By the way there is a movie that just came out in the theater which was first shown in Texas and I am awaiting for it to come to NY. It is called "Final: The Rapture". The title is self explanatory as to what it is about. Oct 31, 2013

A shopper asked: I also live in the UK will I be able to get it and play it in our region? Mar 9, 2012
Pete and Kathy D: DVD's viewed in UK are usually Region 2 format. If you have a multi-region DVD player, then yes, very likely. But unless the movie is released also as a Region 2 as well as a Region 1 copy, you probably won't be able to view it. The US is Region 1. You should contact John Hagee Ministries via their web site and ask if they know whether it will be released in Region 2 format. People who read John Hagee's books live all over the world so even if it won't be released right away in a format you can view, if people in other parts of the world ask, maybe multi-region copies would be released. Mar 31, 2012
Reply to Pete and Kathy Good answer? Yes (1) No (0)
Robert F: It all depends on the laws of the UK. Personally i don't see a problem why you can't just go online to Christian Cinema and order this DVD. I am looking forward to watching this movie, April 10th won't come soon enough. Time is running out on this planet, we as believers need to keep warning people that Christ is coming very soon. Keep looking up. Mar 20, 2012

Steve P asked: When will this movie be able to be bought on DVD? Sep 30, 2011
Kelly R: Hi Steve:
Apparently this movie will be able to be bought on DVD early next year. I am really looking forward to this movie! I purchased this movie and then Christian Cinema sent back a email saying this movie will not be coming out like they thought because whoever made this movie decided that they would wait until early next year to release it. So I asked Christian Cinema to refund my account which I hope they will do shortly. Oct 6, 2011

A shopper asked: Do you have user reviews for this film? Apr 22, 2012
Phillip P: It has one of the best rapture or if not the best rapture scene in an end times
movie. The acting is superb as compared to cheesy acting in The Moment After, Six, etc. It is my favorite of all prophecy movies.
Order of my preferences:
1. Jerusalem Countdown
2. Left Behind series
3. Tbn's Omega code series.
I would definitely recommend buying it. Apr 22, 2012

A shopper asked: I have a comment. Even though I have not seen the movie, the trailer give a great idea of what the movie is about. It also gives a possible depiction of whtat the tribulation can look like, with one slight error. We all will be apart of the tribulation. Unfortunately we were all lied to, THIERE WILL BE NO PRE-TRIBULATION RAPTURE. Read the Scriputures for yourself. You will see that Yeshua( Jesus) says we should not believe it when people will tell us that He will come in secret. When He comes it will literally split the universe open, then He will send out His angels to the 4 corners of the world to get HIS PEOPLE. Check it out for yourselves. At this time in our history, haven't we heard enough lies? Feb 15, 2012
firmlyrooted: Noah and Lot are poor examples, if you trying to justify the notion that God would not allow his Bride to suffer. In neither case were the beloved of God removed from the time of trouble. Instead they went through the time of trouble, and were not untouched by it. They suffered through it all, and emerged more or less victorious (both still struggled and strove with the world around them) but they were God's surviving remnant when the waters dissipated or the smoke cleared. Through it all the Almighty was faithful. He was with the three Hebrew men in the furnace. The same can be said of the many martyrs who were beloved, and who were faithful, even in the crucible that extinguished their lives in the present while they rejoiced out loud (to the dismay, and often the conversion of their executioners) because of the hope of a glorious eternal life in His presence. Those who believe that a loving God could not, or would not, allow them to suffer have not given their bibles a serious read, and evidently they do not pay attention to the nightly news either.

(unknown) (: Would God really leave His bride to suffer in the Great Tribulation? We will suffer tribulation, but after the rapture... They calling of Christ coming for His bride is real. I haven't seen the movie but was reading the review. Revelations is a great promise we have as believers to look forward to whether we are dead in Christ (we will rise as an example of Christ) or alive in Christ (caught up to meet Him in the air). Those left will be left to a Godless world (that's scriptural). The events after the rapture are for the Jews. The time of the Gentile is over and the Jews require a sign and then the 3 witnesses will come and the tribes will assemble. This is all found where???? The Bible! So may version take out many verses and/or change words that change the meaning also. Which causes a loss of the truth. Men have a tendency in times now and times in the past to put what they don't understand because they are fleshly, to discount it as false. We will never truly understand the spiritual. Christ gave us great example of who we are to Him. His bride awaiting the wedding. We suffer things to make us humble and turn to Him! Count it all Joy! There will a great tribliation one day and to make a bride suffer through that judgment of the world would not be His character. Reading cover to cover the bible helps understand God's character better but being saved, having Him as our Lord, and reading it cover to cover give hope and we begin to Glory in the promises He has for those who are found faithful! Hebrews 6 talks about leaving the principles of Christ. We are in that day. You can go to 10 different "churches" and get 10 different theologies. Everything is in scripture and some base a whole theology on one verse and take it out of context. God is still on the Throne and will speak to us if we are willing to listen and submit. Trust Him- His Word! Be careful listening to the theology of today. Praise Be to the Lord! Apr 24, 2012

Pete and Kathy D: Yes, the name is John Hagee, not James. John Hagee is Pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, TX, author of many wonderful and thought provoking books and a leader in the world of Jewish-Christian reconciliation and Christians supporting Jews. Books or movies based on his books are thrilling and thought-provoking as well as very biblically based. Mar 31, 2012

Update: Miuccia Prada recants her quotes on the upcoming Met exhibit
Yesterday, we reported that Miuccia Prada was not too pleased about her upcoming retrospective with Elsa Schiaparelli at the Met. The designer was quoted by WWD as saying the exhibit was "too formal" and that the pairing of her and Schiaparelli was odd considering they were "total opposite[s]."
Now Prada has been doing some serious damage control, with a rep for the company telling Fashionista that the designer's comments were taken out of context:
"Miuccia Prada is honored and proud to take part in this exhibition which is an 'impossible conversation between Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiapparelli,'" the statement says. "Mrs. Prada confirmed that she admires the total curatorial independence of the museum to the extent that they almost did not take into consideration her vision."
While we do believe Miuccia Prada's initial comments may have been taken beyond face value, the newest statements from the company sound a little unforgiving. Either way, we can't wait to see what the Met has in store for us.

Ananta Madhavan
Lucid Moment - Poem by Ananta Madhavan
Once, without knowing
I gained a lucid moment
When the chattering stopped
And I was struck deaf.
In that lucid moment,
Fleet as a high-speed shutter,
All was revealed
In arduous intricacy.
What I say now
Is neither map nor plan;
Sooner set down in words
The back of a TV set,
Or draw with fibre pens
'The Bathers' by Seurat,
Or photograph a face
And kiss the shiny top.
What I say here
Is neither runic nor 'tantric':
More like 'It was great fun',
At the end of a show,
Or like a lurching signpost
Pointing the next town skyward,
Or like simile itself,
Relating things, but wrong.
In that lucid moment
Nothing was left out,
All was connected
In arduous intricacy.

"Doing management education properly requires us to think deeply about the future and to redefine what it means to prepare managers for that future ... Our graduates must have the creativity, judgment, and intellectual curiosity to deal with the unforeseen."
— excerpt from the Report of the School of Management Curriculum Review Committee (2009)
A list of great leaders includes a wide range of political, religious and social leaders as well as business executives. Great product designers draw their inspiration from nature, art, and psychology. Great corporate strategists model their tactics on those of historical military campaigns. School of Management faculty members take an interdisciplinary approach to teaching and scholarship, because that is where great insights are found.

Bicycles | The Ultimate Guide
So You Want to Buy a Custom Bike...
Or, you just want to learn more about bikes—either way, you've come to the right place. Since we were the first business to offer fully customized, locally handmade bikes, we know a thing or two about them. At a minimum, we sure do love them a lot.
Know Your Bikes!
Road Racing Bike: Skinny tires, men in spandex. Clip-in pedals. These are the guys and gals going way faster than you on the lakefront path.
Fixie Bike: This is a track bike used on the street. Usually clad with skinny bars, stickers, and spoke cards. Riders typically wear flannel and skinny jeans and wax their handlebar mustaches.
Mountain Bike: For off-road enjoyment and general rippage. There aren't many mountains in the Chicago area, but Palos and Imagination Glen trails can get pretty rad.
Track Bike: For racing on velodromes, track bikes are like road bikes, but they go faster and don't brake as easily. So not for the faint of heart, in other words.
BMX: Bicycle motocross (BMX), also known as off-road bike racing. People riding BMX bikes generally look like they stole their little brother's wheels, except they are wearing tons of padding and a helmet. And are executing sick tricks.
Downhill Mountain Bike: Built for going down mountains at blazing speed. Tons of suspension travel for jumping, or staying rubber side down over terrifyingly large roots and rocks.
Folding Bike: These tiny-wheeled contraptions fold in half to fit in the trunk of a car, or next to your seat on the bus. Can disappear completely in Chicago potholes.
Beach Cruiser: Laid-back bike with fat tires, for taking it easy. Will run you over on the Venice Boardwalk and not even notice.
Hybrid Bike: A cross between a road bike and a mountain bike, for comfortable all-around riding.
City Bike: This is the category Heritage bicycles fall into...comfortable, swift bikes that might have a chain guard to keep your clothes clean, and fenders to keep you dry while you pedal to work (or the bar).
Bike Customization
Do you remember your first trip to the bike store, or the first bike you got as a child? Back then, bikes came in one piece, fully assembled. The most tweaking the store might have done was adjusting the seat to your height (assuming the part-time working teenager just trying to make a few extra bucks even remotely cared about his job.
Well, the 21st century is all about customization. You can order custom checks, Nike kicks, even M&Ms. Why should bikes be any different? The possible combinations are literally endless when it comes toassembling a custom bicycle. This ain't your first Schwinn.
Bicycle Brakes
Coaster Brakes: This is the classic back-pedal brake that you had on your first bike. It probably saved you from riding into many a bush or tree. Coaster brakes are used for their simplicity and cost effective nature. Not the best for the city, but usable.
Pros: simple look, cheap. Cons: no back-pedaling, braking not the best, cheap.
Rim Brakes: Any type of brake where pads are applied to the rim of the rotating wheels. Rim brakes are cheap and easy to maintain, but beware in the rain. It can be similar to how water may make your car slide for a bit before finally coming to a complete stop.
Rim brakes vary in style, depending on where the are mounted, and what type of bicycle they're on. The most popular styles are caliper, cantilever, and linear pull brakes.
Pros: Reliable, powerful braking. Cons: Not amazing in the rain. Take some maintenance.
Drum Brakes: Two pads are pressed outward against the hub. The mechanism is fully enclosed, making these brakes good for wet or dirty conditions.
Drum brakes are an older style, but still work well, and braking strength is consistent no matter the weather. They haven't been used on racing bikes for many, many, decades. They are great for city bikes though, as long as you don't live in a 3rd floor walk-up apartment (we're assuming you're not after Arnold Schwarzenegger-esque calves, thighs, and glutes.
Pros: Low-maintenance, great in bad weather. Cons: Heavy.
Disc brakes: A metal disc attached the wheel hub that turns with the wheel, and when braking, pads squeeze together on the disc. Just like on a motorcycle, but smaller and lighter.
These show up on almost all off-road bikes (mountain bike, cyclocross bikes). Very powerful, but high maintenance. Good for any bike that is able to mount them, city to off-road, and if the rider wants to go through the trouble of maintaining them.
Pros: The most powerful bicycle brake style available, good in the rain and mud. Cons: High-maintenance.
Bicycle Gears
External (derailleur) gears: Commonly found on most bikes, these gears are, obviously, readily visible. They could also double as throwing stars. You know, if you ever find yourself being attacked by a band of ninjas.
Derailleur shifting exists on 90% of bikes. At the high-end (racing groups), it's the fastest shifting method available. On the low-end (consumer bicycles), they're super cost-effective. Can be used on any bike with a derailleur hanger.
Pros: Can be fast and reliable.
Cons: Easy to damage, can be cheap and ineffective.
Internal gears: These gears are hidden inside a wheel hub. Commonly found on commuter bikes and general city riders.
Used for ease of maintenance and clean look. Can be mounted to pretty much any bicycle. Used mostly for commuter/city bikes, popular in Europe. They tend to have some drag because of their mechanical nature, so they're not very efficient with your pedalling power.
Pros: Easy to use and maintain.
Cons: Heavy, slow to shift, not very efficient.
Bicycle Saddles
Saddles just aren't for horses. It's actually the proper term for the "bike seat." The shape of the saddle largely depends on how upright you need to be—which is, of course, determined on the type of riding you are trying to do. The wider the tail (the back-part of the saddle), the more comfortable the saddle is when you are seated upright. If you need to be leaning forward on the bike, the tail and midsection need to be narrow for maximum butt comfort and so that your legs can pedal easily. Some saddles also come with a hole or groove in the middle to relieve pressure on the vas deferens, for all you dudes out there who do not wish for infertility (Warning! Do not go to "Google Images" and search "Vas Deferens!")
Bicycle Handlebars
Just like the saddle, the shape of the handlebars is dictated by the type of riding you will be doing. Racing bikes, where you are completely hunched over, typically have drop handlebars. Mountain bike handlebars are usually straight across, while cruisers curve upward. City handlebars come in all shapes, but most curve and/or rise to place the rider in a comfortable, upright position. We'll let the pictures take it from here!
Bicycle Fenders
Fenders (you know, those things that covers the top of the wheel) keep the water and mud off you and your bike. The length varies depending on how much coverage you want. Fenders can be wood, aluminum, steel, or plastic. To be totally candid, deciding on the fender type really comes down to how much you want to spend:
Wood: Expensive, high maintenance. Look great!
Aluminum: (left) Light, low-maintenance, not cheap, but not crazy expensive. Super decorative and awesome looking.
Steel: Cheap, heavy. Decent looking.
Plastic: Cheap, light, flimsy, ugly. Does the job.
Racks and Other Bells & Whistles
The possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Rear racks, front racks, baskets, and panniers will hold your crap for you. You can ride 80's style by sticking some baseball cards into the wheel spokes. Strap on some headlights for night riding — Heritage even offers self-generating lights that are powered by your pedaling. Streamers, pennant flags, and bells are are also part of the myriad ways you can spice up your bike. We'll keep this section simple and just let the pictures do the talking.
What Makes Heritage Bicycles Special?
A Heritage bike is, first and foremost, all about quality. We use long-lasting components so your bike breaks in, and rides like a dream for thousands of miles before it needs any service. Our bikes are equipped with premium parts, quality pieces that wouldn't see on bikes at much higher price-points, and leagues above what you'll get on a mass-produced bike. We agonize over every nut and bolt to ensure a long-lasting and smooth ride for you.
Our expansive customization makes every one of our bikes unique. When you buy a Heritage bike, you can choose from over 150 paint colors and a multitude of gears, seats, fenders, tires, handlebars, and chain guards. That's a level of service that you can't come by easily these days. You'll also never confuse your bike for someone else's.
All our bikes are hand-welded in Chicago and then hand-assembled in our flagship shop on Lincoln Avenue. You won't find another handmade bike in the Midwest. Heritage bikes help keep local craftsmen and mechanics in business, so you can feel good knowing that in addition to buying a good-quality custom bike, you're also buying local. Stop by and see us, or order your bike online.
The History of the Bicycle(For you history nerds out there…er, buffs! History buffs! Crap, it's too late).
The ancestor to the modern bike was the Laufmaschine ("running machine"; also called a "dandy horse"). Creator Baron Karl von Drais (wow, now that's a German name!), introduced his Laufmaschine to the public in 1817. It is believed that Drais invented this contraption because he wanted to obviate the need for horses as a result of a major crop failure in 1816 that led most of the area horses to starve to death.
The major distinction between the Laufmaschine and bikes as we know them today was the lack of pedals or crank drive—you had to push your feet off the ground to make the contraption go. Think of it as a Balance Bike for adults.
Improvements came rapidly. During the 1860s in Paris, Pierre Michaux and Pierre Lallement took the basic dandy horse and added a crank drive, pedals, and a larger front wheel. They dubbed this the "velocipede." This quickly evolved into the penny-farthing, the highly recognizable Victorian-era vehicle that featured an extremely large front wheel and much smaller back wheel. This was the first model to actually be called a "bicycle." The penny-farthing was incredibly difficult to ride because of its poor weight distribution and high seat.
In 1868, an Englishman named Rowley Turner brought a velocipede back to his workplace, the Coventry Sewing Machine Company. The company was co-owned by Rowley's uncle, Josiah Turner, with James Starley. The two men (Josiah and James) took an interest in the velocipede and set about making further improvements to it.
Josiah decreased the size of the front wheel and moved the seat farther back on the frame. This fixed the weight distribution issues, making the velocipede safer to ride and less likely to tip. However, it was harder to manipulate, so Starley added a pedal system attached to the front wheel. Because of his achievements, Starley is widely considered to be the father of modern bikes.
Having to steer and pedal from the front wheel was still not ideal because the pedaling legs restricted the rider's range of motion and ability to steer. Starley's nephew, JK Starley, resolved this by adding a chain drive and connecting it to the back wheel. Now the pedals didn't have to be attached to any wheel, and balance problems were resolved by placing these parts toward the back of the bike. Starley called this the safety bicycle, and it débuted in 1876.
With the safety bicycle now gaining in popularity, other inventors began to turn their focus to cycling. John Boyd Dunlop added a pneumatic tire (a tire made of rubber and full of compressed air) that added traction and absorbed shocks. Coaster (back-pedal) brakes were also invented around this time. Because of the increased ease and safety of biking, cycling became even more popular. The 1890s are thus considered the "Golden Age of Bicycles."
By the turn of the century, bicycling was a major craze in the United States, both as a method of transportation and as a pastime. Women benefitted immensely, suddenly finding themselves with a safe, easy, and practical means of getting around and being self-reliant. The bicycle craze, in fact, contributed to the changing fashions, as women found that the voluminous skirts and restrictive corsets of the time made cycling difficult.
After the invention and widespread distribution of the automobile, cycling's popularity dropped off in the United States by 1910. Bikes became a children's toy until the 1970s, when mass production technology made bikes cheaper and easier to purchase.
Bicycles in Chicago
Chicago has a long history of bike manufacturing, beginning with such companies as Crane Bros. and Loring & Keene. In the mid-19th century, these two companies were among the first velocipede manufacturers in the US. Crane still exists today, now Crane Co., a holding company whose portfolio includes vending machines and telecom equipment.
In 1871, after his toy factory burned down in the Great Chicago Fire, Adolph Schoeninger opened Western Wheel Works, which quickly became one of the largest bicycle factories in the country. The company closed its doors in 1900 due to the aforementioned decline in popularity.
Schwinn was founded in Chicago in 1895. Realizing he faced declining sales in the early 1900s, founder Ignaz Schwinn bought up smaller local bike firms, began mass producing bikes at a lower cost, and expanded into motorcycles. These moves helped him stay afloat and even thrive. During the Great Depression, Ignaz's son Frank took over daily operations and refocused entirely on bicycles—obviously that worked well, since most every kid growing up in the 20th-century United States rode a Schwinn at some point. In the early 80s, Schwinn production left Chicago to avoid a unionized workforce. In 2001, Schwinn declared bankruptcy and was sold to Pacific Cycle, a division of Dorel Industries.
The Modern-Day Bicycle
Bikes today are made of carbon fiber, alloy, or steel. Some have wireless electronic shifting (meaning no wires from the gear shift on the handlebar to the chain) and eleven cogs on just the rear cassette alone. More cogs close the gaps between the gears, making it easier to accelerate and easier to ride at a comfortable pace (less leg rotation). A lot of brakes are hydraulic (like on motorcycles). Materials like titanium, magnesium, forged then machined alloys, and advanced plastics adorn high-end bikes. Because biking has once again surged in popularity, more money and time has probably been spent on improving bicycle technology in the last ten years than in the previous one hundred.
The largest recreational bicycle manufacturer and brand name in the world is Giant. Selling everything from racing bikes to city cruises, Giant boasts the largest market share in the Western hemisphere. Their factory in Taiwan also manufactures frames for other major bike companies. Accompanying Giant, Specialized and Trek round out the "Big Three" bike brands in the world.
United States-based major bicycle manufacturers are few and far between. Some Trek bikes are still are produced in Waterloo, Wisconsin, but most are made in Taiwan. Cannondale moved to Taiwan in 2009 after it was bought by Dorel (who owns other US legacy brands like Schwinn and Mongoose) in 2008, and the powers that be decided money was better than heritage..
There are very few small-production bicycle brands in this country today. Stinner Frameworks in Santa Barbara, Stanridge Bikes in Columbus, and Humble Frameworks of Chicago still make bicycles to order, and Waterford bikes in Wisconsin makes semi-custom bikes.
Cycling Clubs and Racing
Cycling clubs were first established during the 1900s in England and the United States. The premise was simple: create a group where bike enthusiasts could get together, talk shop, and ride. Today there are countless clubs across the US. Clubs can range from casual meet-ups for "civilian" bike enthusiasts to ultra-competitive racing clubs for track racing, cyclocross, road racing, and time trials.
The most famous bike race is, of course, the Tour de France (above, c.1992). Held every year since 1903, the Tour de France spans three weeks.The Tour is a multi-stage race run by twenty-two teams of bikers (as of 2015). Each team has nine cyclists.
Heritage Cycling Club
The Heritage Cycling Club was organized in 2013 as a place for new and seasoned bike enthusiasts to get together and ride, talk shop, and learn from one another. Heritage also sponsors several bike clubs including the Intelligentsia Racing and the DePaul University Cycling Club. Heritage also works with nonprofits like West Town Bikes, which focus on teaching bicycle maintenance and service skills to Chicago's youth.
Bike Maintenance—How to Care for Your Bike
Depending on what your bike was built for, it could wear like stone, or act like a fickle waif that goes sour with merely a stern look. Odds are, by now, you know where your bike falls in that range. 90% of bicycles require very little maintenance, but the small amount of attention that is required is quite important.
First thing: pay attention to your tire pressure. Even the fanciest of tires need their air topped off every couple of days, so keeping your tires at the prescribed pressure (which is molded into the tire sidewall) makes for cheerful rides and long-lasting tires.
After that, your drivetrain, the collection of chain rings, chain, and cogs that transfer your power from the pedals to the rear wheel, also needs love.
In Conclusion…
If you've read this far, congrats! You now know more about bikes than the average layperson. We tried to keep this pretty basic, but we love bikes and we love to geek out over bikes, so feel free to come chat with us anytime. You can stop into our Lincoln store, or email us at email@example.com.


text: I have been Looking at a lot of 9mm's lately, searching for a small gun yet one that I can hold comfortably in my large hands. Yesterday I came across a used K9 at the LGS. Looks to be in excellent condition with almost no external wear on it. Fit my hand great. The salesman knew nothing about them, told me they were no longer made. At $550 I thought it was on the high side but when I did a little internet browsing maybe it's not, as a quick check of Gunbroker indicated it was about in line. I liked the trigger, grips etc and would like to seriously consider this gun. Not sure what kind of warranty the gun store offers on a used gun. Is this gun considered to have good reliability? Anything special I should look for in a used gun? I realize I could probably buy a new one with a polymer frame for the same price but I did like the feel of this one.

PGPUB Comments - PHCDL2
From: firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: Monday, May 22, 2000 7:57 AM To: Pre Grant Pub Subject: Comments on Proposed Changes to Implement Eighteen-Month Publication
Honorable Commissioner for Patents
United States Patent and Trademark Office
Washington, D.C. 20231
Dear Commissioner:
This communication is in response to the Patent and Trademark Office's request for comments relating to proposed changes in the Rules of Practice in Patent Cases to implement certain provisions of the "American Inventor's Protection Act of 1999" to provide, with certain exceptions, for the publication of pending patent applications (other than for a design patent) at 18 months from the earliest claimed priority date. I request consideration for the following comments:
37 C.F.R. § 1.213(a) Proposed rule 1.213(a) provides that a utility patent application will not be published under 35 U.S.C. 122(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 1.211 provided (1) a request (non-publication request) is submitted with the application upon filing, (2) the request states in a conspicuous manner that the application is not to be published under 35 U.S.C. § 122(b), (3) the request contains a certification that the invention disclosed in the application has not been and will not be the subject of an application filed in another country or under a multilateral agreement that requires publication at 18 months after filing, and (4) the request is signed in compliance with § 1.33(b). This section, however, does not address whether a foreign filing license will continue to be granted even though a request for non-publication has been made. I therefore request clarification on whether a foreign filing license will continue to be provided, even though a request certifying that the invention disclosed in the application has not been and will not be the subject of an application filed in another country, or a under a multilateral agreement, that requires publication at 18 months after filing has been made.
37 C.F.R. § 1.215(a) Proposed rule 1.215 states that "[t]he publication of an application under 35 U.S.C. § 122(b) shall include a patent application publication." Proposed rule 1.215 further provides that "[t]he date of publication shall be indicated on the patent application publication." However, the proposed rule does not state whether the classification of the patent application will be published. Therefore, I request a provision in the proposed rule requiring publication of the classification of the patent application.
Respectfully submitted,

Philippe de Girard
Philippe Henri de Girard (February 1, 1775 – August 26, 1845[1][2]) was a French engineer and inventor of the first flax spinning frame in 1810, as well as the name-sake for the town of Żyrardów in Poland. He was also the uncredited inventor of food preservation using tin cans.[3][4]
Girard was born in the village of Lourmarin in the département of Vaucluse, France, to a wealthy aristocratic family. As a child he was sent by his parents to some of the most notable French schools of the era. However, in the effect of the French Revolution, his family was forced to flee France and young Philippe had to abandon his studies in order to help his family earn money for living.
In May 1810 Napoleon I tried to stop English cotton fabrics entering the continent of Europe and offered a reward of one million francs to any inventor who could devise the best machinery for the spinning of flax yarn. After only a short period Philippe de Girard took out a French patent for important inventions for both dry and wet methods of spinning flax. He was not awarded the prize money and failed to gain the recognition he felt was deserved. He had been counting on the prize money to pay the expenses of his invention, and he got into serious financial difficulties.[2] So he accepted, when in 1815 he was invited by the Austrian government to establish a spinning mill in Hirtenberg near Vienna, which employed his spinning frames. However, it failed to prove a commercial success.
In 1817 Girard returned to France with a prototype ready, but the internal situation of France after the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte prevented the new French authorities from payment of the debts and eventually Girard sold his patent to England. His inventions were patented in England in 1814, by Horace Hall (possibly a pseudonym). It would not have been easy for a French man to introduce a new development into England at this point in history. It never really caught on.
In the British Isles James Kay has been credited with this invention. Although, on December 2, 1826, shortly after Kay's patent was awarded, Girard seems to have been prompted to write to the editor of The Manchester Guardian complaining about this and pointing out he had been the inventor. The fact that Horace Hall made no complaint might suggest this name being a pseudonym.
Several years afterwards the situation in France improved and Girard started the first modern textile factory in Lille. Initially the business was a failure and Girard almost went bankrupt.
In 1825 he was hired by the government of the Kingdom of Poland to develop the Polish textile industry. He became the expert of the Polish government, as well as the Bank of Poland. Because of financial support of the latter, in 1831 he organised the first major factory of his project in Marymont near Warsaw. Two years later he moved with his business to the village of Ruda Guzowska, where the factory had better prospects. Soon it became a great success and brought fame and prosperity both to the settlement and to Girard. In honour of Girard, Ruda Guzowska was renamed to Żyrardów, a toponym derived of the polonised spelling of Girard's name.
In 1844 Girard returned to France, where he planned to open more factories. However, he died the following year. Apart from the town of Żyrardów (currently one of the biggest satellite towns of Warsaw), Girard became a name-sake for a street and a college in 18th arrondissement of Paris and two lycea in Żyrardów and Avignon.
He died in Paris.[1] After his death, his work was recognised and his descendants were rewarded with a small pension by the French Emperor.
Other projects[edit]
In 1806 he exhibited an improvement in lamps, and in the same year made some improvement in the steam engine, producing a rotary motion without a walking beam.[1] In 1818 he built a steamer to run on the Danube.[2]

NLP Overlapping Representational Systems Script
When a person has trouble accessing a representational system, they are limited in the way they recall memories, assign meaning and interact with the world. The problem often results from trauma, but can also be a result of an underdeveloped representational system. This technique will help them in developing access to that system. You should first run the eye tracking test on page 2.
- Identify the underrepresented modality
For example, if someone were unable to access pictures in their mind (created or remembered), but wanted to be able to do visualization exercises or just wanted to be able to make pictures, we would work on the Visual representational system.
- Begin with the favored representational system
Begin helping the client to create strong I/Rs in their preferred system. For example:
Just imagine yourself in a wonderfully majestic forest…
- Visual: You can see the leaves gently moving in the breeze as the moon begins rising above the trees in the distance. You see a small brook nearby, and the water twists lazily through its random course.
- Auditory: You can hear the wind blowing through the big leaves on the full trees, hear the crickets in the background, and hear a babbling brook lazily drifting by in the distance.
- Kinesthetic: You can feel the gentle wind blowing, feeling the soft ground beneath your feet, and being in this forest makes you feel so peaceful.
- Then overlap to the underrepresented system
- Visual to Auditory: And as you see these things, you can begin to hear the gentle rustling of the leaves in the trees that surround you.
- Kinesthetic to Visual: And as you feel those things, you begin noticing the rich color of the leaves on all trees around you.
- Auditory to Kinesthetic: And as you hear those sounds around, you begin to feel a sense of calm as it envelops you in the warm, gentle breeze.
- Test
Think of a happy memory from your past, and describe to me what it (looked/sounded/felt) like.
- Future Pace
As you think about your future, think of a time when having access to this part of your mind will help you be successful. Describe that to me.

My two rap-related projects, Raplyzer, which analyzes the rhyme density of different rappers, and DeepBeat, which is a rap lyrics generating AI, were widely covered in the media last year. But with the fame come the haters. The purpose of this post is to prove that my haters are wrong! (For real: I honestly don't consider anyone a hater, nor will there be any proofs in this post. Rather, I'll present some quantitative evidence for the validity of the algorithms but also discuss their limitations.)
You Are What Apps You Use: Demographic Prediction Based on User's Apps
Most of us are aware that the websites we visit can reveal quite a lot about ourselves – and that these revelations are highly sought after by advertisers. Nearly all companies today are eager to access data about our online behavior so they can show us more relevant content (those Facebook ads can sometimes be scarily accurate).

Who Let the DAGs Out?
We did – in our paper titled "Beyond rankings: comparing directed acyclic graphs" (pdf) which I'll be presenting at the ECML PKDD conference in Portugal next month. This was the first project of my PhD, but there's also something else that makes it fundamentally different from the other research projects I've been involved with.
Typically, when I undertake a research project, I have a concrete question, like what is the next location a person will visit, to which I start looking for different solutions. In other words, I begin with a nail and start looking for a suitable hammer. However, this time we started by developing a cool new hammer with some neat theoretical properties before we had any idea if a suitable nail even exists. Continue reading
Algorithm That Counts Rap Rhymes and Scouts Mad Lines
"Men lie, women lie, numbers don't" – Jay Z
Among the many things rappers like to boast about, some are relatively easy to quantify, like money, whereas rhyming skills are something that have been very difficult to measure – up till now. In this post, I'll present Raplyzer, a computer program which automatically detects rhymes from rap lyrics and which is used to rank popular rappers based on their average Rhyme factor. I'll also present another program called BattleBot, which is a search engine for rhyming rap lines based on the algorithm used in Raplyzer.
Reconstructing and Analyzing Family Trees (my PhD project)
Usually, when I think I've come up with a great idea, I wait until the next day to see if it still seems as good. Most of the time it doesn't. However, when Arno Solin first told me about the HisKi database, which contains digitized church records (births, deaths, marriages, migration) from Finland spanning from the 1600s to the late 1800s, and the analysis possibilities this data could offer, I immediately felt compelled to start working on it, and the next day I was even more excited.
Eventually, I told my professor about the idea and we decided that I would start my PhD research around the questions arising from the HisKi dataset. Other people also liked the idea and so I was chosen to present my research in a pitching competition called Falling Walls Lab in Berlin a few months ago (Aalto news wrote about my trip here). Here's a video of my two and a half minutes presentation where I explain what kind of research questions I'm aiming to address.
Voititko tonnin? Tsekkaa raplysaattori.fi
(An English summary for this and the previous post can be found here.)
Viime postauksen yhteydessä sain lukijoiltani paljon hyviä ideoita Raplysaattoriin liittyen. Yksi ideoista oli selvittää, millä yksittäisellä kappaleella on kovin riimikerroin. Tässä postauksessa julkaisen yksittäisten kappaleiden top 10 -listan. Continue reading
Algoritmil voi saada kiinni / kenel on kovimmat rap-riimit
"Puolet räppäreist ei tajuu rimmaamisest mitään / ennen mikkiin päästämistä pitäis kirjalliset pitää"
Näin toteaa suomiräpin epäilemättä tämän hetken tunnetuin nimi, Cheek, kappaleessaan Kuka muu muka. Tässä kirjoituksessa kuvailen, miten tietokoneella voidaan löytää lyriikoissa esiintyviä riimejä automaattisesti ja tutkin, löytyykö edellä mainitulle Cheekin väitteelle katetta analysoimalla Suomen tunnetuimpien räppäreiden sanoituksia toteuttamallani tietokoneohjelmalla. Ohjelma laskee tunnistamiensa riimien pituuksia sekä arvioi artistin sanavaraston kokoa. Continue reading

An update from the BlueRibbon Coalition
Ever get so busy that when you finally take a moment to look up from your work, you realize that time has gotten away from you? That's the way it has been so far this year at the BlueRibbon Coalition--much to do and almost not enough time to do it...
In addition to BRC's ongoing efforts to facilitate and assist local grassroots involvement in state and local issues, there are three major national issues that we are focused on. Effective representation and partnering from the local and national level is critical. I encourage you to engage with us:
1. Salazar's "Big Wilderness" effort to take the "public" out of "public lands":
This is as blatant an anti-access campaign as I have ever seen played in politics.
Background information: http://www.sharetrails.org/public-la...=salazar_order
Latest News from our Public Lands department: http://www.sharetrails.org/public-la...cnews&rnid=131
2. Forest Service's new Forest Planning Rule--decades of far reaching effects:
The newly proposed Forest Planning Rule Draft and Draft Environmental Impact Statement are out for review and comment. This rule-making process follows decades of controversy and litigation over similar efforts in 2000, 2005, and 2008. And, this new "Rule" will affect recreation management for decades to come. Please check back often on this issue at this link on our website: http://www.sharetrails.org/public-la..._Planning_Rule
3. Reauthorizing the Recreational Trails Program--not a done deal yet:
Your club can be a big help and it's easy. Short read on how here: http://www.sharetrails.org/rtp
Mumm's the Word is back for 2011 and has hit the ground running. If you haven't already donated, and even if you have, we need your financial support. We've made it very easy. Please donate. Good for us and good for you. More here: http://www.sharetrails.org/mummstheword
Make it a great day!

The big story in tonight's 5-4 loss to Sacramento was the injury to catcher/designated hitter Yasmani Grandal.
Grandal, the team's No. 3 hitter and the organization's fourth best prospect according to mlb.com, left the game after scoring in the third inning. Manager Terry Kennedy said postgame that it's either a hamstring injury or cramps for Grandal.
He said he wouldn't know more until Tuesday. Grandal will arrive early and get checked out by the training staff and the team will go from there.
There is currently only one other catcher, Brad Davis, on the roster. Kennedy said a move could be made to add another catcher even if it just cramps for Grandal. He stressed he's taking it one step at a time, though.
Other notes from tonight's loss:
--Kennedy was annoyed with a baserunning error by third baseman James Darnell in the third inning. The Padres had runners on first and second with no outs and Sawyer Carroll at the plate. Carroll lined a ball to center field that was caught by a diving Grant Green. Darnell thought the ball was going to drop and started running for third with his head down. When he eventually saw it was caught, he took off back to second, but was doubled up.
"It was a very bad baserunning play," Kennedy said. "There's no reason for that. No reason. He's been been playing for a long time and that was a very bad play. It hurt us."
--That wasn't the only play that irked the manager. With one out in the top of the seventh and runners on first and second, Tucson pitcher Colt Hynes got Wes Timmons to hit a grounder to shortstop. Beamer Weems fielded it cleanly and flipped to second baseman Amadeo Zazueta. Zazueta got the out at second, but his throw to first was off and Timmons was able to beat it.
The next hitter, Chris Carter, then hammered a two-run double to make it 5-2.
"That's the play that has to be made," Kennedy said. "We need to turn two right there and get out of the inning."
--One bright spot was catcher Brad Davis. Davis homered in the seventh inning and then had an RBI triple in the ninth. He also caught for the second straight game and will likely get more action with Grandal banged up.
"We're not even in this game without Davis," Kennedy said. "He swung it well."
--Starting pitcher Matt Palmer was on a 80-pitch count and threw exactly that amount in the loss. Palmer went five innings, giving up five hits, three earned runs, one walk and struck out five. He battled an injury in spring training and Kennedy said they've been building his pitch count back up. He'll likely go to 90 next time out in Salt Lake City. Overall, Kennedy said he was pleased with Palmer's outing.
--Tuesday's starter Joe Wieland should throw about 90 pitches/six innings in his second start of the season.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- There will be plenty of Orange and White on both sides of the net for Sunday's finals at the Tennessee Fall Invitational.
The Vols made sure of that with their performances Saturday at Barksdale Stadium.
Sophomores Mikelis Libietis and Brandon Fickey picked up a pair of victories each to set up a rematch of last year's final in the top singles flight. Seniors John Collins and Edward Jones did the same and will face off in the second singles flight, assuring a Tennessee winner in both draws.
The singles championships will follow the 9 a.m. doubles finals, which will feature a match with Collins and Jones taking on Fickey and Hunter Reese. Admission is free to all matches.
Just like they did as freshmen last season, Libietis and Fickey played their way back into familiar territory this weekend on their home courts to reach the finals in the 32-man field.
While the matchup is the same as it was a year ago, don't expect to see the same performance.
A year older, a year more experienced, and a year stronger and more physically fit, Fickey knows he and Libietis are hardly the same players they were a year ago and just starting their first semester at Tennessee.
"We're completely different players now," Fickey said. "We've both grown. We've played a ton more matches. It's going to be fun. It's going to be just another match."
On Saturday, Fickey opened his day with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over former teammate Peter Nagovnak of Winthrop in the quarterfinals. He earned his spot in the final by beating Louisville's Chris Simich 7-5, 6-3.
Libietis, who won last year's title match by a score of 6-3, 7-6 (2), earned both his victories in straight sets as well. He beat seventh-seeded Jimmy Roebker of Xavier 6-3, 6-4. He was in some trouble in his second match against Tennessee Tech's Alejandro Augusto, down 6-3 in the first-set tiebreaker before reeling off five straight games to win the first set and eventually winning 7-6 (6), 6-3.
Reese's and Jarryd Chaplin's tournament stays were cut short Saturday because of injuries. Reese withdrew before his quarterfinal match against Simich, and Chaplin had to retire after injuring his ankle midway through the first set against Augusto.
The Vols' three seniors made sure Tennessee was well-represented in the final rounds of singles in the second flight as well. In addition to Collins and Jones reaching the final, Taylor Patrick also played his way into the semifinals.
Collins has enjoyed a good tournament run in his first career matches on his new home courts. The Maryland transfer breezed through his quarterfinal match 6-2, 6-0 against Vasily Eremeev of Tennessee Tech.
In the semifinals, Collins faced teammate Taylor in the semifinals and earned a 6-2, 6-3 win in the battle of the Vol left handers.
"It's nice to be at home," Collins said. "It's the first time I've ever played a home tournament before so I'm enjoying that. My parents are out here for the weekend, so I'm just enjoying the moment."
Jones' path to the final was not an easy one by any stretch. He was on court long after everyone else had finished play Saturday, grinding out his second three-set victory of the day with the Vols cheering him on.
His afternoon started with a 6-4, 2-6, 7-6 (1) victory over Pavel Grigorjevs of Chattanooga in which he rallied from a break down in the third set. He followed that with another marathon match, defeating Viktor Selander 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 as the sun was starting to set.
The Vols continued to roll in doubles through the second day of the tournament.
Jones and Collins looked much improved in their second match together, beating Juanjo de la Llere and Jan Dombrowski of Eastern Kentucky 8-2 in the semifinals of the Goodfriend doubles draw. Fickey and Reese had to stay on court longer but dug out the 8-6 win against Xavier's Mesa Mei and Jimmy Roebker.
Chaplin and Libietis, the tournament's defending champions, defeated Nagovnak and Dylan Comerford of Winthrop 8-5.

Chicago was dismantled by the Texans at home last week and lost their quarterbacks Jay Cutler for this game because of a concussion. Jason Campbell will be the starter.
"He's comfortable in the pocket, comfortable calling the plays," center Roberto Garza said. "Look at his track record. That speaks for itself. There's a reason why he's here, and there's a reason why he's in the situation he's in.
"He probably should be starting somewhere. He's that type of player. Unfortunately, we're in this situation, but he's gonna step in there".
The Niners have also questions about the quarterback Alex Smith, who also suffered from a concussion against the Rams last week; however, Smith is likely to play.
"I feel good, better," Smith said. "I'm just going along with the process right now. Nothing's been decided. It's a whole long process that's up to the doctors. I just kind of do what they tell me. Contact obviously is the final straw".
Expect a defensive matchup where the team that makes fewer mistakes will win; both defenses love to steal the ball, and they know how to do it.
Chicago is 0-5 straight up and against the spread in its last 5 games when playing on the road against San Francisco. Also, the 49ersare 12-4-1 ATS in its last 17 games at home.

Mortgage formulas may include energy
WASHINGTON — The big three mortgage players — Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration, who together account for more than 90 percent of all loan volume — typically don't consider energy costs in underwriting. Yet utility bills can be larger annual cash drains than property taxes or insurance — key items in standard underwriting — and can seriously affect a family's ability to afford a house.
A bipartisan effort on Capitol Hill could change all this dramatically and for the first time put energy costs and savings into standard mortgage underwriting equations. A bill introduced Oct. 20 would force the big three mortgage agencies to take account of energy costs in every loan they insure, guarantee or buy. It would also require them to instruct appraisers to adjust their valuations upward when accurate data on energy efficiency savings are available.
Titled the SAVE Act (Sensible Accounting to Value Energy), the bill is jointly sponsored by Sens. Michael Bennet, a Democrat from Colorado, and Johnny Isakson, a Republican from Georgia. Along with the traditional principal, interest, taxes and insurance calculations, estimated energy expenses for the house would be included as a mandatory underwriting factor.
For most houses that have not undergone independent energy audits, loan officers would be required to pull data from either previous utility bills — in the case of refinancings — or from a Department of Energy survey database to arrive at an estimated cost. This would then be factored into the debt-to-income ratios that lenders already use to determine whether a borrower can afford the monthly costs of the mortgage. Allowable ratios would likely be adjusted to account for the new energy/utilities component.
For houses with significant energy-efficiency improvements already built in and documented with a professional audit such as a home energy rating system study, lenders would instruct appraisers to calculate the present net value of monthly energy savings and adjust the final appraised value accordingly. This higher valuation, in turn, could be used to justify a higher mortgage amount.
But you might ask: In a fractious, polarized Congress, could this bill actually make it through this session? The co-sponsors are optimistic, and supporting groups say there is substantial bipartisan support for the idea in both the House and Senate.
For homeowners who think that their energy-efficiency improvements should be worth something, there is no rule barring you from asking a qualified appraiser or a lender to assess the added market value of those features. You can get your house rated and documented. Or you can invest in documented improvements that save on utility expenses and hope that the federal agencies see the light and change their underwriting and valuation procedures before you go to sell.
