4. The device of claim 1 wherein the first and second surfaces are endowed with grooved structures thereby making them capable of inducing alignment of the liquid crystal molecules in contact with the said surfaces.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a liquid crystal twist cell which has a variable transmission coefficient.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Liquid crystal devices have been the subject of intensive technological development for a number of years. Such devices may be utilized in optical memory units, display devices, or switches and require only small amounts of power for efficient operation. The liquid crystal devices fall into three distinct categories, depending upon their specific mode of operation.
In the "dynamic scattering devices" the transmission characteristics of the liquid crystal are altered by causing an ion current to flow through the crystalline material. The turbulence which is generated by this current flow is sufficient to render the otherwise transparent liquid opaque.
In a second class of devices the liquid crystal is mixed with an appropriate dye which is characterized by an anisotropic absorption coefficient. In this configuration the liquid crystal is used as a host which may be aligned by means of an electric field. The alignment of the liquid crystal host alters the alignment characteristics of the anisotropically absorbing dye. This alteration in the alignment of the dye affects its absorbing characteristics and hence alters the transmission properties of the device.
A third type of liquid crystal device--the twist cell--was first described by Schadt and Helfrich in Volume 18 of the Applied Physics Letters at page 127. Unlike the prior devices, the twist cell operates by rotating the direction of polarization of an incoming electro-magnetic wave.
In the twist cell a liquid crystal is sandwiched between two plane surfaces, with the liquid crystal molecules oriented approximately parallel to the surfaces. The molecules, although arranged in such a planar configuration, are still free to point in any given direction in the plane parallel to the surface. In a twist cell the distribution of directions of the individual molecules is made to continuously change from one surface to the other. In this manner a configuration of molecular orientations is formed which may be visualized as similar to the steps of a ladder which has been twisted into a helix about an axis which runs through the center of the steps. In this heuristic picture the steps represent the individual molecules. In a Schadt and Helfrich twist cell the total molecular rotation from one surface to another is about 90�, and hence these devices are sometimes referred to as "quarter-turn twist cells."
According to a well-known optical principle, light entering the crystal, polarized in the plane of the liquid crystal molecules near the entering surface, and either parallel or perpendicular to the molecules has its direction of polarization rotated as its traverses the crystal. The amount of rotation is equivalent to the amount of molecular twist.
If an electric field is applied to the crystal and is caused to point from one surface to the other, then the molecules in the central region of the cell will be aligned approximately parallel to the electric field rather than approximately parallel to the liquid crystal boundary surfaces. Such molecules will be approximately perpendicular to their previous "field off" position. In such a configuration light entering the crystal as before will not have its direction of polarization rotated and hence will traverse the liquid crystal unaffected.
It is apparent that if a polarizer is placed at the exit of a twist cell and is aligned parallel to the cell surface, but with its polarizing direction perpendicular to the alignment of the molecules closest to the exit surfaces, the light will only be transmitted through the polarizer when the field is on. This may be understood by considering that when the field is off, the polarizing direction of the polarizer is aligned to accept light whose initial polarization direction would not permit passage through the polarizer, but whose rotation by the twist cell permits such passage. However, when the field is on, the direction of polarization of the incoming light is not altered as it traverses the cell. Consequently, the light exits the crystal polarized in the same direction as when it entered the cell. Since the polarizing direction of the polarizer is aligned in this direction, the light will be transmitted through the polarizer. A reflecting surface placed beyond the polarizer will cause the light to be reflected back through the cell for viewing purposes. If the polarizer is rotated by 90� the cell will be "off" when the field is on, as opposed to the above mode of operation.
While the above devices are attractive for many applications, the abrupt change in the transmission of the twist cell limits its application. Specifically, when used for display purposes, the cell cannot easily reproduce pictorial information because of difficulty in displaying grey tones.
I have analyzed the optical properties of liquid crystal twist cells. I have studied the dependence of these optical properties on the molecular orientation at the two plane surfaces; the thickness of the liquid crystal layer; the electric or magnetic field applied across the liquid crystal; the dielectric or magnetic anisotropy of the liquid crystal; the direction and wavelength of the incident light; the optical anisotropy of the liquid crystal; and the three elastic and five viscous parameters associated with the liquid crystal. As a result, I have shown that when the elastic parameters of the liquid crystal are maintained within a specified range, the transmission characteristics of the cell vary more gradually with the magnitude of the applied field. Consequently, a useful grey scale may be generated by controlling the magnitude of the field applied to the cell. A plurality of such cells may then be utilized for both static and dynamic pictorial display purposes.
FIG. 1 is a representation of a liquid crystal quarter turn twist cell in the absence of any external alignment means applied to orient the liquid crystal molecules in a direction perpendicular to the cell surface.
FIG. 2 is a representation of a liquid crystal quarter turn twist cell with an alignment means applied to orient the liquid crystal molecules in a direction perpendicular to the cell surface.
In FIG. 1 the elements of a liquid crystal quarter turn twist cell are displayed. The particular device shown has additional elements which allow it to be used as an ambient light display device. Such a device requires no internal light source for the operation but rather reflects ambient light. In FIG. 1 no external alignment means is being applied and the device, as shown, is in a non-reflecting mode.
A quarter turn twist cell requires polarized incident light for its proper operation. For applications which utilize ambient unpolarized light, a polarizer, 11, is needed. In this manner the light entering the first cell surface, 12, is polarized parallel to the directed irregularities of this surface, as shown by the arrow 10. The polarizer may alternatively be aligned at right angles to the irregularities with concomitant alterations in the alignment of other elements, when necessary. The irregularities are on the inner surface of 12, which is exposed to, and consequently orients, the molecules of the liquid crystal, 13.
The orienting surface 12, may be of any material transparent to the light being utilized. This light is usually in the optical range from 4500 Angstroms to 7500 Angstroms. The material 12, or a surface applied to it, must be conducive to any one of several treatments which enable it to orient the liquid crystal molecules adjacent to the surface. Such treatments include etching or grooving the surface, and are further discussed in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,787,110. As will be discussed in the description of FIG. 2, the cell also requires an external alignment means, usually in the form of an electric or magnetic field, applied to the cell. To facilitate the application of such a field the surface 12 may be coated with a transparent conducting material to which a voltage may be applied in order to establish the field.
The liquid crystal material 13 is located between the surface 12 and an essentially similar surface 14. However, while the surface 14 is parallel to the surface 12, its directed structures are oriented approximately perpendicular to those of the surface 12.
As the orientation angle changes from 90 degrees the contrast ratio of the device decreases. It is consequently preferable that the orientation be within 5� of 90�. Since the molecules nearest the surfaces orient themselves parallel to the directional structures of these surfaces, the intermolecular forces tend to result in a twisted crystal configuration when the surfaces are oriented as in FIG. 1. The twisted configuration of the liquid crystal molecules 13 is shown in FIG. 1.
As discussed in the section on prior art, light polarized in the direction shown by the arrow 10 tends to have its direction of polarization rotated by the twist of the liquid crystal molecules. After traversing the liquid crystal, the light is polarized in the direction shown by the arrow 17 and passes through the surface 14. In order to effectively rotate the direction of polarization of the light, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer should be at least twice the wavelength of the light.
A polarization analyzer 15, if aligned as shown in FIG. 1, will prevent the further transmission of the light 17. The surface 16, capable of reflecting light at the operating wavelength, will be ineffective in that no light will reach it. In this configuration the device is normally off. The polarizer, in an alternative configuration, may be aligned to pass light of polarization represented by 17 in which case the device will be normally on. For the purposes of the following discussion, however, we will assume the configuration shown in FIG. 1.
With the device in the normally off configuration, an external means is required which will enable the device to be turned on when desired. It is found that an electric or magnetic field may serve this purpose. The device of FIG. 1 is reproduced in FIG. 2 with the additional field represented by the arrow 18. The means for producing this field may be external to the device or may be in the form of conducting surfaces on the layers 12 and 14 as mentioned above. An appropriate voltage for example, applied to such conducting surfaces would support the necessary field. An A.C. voltage is preferable insofar as it does not produce crystal degrading ion currents. If the liquid crystal is of positive dielectric anisotropy the liquid crystal molecules will align under the influence of the field as shown in FIG. 2. In such a configuration the molecules are ineffective in rotating the direction of polarization of the incident light 10, and such light will leave the crystal material in the orientation shown by the arrow 19. This is the critical effect of the field 18, insofar as in this configuration the light is now transmitted by the polarizer 15 and reflected back through the cell by the surface 16. To the viewer the device then appears "on." Numerous such devices may be fabricated in any array capable of alphanumeric display.
The device as described has a number of undesirable optical characteristics which have recently been shown to be amenable to improvement. Such improvement is discussed in my commonly assigned application entitled "Liquid Crystal Twist Cells." However, the device even as improved, has essentially only two modes of operation--"on" or "off." The reason for this is associated with the nature of the response of the crystal to the orienting field. A particular threshold value of field magnitude must be reached before any significant orientation occurs. However, once this threshold value is reached, small changes in the field result in significant reorientation of the molecules toward a direction parallel with the field lines. Consequently, the range of field values for which the crystal is only partially reoriented, is very small. It is difficult under such circumstances to accurately and reproducibly partially reorient the crystal. The ability to partially reorient the crystal would enable one to fabricate a twist cell with easily variable transmission characteristics and therefore with the capability for grey scale reproduction. It is clear that a device capable of reproducing even a limited grey scale would have wide application. Such a device could be used for static or dynamic pictorial representations. However, in typical liquid crystal twist cells, once the threshold field has been applied the crystal molecules are efficiently realigned by the applied field and hence there is little opportunity for intermediate modes of partial transmission.
I have discovered that the alignment efficiency of an applied field is closely related to the ratio k11 /k33, where k11 and k33 are specific elastic constants. These constants are well known in the art. k11 is related to the resistance to splay among adjacent molecules, and k33 is related to the resistance to bend among the adjacent molecules. In typical liquid crystals, k11 /k33 is greater than 0.4. For such values the molecules rapidly realign over small values of applied field change once the threshold field value has been reached. I have shown that for elastic constant ratios in the range ##EQU1## the molecules realign over a much larger range of applied field change. Under such conditions it is more practical to apply specific field values over which the molecules are only partially realigned perpendicular to the orienting surfaces. For these values the cell is partially transmitting and a "grey scale" may be reproduced easily by applying fields of appropriate value.
The limits in Equation (1), determine the magnitude of field change required to go from nonalignment to essentially complete alignment of the liquid crystal. The upper value in Equation (1) results in a field range amenable to practical grey scale reproduction. However, this limit may be further lowered, resulting in a more detailed grey scale and less stringent requirements on the reproducibility of the particular field values.
The device illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a reflective surface for display purposes. However the ability to reproduce grey scales is applicable to the simple transmission device, without the reflective surface, as well, and the practice of this invention will significantly broaden the application of such devices. Furthermore, for the purposes of illustration a quarter turn twist cell has been discussed. However a twist cell with some other angle of twist may be equally effective. For example, the 90� orientation of the grooved structures would allow for a three quarter turn or higher order turn twist cell.
The parameters constituting a preferred embodiment may be confidently stated on the basis of both the laboratory experiments and computer simulations performed by the applicant. In such an embodiment the orienting surfaces represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 by 12 and 14 are square glass surfaces one centimeter on each side. A layer of tin oxide, applied to these surfaces, is used to produce an electric field by means of an appropriate alternating voltage. As discussed before, an alternating field eliminates the destructive effects that the passage of a current, associated with a static field, has upon the liquid crystal. A layer of silicon oxide is then evaporated onto the tin oxide surface from an angle of 5� relative to the surface. Such an evaporation process results in the appearance of directed groove structures, separated by approximately 100 Angstroms, in the shadow direction of the evaporation. It is found that such a structure imparts an approximate initial 5� orientation relative to the surface to the molecules closest to the grooved surface, thereby increasing the field's efficiency in flipping the molecular direction to the direction shown in FIG. 2.
In this embodiment, the liquid crystal is a 10 micron layer of 4-cyano-4'-n-octyl biphenyl. The elastic constant ratio is brought within the range of Equation (1) by elevating the temperature of the crystal to approximately 34.2� C. At this value the elastic constant ratio indicated in Equation (1) is approximately 0.1. The temperature necessary to achieve this ratio will depend upon the purity of the crystal, and, depending upon this purity, will be within a range of about 10�. The specific temperature required is approximately one-half a degree above the smectic to nematic transition point. This transition point may be determined according to principles well known in the art and consequently, the specific temperature required for this embodiment may be easily determined independent of the degree of purity of the crystal.
The polarizer is a commercially available POLAROID� polarizing filter and is oriented as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The reflective surface is a simple silvered mirror. The device constructed according to this example displays an extended field range in going from nonalignment to essentially complete alignment of the liquid crystal. It is consequently, particularly amenable to the reproduction of grey scales.

Re: Hang on..
Not at all:- the ubiquitous X-box was definitely a consumer device success. There's hardly a house with teenage lads (of any age) which doesn't have one.
Whether it's a commercial success is a different matter: I have no idea how much MS makes and has made from the X-box line, as 'expert' testament varies so much.
No, I'm not an avid gamer - I'm a 63 yr old Mac user who wouldn't be interested in a free X-box, but then it's not marketed at me or people like me.
It appears from what I've seen to be an excellent product of its type, and it really is rather silly to slate it just because it's got a Microsoft badge on it. Whatever you think of MS as a company is not the point, but you can't deny that the X-box is a) very successful and b) a damned good product. Sure there have been a few irritations along the way but surprise! these have usually been Marketing-led decisions which have often resulted in a little backtracking.
It's the responsibility of MS beancounters to sort out its commercial viability - and carry the can if they screwed up.
Re: Good efforts
I must say, sandman, I'm pretty much with you 100%.
Be it from Apple, Samsung, Google or whoever - I just can't see the point of a smart watch.
When the first iPod was released, I saw its benefits over my little Walkman which required me to free off the cassette tapes it ate at frequent intervals, and carry umpteen cassettes with me.
When smart phones were first released - usable ones, that is, I saw the benefits and potential benefits over the limitations of my Motorola RAZR.
But I can't see the benefits of a big clunky watch which needs daily charging and appears to do not much more than act as a secondary interface to my phone.
No doubt in the future they will do all sorts of things I can't even imagine now, and prove to be the definitive solution to all the problems I currently don't even realise I've got.
Until then, I'll stick with the Seiko that best beloved bought me 16 years ago which keeps great time, looks good and only needs a new battery every three years or so (I think), and a new leather strap occasionally.

Expensive blingo-rama iPhone 5S OUTSELLS cheapo-plastic 5C
"In the US, iPhones are effectively almost free because phone prices are obscured by the carriers. It's only in the rest of the world that iPhones could be considered expensive status symbols."
Nope:- Here in the UK, phone prices are (and have always been) very obscured by the carriers - I got an iPhone 5 64GB from my carrier with unlimited calls (landlines & mobiles, any network), unlimited texts, and a 2GB monthly data limit for £40/mo on a 2year contract.
How much did I pay upfront for my £700 phone? Nothing, Nichts, Zilch, Nada, Rien.
I use calls & texts heavily - data at 2GB seems so far more than adequate.
Over 2 years, I'll pay £960, so over and above the £700 cost of the phone, for £130/year - £2.50 per week, I get the aforementioned usage and effectively an interest-free loan to buy a phone which, at the end of my contract, will fetch a very good price if I sell it on & upgrade.

Re: If the figures regarding Mac sales are correct...
Well one of the reasons for declining Windows PC sales is not specifically Windows 8 - or even Windows 7 or even Vista. I am aware of many corporate entities who won't upgrade their H/W because it's still happily running XP - and at least half a dozen techiesI've spoken to in the last few months are unconcerned at the demise - as far as Redmond is concerned - of XP. I have heard comments like "We'll buy in support" and "Our firewall handles all our security".
Are they right?
Only time will tell - but when you're not running extremely testing software such as graphics packages, there simply isn't the pressure to upgrade.
As a previous commenter wrote, only graphics types, video types & gamers really need to chase the newest developments. Office 2007 running under XP continues to run as it always did - and that is sufficient for huge numbers of corporate users.

Not at all:- my (many) recent posts express approval of Surface/Windows/Android users who state that what they've opted for suits them. It's the third-form standard of poorly expressed tribal comments such as yours which I find irritating.
At one time, El Reg used to be full of detailed factual reporting, with considered rational analysis where appropriate but nowadays one feels that it's akin to buying the Daily Telegraph and finding it to be produced by the same folks who produce Viz.
Don't get me wrong - Viz can be quite entertaining, but not if it's masquerading as a serious publication.
I certainly expect something more from correspondents/journalists than juvenile playing to the gallery and sophistry.
Your whole comment - if you think about it - shows you to be steeped in that which you erroneously & unthinkingly accuse me of. I could finish, like you do, with some childish comment regarding you and your character - but I prefer not to sink to such levels.
Biblical comments concerning planks and eyes come to mind.
All this whilst people are awaiting new machines. Also, the anticipated release of OSX Mavericks is hardly something which can compare to the release of Windows 8.1

However, I applaud the stand taken by EasyDNS in that when told by Mr Plod to bend over, their response is to remind the authorities that if the police wish to enforce the law, the police must abide by the law, and a company is only obliged to comply with a police request when that request is lawful, backed by the legal system and not because it is the whim or fancy - no matter how justifiable - of an individual officer or group.
Justice must itself be above suspicion, open and transparent - although I would concur with those who might say we're not quite there yet.

The Thanksgiving holiday found me driving a rented GMC Acadia from Tampa to Southeastern Kentucky for our annual family reunion. Friday kicked off the second leg of our trip as the family and I journeyed down I26 in South Carolina, picking up I95 on our way to Savannah Georgia. The round trip is about 1,800 miles and offers a lot of time for reflection. Seeing a couple of old cars including a first gen Mustang and a cool candy apple red Oldsmobile 442, I lamented the fact that you don't see many C2 Corvettes on the highway anymore. Then I came across Charlie and his 1965 Corvette Convertible. Settling in behind the Nassau Blue 1965 Convertible, I set the cruise to 75 and kept a respectful distance. It was in the mid 50′s on Friday, a bit chilly for top-down driving as you can see. And because of the chill in the air and my six year old sleeping in the back seat, I decided against putting down the windows to hear the sound emanating from the side exhaust of the blue Convertible. The feeling of driving a midyear Corvette down a highway is something that can't easily be explained. It's just one of those things that has to be experienced for yourself. Seeing Charlie made me wish I was on a road trip in my 1966 Corvette, driving down the highway on my way home from what must have been a cool adventure. I snapped a couple photos of the 1965 Convertible and then made my Savannah exit, leaving Charlie to continue on by himself, never knowing a Corvette brother-in-arms was in that white GMC that tailed him for those few miles. Monday morning came and I was reviewing the photos from the long weekend. Seeing that the 1965 Corvette had a Florida vanity plate, I decided to see if I could track down the driver. Looking first to see if he was a member of any of the forums, I struck gold on my first attempt with the Corvette Forum and sent Charlie the following message:
Charlie: Very nice 1965 Corvette. I was lucky enough to fall in behind you for about 20 miles on I95 in South Carolina just before the Georgia border. I was driving a white GMC SUV. Send me your email and I will forward you a couple of photos I took. KeithCharlie responded back within the hour:
aka keith@vettefinders on the forum…
Keith: I remember a white SUV that stayed with me for a while. It was a beautiful day and I was feeling good. I was headed home from Thanksgiving with my family in Charlotte. I spent the night in St. Augustine and the next morning I stopped at the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona. Too many cars to see in one day. I had to be home in Ft. Lauderdale by Saturday night.I sent Charlie the two photos I took of him in his Corvette, both from the rear as he headed down the highway. Turns out he was on the final leg of an extended road trip which took him and other members of the Sting Rays Corvette Club up to Deals Gap North Carolina for a run on the Tail of the Dragon. Charlie's Corvette is ideal for highway driving as he dropped a Tremec 5-Speed into it during the second restoration. You can see the former barn car for yourself on page 80 of December 2007′s Corvette Fever Magazine. We passed a couple of more emails during the day and I suggested the two of us meeting up in January at the NCRS Winter Regional in Kissimmee, Florida to say hello. Charlie, I was tired and bored from the long ride and then I saw you and your beautiful Corvette driving down the road. Thanks for allowing me to tag along! Related:

Former Corvette Chief Engineer Dave McLellan who led the Corvette platform from 1975 through 1992 is planning on launching a Corvette podcast on his forthcoming website CorvetteChief.com. Appearing on the Podcast Answer Man, Dave says his 18 years at the helm of Corvette in addition to his close proximity with Corvette fans will be the basis of planned topics. McLellan followed in the very big footsteps of Corvette's first Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov who retired in 1975. Under McLellan's watch, new technologies were introduced to Corvette including ABS, traction control, airbags, keyless entry and extended mobility tires. He produced the first 140 mph Corvette in more than a decade and his crown achievement was development of the original King of the Hill, the Corvette ZR-1.
"I interact with enough Corvette folks in a years time that I have a pretty good sense of the kinds of questions that people want to ask about the car, or about me or about you know the guys who are doing the car today." Said McLellan, "It makes the most sense to start out just talking about things I know and are interesting to me and that I think will be interesting to other people and then let it branch from there and that's where feedback is very useful."The new podcast will be produced by BitCastMedia.com and will be appearing on Dave's soon-to-be-released website, CorvetteChief.com. We'll keep an ear to the intertubes for more details when the site goes live.

Those of you who are knowledgeable in Corvette trivia know that the name for Corvette came from Chevrolet's Chief photographer Myron "Scottie" Scott, who turned a dictionary to the letter C and found the name of "a speedy pursuit ship in the British Navy". With a fresh licensing deal from General Motors, Malibu Boats will be helping Corvette return to her roots by building the new Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V, a water sports boat based on the design of the 2008 Corvette C6.
This isn't the first time Malibu Boats has produced a Corvette for General Motors. In the 1990′s Malibu produced boats with styling cues from both the C4 and C5 Corvette. Now, the 3rd generation Corvette Sport-V will be available in both Coupe and Z06 editions. The Z06 package includes the 512 horsepower 7.0 liter LS7 and features Z06 emblems and trailer wheels.
Previous versions of the Malibu Corvette featured a Corvette styled hood, an instrument panel styled like a Corvette dash and a bucket-seat interior trimmed in the Corvette pattern. Actual Corvette emblems are strategically placed inside and out, while openings for the bilge vents have been integrated into the transom and styled like Corvette taillights. Even the dual exhausts carry Corvette-style extended chrome tips, while the matching trailer flashes four frenched taillights and genuine Corvette alloy wheels with Z-rated Goodyear tires.
The new Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V will be unveiled at the Malibu Boats Dealer meeting in November and should be in showrooms this winter. Based on previous sales of the C4 and C5 Malibu boats, these limited production boats won't be available for long.

A couple guys from my Corvette Club (Tampa Bay Vettes) made the 1,100 mile trek from Tampa, Florida to Corpus Christi, Texas to take part in Vettes and Jets on the Lex last weekend and luckily for us they set up a temporary blog so we can follow their adventures. If you've never seen 300 Corvettes on an aircraft carrier, it is a site to behold. According to the local paper, the event broke a record for most cars on an aircraft carrier and raised almost $60,000 for the Wounded Warriors Project and United Service Organizations of South Texas. After this event, Richard and Wes are heading north to Effingham, Illinois for Mid America Motorworks annual Fun Fest.

I just ordered the new book by Mid America Motorworks' Mike Yager, the aptly titled Mike Yager's Corvette Bible. The book sounds like an interesting concept and I am looking forward to reviewing it. Every model year has its own chapter that delves into the historical and technical details and provides insider tips for buyers and sellers.
The book is huge with over 300 pages of commentary, graphs and photos and is priced at $24.99 plus shipping. My NCM E-Newsletter says that for every copy sold through the end of the year, Mike will donate $5 to the National Corvette Museum. As an added bonus, Mike will also be personally signing each copy sold.
I'm looking forward to receiving this book and after I've had a chance to review Mike Yager's Corvette Bible, I'll share my thoughts and observations.
Mike Yager's Corvette Bible can be ordered at Mid America Motorworks or by calling 800-500-1500.

Whew, the years are just flying by. As the headline suggests, this week is the second anniversary of the founding of CorvetteBlogger.com. It's been a great ride and I've really enjoyed myself. The blog has come a long way since I first got started back in 2005. As I drive into the third year of being a Corvette Blogger, I am confident about the direction this site is heading and I thought I would share that with you.
The blog will continue to focus on valuations with an emphasis on buying and selling Corvettes because that is really what interests me. The growth of the market and interest from new owners keeps our hobby strong and vibrant. When purchasing a Corvette, knowledge is power. It's my goal to inform you on which models are worth pursuing and why, as well as which models you may want to bypass.
Corvette news plays an important part of this blog. We scour the Corvette world to bring you the latest on what's happening. Most of all, I try to avoid being part of the echo chamber by not only telling you what is making the news, but giving you an analysis of how it may impact the Corvette hobby.
And finally, the trifecta of this blog's content is living the Corvette Lifestyle. The Corvette lifestyle is what binds us and brings us together no matter what model or year you own and it's why I put my heart and soul into this blog. You may have noticed if you've been reading over the last few months that I've been posting stories of how the Corvette lifestyle relates to me personally. It's important for me that you see that I am living the dream… not just talking about it.
The blog continues to be very well received and it's wonderful reading comments from people with various viewpoints. Please! If you're on the site and you see a post that hits home, or if I get something so completely wrong, let me know by leaving a comment.
Lastly, what can I do to make this blog better. If you have some ideas that you think other Corvette enthusiasts would be interested in, please let me know.
So thanks again for being a part of this website and get ready for another year of outstanding Corvette coverage!

Just a quick note to let you know I've been out a few days and will be out a few more. For the rest of the week I will be working extra hard doing this…
Saturday came and with it the quest to meet other local Corvette drivers. I hit the Corvette Florida forum and the consensus for a Saturday night cruise-in in Tampa is Andreh's Insty Tune in North Tampa. Held every Saturday, the informal gathering meets from 5-8pm. Perfect. So leaving the house around 6pm I headed up to Insty Tune. When I got there, the parking lot held 15 other Corvettes, almost all of them backed into their parking space with the hoods up.

"Not wildly impressed…"
Bit surprised by the great reviews. I find this vacuum cleaner heavy to lug around, and the compartment on top with the little brushes in regularly pops open which drives me bonkers! It works well but is noisy and sometimes smelly in use even with a quite new hoover bag. I don't loathe it with a passion but tbh I probably wouldn't buy it again.Read moreLess

"My bestie domestic friend…"
A pricey little thing but has an amazing suck and has not lost power at all(unlike the countless dysons, vaxs and various other models we had before we finally shelled out for this). Compact and bijou enough to fit under the stairs easily. Had to buy a replacement as husband cut through the cord of our original one while removing our carpets; testament to how good it is that he didn't moan about replacing it with the same model. The only make that's ever been able to cope with our appalling detritus - if you can afford one, do not hesitate to get a Miele. (And don't let your husband near it with a stanley knife.)Read moreLess

After a cumbersome Vax I LOVE this dinky little thing! So easy to carry about, it rolls smoothly around, and all the attachments store neatly inside.
Lots of different settings - including 'Silent' which means I can even vac after the kids have gone to bed!
The HEPA filter is also great, and seems to have made a difference for DH, who has asthma.
A bit on the pricey side, but good value, nevertheless.Read moreLess

Popular Workington clothes shop to reopen
Last updated at 20:39, Thursday, 29 March 2012
A Workington clothes shop is set to reopen next month.
Peacocks, on Murray Road, will open its doors after its new owners negotiated new terms with the landlord.
The shop suddenly closed in February, with the loss of 13 jobs. It was one of 224 Peacocks stores not included in the firm's sale to Edinburgh Woollen Mill.
But the firm, which is run by Philip Day, of Brampton, has since bought the Murray Road store.
A spokesman said they expected to open the store in mid-April.
It is not known how many staff will be employed.

There are especially a lot of people living in Appleton who work in office and administrative support (14.59%), sales jobs (11.48%) and management occupations (7.23%).
The education level of Appleton citizens is substantially higher than the typical US community, as 31.19% of adults in Appleton have at least a bachelor's degree.
The per capita income in Appleton in 2010 was $27,106, which is upper middle income relative to Wisconsin and the nation. This equates to an annual income of $108,424 for a family of four. However, Appleton contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.

Last year we had the opportunity to help the Saint Bernard Catholic Church in Southern Indiana get the word out about their annual Corvette fundraiser and we're pleased to announce the details of their new 2012 Classic Corvette giveaway. The annual raffle is an important fundraiser as it provides much needed funds for the Church's school and daycare programs in Rockport. So without further ado, this year's Saint Bernard giveaway is a big block powered 1966 Nassau Blue Corvette convertible.
The Corvette faithful are adamant that Chevrolet needs to stick with some kind of V8 engine that's powered their favorite sports car since the 1955 model.
But Edmunds Inside Line reports that General Motors built 500,000 fewer V8 engines in 2011 than it did five years earlier in 2006.
The Corvette team will need to make a little more room on the mantle for yet another award. Strategic Vision announced last week their list of winners for their 2011 Total Value Awards. The C6 Corvette Coupe took home top honors in the Premium Coupe segment beating out another CorvetteBlogger favorite, the Cadillac CTS Coupe.
What a weekend it was for Corvette!
Not only did the Corvette Racing team finish second and third in the GT class in Sunday's Twelve Hours of Sebring competition, but Corvette capped that success by being inducted into the Sebring Hall of Fame.
And who can argue with the choice?
When we first published the photo gallery of Corvettes that were in attendance at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance in Northeast Florida, the first two pictures we shared were of the #94 Leldon Blackwell Corvette Racer. Since then, we've come across some additional information on the former Sebring race car as well as a video showing the Corvette being prepped by renowned restorer Kevin Mackay of Corvette Repair Inc.
Tanner, Adam and Rutledge are back tonight as Top Gear USA looks to do a take on Top Gear UK's famous Limousine Challenge. The three hosts will be building their own limos: a 1981 VW Rabbit pickup, a 1969 Lincoln Continental, and a 1987 Chevrolet Corvette. So what's the challenge, you ask? Transporting as yet unnamed celebrities to the Emmy Awards Show.
GM Design Director Kip Wasenko calls it "the Corvette Duntov would have built to win LeMans."
Now some lucky – and very wealthy – person will have the opportunity to buy this hand-crafted custom 1963 Corvette unlike any other in the world, complete with a jaw-dropping modernistic design and a twin-turbo, mid-engine setup that boasts 0-60 times below 3 seconds.
Wild Finish Propels Corvettes to Podium in Closing Minutes of 12-Hour Race
SEBRING, Fla., March 17, 2012 – Corvette Racing celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring in style, finishing second and third in the closely contested American Le Mans Series GT class. The final minutes of the 12-hour race saw dramatic shifts of fortune that shuffled the finishing order and propelled both Compuware Corvette C6.Rs onto the podium.
How you would like to win the a new 2013 Chevy Corvette 427 Convertible AND a trip to the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans? For the third year in a row, you can play the Race to Win Corvette sweepstakes for your shot at this ultimate Corvette enthusiasts giveaway and this year, Chevy has made it even easier to enter.
Want to buy the house where Corvette Chief Engineer Dave McClellan has resided for the past 42 years?
McClellan and his wife Glenda, in an aim to downsize now that he is 75 and she is 69, have their Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired estate on 12 acres up for sale for $589,900, the Detroit Free Press reports.

The Sacro-Iliac Lyrics - 10cc
Review The Song (1)
Here's a new dance that you all can do
Baby, baby, what's he gonna do?
Sit back and relax 'cos it's good for you
Baby, baby, what's he gonna do?
what's he gonna say?
He's takin' my breath away
Well if you're tired of doing the Boogaloo
And you're afraid of doing the Swim
'Cos you think you will drown
In the noise of the record
And the klutz on the floor
He ain't there anymore
'Cos all you wanna do
Is be alone at the bar
All you wanna do is be alone at the bar
You wanna drown in your cocktail
You wanna leave with the laundry
If your mind is trippin'
But your disc is slippin'
Here's what you gotta do -
In any tempo and any rhythm
C'mon Mac do the sacro-iliac
C'mon back do the sacro-iliac
I said c'mon back do the sacro-iliac
Well it's easy
Here's the new dance that you 'll wanna do
So easy
Don't want to annoy ya with my paranoia
Now I'm doing the dance that is good for me
Baby, baby, what's it gonna be?
I ain't no Astaire, but I've a right to be
Baby, baby, when's he gonna learn?
Where's he gonna stay?
He's taken my breath away
Well I'm bored with the beat of the Shing-a-ling
And the Lindy is leaving me cold
'Cos I've never been freaky or funky or laid back
And the lush on the floor
Isn't me anymore
And I never ever wanna be alone
At the bar
Never ever wanna be alone at the bar
So C'mon Mac do the sacro-iliac
C'mon back do the sacro-iliac
Won't you c'mon back do the sacro-iliac
C'mon back do the sacro-iliac
Won't you come on back do the sacro-iliac

This song is simply brilliant. I have heard it over and over in the past 32 years and it still sounds fresh every time I hear it. The lyrics, harmonies and laid back rythmn together with slide guitar just make it a perfect little song.
