Glenda, I know how you feel, well not exactly but I to suffer with a back issue with a blown disc and often I will be laid up with a flare up.
Take care inspiring friend,
I went to your inspiration and saw that Rene Russo photo I have loved her style ever since I was a teen, her on the front cover of that famous book of actresses and what hair she has, so perfectly relaxed.
All that you inspire in home decor I relate to soulfully.
Take care, see you soon

Ari Ashe, wtop.com
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- More than 300 people turned out before the House Ways and Means Committee to discuss Gov. Martin O'Malley's plan to raise the gas tax and replenish the Transportation Trust Fund.
According to the Maryland Department of Transportation, the bill would generate about $800 million annually by 2016 and create $3.4 billion in transportation investments during the next five years.
But the bill would also add a sales tax to gasoline, meaning the overall tax could increase from the current 23.5 cents to 42.7 cents by 2018.
"Maryland's trust fund is broke. We need more money for transportation, including mass transit. The question is how to do it," says Lon Anderson, spokesman for AAA Mid-Atlantic. "(Senate President) Mike Miller has a bill that would spread the pain more fairly. Gov. O'Malley's bill would put almost all of it on motorists and would make Maryland's gas tax fifth largest in the nation by 2018."
The current 23.5 cent gas tax has been in place since 1992.
"Drivers have had a discount in a sense because of the flat fee. It has not been subject to inflation, like the cost of business, household goods and incomes, which have all gone up," says Chris Thomas with CH2M Hill, an engineering and construction company.
But some gas station owners are worried that a higher gas tax will cost them customers.
"If this thing passes, it'll put me 25 cents over the Virginia market. My customers will go across the Wilson Bridge to fill up," says Fazal Sirhandi, who owns multiple gas stations, including one at National Harbor. "People in Prince George's County will go to Virginia to buy gas. It'll hurt the economy of Maryland and it'll put me out of business."
"If the gas tax passes, it'll be passed on to the consumer. That means at least 20 cents more a gallon over six years on gas," says Roseanne Biggs, who manages a gas station in Clinton, Md. "People can't make it now, things are hard. I have customers who at the end of the month come in with change from the piggy banks to get gas until the next paycheck."
Other critics don't think it's right to continue to tax Marylanders.
"It seems absurd to raise this tax. It's 102 percent over the next two years. It's just another burden on Marylanders we cannot afford," says Dee Hodges, President of the Maryland Taxpayers Association.
But supporters of the bill point out that the Transportation Trust Fund will go dry without new money.
The Maryland Department of Transportation says new construction projects would virtually stop in 2017 without money.
Also projects like the Purple Line connecting Montgomery and Prince George's County, and the Corridor Cities Transitway near I-270, would be put on hold.
"The Purple Line is critical. I would use it if I was in Bethesda and had business in Silver Spring. I would get there in 15 minutes, rather than having to around the Red Line. My neighbors are Terps fans and would more easily get to football and basketball games," says Nick Brand with the Action Committee for Transit of Montgomery County.
Montgomery County Executive Isiah "Ike" Leggett and Prince George's County Executive Rushern Baker have been vocal about how important the Purple Line is to keep the two counties competitive with their neighbors in Virginia.
"We need some east-west connectivity in Montgomery County. It connects us both ends of Metro's Red Line and makes a connection to Prince George's County," says Leggett.
"This revenue bill will not fully fund the Purple Line, but it gives us the funds to continue the design and compete for the federal matching funds," says Acting Transportation Secretary Darrell B. Mobley.
In a recent letter, Mobley told the Montgomery County Council that without new money, the Purple Line will have to be put on hold.
The bill could also help Metro and MARC.
"The system is aging and it needs more investment. Money is hard to come by in any of the three jurisdictions. We're looking for Maryland to step up and set an example by putting more money where its mouth is," says Ben Ball with the WMATA Riders Advisory Council.
Metro's Momentum Plan calls for several upgrades and improvements to system, including adding capacity at key transfer points like Metro Center, L'Efant Plaza and Rosslyn.
"It's important to connect the MARC train to Greenbelt and College Park. I want weekend service, midday service, late night service. That is the best way for people to get out of their car and connect them between Baltimore and Washington," says Howard County Executive Ken Ulman.
Money from the bill will also go towards repairing aging bridges and roads.
About 500 bridges are rated in "fair" condition, meaning they are not dangerous, but to need repairs.
"Without a revenue increase, we would not be able to fix those bridges or re-pave roads that need it," Acting Transportation Secretary Darrell B. Mobley says.
"The system is very old. Most of our roads and highways need reconstruction because there are too many potholes that are unsafe for cars and motorcycles," President of the Maryland Asphalt Association Brian Dolan says.
A recent report from the National Transportation Research Group (Trip) found Maryland drivers spend about $1,820 each year on fuel wasted in traffic and on repairs from damage on poor roads.
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, 84 percent of Maryland's roads are over 30 years old and 25 percent were built before 1930.
"Gov. O'Malley's gas tax hike proposal doesn't make roads in Maryland a priority and it, instead, protects the status quo of prioritizing mass transit spending which drivers overwhelming oppose," says Nick Loffer, spokesman at Americans for Prosperity Maryland.
While Montgomery County Executive Ike Leggett says the bill will create jobs in Maryland, AFP Maryland released a report last month saying the gas tax would cause 2,000 jobs to be lost.
Another criticism that came up was the "lockbox" provision, which attempts to stop lawmakers from raiding the Transportation Trust Fund again once it's replenished.
"We must put the trust back into the Transportation Trust Fund. And that means a constitutional amendment to stop raids on the Trust Fund for other governmental purposes," says Gus Bauman, who chaired the Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation Funding in 2011.
Senate President Mike Miller's bill had that constitutional amendment, but O'Malley's bill does not.
"I think we need to have a legal mechanism to make it very difficult to transfer money out of the Transportation Trust Fund. More difficult than it has been before," says Ulman, who has announced he'll run for Governor next year.
Ulman stopped short of saying that he'll support the constitutional amendment, but said it shouldn't be touched unless it's a financial emergency.

My wife love it is a simple but beautiful ring. Serves well as a anniversary ring.
My husband got it for me to wear next to my engagement ring and WOW is it stunning. Love the detail on the band that goes all the way around. The diamonds are gorgeous and are such a nice compliment to my other ring. I love it and you can never go wrong with white gold. Shocked at the price - great quality!!!!
My husband purchased this ring for our vow renewal for our 25th wedding anniversary. It is absolutely beautiful!! It's a very modern ring (which my husband likes) with an antique flair ( which really appeals to me). It turned out to have more weight to it than expected which is good. I tend to need a heavier ring. Yet I find the ring to be ultra feminine. The pictures are close but don't really capture the brilliance of this ring. I feel any woman would be proud to wear this piece!
This is a stunning ring. Very sparkily. the only bad thing is the band is a little thick and took some time to get used to wearing.
Purchased this product for my wife's 30th birthday. The engraving detail along the sides is very similair to her engagement ring which made this ring even more special. Given budget constraints this was an excellent deal. I would highly recommend it for an anniversary or special birthday.

The 5 Most Important Skills for Time Management for Students
About this time in the semester as finals, multiple papers, and projects are due, your student might be feeling pretty overwhelmed. Lending a sympathetic ear is definitely one way to help, as sometimes your child may just need someone to validate how busy and overwhelmed they are feeling. You might also forward this article to them and suggest they take one minute to read it. Maybe just one point that will resonate with them and help them better manage their time as they finish this semester ... hopefully carrying this skill into the next semester as well.
The following article comes from Kelci Lynn Lucier at About.com.
Everyone knows that good time management skills are important for students if you're going to do well in school. But what skills are needed for good time management?
The 5 skills listed below just might be the most important time management skills you'll learn during your time in school. Sure, they seem easy on the surface -- but executing them on a daily basis can be harder than it looks. If you're having trouble, just try one a week until they've all become habit.
1. The ability to say "no." Party this weekend? Cool club to join? Overnight trip on Saturday? Quick pizza with your roommates that turns into 3 hours of just hanging out? Helping that cutie you have a crush on with the chemistry homework? Learning to say "no" can often feel darned near impossible during your time in college -- but saying "yes" to everything can often be impossible, too. Learning how to say "no" is difficult but important for good time management.
2. Spacing things out. Translation: Don't procrastinate. Do you know you have an ugly midterm/paper/lab report/research project due in, say, one month? Don't wait until the last week to get started. Space things out a bit so you manage your time and workload in a steady flow instead of one gigantic wave.
3. Using social time wisely. College is amazing because there is always something fun going on that you want to be a part of. Unfortunately, college is also incredibly challenging for this exact same reason. Instead of feeling like you're missing out on something whenever you try to do your homework, work your on-campus job, etc., remind yourself that there will be something fun to go do once you're done. And then you won't have to feel guilty about enjoying yourself, since you'll be all caught up.
4. Prioritizing and reprioritizing -- constantly. No matter how on top of things you are, life just happens sometimes ... which means, of course, that you'll get sick, your computer will crash, your roommate will have some kind of drama, and you'll lose your cell phone. Good time management often requires the ability to prioritize and reprioritize and reprioritize again as things come up. And having good time management skills also means that, when things shift around, you'll be able to deal with it instead of suddenly finding yourself in a crisis.
5. Keeping your health/sleep/exercise in check. Sure, you have about 25 hours worth of work to do each day -- and that doesn't count the time required to sleep, eat, and exercise. Yet filling in those 3 little things can really make all the difference in your ability to manage your time well in school. Staying up a little too late here or there? Maybe not eating a healthy dinner every night of the week? Usually okay. Making those actions not just exceptions but patterns in your college life? Bad idea. In order to stay on your game, you have to be physically and mentally able to play your game. Practicing a little self-care can really go a long way to making sure you can take care of all you need to do with your limited time while in school.

The curriculum vitae (CV) is the most significant document in your academic application packet. The CV is a running record of your academic and professional achievements and experiences. Unlike the resume, which is used for jobs outside academia, the CV can be more than one page. Typically, CVs for doctoral candidates, post-docs, and recent grads are 2-6 pages. The CV should grow in length as you progress in your career. If you are having a difficult time getting started with your CV, check out the examples at the end of this handout and ask your advisor or mentor if you can see a copy of his/her CV. BASIC TIPS • Remember there is not one right way to compose your CV. • As you are writing your CV, check with a faculty member or other colleague within your discipline because some fields have different expectations regarding CV format and/or content. • Consider tailoring your CV for each job description. This takes time and energy but targeting your materials in the beginning should save you time in the end (in other words, you submit fewer applications and get a job in a shorter amount of time). • Keep in mind that the purpose of every document in your application packet is to show how you are passionate, forward-thinking, valuable, and a great match with the job description. • Always have somebody proofread your materials before you send them out. Having a misspelled word on the first page of your vitae is a good way to get your materials discarded.
Some assignments will call for an abstract. An abstract is a summary of your paper. An abstract should be short and concise but include the topic of your paper, the main points you are writing about, and the conclusions you reach. Do not indent the 1st line of your Abstract It should be written in block format Include a brief sentence summary for all sections of your paper. An abstract is typically 150-250 words long. Your paper should: word Introduction as a heading. It is understood that the opening paragraph of your paper is your introduction. The APA suggests the following set up for an * be double spaced * have 1 inch margins introduction: Introduce the problem, explore the importance of the problem, describe relevant scholarship, and explain your approach to solving the problem. This may vary depending on your assignment. * be typed in Times font * indent paragraphs ½ inch or 5-7 spaces The Body of your Paper Headings should After you write the introduction, you will develop the body of the paper. be boldfaced, centered, and all major words In a formal psychology paper documenting an experiment, the standard capitalized structure for an experiment is: Method, Results, Discussion.

Sample Research Project in the Context of a Freshman Writing Course Prepared by Steve Tollefson, College Writing Programs, UC Berkeley, 2005 Includes Final Research Paper, Annotated Bibliography and Reflection on the Process Internalizing Dead Kings and Ambiguous Art Marian Feldman has been a member of the UC Berkeley faculty for the last seven years and is currently Assistant Professor in the Near Eastern Studies Department. She has published two articles, two reviews, and is in the editing process of her first book. The publications reveal Feldman's process of internalizing her academic interests by the stylistic differences between the articles. In her professorial career thus far, Feldman has donned various roles as art historian, archaeologist, professor and writer. This paper provides insight as to how Feldman's personality and different aspects show through in her writing and by changes in her writing over the course of her publishing career thus far. As I enter my first college class, my attention goes to Professor Feldman, a tall, slender woman in a loose pearl blouse with black dress pants. The combination of her graceful stance and scholarly presence distinguishes her already from the chaos of the lecture room. The calm demeanor spreads through the room as she gradually turns the lights down low, signaling the beginning of lecture, and gives life to the art historian's companion, the slide projector. Her slow and steady speech is punctuated by inflections at nearly every other word and reflects her scholarly presence. She picks her words carefully and you can sense the moment's thought before each. Her precisely chosen words make each one valuable as I frantically try to catch them all. Feldman incorporates her elevated vocabulary in daily speech and lecture, requiring that I form my own vocabulary list: mélange, koine, cache, lingua franca, etc.

Been lurking here for a while, but this post finally has me registering and posting
Thanks for making it - this will be very helpful!
A trinket not on your list is the Meteorite Whetstone out of heroic Utgarde Pinnacle
It strikes me as being awesome for fury. How does it stack up with the other trinkets posted?
Why is hit rating so weak nin your computations?
Also Hemorrhaging Circle - Item - World of Warcraft
heroic gundrak, epic ring,.
Because after the specials cap it's pretty bad in relation to the other stats.
What do you mean by "Special Cap"? Any link?
Ok, tell me if I'm wrong, it means this SEP rating is for hit rating after you've reach 197 hit rating? (with Precision)
That's a lot of hit rating! Is that so easily reachable?
Do you personnaly have a SEP value for hit rating for those who did not reach 360 hit rating yet? Wouldn't it be pretty much like Expertise SEP (e.g. 1.1), since they have both the same rating amount per % and affect both yellow and white?
Yes, the SEP for hit would be equivalent to expertise before the specials cap.
Hey corb, noticed a lot of things missing. I'm assuming you're updating this as the days go by and as soon as wowhead uploads new item databases for them?
I am, yes. Been pretty occupied with playing the Xpac lately. Expect updates shortly.
Can i assume you forgot the "Planetary Helm" (Planetary Helm - Item - World of Warcraft) under the Helms section?
Seems a pretty decent helm for TGs build. And keep up the good work!
Edit: ive just read that you will update the post soon... anyways, dont forget to include it
I'm just glad I found somebody to post some SEP values. I have been going with my own, which was more or less the same as what we've got here, but I've had a hard time finding a reliable source to compare. Thanks, Corb.
I also wanted to know how you came up with your SEP value for Agility? I came up with something closer to .675 by combining it's crit & armor(ap) attributes, am I missing something?
Edit: Forgot about Kings.
Last edited by Nesnah; 11-26-2008 at 04:01 PM.
Agility's SEP is based on the equivalent amount of agility to equal crit rating's contribution to crit % (after Kings). Pretty sure my math is right, but I'm not 100%.
Missing Fool's Trial for necks (naxx 25) and Drake-Mounted Crossbow (heroic utgarde keep)
Also, the SEP for hit assuming hit cap can be really misleading, its a lot more difficult to special hit cap for TG at 80 than it looks like even with gemming and enchanting for hit, so something like Spiked Titansteel Helm would be much higher up on the list
Obviously, the actual values will change, sometimes drastically, depending on your overall gear and current target (and its armor). The SEP value for hit rating assumes you are over the specials cap. Gem slots assume +16 Str gems.
AGAIN: THIS IS NOT A CONCRETE VALUATION; ACTUAL STAT VALUE DEPENDS ON MANY DYNAMIC FACTORS. This is merely a rough guide.
I think what I'll do is have 2 SEP totals for items that have hit and/or expertise, indicating what their values would be both before and after the respective caps. On a side note, expertise is proving to be much easier to cap than I had expected.
Which is why I've decided not to gem for it, despite it being a superior stat at times. Also, the surplus of expertise allows us to drop points from WM into a different talent to ensure we're getting the full benefit of itemization.

We fell in love with Rosamund Pike when she played the fancy glamazon in An Education alongside Carey Mulligan and adored her chilling turn as a (gasp) intelligent Bond girl in Die Another Day. But it's her red carpet turns that have kept us enthralled away from the silver screen (see the gallery above for proof). From Alexander McQueen gowns to flirty-and-funky Peter Pilotto numbers, the actress always hits the right note and is forever backing British. So how pleased are we to hear L.K.Bennett have cast Lady Pike as the face of their Spring Summer 2013 campaign? Well, very.
'Rosamund's English charm and celebrated career make her the ideal ambassador,' the L.K. team said this morning and they're not wrong - this is no brain-dead clothes horse. In fact, Rosamund is an Oxford graduate who's garnered amble stage experience in several Shakespeare plays as well as many a film role. What's more, at 33, her refined beauty is perfect for representing the sophisticated brand who counts a certain Duchess of Cambridge as a fan.
L.K.Bennett are certainly delighted with their new muse. 'Her beauty and intelligence in the roles she has played on film are captivating,' says Didier Drouet, the brand's CEO. 'The energy and life she brings to the images perfectly encapsulate the L.K.Bennett woman.' Hear, hear!
Rosamund Pike in L.K.Bennett's campaign; Kate Middleton *hearts* their heels
To prove Drouet's point, a shot of the campaign for the brand's latest collection has already landed [above left], shot by photographer Mariano Vivanco and styled by Cathy Kasterine. The shoot took place in Belgravia (where else, darling) in a quintessentially British location that over-looks Buckingham Palace Gardens. Wonder if K-Middy popped in for a cuppa? Rosamund, who is currently starring alongside Tom Cruise in Jack Reacher, looks confident striking a pose in the collection's ladylike tailoring and classic pieces.
'I think that L.K.Bennett is the perfect brand for the working woman because it gives you that ability to feel dressed and polished without feeling overdone and I think that is the key to making you feel good and giving you confidence,' says our Rosamund. 'It gives you freedom to play and that's what makes clothes exciting.'
The Spring/Summer 2013 collections are available instore and at www.lkbennett.com from January 2013.

It's Friday which can mean only one thing: it's time to take a look at our favourite celebrity Twitpics of the week. Alexa Chung has been swatting up with a copy of the, err, Kama Sutra. Not your usual tube journey reading we'll admit, but with so many commuters clasping copies of Fifty Shades of Grey this year, why the hell not!
The Delevingne sisters were on top form at the Chanel Metiers d'Art Show in Scotland as Cara took to the runway and Poppy sat front row. Alongside pictures of the runway looks, Cara couldn't help herself but go all cross-eyed in the presence of Karl Lagerfeld (can you spot his trademark ponytail in the background?). Poppy meanwhile posted a snap of her hot pink Jimmy Choo stilettos with the caption 'Come to mama'. Yet another reason why we'd love to have a rummage in the style icon's wardrobe.
Not to be outdone in the quirky stakes, Alexa also posted a montage of her goofy close ups which led us to dub her and Cara the 'Instagram twins'. Their shared love of pulling funny faces, wearing onesies and dressing up as animals has ensured there statuses as the kooky queens of social media. Alexa's friend Pixie Geldof got in on the funny face action too this week, as did Girls actress, writer and director Lena Dunham who Tweeted a close up picture in a pair of shades.
Take a look through our top pics of the week in the gallery above...

When going to a courtroom hearing most would opt for a classic black dress, with Kate Middleton style court shoes and perhaps a demure 'I am innocent' pashmina thrown over the top. But not Lindsay Lohan as for this troublemaker every courtroom is a catwalk.
Yesterday LiLo was back in court AGAIN and this time she opted for a 3.1 Phillip Lim white, sheer ensemble. Yes you heard us sheer, she wore a pair of (shock horror) see through trousers. But don't worry the judge didn't see her, erm, firecrotch as a panel covered her modesty. Accessories wise she wore a rosary over the top - an improvement from the time she sported F*** U nail art on her middle finger.
Head to toe white + religious symbols? LiLo was clearly trying to win over the judge with her virtuous angel get up. Philip Lim might not be thrilled to see their designs in the court house, but they could have a sharp boost in sales as Kimberley Ovitz told Fashionista that Lindsay's white dress she wore to court quickly sold out.
So it got us thinking about courtroom fashion. When Naomi Campbell testified at former liberian president Charles Taylor's war crime trial she wore cream Alaia - top marks for Naomi. A liiitle less appropriate was the time she wore a Dolce & Gabbana gown and stilettos to the last day of her community service.
Back in 2007 when Grazia asked her about her courtroom couture she said 'Why shouldn't I have done? Why should they expect me to go looking bedraggled or something?' She told us that she didn't plan to turn up in the sparkly couture: 'I decided on the day and I still gave them what they wanted, it didn't stop me from doing what I had to do though.'
Winona Ryder also faced criticism for her 'inappropriate' court room get up, when she wore a sheer Marc Jacobs dress back in 2002 when on trial for shoplifting. But our all time fave courtroom look was Nicole Richie's Audrey Hepburn-esque Moschino LBD.
Take a look through the gallery above to see top courtroom fashion. Want to see ALL of Lindsay's courtroom looks? Look below to see her rather extensive courtroom wardrobe...

Apple seeks anti-snoop display patent
Apple has filed a patent application for a way to vary the viewing angle of a display, and thus allow you to better protect your viewing privacy. The system in patent application number 20110116017, "Systems and methods for electronically controlling the viewing angle of a display", offers a number of examples – or, in patentese …
Good if it works.
I can't be the only one bothered by people peering over one's shoulder while I'm watching Gorilla Action... Wouldn't it be possible to simply hook up some LCD spectacles? If you can touch-type this would seem to be an answer (other than watching movies of course).
Oh, and err, the 'Cone of Privacy™' - nice one. I assume someone at El Reg was a fan of Get Smart and the infamous 'Cone of Silence'. Still, to me, one of the funniest things I've seen...
I have a better technology!
Flicker the screen so fast that a image would replace the desktop so people would just see wallpaper or a logo and the person using the pc will wear googles of the correct frequency to let him see the desktop.
Flicker the screen
seizures r fun
But, but... prior art!
Nintendo already made it to the market with the 3DS!
...oh how ashamed I feel for scorning something I hold dear for the sake of humor...
Didn't this already exist?
We spent all that tech and money on displays which had ever wider viewing angles and now they want to go backwards again :)
Working Prototype Available?
This appears to be an electronically adjustable (or selectable) louvre filter. (Fixed louvre filters have been available for many years).
The method or technique seems to be the selection of one of two (or more) light pathways, that have different 'louvre' characteristics. Fine - but - anybody with a bit of experience of LCD type displays could have thought of that.
Have they actually developed these little switchable filter cells? I suspect not.
Isn't it the case that a patent application requires the existence of a working model or process?
I would like to patent a light filter cell (or sheet) that varies it's angle of light transmittance over a very wide range with the application of a small, variable d.c. voltage. No, of course I haven't made one. All I need to do is think about it and patent it then anybody who does manage to develop one has to pay me.
> Isn't it the case that a patent application requires the existence of a working model or process?
Nope. You patent the detailed design, not the implementation. No need to even build a prototype, although it might be better if you did have to.
If the design is too general they aren't supposed to grant the patent, and even if they do it's usually easy to challenge.
I have had a security foil for years..
I bought the security foil as the same time as I bought my (then very new) 3GS. The novelty is thus in the fact that the display itself will have some sort of secure mode, which is interesting as you stop having to stick fiddly bits of plastic on devices, and it can used as needed.
Handheld gaming console?
Considering the mix of specific and generic devices listed in the applications to which this patent might be applied, the handheld gaming console is conspicuous by it's absence.
One wonders if this is because Nintendo already patented a similar method for adjusting the viewing distance on the 3DS screen for that use and forgot to include all the other possible applications.
Game Player
That probably covers "handheld gaming console", as an aside Range Rover has a screen where the driver sees a GPS map and the passanger sees a movie both from the same screen. This sounds a lot like that.
damn. I could have used that feature in a tv.
When I was married. I still can't stand Julia Roberts' movies, and my ex probably still hates everything that I like.
Page after page of dry repettitive descriptions which, when you can finally discern the useful ino and put it together into a coherent picture, could have occupied a mere fag packet. The only thing I could get out of it was that Claim 4, which includes "...third axis that is perpendicular to both the first axis and the second axis", seems to be decribing a three-dimensional arrangement of scattering regions (??).
Anyway, I don't need privacy this way - if anyone is sitting that close I'm inhibitted anyway and couldn't even compose a shopping list.
So what
3M makes an over the screen filter that does pretty much does the same thing. I personally need a wide viewing angle and wouldn't have a need an anti-snoop display.
Abolish patents
So they patent all conceivable solutions to a problem. Anyone other than Apple who invests money into solving the problem by making one of those solutions work is wasting their money as Apple already owns it. And this is supposed to encourage innovation how?
> So they patent all conceivable solutions to a problem.
No, they patent all the solutions that *they* have conceived.
Innovation comes, as always, from someone looking at their ideas and saying "Neat, but *I* can do it better like this".
He forgot automated ATM machine.
Couldn't they just use a REALLY crap LCD panel with a horrible viewing angle? Probably save a few bucks too. I just don't really see a market for it. If your privacy is that big a concern, don't wave your iPhone in people's faces.
@ P Zero
Couldn't they just use a REALLY crap LCD panel with a horrible viewing angle?
I had an HP tablet PC like that. I loved it, before the iPad came out, and I sold it to get one.
The iPad has a very solid, aluminium back. I sugges that if anyone's gawping over your shoulder, they should get one warning, and then you just beat them to death with it. Problem solved.
It's also quite well shaped for scraping out shallow graves. Though this does tend to scratch the screen...
I eventually realised it was "butt-in...sky"
but I read it as "butt in [the] sky"
Because ALL my mice have video screens on them, if only I had a transparent hand...
Missed a trick there guys
By "waggling" the beam angles of pixels individually you can create 3D
(tm) me
oh wait .... 3D is so last year
Tilt for Hello Kitty
You can buy films that stick to your mobile that do this exact thing, for about $1, they have been around for at least a decade.
Remember these?
I remember those tilt cards I got in a boxes of Cracker Jack. You could tilt the other way and see Hello Titty.
Or maybe ...
... just maybe, private shit should be done in private, not public, innit.
I'm just sayin'.
In my mind, this is yet another useless Apple patent application. (Is there an app for that? Honestly, the mind boggles at the (cr)app that comes out of Cupertino these days ... ).
Who cares about steamy letters
Now I can read the DailyMash in a meeting with impunity
Now any time you see somebody using a computer with what looks like a dark screen you will think they've got something to hide and move round to get a better view. To defeat that I have just this minute invented a lenticular screen that displays a different image to shoulder surfers on either side, showing some innocent non-attention-grabbing kind of display.
Range Rovers
you mean like the one Tata put into Range Rovers a few years ago already?
Doesn't the Range Rover have a display which shows one image to the driver (eg. Sat-nav) and another to the passenger (eg. DVD film)?
source: Top Gear.
That's what i was thinking but I think that was a fixed angle display. Also i think this is more about 3D, imagine you have a front facing camera that can detect where you are looking (fighter jets already have that tech) then by controlling the viewing angle of each pixel you should be able to fake 3D without the eye and brain strain.
Already Exists
When I switch from to landscape to portrait I get a narrow angle display.
Use a snoot.
Oh good, this won't affect my upcoming Private Wrist Watch.
Not actually an invention.
Anyone can say "Oh, we can make a privacy-protecting screen, using tiny pixel-sized beam steerers, if only there was such a thing as tiny pixel-sized beam steerers", but until you've actually invented tiny pixel-sized beam steerers, you haven't invented fuck all.
Yet another fraudulent abuse of the patent system by someone who hasn't invented something but has just come up with a "Oh, wouldn't it be nice if..." bunch of wishful thinking.
You may not understand this but in many cases it is required that you actually come up with an idea as to how to do something before you make something. This is what is generally know as R&D or research and development. Contrary to your belife the patent system is not about products but ideas, that is the sharing of ideas. People are given a limited time monopoly on new ideas (hence prior art) as long as they share the idea with others.
Yet more Apple Tosh: Ever heard of Polaroid or 3M - ATMs use it
Here we go again, Apple trying to re-invent other peoples work.
There are already films, applied screens, that do this and at least one type of LCD does, too.
Dumb U.S. patent office
Read the article
It a patent upon a method. Think of it as making coffee, Apple are doing what AeroPress did. Did AeroPress get a patent on making coffee, No but they did get patents upon a way to make coffee.
Excuse me, but...
People witter on about privacy this and privacy that, and company giants file fantasy patents to solve the problem (one would wish dearly that "working prototype" was a pre-patent requirement).
The solution is much simpler and won't affect your display quality...
...do your private stuff in private. Is that so hard now?
there's always an upside
The craptacular TN panels in run of the mill Dell laptops already have a viewing angle so narrow that they almost require a headclamp to use, win!
Why bother looking over someone's shoulder
Give them a couple of minutes and it'll all be uploaded to facebook, and then twit a tweet that twits all about it.... or is that tweet a twit.
Quick, file a patent
for apply a thin layer of film that does exactly the same thing, and when you need wide view screen, just flip the film over.
I remember at one company made a easy attach/detachable filter film screen years ago.
"composing a steamy love letter [in coach] without that busybody next to you peeking"
Then again, if you're so attached to your iThing that you need to use it to get amorous with your significant other, you really, really need to unplug more...
I'm waiting for a display
with a viewing angle wider than 360 degrees.
Stick-on protectors (ooh er missus) aren't exactly rare, and it's much easier to swap them by hand than it is to embed an Objective-C class in Cocoa to support a feature on an Apple display that's going to impress exactly thirteen people, and - for all anyone knows - one confused badger.
Prototype? Nah.
@frank ly and Steve X, nope, there doesn't have to be a working prototype. Even worse, at least here in the US, it seems patents don't even need to have a description of how a prototype would probably be built anymore. People will come up with these ideas, patent them, without the vaguest clue on how the patent would POSSIBLY be implemented. So then, by the time some actually, you know, INVENTS something, it's absolutely coated in patents. Damned unfortunate.
This specific patent is at least REASONABLY detailed, but I do feel like at least a 1-pixel prototype should be, if not built, then at least schematic'ed out specifically. I'm working on a provisional patent and I "practice what I preach" -- I have a fully functional reference implementation.
Balls, this is for a 3D display.
Looks that way, the privacy stuff is just there to hide what they are really thinking I suspect.

Describing her first job in food
Sophie Slesinger, "cheese maestro"
WASHINGTON - Zagat calls her a young cheese maestro, but fellow alumni of the Whitman High School grad know her as Sophie.
Sophie Slesinger, who works at Saxelby Cheesemongers in New York, was recently named to Zagat's 2013 list of "30-Under-30: New York City's Food and World Up-And-Comers." The honor not only puts Slesinger, 25, at the top of her peer group but also afforded her the experience of ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell Tuesday.
"When it came close to 9:30 a.m., they cranked up the music, which was this sort of stock, action movie soundtrack which was very hilarious. And they cranked that up and there was a countdown and everyone was clapping and cheering," Slesinger explains.
While taking photos with fellow winners, Slesinger didn't know that those pictures would be projected on the front of the Nasdaq building in Times Square.
"It's definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity," she says.
All the attention seems a far cry from her start at Bethesda's Praline Bakery, run by two former White House pastry chefs.
"I basically knocked on the door during construction and bothered one of the owners, Susan, until she agreed to hire me," Slesinger says.
While she loves working at New York's Saxelby Cheesemongers, Slesinger says her big dreams are tied to her family's Sicilian background.
"I love the idea of working with my family and carrying on tradition and preserving history, and bringing something so delicious from my family and my life to everyone and having them fall in love with it," Slesinger says.
Zagat describes part of the reson why they chose Slesinger in its 30-Under-30 blog post.
"After getting her degree at Emory University, she arrived in New York City and ultimately landing a gig working with cheesemonger Anne Saxelby, helping to produce her fromage-focused show "Cutting the Curd"on the Heritage Radio network. Slesinger also focuses on working with wholesale customers and doing marketing and events," the blog entry says.
Georgetown graduate Laura Ryan, 27, also made Zagat's list. Ryan works in communication and special projects for Craft Restaurants.
Zagat's entry for Ryan says, "a recent promotion now has her managing all of the charity and food events for (Tom) Colicchio's restaurants, and acting as the hub of the group's social media and deals with partnerships.

Aksana is the latest WWE diva to be featured in a "day off" photo shoot.
Aksana dressed up as an evil queen for a special Halloween photo shoot for WWE.
While the backstage heat on Aksana has subsided over the last few months, some of it has returned this week, as a few people are blaming her for the eye injury that Naomi Knight suffered on Monday Night Raw this week, even though it was an accident.
While working a match against Aksana on Monday Night Raw this week, a little accident took place that gave Naomi Knight an assortment of eye injuries, including a bruised orbital bone. WWE medical staff gave her some ice and medicine backstage, and she's expected to make a quick recovery.
For a while there, Aksana had some backstage heat on her in WWE because of her performances during the European tour. However, a lot of that heat has died down tremendously, as she has slowly received more television time. Aksana is also a candidate to join Total Divas next season.
One of the rumors floating around backstage is that Aksana will be added to the cast of Total Divas when the show starts filming for next season. If management does choose to go with her as the new addition, then WWE will start pushing her on television.

Latest update : 2012-09-20
Swing states will decide who wins the White House in 2012
After the big party conventions, the United States has now entered the final stretch in the race for the White House. Both the Republican and Democratic campaigns are giving it their all, but mainly in just a few states; those that are too close to call and have many voters still undecided. These states can and will decide the 2012 presidential election. Today we visit one of them, Virginia, a part of the USA that has traditionally voted Republican but in 2008 went for Barack Obama.

CycleOps Mag Trainer w/o Adjuster $199.99
It's a jungle out there -- train safe.
Logging hours during the winter is key to starting your spring riding season off on the right foot, but we forgive you if you don't want to deal with slushy roads and less than favorable weather. If you'd prefer to log those base miles indoors, the CycleOps Mag Trainer lets you do just that. To tailor your training, you get five different resistance settings, which span the gap between an easy spin, and high-resistance hill climb simulator. When spring rolls around, your friends won't know what hit 'em.
The classic series Mag frame supports the magnetic flywheel from which the Mag derives its name. It provides linear resistance, or in other words, unlike a fluid trainer, the resistance doesn't increase as your wheel travels faster. As you'd expect with a quality mag trainer, it gives you the option of five levels of resistance. That means that you can go between low-impact base miles and high intensity training without an issue.
The CycleOps Mag Trainer is available in one size, and in one color.

Fractional flow reserve, or FFR, is a guide wire-based procedure that can accurately measure blood pressure and flow through a specific part of a coronary artery. The measurement of FFR—an index that determines the severity of narrowings in coronary arteries—helps doctors assess whether or not to perform angioplasty or stenting on a blockage to improve blood flow to your heart.
Studies have shown that a functional measurement such as FFR can determine if blood flow is significantly obstructed by a blockage. If flow is not affected, a blockage may not need to be addressed with angioplasty, and a patient may only need a combination of medical therapies such as medication, diet and exercise.
A very thin guide wire is inserted through a catheter during an angiogram. This is a smaller catheter than is used for angioplasty and stenting, so it is usually an outpatient procedure. The guide wire is guided into place at the blockage or lesion, and your blood flow is measured. Results are displayed as an "FFR value" on a monitor. An FFR value of less than 0.80 typically requires interventional treatment. Blockages that score higher than 0.80 can generally be treated by medical therapies.
Wear comfortable clothing. Before the test, remove any necklaces, bracelets, rings or other jewelry. You should also remove nail polish from your fingernails and toenails.
The entire procedure usually takes about an hour and a half, but it may take longer if additional tests are required. The length of the test is not an indication of the seriousness of your condition.
Minor bruising and a small lump or knot (smaller than a quarter) at the insertion site are normal and expected after a catheterization. This should go away in two to six weeks. Check the site occasionally for oozing, swelling or enlarging lump/knot. This is an indication that you are bleeding internally or externally. If this occurs, your physician should be called immediately and you should lay down flat and have someone apply firm pressure on and above the puncture site for 15 to 20 minutes.
Should swelling and bleeding continue as you press, you need to reposition the point of pressure slightly and follow any further instructions your physician has given you. If bleeding persists, you should call 911.
The soreness and bruising should disappear within two weeks. It is normal for the site to feel tender for about a week.
Patients should:
Care of your incision:
Call 911 or go to the emergency department of the nearest hospital if you develop:

Adventure vacations for couples can be fun and fulfilling in Chile and Argentina. There may be other countries in the world that earn accolades for their winemaking, but there is a hidden gem to be discovered in the wineries of Mendoza, Argentina.
This wine region is a favorite destination for tourists and wine connoisseurs. Usually, many wine regions offer only a wine tasting experience while they keep their techniques a secret. Not so in Mendoza. In fact, they often share their recipes and techniques. Tourists enjoy getting a first-hand experience in winemaking.
