6,000,000 was granted for the technology used to transfer data from computers to Palm Pilots. patent ever granted, in 1790, was for potash, an ingredient in fertilizer and soap. Patent and Trademark Office has more than 6 million patents on file. ![]() One thing about inventors, there are lots of them. “It would be great if we could get it out in time for next Thanksgiving,” she said. Now the potato masher-looking like a cross between a bread machine and a Cuisinart-is in the hands of an engineering company, which is putting together a machine that, with luck, should be on the market in about a year. When informed she was a semifinalist, she and her sister-in-law stayed up all night piecing together the prototype with a glue gun. O’Connor, of Chicago, submitted her idea to Hammacher Schlemmer after receiving a flier in the mail inviting her to enter the invention contest. That might have been the end of the story were it not for the contest. Once she concocted a design, albeit a crude one, that would cook and mash (but not peel) potatoes she applied for and received a patent on her machine. So she decided to make one herself, using parts from other appliances she already owned. ![]() She actually went to several stores looking for such a machine before finally realizing that one did not exist. Take, for instance, the mashed-potato maker by Carmina O’Connor that was a finalist in last year’s contest. “I wish more companies did it,” said Joanne Hayes-Rines, the editor of Inventors’ Digest, who said the Hammacher Schlemmer contest is a way to spotlight ingenious creations that might otherwise go unnoticed. That includes everything from building prototype molds, obtaining patents, finding a manufacturer and, finally, putting the invention on the market. And he also said most amateur inventors haven’t a clue about how hard it is to move from idea to market. Lawrence Udell, the director of the California Invention Center, said that less than 3% of all patents issued earn more money than is spent on development-a figure that can range from a few hundred dollars to millions. Picone’s long road to recognition is nothing new. ![]() The wrench will soon be an item in the famed Hammacher Schlemmer catalog-the oldest in the United States and one that specializes in high-end gadgetry. “I could have sold a thousand of them,” said Picone of his $39.99 wrench, which grips a bolt with the flick of a battery-powered switch. His prototype was a hit at a recent national hardware convention. His big break came when his wrench was the 1999 grand prize winner of Hammacher Schlemmer’s Search for Invention contest, which netted him a cool $5,000 and enough buzz about his product to allow him to move forward and attract financing for his own manufacturing facility.

![]() Perfect Balance Yoga will help you get healthy-spirit, mind and body.Happy New Year!!! The wheel has once again turned and a new year with new opportunities awaits us all. (Albeit it’s been a while since I’ve done yoga.) So, if you’re looking for a place to help you get fit, try yoga this year. I truly love Perfect Balance Yoga, and how wonderful I feel after a session. They might even teach you how to do this-minus Rudy the Reindeer. You can give them a call at 222-6212 if you want to chat before stopping by. You can buy yoga clothes, mats, music and other fun stuff. Giovanni makes his own tea, owning Chai By Giovanni. In fact, they have more to offer than just yoga classes. They will educate you, and give you suggestions. If you are nervous about taking a yoga class, don’t be! Joanne or Giovanni can answer any of your questions. There are lots of other options as well, so give one of them a try! If that doesn’t work, you can always do a community yoga class, which is only $5!!! That class is on Sunday’s at 4pm. This is helpful because then you can see what type of yoga you like best. You can go to any classes (with the exception of the prenatal or a workshop), as many times as you’d like in the 10 days. If you are interested in taking a class, but are new to yoga, Perfect Balance offers a deal where you can pay $30 for 10 days of classes. There are also workshops and special events held every so often. They host an array of classes, for varying ability levels. It’s a quaint little studio, and you are instantly calmed once you walk in.

My daughter would go to get her body healthy, I would go to get my friendship meter filled. I think I continued to take my daughter to the children’s yoga just because I wanted to see Joanne. She always remembered stuff that was going on in my life, and she seemed interested in what I had to say. Every time I would see her (and even to this day), she would make me feel loved and important. Joanne is such a sweet and loving woman, and her spirit is welcoming and encouraging. That was also when I met one of the co-owner’s, Joanne, and I loved her from the moment I met her. At the time they offered a children’s yoga class, to which I took my now 12 year old daughter. I first went to Perfect Balance Yoga 10 years, or so, ago. I realize that yoga is not the popular work out trend as it once was, but it should be! One of my most favorite places to do yoga in Fresno is Perfect Balance Yoga. ![]() Have you ever tried yoga? If not, put it on your to-do list for 2015. Actually my suggestion can help in more ways than one. So, instead of you going out and wasting your money on a gym membership, let me give you an alternative way to lose weight. I knew that if I just waited a few more months, there would soon be better parking, and the machines would be less busy. I have a gym membership (which is collecting dust-but that’s a whole ‘nother post), and the gyms are always the busiest around the beginning of every year. ![]() By the time April rolls around, I bet the enrollment goes back to normal. I’m curious, how many of you guys are vowing to lose weight? You know the gyms are extremely popular around January and February. The most popular answer (wow, my Family Feud addiction is now carrying over to my writing) is to lose weight.

![]() ![]() ![]() Also, please bear in mind that even though Degree has been carefully programmed to detect errors in the source temperature data and to minimize the chance of calculation errors, we cannot vouch for the accuracy of any data that Degree generates. You should use your own judgement when deciding whether or not to use data from any particular station – only you can determine the level of accuracy that you require. We do what we can to correct for these problems (we are obsessive about calculating degree days as accurately as possible), but we also feel it's important for us to highlight the underlying data-quality issues, to help people decide which weather stations to use, and assess the accuracy of their data analysis. So it's generally better to choose from the top of the list rather than the bottom.ĭegree is not unique in having to deal with less-than-perfect temperature data, as pretty much all real-world weather stations have at least minor problems occasionally.

You can hover your mouse over any station to see a popup with more specifics. You can click the "map" link to see where they are all located, and each listed station will have a blue bar indicating how far back in time the data can go (the coverage), and a star rating indicating the estimated quality of the data (based on the " % estimated" values mentioned above). When you search for a location, you will typically get a long list of weather stations to choose from. ![]() We mark all affected figures with a " % estimated" value so you can assess the impact of the problems detected.

But lesser stations may have shorter data histories (e.g. Many stations in our system have a long history of reporting frequent, regular, accurate temperature readings, from which we can calculate high-quality degree days going back a long time.
