealing with the snow banks and making sure there is enough room on the road to ride with reasonable safety.
Happy riding,
MN rider here. Recreation on the weekends with my cyclocross bike and frozen lakes
and trails with my Surly Pugsley. During the week, try to commute most every day.
Using the cyclocross or my rigid fork mtb.
that I've used all the time in the past. It's got big fat studded tires. It's fine for ice, -not so fine for slop where it floats and slides on top. It's also tiring for longer distances.
If you're not riding with a psychedelic gecko on your shirt, you ARE having a substandard experience.
I've had a couple of seasons where I rode straight though but that was a while ago. Feels positively tropical here in Massachusetts compared to most of you!
Winter winds aren't a problem most days I wear windproof pants, nylon ski pullover, balaclava, ski goggles and gloves.
light snow and dryconditions. If it gets icy, I have a Nokian studded tire for the front. I use my hardtail
MTB for when there is two or three inches of new snow. I have a Nokian studded tire on the front as well, so also for a ice storm type of weather I also use the MTB. Hope that helps.
Whole rig is 1 - 2 mph slower than my regular commuter but hope it works well on ice/snow..have 10 miles each way mostly hills..St Paul to Eagan MN.
Wind? I just go to granny and go slower..high winds or gusts in the forecast and I drive...hate to go backwards or get blown over....
I am in Hibbing, MN. Last year I studded up some tires and did laps on the lake.
The thing about really really cold weather is that its pretty unlikely the wind will blow when it gets down below -40F, the reason it gets to -40F is that some super cold air is stalled and sits in one place, if the wind would blow it would actually get warmer.
A little prep and its not too difficult to get along when its silly cold but things do tend to break more, metal things.
This winter has been a piece of cake so far, about 1 foot of snow on the ground and moderate temps
St. Cloud, MN here.
Riding a Bianchi Milano. Second winter, going a shorter distance though.
Can't wait!
i find it interesting that a lot of you are from the states, and hardly anyone from say, toronto like me (which is about the same latitude)... from my perspective, "north" starts about 5 hours from here.
"Never do anything that you wouldn't want to have to explain to the paramedics."
"His first words were 'did you bike today?' I hesitated before admitting that I had, thinking I was going to get a lecture on how bad the roads were and how I shouldn't try to bike home. Instead he said 'man, you're lucky! I've been sitting in traffic for over 1/2 hr, and I've only gone about 2 miles. Some guy on a bike passed me about 20 minutes ago and I'm sure he's home by now'."
Hit -36 celcius in Saskatoon today. Wasn't too bad though, not too much snw so the ride is still pretty fast. They are talking about 5cm of snow tomorrow so it should be a fun ride.
Winter has finally hit us although we aren't as cold as the guys just east of us...
On the ride home it was -17 C with a wind chill making it like -27 and thankfully...the wind was at my back for the 10 km I rode.
The coolest thing (no pun intended) was that the bike co-op I volunteer at was really busy despite the cold.

We bought Diciotto from a local family in 2004 and since that time we have renovated and updated the house doing much of the work ourselves, trying to be faithful to its character but adapt it for modern living. This truly is a house for all seasons, from being a mediterranean sun trap, watching as the olives and grapes mature, to a cosy continental winter retreat enjoying the snow on the mountains and bright blue days. It is a simple, comfortable, very Italian home which people fall in love with.
|Further details outdoors

On the terrace there is a circular dining table and chairs for complete al fresco living.
|Further details
- We have an English speaking representative in Loreto Aprutino that can help you resolve any problems.
- There is more information in the Holiday folder at Diciotto, about shopping, places of interest, eating out and the nuts and bolts of staying in Italy.
Abruzzo has everything - A wild rugged, romantic part of Italy, with 3 mountainous National Parks of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This area is known as the 'Green Heart of Europe' with its largest area of National park and home to the Appenine's highest peak (Corno Grande 2912 metres)
The Adriatic Abruzzese coastline is a gorgeous mix of rocky coves and cliffs and miles of blissful sandy accessible beaches, with many awarded the european clean water Blue Flag. The region is a rich cultural mix of sophisticated cities offering the full compliment of Italian designer shopping and charming traditional towns and villages. There is a wealth of ancient architectural gems and quirky follies and wild life that really is 'wild', with Marsican bears and Abruzzese wolves.
This is a perfect area for cycling, walking and seeing as much of the breathtaking countryside at close quarters as possible. In the winter Abruzzo has ski slopes for all abilities over a prolonged season.
This area is littered with places of historic interest, some of them are in the most spectacular and dramatic locations. Here are a few of them, but there are masses more.
Alba Fucens - is the Abruzzo Colosseum, a Roman Amphitheatre near the hill top town of Albe.
Rocca Calascio - The remains of the highest mountaintop fort in Italy (1460 metres above sea level).
Santo Stefano di Sessanio - A living restored C16 hill village with a "chess piece"watchtower.
And all this is within easy driving distance of Diciotto - makes you think doesn't it?
( More about Abruzzo:- www.abruzzoturismo.it )
Loreto Aprutino is a self-contained, thriving ancient town with its own identity and considerable charm. It has all the amenities necessary including shops, banks, bars and restaurants around the main piazza. Up in the Centro Storico area there are artisan workshops, museums, a regional theatre and for those who want more informal entertainment a makeshift 'outdoor film show,' showing a random film of the day in a small open field - in Italian of course!
This is a small community with the local economy based on wine (Montepulciano d'Abruzzo) and olives, and there is evidence of this everywhere, with a great deal of local pride in the exquisite olive oil.
If you are making your own 'Grand Tour' of Italy there are excellent road and rail links into Abruzzo. Loreto Aprutino and Diciotto can be a pivotal starting or finishing point, allowing you to relax and recharge batteries while enjoying the very best of Italy .

Hi all
Just noticed that my web space error log is throwing out errors due to individual pages looking for a javascript. Now, the script works fin on the main index page but not on each individual page.
The script is for fading links called fader.js
So, my question is this...Can I add script type="text/javascript" src="fader.js"></script to anywhere else so that it appears in each individual post?
Is it appropriate to do so or am I best off without the js?
Thanks for looking in.

Venue: The Pearl
4321 W. Flamingo Rd.
Las Vegas, NV
Show Dates: October 31, 2014
Show Times: 8pm
Age Restriction: 6
Show Length: 90 minutes
$48.65 - $90.60
English synth-pop duo Erasure (formed by Vince Clarke, formerly of Depeche Mode fame, and vocalist Andy Bell) will rock The Pearl at the Palms Hotel and Casino on Oct. 31 with The Violet Flame tour in support of their newest album of the same name.
Formed in 1985 Erasure is one of the most successful and long running acts in British pop. The band released their first album, "Wonderland," in 1986 and the record's follow up, "Sometimes," shortly after, which launched a string of successful singles in the United Kingdom.
Erasure hit fame in the U.S. in 1988 with the single "Chains of Love" from the album "The Innocents" and began to grow their dedicated fan base outside of their native Britain. The single, "A Little Respect," was also a hit with American fans and reached No.14 on the charts. More studio releases followed as the band's cult following continued to grow.
In 1992, Erasure released "Pop! The First 20 Hits," a compilation of the band's top singles. In 1994, "I Say I Say I Say" was released marking the group's fifth studio album. "I Say I Say I Say" featured the single "Always," which was the first hit for Erasure in the U.S. since their breakout in 1988. The 1992 release of "Abba-esque" helped lead a revival in interest of the band ABBA. They followed up with a self-titled release in 1995 and the album "Cowboy" in 1997.
Additional releases including, live albums, cover albums and others followed, and in 2009 they released "Total Pop! - The First 40 Hits," which contained not just their hits, but a remix of hit single "Always" by producer Jeremy Wheatley. In 2011 Erasure released "Tomorrow's World" which was followed in 2013 with the Christmas album "Snow Globe."
"The Violet Flame," recorded in New York and London and produced by Richard X, will be released on Sept. 23, 2014 and is the band's 16th studio album.
From 1986 to 2007, Erasure had 24 consecutive Top 40 hits in the United Kingdom and 3 Top 20 hits in the U.S. (on the Billboard Hot 100): "A Little Respect" "Chains of Love" and "Always." The English synth-pop duo is still considered a cult band despite their popularity in the UK, Europe and South America. To date, they have sold more than 25 million albums.

I just picked up a Bianchi San Jose (first road bike!) today, and brought it home. I didn't notice anything wrong when I took it for a test ride at the shop, but after a while when I was riding, I heard the brake on the back wheel rubbing and it looks like it might be out of true.
The car rack I put the bike on to bring it home attaches at the front fork and uses a strap around the back wheel-- is it possible that I bent the wheel bringing it home? I'm definitely calling up my LBS tomorrow, but I'm just curious if this is damage that I might've caused.

Hello everybody
Recently I have set up a shiny new Zimbra 5.01 system on ubuntu 6.06 running und vmware-server 1.04. I runs very nice.
Then I saw the wiki article by Greg describing how to create a single sign on solution by adding posix and samba accounts to the Zimbra admin ui.
I really like the idea to combine these things in one nice administration interface (sofar I was using linbox directory server for the unix/windows accounts)
I followed the guide as precise as possible. One major deviation is that I did not add the samba schema inclusions in slapd.conf.in but in the real slapd.conf. because there was no slapd.conf.in. I checked wheter the inclusions were still present after reboot and this was indeed the case.
(4.5 - 5.0 difference?)
I setup a samba file server in another virtual machine (ubuntu gutsy + samba 3.0.26a) and used the samba.schema from this install on the zimbra machine.
Then I ran into the same problem as described by antonmb here: http://www.zimbra.com/forums/install...html#post44744
The sambadomain is not automatically added to the ldap tree.
here is the result for the net getlocalsid command on the fileserver
I checked my samba log file and found the following entries:Code:root@fileserver:~# net getlocalsid [2008/01/21 19:40:05, 0] lib/smbldap_util.c:smbldap_search_domain_info(286) smbldap_search_domain_info: Adding domain info for BBDBEHEER.NET failed with NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL SID for domain FILESERVER is: S-1-5-21-1220456624-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx
It seems to be able to make contact with the zimbra ldap server, but something goes wrong with adding the sambadomain to the tree.Code:tail -n 200 /var/log/samba/log.smbd ... ... Becoming a daemon.

I'm struggeling for 2 days now with this problem and I still cannot get the thing to work. I tried several things, including different sambadomain names and changing the ldap passwords, but nothing seems to work.
I would really appreciate all suggestions or help!

MNGOP Rep. Steve Gottwalt resigns after second recent conflict-of-interest controversy
Gottwalt and DFL Rep. Terry Morrow have both announced their resignation from the legislature for private sector jobs since November's election.
Yesterday, news broke that Rep. Steve Gottwalt, R-St. Cloud, was taking a full-time job with the Minneapolis-based Center for Diagnostic Imaging, a registered lobbying associating.
While it's certainly not a good look for a legislator to be working simultaneously for a lobbying association, initial reports, citing comments made by MNGOP House spokeswoman Susan Closmore, indicated Gottwalt planned to continue serving in the legislature.
SEE ALSO: MNGOP Sen. David Hann chairs Health Committee, didn't disclose health insurance job
But by evening time, Gottwalt had reconsidered. He sent a letter to fellow House members informing them his new gig is "more than a full time job, and one that will not allow me the time I need to represent the people of District 14A as their State Representative."
Before Gottwalt announced his resignation, Elisabeth Quam, executive director of CDI Imaging, told the Star Tribune that Gottwalt would be working as a health care policy analyst for 27 states, not including Minnesota. The St. Cloud Times, citing information from the Minnesota House Research Department, reported yesterday that the House has a rule against members accepting compensation for lobbying, but only if that lobbying occurs inside the state.
Yesterday afternoon wasn't the first time in recent months Gottwalt raised eyebrows with a conflict-of-interest controversy. In December, we told you about how some DFL legislators wanted an ethics committee to look into the fact that Gottwalt and Sen. David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, were serving on the Health and Human Service Committee -- the body tasked with regulating insurance companies -- while working as associates with Boys and Tyler Financial Group, a company that sells health insurance.
MPR reports that Governor Dayton will call a special election to replace Gottwalt, who was first elected to the House in 2006. Gottwalt says his resignation will be complete by the end of the month.

Soveren Solar, a Westminster company, is going to start construction in the spring on a 150 kilowatt solar farm in North Springfield, and company founder Peter Thurrell said he is finalizing land leases in Townshend and Westminster, and at least one other location, for his other community solar farms.

"The loan will be used to provide the group members with an irrigation pump with a capacity of 300 cubic meters per hour, which can irrigate 10 hectares of land. The pump will be managed by a maintenance person who will take charge of ensuring its good working condition. The team overseeing this project will make regular visits to all the fields where the pump is being used, and as soon as the first harvests begin we will start to collect the loan repayment without any difficulty."

Senegal is one of the world's poorest countries, yet its solid democratic tradition and highly developed associational life distinguish it from other countries in its income group. Especially remarkable are Senegal's networks of rotating savings and credit associations, which provide the rural poor throughout the country with small loans to finance modest income-generating activities. Repayment rates within these groups are excellent, because they are based on local reputation and personal trust between the members. However, their financial resources are limited to the contributions of their members, frequently subsistence farmers with very little disposable income. This has prevented the traditional associations from meeting the demand for rural microenterprise loans and restricted their impact on the economic development of their communities. Senegal Ecovillage Microfinance (SEM) works with our partner organization CRESP to bridge this gap by linking traditional village credit associations with outside sources of finance.

"The most beautiful place on earth" Antarctica by Veghel

Although I've just visited six (out of seven) continents, I am very confident to say that Antarctica is the most beautiful one on earth. The scenery, the animals, the silence, the colors... everything is impressive, amazing, unbelievable.
This is a picture of me (standing in the back), another traveller on our ship (Louis from Cape Town, sitting in the front) and a penguin. The picture was made on Cuverville Island.

You've done a great job on your Antarctica page. Great tips!

Examples of Metaphors?
This question has been answered · 101 replies
Guest:what are metaphors? - Can you give me some examples?
Full article: Examples of metaphors
Approved answer (verified by Punkybrewster)
What is a metaphor ?
Definition of a metaphor
1. A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in "a sea of troubles" or "All the world's a stage" (Shakespeare).
2. One thing conceived as representing another; a symbol: "Hollywood has always been an irresistible, prefabricated metaphor for the crass, the materialistic, the shallow, and the craven" (Neal Gabler).
Examples of metaphors
Life is a journey, purposes are destinations, means are routes, difficulties are obstacles, counselors are guides, achievements are landmarks, choices are crossroads..
A lifetime is a day, death is sleep; a lifetime is a year, death is winter..
Life is a struggle, dying is losing a contest against an adversary..
Life is a precious possession, death is a loss..
Time is a thief..
Guest:That is correct. 'As pale as the moon' is a simile not a metaphor. The metaphor version would be 'Her face was the moon', which doesn't make too much sense.
A simile makes a comparison, usually using 'like' or 'as'. A metaphor directly describes something in a way that it isn't in a literal sense.
For example
'The goalkeeper was as solid as a rock' - simile
'The goalkeeper was a rock' - metaphor.
Guest:The two are very similar. They are both nominal figurative statements that largely serve the same purpose. You say " The only difference is the word "like."" and while this is true, the difference in words is small but the difference is meaning is huge.
The difference is reflected in the way we feel after we read the words. Many times metaphors portray deeper meaning for the reader.
As for the second part of your response, using a simile and using the term "metaphorically speaking" is technically incorrect because it's simply redundant. People will use a metaphor and add "metaphorically speaking" to assure the listener that they are speaking figuratively not literally. When they use a simile it's already clear that it's figurative.
Someone could say:
"Your brother is a pig" then say "metaphorically speaking" to clear up the fact that we don't literally think the brother is a pig.
When we say "Your brother is like a pig" the word "like" clears up the fact that we don't think he is a literal pig. Thus adding "metaphorically speaking" would only be redundant.
This is why I said it's techinically incorrect.
Metaphor - a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in drowning in money) (Webster)
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances;
The world is like a stage
It is as if people were like actors
they come and go as though they were entering or leaving a stage.
"You are the sunshine of my life"
"her presence warmed the room like the sun"
I guess I am trying to really understand metaphorically speaking how to apply a couple situations regarding my life, family or friends. It seems now that I have a class starting soon, I need to write at least 5 examples of different metaphors.
I just need an example or two to get me to thinking.
Example: I walked up on my so call friend as she was advancing sexual gestures at my husband. Her face was pale as the moon. As...
Guest:I thought a metaphor was a direct comparison between two things that does not use "like" or "as"????
Guest:give me some more examples of metaphors?
"Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is sound, your whole body is full of light; when it is not sound, your body is full of darkness."
"For if men do these things when the tree is green what will happen when it is dry?"

Hi Cazz, Great photos, a part of the world I have not visited, fascinates me. We are thinking of visiting Morocco next year
Great Tunisian town. Cheers, SL
Nice page Cazz. I really liked El Jem, one of the highlights of our Tunisia trip.
Quite an interesting place you found here in Tunisia. I too am always impressed at what the Romans were able to build - and much of it has survived for 2000 years!
Interesting tip; about having to purchase a ticket to bring your camera inside the colliseum. Who'd have guessed? Looks like an interesting place to visit (Tunisia in general).
Nice Page Carol... Thanks for info .....
Let me be the first to congratulate you on your El Jem page :-))

text: Posted 13 Feb 2013 Seems there is a debate between two sides. I firmly believe that the state funding was in the best interest of the state, the Panthers, and the people. The Panthers over the life of the team has been good to the city especially from an economic perspective. They've provided a lot of economic cash flow through the city, much more then what they're receiving. I think Jerry Richardson tried to hold off as long as he could, but with his health it's the only way he can bind the team to city. I think those who oppose the funding might not understand the full scale of the microeconomics at play here. For example, if the Panthers packed their bags a lot of pubs, sports bars, restaurants would take a significant financial hit. Sports bars rely on football for survival, and the Panthers leaving would turn away a lot customers and put a lot of employees at risk. I would think most Huddlers on here feel the same way as well.

Betaworks' John Borthwick has today announced, via the company blog, that Gerry Laybourne will be joining the board of directors.
Alongside co-founding Kandu, a betaworks-backed technology company for kids, Laybourne is also known as one of the most powerful women in television.
She started out at Nickelodeon in the 80′s and 90′s, conceiving of classic children's shows such as Rugrats, The Secret World of Alex Mack, and Pepper Ann.
After more than a decade at Nickelodeon, she founded Oxygen Media in 1999 and served as Chairman and CEO until she sold the company to NBC Universal in 2007.
Her latest venture, Kandu, lets people build their own games and software applications without any knowledge of how to code. It hasn't launched yet, but we can glean a bit from the company's about page:
It's not okay that only a small number of people can make software. It's as if only a few could write at a time when reading was taking off — precisely the situation in the 15th century when the moveable press was first invented. After the invention of the book, it took hundreds of years for literacy to spread. At Kandu, we don't think it should take hundreds of years for people to become literate in the creation of software.
betaworks has always been focused on media of all shapes and sizes, whether its Digg or Dots. Most recently, the New York-based company hired Branch Media founder Josh Miller as a part-time venture partner. Laybourne, on the other hand, brings more traditional experience to the team.
Laybourne joins current betaworks board members Mike Buckley, Ken Lerer, Paul Cappuccio, Stu Ellman, Eric Martineu-Fortin, John Drizik, and John Borthwick.

One of the original architects of the Internet wants to remind us that privacy is a relatively new concept. "Privacy is something which has emerged out of the urban boom coming from the industrial revolution," said Google's Chief Internet Evangelist and a lead engineer on the Army's early 1970′s Internet prototype, ARPANET. As a result, 'privacy may actually be an anomaly," he told a gathering of the Federal Trade Commission.
Looking back at history, Cerf is mostly right.
Up until the 19th century, most houses had few or no internal walls. Bathing was a public act. For most of the post-Roman era, the very concept of "solitude" was limited to clergy, who dedicated their lives to private worship. "Intercourse, birth, death, just about every aspect of the life cycle plays out with some sort of audience," architectural historian Bernard Herman explained to me.

One of the main changes resulting from the passage of the America Invents Act (AIA) is the transition of U.S. patent law from a "first-to-invent" system to a "first-to-file" system on March 16. With the transition a mere four weeks away, it is important to understand what this change to the patent system means for inventors and companies.
Before addressing first-to-file, it is important to understand how the first-to-invent system, which we've operated under for the last 200 years, works. Under the first-to-invent system, when two or more inventors file a patent application for the same invention, the patent office should identify and award the patent to the inventor who was first to conceive and diligently reduce the invention to practice, even if (subject to some limitations) the first inventor was not the first to file a patent application. An example helps illustrate this system:
In this scenario, inventor A would be entitled to receive the patent on her widget even though inventor A filed her patent application after inventor B. Inventor A may need to "swear behind" inventor B's patent application by showing documentation regarding her earlier invention date of the widget, and that she diligently worked to actually or constructively "reduce the invention to practice" (constructive reduction to practice can be shown by preparing and filing the patent application). Under the first-to-invent system, inventor B would not receive a patent on the invention.
The first-to-file system being implemented on March 16, 2013, attempts to further harmonize U.S. patent law with that of most of the rest of the world by de-emphasizing the actual invention date.
A lot of informed people think that the change to first-to-file will be a boon to patent trolls because they will be able to file patent applications on inventions released, but not yet filed on, by underfunded startups. However, the term "first-to-file" is a bit of a misnomer. In the United States, whether under first-to-invent or first-to-file, an inventor can publicly disclose their invention, such as in a blog post, and still file a patent application within one year of that public disclosure. The system being implemented under the AIA is not a true first-to-file system as in most foreign countries because this grace period on public disclosure will remain. Thus, the new system can really be considered a "first-to-disclose" system.
Inventors can attempt to market and sell their inventions and still file for a patent in the United States within one year of the first public disclosure. However, they would not be able to pursue patents for the previously disclosed invention in most foreign countries, because foreign countries that operate on the first-to-file standard typically do not have this grace period for public disclosure. In these foreign countries, a public disclosure prior to filing a patent application is an absolute bar on receiving a patent on the disclosed invention.
Taking the disclosure grace period into account, under the first-to-file/first-to-disclose system being implemented on March 16, the key question to consider is not when an invention was first conceived as in the first-to-invent system, but rather when the invention was first publicly disclosed by another inventor or first filed with the USPTO. Thus, while an inventor can publicly disclose his invention and still file a patent application with the USPTO within one year of the disclosure, that disclosure would prevent any other inventor from receiving a patent on the same invention, even if the other inventor invented the same invention before the disclosure.
Similarly, if no previous disclosure was made, a filing at the USPTO by a later inventor would entitle that later inventor to a patent even though a second inventor came up with the invention earlier than the second inventor's filing date. An example will better illustrate this scenario:
In this scenario, Inventor B would receive the patent, even though inventor A came up with the invention for the widget first. Inventor A would therefore be prohibited from practicing the invention patented by inventor B even though he came up with the invention before Inventor B did.
Now consider a second, somewhat modified scenario:
In this modified scenario, Inventor A would be entitled to the patent even though Inventor B filed his patent application first because Inventor A disclosed the invention before Inventor B filed his patent application. Therefore, because Inventor A filed the patent application within one year of his public disclosure, Inventor A will be entitled to receive the patent. Inventor B would therefore be prohibited from practicing the invention patented by Inventor A.
In the case that a person learns of an invention that another inventor disclosed, copies the idea and attempts to file a patent application under first-to-file, the copier could not receive a valid patent on the invention by simply filing the patent application first because he did not "invent" the invention and is therefore not entitled to receive patent protection (though if the USPTO grants a patent to a non-inventor, the burden of proof would be on the other party to show that the non-inventor was not the true inventor of the patented technology).
Similarly, the non-inventor could not prevent the inventor from receiving a patent by publicly disclosing the invention based on information obtained from the inventor because in this case, the inventor will still retain the one-year grace period to file a patent application on the invention.
There are a number of ways companies can prepare for the implementation of first to file. While it is always best to file patent applications as soon as possible, prior to implementation of first-to-file, companies should consider whether provisional applications should be filed to secure first-to-invent filing dates. Companies should also develop processes for quickly identifying inventions, and deciding whether to patent, disclose or otherwise protect those inventions.
Filing a provisional or non-provisional patent application with the USPTO prior to March 16 is the only way to ensure that the application will be treated under the first-to-invent regime. While it is preferable to file non-provisional applications to ensure that the claims of the patent application are fully supported by the description in the specification, if budget and timing does not allow for a non-provisional application to be filed by March 16, great care should be taken in preparing provisional applications (which do not require claims) to ensure that the invention and any known variations are disclosed in full detail.
It is important to take great care to fully describe the technology and all known variations in detail, because if the provisional application is converted after the March 16 changeover date, any claim directed to disclosure that was not supported by the original "first-to-invent" provisional application will be treated under the first-to-file regime.
After its implementation on March 16, first-to-file will present unique challenges and opportunities for inventors and businesses. Well-timed disclosures of inventions can block better-funded competitors from receiving patents. However, delaying the patent application or disclosure process can result in forfeiting of patent rights by exposing the application to more prior art. Even worse, delaying disclosing or filing a patent application can allow a competitor to file a patent application on the same technology even though they invented it later.
Therefore, companies should look to establish processes to quickly and efficiently identify inventions, and to determine whether to file patent applications or to otherwise publicly disclose those inventions. If the technology is worthy of patent protection, filing a series of low-cost provisional applications during the course of development of the technology can be a cost-effective way to establish a series of early "first-to-file" filing dates for the technology.
On the other hand, if it is decided that an invention is not worth immediately filing a patent application for, publicly disclosing the invention should prevent others from receiving patents on the same technology. But the decision to publicly disclose an invention before filing a patent application should not be taken lightly. Public disclosure prior to filing a patent application will likely cause foreign patent rights to be forfeited. In the case of software, which is not patentable in most foreign patent systems, this is not a problem. Therefore, disclosures for software-based inventions can be an ideal way to create prior art for others without the trade-off of forfeiting any patent rights that a company would otherwise be entitled to.

In a single afternoon, residents can learn how a proper cup of tea is more than just hot water and a tea bag.
They can be taught how to recycle just about everything, and how to give a speech that everyone remembers. Belly dancing, taekwondo and tai chi are all available to explore.
The Greenwood Public Library will become a clearinghouse for all sorts of information when it hosts its How-To Fair next week. The event brings together more than 30 presenters from around central Indiana to give instruction on a wide range of topics.
"We're just hoping to present a whole bunch of fun, new things to learn," said Aubrey Watson, reference librarian at the library. "We have a few that are library-related, but mostly it's a community event to come together with others who can share things they can do."
The idea for the How-To Fair evolved after library officials heard of a similar program at libraries on the East Coast. Since the library already is a place for learning in the community, Watson said, why not expand education efforts and include topics people might not be able to find in a book? With the plan for the fair set, organizers went to work figuring out what to spotlight. In almost all cases, they came up with concepts and skills that they thought people would be interested in, then worked to find experts to teach and discuss them.
"Over and over, we kept saying, 'It would be cool if we could learn to do this, I had no idea how to do this thing,'" Watson said. "Some of it was community members who we knew of, who had this skill we thought would be useful."
The result is a mix of tangible skills and abstract concepts that people can check out.
Dr. Charles Thomas, owner of Chateau Thomas Winery and a Greenwood resident, will help people learn about the health benefits of a glass of wine. Indiana Working Dogs owner Greg Hollen will give instruction on how to train your dog.
Ron Weber, from Boy Scout Troop 263, will provide information on how to go camping and hiking properly, while area resident Phil Wilson gives his take on being the "ultimate Colts fan."
For the presenters, the fair is a fun opportunity to meet new people and give a greater understanding about their life's passion.
Ronda Valentine, who owns Sweetcakes by Ronda in Indianapolis, will demonstrate how to properly frost a cake. When library organizers contacted her about taking part in the fair, she jumped at the chance.
"It's a great idea. I used to teach cake decorating classes, but those cost money and take four weeks. This is a short two-hour session," she said. "Cakes are so popular right now, it's something that people want to learn about."
Local artist Patty Coulter, who specializes in calligraphy, will have her pads, inks and pens available for people to try out their own fancy script.
She was looking forward to not just interacting with other people but seeing what kinds of other skills would be on display.
"It sounds like a very interesting event for the community, to come and learn to do many different things," Coulter said.

I purchased laminate flooring from lumber liquidators and used their installers. A few weeks after installation I noticed the edges peeling. I contact the store manager in Knoxville, TN (where we purchased) and he told me to contact customer service. I did. No help at all. Then I contacted the president of lumber liquidators. He did not send a representative nor the installers to look at the problem, which I asked him to do. I took photos of the defects on the installed floor, photos of the label on the box of laminate, etc. I got nothing but what I did wrong: 1. I spilled water or some other liquid on the floor (which I did not) 2. An animal must have used the bathroom on the floor (did not happen) 3. There is too much moisture in the air (there is moisture in every air...they should label.."do not put on floors with moisture in the air) 3. It is improperly installed (lumber liquidators installers installed it).
They agreed to pay $250 to help with repair and I had to sign about 3 pages of releases to not hold lumber liquidators responsible. Now, the floor is peeling everywhere and in some places the top layer is coming completely off!!!
I talked with a friend in Chattanooga that bought the same flooring in a different color and she is having the same problem!!
What can I do? My entire flooring needs to be replaced. Funny though the laminate that I purchased for $.99 per sq. ft. at a wholesale warehouse 6 years ago is doing just fine!!!

What brand was your flooring?? I have Columbia clicette laminate installed in March 2014 and it is peeling.
I had Columbia Laminate installed and one year later it is peeling at some of the edges. Possible delamination? I would not recommend Columbia products. Also, instead of having a subcontractor install the product, I would go with a big box store. You have a lot more recourse with them. I had Lowes install my first laminate (purchased from them) and the product AND install were flawless.
