In 8th Grade, I invented a safety feature for electrical outlets. It uses an attachable magnet that goes on the male plug (and stays on the plug when you unplug the appliance) and a magnetic reed switch inside the electrical outlet. The current doesn't turn on inside the outlet until a magnetic field is present. That keeps kids with forks or knives poking into the outlet from being electrocuted.
I won 1st place in Physical Science at the school and the Regional Science Fair that year. I didn't get to go to State because I was only in 8th Grade. If I had been a Freshman, I would have been invited to go to State competition.
My Dad commissioned a law firm in 1975 to do a patent search. They found in Argentina (U S Patent 3,868,160), someone had a similar invention that used a magnet and two others (No. 3,846,598 and No. 3,699,285) that used the ground prong to push the circuit into a closed state and one other (No. 3,596,019) that was just like my idea except it used a pin attachment on the plug to turn on the circuit in the outlet. Another similar invention was a power cable coupler (Patent 3,496,500) intended to be used in marine environments that had a sliding collar with a magnet in it that matched a reed switch inside the coupler housing and actuated it after the cable was plugged in and locked. I never saw those items on the market. The lawyer said otherwise it was a perfectly patentable idea.
Other ideas I've had but other people patented first:
Legos with batteries, wires, lights and motors inside and put together to form a circuit. I have a rejection letter from Samsonite (the US license holder of Lego products at the time). Now Lego is selling my idea.
Dental Floss Picks (I came up with this idea in the mid '70's too, but didn't do anything with it)
GPS Enabled Polaroid Cameras (now Ricoh has announced a GPS Enabled Digital Camera)
Urinal Toy (pee on a sensor and get a high score)
I have a couple more ideas that I haven't seen patented yet... but can't afford the process of getting the patent! It is frustrating waiting too long and seeing your ideas make someone else money.
Are there any other frustrated inventors out there?
hello hello y'all! i am back and starting a 52 project that maybe i'll actually finish this time.
i've had this photo idea in my head for YEARS and finally got to execute it. i'm super stoked about how it turned out. this photo was v inspired by these two photos: one and two
s/o to my bestie sam for helping me make final touches to this pic. without ur guidance i would be LOST
anyways...... see ya next week!

canon 6d
Interested to find out how manageable high iso n how clean can this newly anticipated full-frame contender??
Can Canon 6D truly unplug to deliver those charming whistle among competitive rivals? So far, some relevant mighty headlines free echo had been spreading on the common street with favoritism praise by satisfy user .. but how true it is????
Practically me, no insight technical metrology though , summarise to drill on the interesting highlight of ISO aspect with down to earth unbiased information as I own both the Canon 5d2 n 6D n other canon latest camera.
Here, pushing n testing some of the unusual limit of raising ISO 800 beside the normal ISO 100 with just single count exposure during my night landscape shot ! It seem to picking up some minor dark shadow noise, I don't really see any different up to this point even with my old 5Dmark2. The following iSo may interest more when u start pumping up, differences may appear especially those attempt longer exposure at night with slight struggle noise from ISO2000-3200 when call in. However, 6D exhibit much acceptable cleaner n finer color noise pick up by our common visible eye, when kick harder into ISO3200-6400 region, it slowly turn sucks for my personal limitation preference if pro-longe exposure more than 20s would briefly terrify an image during dark or dimly lit condition, but , still a useful iso helper during good daylight combat to gain for faster shutter speed by day with very less worry.
For ISO 6400 onwards, noise condition varies much with canon top of the line good quality glass that able to shot at widest end. However, a normal third party lens will show it true color, the forbidden ugly yucky noise start rising from f4 onwards.
Ignore the 250,000 ISO. Chances of other lower ISO is mere nonsense or gimmick from major popular website guru-reviewers who testify as still usable, a skeptical commercial tactic or been undertable compensated for self benefit reason to claim positive remarks had screw up many earger buyer into wrong believed.
Final verdict appear that, not really so desirable once after the holy mark iso 3200. Don't fall into the legendary rumors of it high capability of sweet superb ISO terminology , any attempt above that, it simply ruin your image.. Canon's yet need indepth technical improvement with such technology here. Unless people can really afford high end wide opening f1.2 super fast lens pair with such heavenly spec advance camera. If not, forget about it high ISO fantasy at the moment. Focusing was average as less miss n hit continue depend on combination skill during servo tracking mode. Be amaze with the primitive ONe Shot mode. A killer keeper with fantastic result at most time. Overall Color display is towards nice warmer vivid tone, however, exposure may tend to lean on brighter side but acceptable unless u take the effort to manual compensate -2/3 stop depend on what u r metering at.
Congratulate those who're still holding on their 5DMark2, please continue to enjoy the fundamental robust mechanism of fullframe though some may feel somehow back dated but rest assure the substential reliable engineering n technology did proven numerous awards recognition winning shot taken by it predecessor without doubt praise by the world.
I see little trade off for those preparing giving up their mark2. With Canon 6D paper, U may acquire what today's Canon intelligent imaging digi 5+ processor inside with the ability climb up to +3 ev that canon claim able to shot at moon light condition but, but ... remember not a guarantee 100% token it will absolutely strike during critical precious moment that make u hate their promise, I'm seriously afraid photographers may loss more of other essential function what ur 5d2 previously had are awefully missing from 6D.
Last words, keep ur 5 D2 n continue shooting. I'm feeling regret at some point .

Days went, and hours past, but the thought was still there not even thinking of leaving. Rochelle's friend had not long ago gotten cancer. She had passed countless surgeries, with rochelle impatiently waiting outside, but the cancer would only spread...everyday was a fight for survival...but one day, it went up to the point where the doctors had quit, and simply turned off her life support... Only seconds after Frankie finally turned and looked at her.
"you are the best friend I have ever had...and don't you cry for me, and I'll always remember our good memories..."
Then slowly, her eyes shut, deafening the atmosphere by a loud buzz of the machine tracking her heartbeat... Rochelle cried and stayed the whole night by her friend, waiting for her to maybe just open her eyes once more, or maybe just to go out for some shopping and a girls night out.
She realised that you don't know what you have till it's gone, and how tragic it was watching a simple wire unplug from the wall... But this time it wasn't the power leaving.
It was her friends life.
"Attention, everyone!"
Oh, it's the police.
Who did what this time??
Did you unplug your popcorn popper?
Yes!
Well, somebody did something!
"Some of you have sent complaints to the Bijou Planks management about the increase in dangerous crime since the war began."
Who sent that?
I might have. I send in dozens of complaints a week. Just to keep them on their toes.
Oh, good idea!
I haven't seen any violent crime in here.
Except from us, you mean.
Oh, yeah.
Well, those decrepit old yahoos in the balcony have started making nose.*
I thought they were all dead or comatose.
"So, you will be happy to know that the Bijou Planks takes customer safety very seriously."
They do??
Since when??
"In answer, they have hired me. I will be patrolling the theater to quickly subdue any criminality."
Criminality?
Criminalonious undertakings.
Ah.
"And, you will notice they spared no expense. Unlike what is usually associated with the Bijou Planks, I am not a minifig or a PVC, but a fully functional 1:18 action figure. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, you have an actual action figure protecting you."
'Action figure' means an articulated figure, right??
"That's correct. I am fully articulated."
You're 5POA!!
And you look goofy.
'Spared no expense'! Ha! What are you, Ja-Ru??
If they were sparing no expense, why not get a Hasbro Joe?
Oh, or one of those new Joy Toy that have been coming into Paprihaven?
Yeah, now those are fully functional!
"I am an action figure, okay? I'm, you know, action oriented! Okay?"
Are you Ja-Ru?
"I'm one of an increasing number of action figures who refuse to be categorized or branded."
He's unlicensed.
JEH-NAIR-RICK!!!
Your hand extends beyond your waist, how are you even going to draw your gun with no elbow joints??
He doesn't even have a gun.
What!?
"I am equipped with a wide variety of safety equipment such as a flashlight, and a carabiner, and lots of pouches."
Man, the Planks management is CHEAP-O!!!
Hiring the cheapest generic cop figure they could find.
'Action figure'! HA!
"Just call me if you need me! I'm right here on patrol! Oh, wait, there was a new slogan. I think they put it in my pouch..."
And you can't get it.
"Well, I remember it! It's, 'Saying thanks, with a safer Planks!' Was that it?"
Good grief.
NEXT!!

Sometimes we all need to 'unplug' / take a break from the World Wide Web. I wasn't gone a 100% but enough to focus on my family, my daytime job and my photography. I have to say it has been well worth it!!! Because I have had BIG, exciting things happening & I'm still in shock! I'd never guess these big company's would find my work. And no, it is not with Getty images which is probably why I am so excited.
So with that being said, I've been on cloud nine for the past few weeks :)
However, I'm still crazy busy with life itself and with more projects coming up but when I get a few extra mins, I'll jump on here to check out everyone's work. I feel like I've missed so much. :/ Well, I hope all my flickr friends are having an amazing weekend!!! I hope to be back very soon! :) - Sarah
While hiking, I have been seeing a growing number of people taking only a brief view of the surroundings and then burying themselves in their electronic devices. This ongoing project highlights the need to re-examine our need to unplug and just enjoy the beauty of this world.

This image is quite a good representation of how (during a processing time) I feel on the inside. When I say processing I mean trying to establish why I feel the way I feel, what is/has caused it and what is the way forward.
I spent day after day processing for weeks (which, let me tell you is DRAINING!) but as the days turn to weeks, you have less need to process and more time to live a little.
Florida was amazing on so many levels. I didn't quite appreciate how much I needed the break until I was there. Suddenly not having to think all the time about everything, unplug from responsibilities and look beyond your own soap-opera to go and feature in someone elses. That, by the way, is my personal metaphor for life. We are all the star in our own soap opera. Some people are cast members such as friends and family, some people play guest roles and feature now and again and some people stay for a season and leave.
Florida saw a mass connect of many soap operas. On this particular day, Lynne and Rick left to go home plus Cassandra left to go to Germany. Both of them had gone within an hour or two of each other (a couple of days before I was due to go home) and quite honestly I could not get it together after they left. It was like, I connected with these people who were so much fun and sharing in the same experiences as me...and suddenly it was their time to leave. It took me a good while to process, so much so, I had to call my security blanket Phil to understand why I felt the way I did.
He was clear- you have invited many people into your life and suddenly you are alone again. You need to now busy yourself until you are due to come home.
Simples. He was right, I know I am very good at letting people in. I am rubbish at letting them leave. If they do have to go, I have to make it gradual and slow or it throws me into a spin.
So beware, if you are thinking of leaving me, it might not be so easy moohaahahha :)
This is the bottom of Derek's studio. The back wall is dominated of a photographic portrait of Naya by John Sluder (this is for sale if you have $2500 to pay him). Its a real talking point in the gallery.
Derek was making a video teaser for the Kentucky Derby when I was making this. You can see it here.
"This is a parallel world. This is exactly what we expect it to be.
This is the Internet. The web. This is the same world we live in, but we can't see it. Only a few people can, and only if they are out of their mind. That's what it takes to be able to live it. Codes, viruses and sensations. Display, letters and fake fame. Like in our world. So, if you would have the chance now to be able to see it, would it be y or n? Plug it or unplug it? Error. Probably."

Oh the First World War, boys
It closed out its fate
The reason for fighting
I never got straight
But I learned to accept it
Accept it with pride
For you don't count the dead

Similar to a previous photo I posted, but the plane that left Dulles here had all their lights on, and I used a more diffused Photoshop treatment to it, with a bit of a warm glow to it.
Anyway, coming next: my first fashion shoot and some pretty cool sunset photos from Ventura last night. Stay tuned, or unplug and go get a coffee. It's freezing out!
Peak trains laying over in the running shed. The overhead track to the left of the lights is the power supply, via the cables, to the shed socket on the train, enabling it to be driven out of the shed. Quite a few were pulled down by drivers forgetting to stop and unplug.

New singing Rapunzel doll has been fully deboxed. She is standing, supported by a doll stand borrowed from one of my Disney Store Limited Edition 17 inch dolls. She is also holding the light up lantern in her right hand, with her arm outstretched to her side. Here she is singing, with the lantern and flowers in her hair lit up.
She is identical to last year's Singing Rapunzel, except that she sings 'I See the Light' instead of 'Healing Incantation', and the packaging is different. The Try Me feature is activated by opening the lid, and she sings 10 seconds of the song. To debox her, you have to open the bottom first, so you can unplug the Try Me wire from the front lid. Then you can lift the inner box (to which the doll is attached) from the outer box. She is attached to the inner box and plastic supports by wires, tiny T-tabs and rubber bands.
After the Try Me wire is unplugged from the back of the doll, she can now sing the 45 seconds of 'I See the Light' by sliding the lantern on her right hand. The lantern and plastic flowers in her hair light up while she sings.
I got the singing Rapunzel doll last Friday (July 22, 2016) from the Disney Store, that I ordered during the Friends and Family sale. I have yet to see her in stores (as of July 31, 2016).
Even though I'm not thrilled with the look of the new Rapunzel's box, the Try Me mechanism is rather neat. You first enable the Try Me switch by pulling a long plastic tab in the back. Then there is a switch attached to the hinge of the front cover, which is activated when you close then open the lid far enough. It will cause Rapunzel to sing about 10 seconds of I See the Light, and light up the lantern she is holding and flowers in her hair. I will post more detailed photos of Rapunzel when I debox her. I still have not seen her in stores yet. And the new singing Belle doll is nowhere to be found, either in stores or online.
Now I have singing rapunzel dolls with three different songs. ''When Will My Life Begin'' (2011 - 2014), ''Healing Incantation'' (2015) and now ''I See the Light'' (2016). I wish that other of the Disney singing dolls would have such a variation in their songs.
The fact that all sides are covered by cardboard (except for the oval plastic window in front), makes the box very sturdy. In particular, all the edges and corners are really stiff, so resist damage during shipping. My doll's box came in perfect shape, which I can't say for most of the doll boxes I order from the Disney Store. The box wasn't packed any better than usual (a few airbags on the bottom of the shipping carton), but the sturdiness of the doll's box made the difference. Also this box is much thicker (deeper) than previous singing doll boxes, and even LE doll boxes, so leaves lots of room to position the doll nicely. The new construction also means the boxed doll is bulkier and heavier than previous singing dolls, so may be more costly to ship.

The brand new scoreboard at American Family Field was not working for Friday night's game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Cincinnati Reds. At over 12,000 square feet, it is one of the biggest in all of Major League Baseball. That is, when it is on. I wonder if an IT tech asked them to unplug it, and plug it back in. That usually fixes any technical probelm.
That being said, it felt like how baseball used to be, with the fans watching the game, and not the giant TV in center field. It also temporarily created the league's largest hitter's black, which is the dark area above every center field wall, allowing hitters to see a white ball a lot easier when it is pitched.
The Brewers won the game, 8-3, and maintained their 7-game lead in the National League Central Division.

I am using an electric drill with a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) expansion bit to bore some mouseholes in the frame of four of my layout sections. I had to spend an hour or more to clear off all the trains, buildings, and track from the top of each section, unplug and remove the wiring, and unbolt the sections from their neighbors before I could cut the holes for the wiring of future track expansions. Then after a few minutes of drilling and cleaning up sawdust, it took another hour setting each of them back up. Above me you can see the horizontal L girder that this layout section will rest upon.

The power jack has three wires so if you unplug the battery pack the camera is powered by the internal film battery. When you plug in the battery the internal film battery is disconnected.
Today our little town was doing a kite day to encourage families to unplug. Only about 20 families showed up but It was still fun to see all the kites up in the air. This was our first time flying a kite and I loved it... I found it to be very relaxing once the dang thing was up in the air.
On a side note I am so behind on this 365. I needed to take a tiny break but I plan on catching up and getting my motivation back.
