  1. Sister in law gives big props to B&H Photo.
  2. Doc - Here is what I was trained to do working for a major technology company headquarted in Dallas TX. Ever engineer was given a lab notebook that was serialized. We were told that any time we conducted / observed a test, has any kind of thought concerning a new process / concept / the like to write it down in the notebook. The entry was to be dated, signed by you, and co-signed by another engineer. When the notebook was full, we were issued another one. We did not do any pre or post research to determine if the entry was previously patented. Of course, the idea / observation was the property of the employer. I would think that in your case that if you could draw out and briefly explain what your concept / invention would be then you should be good. Make sure that you date, sign, and get some other form of co-signature. You could also photograph the entry - just in case. At least this way you have documented your idea and you can then to the research. Just a point of note - you can't patent something that already exists. You can patent something if you make significant changes to the original. This might help as well - Linky Good luck.
  3. Funny you should mention Wray Carlton. He was just inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame. Linky
  4. That. Check your Groupon listings. I see deals a number of times each quarter for different studios.
  5. I'm a believer of yoga as well. I go 3 days a week during the crappy weather months and 1 / 2 when the weather is nice. It has helped my lower back and tightness in the hamstring area tremendously. Very little aches and pains after a 50 mile bike ride or an afternoon in the yard / garden. The worse thing you can do as you get older is stop moving. I intend to practice as long as I can. Plently of good free podcasts on iTunes. But, go to a class to understand the why behind the what. Want to really test yourself, try the hot or Bikram yoga. It is also good for your mental well being.
  6. Hope you have a great day
  7. I'd say mom and dad have a bit of a problem on their hands.
  8. Yep - 8pm. Plus, he swam against Mary Eggers to raise funds for Teens Living with Cancer in the Buffalo / Rochester area.
  9. Just got a tweet that LA is in Buffalo for a couple of days. If any of you are cyclists keep you ears open for a possible group ride.
  10. Good for you dude for fighting the man!! High speed rail is a bunch of crap. They tried singing that tune here in OH and it didn't get far. Every once and a while it comes up and then they realize they don't have the money to fund it.
  11. Nephew goes to Clemson. Go Tigers!!!
  12. I don't think he will be getting any in the near future.
  13. Heck, I would too and I'm a cyclist.
  14. I hear you. Might be worth asking the traffic department. Sorry I don't have a better answer. And don't hate all of us cyclists.
  15. Found this - hope it answers your very good question. Linky
  16. Sorry - 3 things. Surviving cancer. Surviving being laid off 3 times. Riding 100 miles on my bike to raise cancer research funds 3 times. Going for #4 this summer.
  17. Try this site for troubleshooting - Repairclinic.com
  18. Olivier - What about contacting North Carolina Central University (where he went to college) and ask them if they have any information on him? Maybe they can forward your interview request to him.
  19. Na zdrowie!!!
  20. Green grass, sweet green grass!!
  21. Finished 2 Jim Harrison books recently. The English Major (very good) and The Great Leader (good). The Art of Driving in the Rain brought me to tears on a cross Atlantic flight. On Cold Mountain is an excellent read.
  22. I must have forgot to press the sarcasm button.
  23. Probably too early in the season, but the Marine Corps silent drill parade at night is one thing on my "things to see" list.
