With Dijit's remote control features, you can finally clean up your coffee table and put your extra remotes away in a drawer somewhere. Now your phone (or tablet) is your remote. At last your whole family (and even guests) will be able to figure out how to control all the different devices and inputs you have in the living room!
Dijit gives you a perfectly customizable remote control interface, where you decide exactly which buttons appear when you want them to. No more squinting at 73 identically shaped buttons on your remote, just the ones you want and need. Using Dijit is incredibly simple. Add each device you want to control with just a few taps using our included device library.
In addition to the remote control, the Dijit Guide delivers a customized electronic program guide (EPG) for your personal TV channel lineup. Simply identify your cable/satellite provider, and Dijit will find all your listings.

DIRECTV Remote Control
Control your DIRECTV satellite receiver over WiFi! Don't settle for anything less than the *original* DIRECTV Remote Control!
**To use, your DIRECTV receiver must be connected to your network.**
See website for full changelog.
Quickly view what's on right now on all your favorite channels, and switch between them with ease!
Check out the paid version to remove ads and add features!
**To use, your DIRECTV receiver must be connected to your network.**
**To those wishing for volume control**
I'd love to do that too, but volume is a function of your audio equipment (i.e. television set), and the only way to do control such a device is via infrared signals. I don't know of any Android devices which natively support infrared, meaning there would need to be some kind of extra hardware support, not something I'm currently planning on doing.
> Signal meter to check the signal quality of the currently tuned channel--especially useful for installing a dish, since you no longer need to have someone else checking the signal meter onscreen.
> Reset your receiver directly from the app--if your receiver becomes sluggish, resetting will usually resolve any issues
> Full remote control emulation--completely duplicates the physical remote control provided with your receiver.
> Automatic detection of receivers, zero configuration
> Display what's currently playing and what's on right now on all your favorite channels
> Launch the DIRECTV official app directly from the options menu for quick access to DIRECTV's online scheduling utility
> Can be used in conjunction with Slingbox to remotely control the receiver while watching remotely
Setup is simple if you are connected to Wi-Fi. Just press the Menu key and choose "Select Receiver". Your receivers will be automatically detected and displayed in a list.
High definition receivers without DVRs (models H21, H23, and H24) will need to be manually added the first time, or whenever the IP address for the receiver changes. High definition receivers with DVRs (models HR20, HR21, HR23, and HR24) should be automatically detected if they are correctly connected to the same home network.
If your receivers are not detected, you can manually enter the IP addresses and add them to the list.
If you would like to use over 3G or 4G, you must forward port 8080 to your DIRECTV receiver, and manually add your public IP address as a receiver. For now, only one receiver can be accessed via this method.
Requires DIRECTV PLUS HD DVR (models HR20, HR21, HR22, HR23, HR24 and H21, H23, H24) connected to a home network.
This app will NOT let you watch your recordings on your android device. That would require reverse-engineering DIRECTV's DRM, and would likely be found to be in violation of the DMCA.
I am not affiliated with DIRECTV in any way. This app may stop working at any time at DIRECTV's discretion.

Microsoft's recently released Surface with Windows RT tablet may not see huge markdowns in price this year because it is new. "If Surface sales are weak, the tablet may instead go the way of the BlackBerry PlayBook, wherein we'll see its price fall considerably by the spring," says Dovi. (Photo: MICROSOFT)

Anyone who has ever struggled to pitch a tent can attest to how difficult it can be to assemble a temporary shelter. Add the stress of a natural calamity, and every second saved by quick and simple construction is a blessing aided by the genius of good design. Argentine architects Matias Alter and Matias Carrizo have created the Modularflex, a foldable disaster housing unit that packs flat and can be assembled in about half an hour.
Lightweight, flexible and sturdy, the Modularflex modular units are able to be folded flat when not in use and packed six to a group on the back of a truck. With a hinge located halfway up the wall, they can be collapsed like accordions into flat panels. The walls are made from insulated thermal panels, similar to a supermarket cold storage room. They can stand temperatures ranging from -5° to 120° Fahrenheit, and can be customized to be added to other modules for larger dwellings as well as varying the placement of doors and windows. Each model comes with electrical wiring and LED lights.
By being compact and easy to set up, the homes take less energy to move and assemble. These attributes help the Modularflex to conserve fuel in transportation and provide much-needed shelter in a short time frame. Able to be quickly deployed at the point of a disaster without the need for cranes or heavy machinery, the small houses can be stored, saved, and reused in areas that are prone to storms, seismic activity, or other forms of disruption.
The Modularflex was launched in 2012 at the Expo Logisti-k in Buenos Aires. The architects are currently in negotiations with mining companies to provide housing for workers as well as the Argentine military.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/050,366 filed Jan. 16, 2002, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein, which is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/449,318 filed Nov. 24, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,388,813, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
(Not Applicable)
The present application relates generally to guards and protectors, and more particularly, to a stack of removable lenses that can be adhered to a surface and removed one at a time when a new/clean surface is desired.
Face shields are employed in environments where contamination of the eyes may occur. It is well known in the art that flexible, transparent lenses affixed by numerous methods are overlaid on the face shield for protection. The lenses are easily removed and discarded when visibility is reduced from the accumulation of dirt or other contaminants. In motor sports, for instance, multiple layers of transparent lenses are overlaid on the face shield, each being sequentially removed as they become contaminated, because they reduce the visibility of the operator. The drawback of the lenses in the prior art is that each transparent lens applied over the face shield is itself a hindrance to good visibility due to its optical index of refraction. Most common plastic materials have optical indexes of refraction ranging from 1.47 to 1.498. The index mismatch between the removable lens and air (air has an optical index of 1.00) causes a reflection of 4% of the light that would normally come to the operator's eyes. This reflection effect is additive for each additional surface-to-air interface. Thus, for each removable lens having two surfaces, the reflections are 8%. A stack of seven lenses would reflect 42% of the light away from the operator thereby reducing the brightness of the objects viewed. A second optical phenomenon occurs simultaneously that also reduces visibility. The reflections are bi-directional and thus make the lens stack appear as a semi-permeable mirror to the operator. This mirror effect further reduces visibility because the light that passes through the lens stack reflects off of the operator's face and then reflects off of the lens stack into the operator's eyes. The effect to the operator is that he sees his own image on the inside of the stack nearly as brightly as the objects viewed on the outside. This significantly reduces visibility.
Another drawback to this stacking arrangement is that moisture exhaled by the operator's breath can cloud or fog up the lenses, also reducing visibility. The air space between each lens allows the moisture to enter this area.
The requirement of being able to see through a face shield is similar to that of being able to see through a vehicle window. The accumulation of dirt or other contaminants impairs the wearer's visibility through a face shield. In the case of a vehicle, dirt and other contaminants can be washed off. However, graffiti, whether applied (e.g., with paint) or scratched (e.g., with a carbide tip or etched with acid) can cause costly damage to vehicles, such as busses. This problem extends to the entire vehicle, not just the windshield or other windows. In the case of the windshield or mirrors, not only can the damage be costly, but it can impair the driver's visibility.
The examples discussed all share the common problem of having a surface that needs to be protected. A need exists for protecting such surfaces and for restoring them to a clean state.
An aspect of the present invention provides a series of easily removable optically clear lens stacks that do not cause reflection to the operator's eyes. The prior art discloses reflective lens stacks that do cause reflections to the operator's eyes. An example of this type of prior art of reflective lens stacks is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,592,698 issued on Jan. 14, 1997 to Woods.
Refraction is the change in the direction in which waves travel when they pass from one kind of matter into another. Waves are refracted (bent) when they pass at an angle from one medium into another in which the velocity of light is different. The amount that a ray of a certain wavelength bends in passing from one medium to another is indicated by the index of refraction between the two mediums for that wavelength. The index of refraction indicates the amount that a light ray bends as it passes out of one substance and into another. When light passes from air to a denser substance, such as Mylar film, it slows down. If the light ray enters the Mylar film at any angle except a right angle, the slowing down causes the light ray to bend or refract at the point of entry. The ratio of the speed of light in air to its speed in the Mylar film is the Mylar film's index of refraction.
The present invention includes a series of alternating optically clear films whose indexes of refraction are matched to within 0.2 and which will nearly eliminate all reflections to the operator's eyes. The layers of film are adhesively laminated to one another and are compliant so there is no air between the layers. The film layers can be large and generally rectangular in shape and may include a tab extending from each of the film layers. The tabs can be staggered so that the user can remove the top most layer and then the next layer. This embodiment of the present invention can be applied to race car windshields, windows, visors or direct view displays such as ATM machines that are subject to contaminating environments. Accordingly, the present invention is an adhesively laminated multi-layered clear film adapted to be used on a racer's face shield, or on the windshield of a race car to keep the viewing area clean during the course of a race.
Other embodiments of the present invention may be used on a surface as a graffiti stop. The surface may be a vehicle, such as a bus. The lens stack may be applied to the vehicle body and/or to the vehicle windows, including the windshield. Embodiments of the invention used as graffiti stops should not have tabs, as the stack of lenses should not be self-evident. A removable tab can be affixed to the top layer of the lens stack for removing the top layer of film. Such shields should be resistant to scratching and etching, such as acid etching.
Other embodiments may include use of the stack of lenses on the display of a computing device, such as a hand held computing device.
Yet other embodiments may include use of the stack of lenses on a grocery display, such as a produce display.
The stack of lenses may be tinted. Such tinting is accomplished by tinting the bottom lens of the stack of lenses. The stack of lenses may also have a total or partial mirror effect. Such a mirror effect is achieved via a mineralized deposition on the bottom layer of film in the stack of lenses.
An illustrative and presently preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating preferred embodiments of the present invention only, and not for purposes of limiting the same, several embodiments are illustrated. A first embodiment shown in
In the first embodiment shown and described, a stack of laminated transparent lenses is affixed to a face shield of a helmet.
The material used to form the lenses is preferably a clear polyester. The lens layers are fabricated from sheets of plastic film sold under the registered trademark Mylar owned by the DuPont Company. The several trademark registrations for the mark Mylar list several types of products sold under that mark, and include polyester film. The type of Mylar used in the present invention is made from the clear polymer polyethylene terephalate, commonly referred to as PET, which is the most important polyester. PET is thermoplastic�that is, it softens and melts at high temperatures. Uses of PET film include magnetic tapes and shrink wrap.
The adhesive 20 used to laminate the lenses together sequentially is a clear optical low tack material. The thickness of each lens ranges from 0.5 mil to 7 mil (1 mil is 0.001″). The preferred thickness is 2 mil. Even after the adhesive material is applied to a 2 mil thickness lens, the thickness of the 2 mil thickness lens will still be 2 mil because the adhesive has nominal thickness. As illustrated in
The term �wetting� can be used to describe the relationship between the laminated film layers. When viewing through the laminated layers, it appears to be one single piece of plastic film. Less than 2% reflections from the inner layers are evident. The end tab portions without the adhesive exhibit reflections, but do not affect the visibility of the user because these end portions are out of the field of view and folded back over the posts as illustrated in
The adhesive material 20 is a water-based acrylic optically clear adhesive or an oil based clear adhesive, with the water based adhesive being the preferred embodiment. After the seven layers are laminated or otherwise bonded together with the adhesive layers, the thickness of each adhesive layer is negligible even though the adhesive layers are illustrated in
The individual stackable lens package, illustrated in
Referring back now to
The present invention as shown in the Figures has removal tab portions at both ends. This allows a right-handed or left-handed person to easily remove the topmost layer. It also allows the driver to pull the tab with either hand depending on the circumstances of the race. It is to be understood that the present invention may include a laminated lens with only a left tab portion 25, or only a right tab portion 35, or both a left and a right tab portion.
The windshield embodiment 100 illustrated in
The adhesive layer can be foreshortened so as to expose successively a portion of the lens layers without optical wetting to create a grasping tab.
The stack of removable lenses as illustrated in
The bottommost layer of film may be tinted, if desired. Such tinting is similar to the tinting of plastic window film. The tinting can be any one of a variety of colors, e.g., amber, gray, etc. The bottom layer may also include a metalized deposit to produce either a partial or total mirror effect.
The stack of removable lenses 100 can be applied to any type of optical window such as a windshield, a window, a face shield, or a video display. It is common at an ATM terminal to have a video display for the customer. The surface of the display can be kept clear by using the present invention.
The present invention may also be used as a graffiti stop to prevent damage to a surface caused by graffiti (e.g., a vehicle or a sign). For example, graffiti may be written on a vehicle body and/or vehicle windows. The graffiti may be applied, for example using paint or it may be scratched on, for example using a carbide tip or acid. It is very costly to repair property, such as a sign or a vehicle, after such vandalism. The stack of removable lenses 100 of the present invention can be used as a graffiti stop, for example on vehicles such as busses 90. As shown in
The Mylar material used in the present invention is inert to acid. It also is scratch resistant, including scratching done with a carbide tip. Thus, the layers of lenses of the present invention 100 such as those shown in
Preferably, the adhesive will cover the entire bottom surface of the bottom layer that is attached to the surface, e.g., the vehicle. Successive layers may have a portion, for example a strip, that does not have adhesive applied to the surface. The uppermost layer can easily be removed by grabbing the portion of the lens that does not have adhesive and removing the uppermost layer.
When the present invention is being used as a graffiti stop, the layers of lenses should not be apparent to the casual observer. Therefore, the layers should not include tabbed portions. Thus, the stack would resemble that of
The present invention has a multitude of uses where a clean surface is desired in a short period of time. As described above, uses include those where the surface is exposed to large amounts of dirt or debris in a short period of time, such as motorcycle or automobile racing, or instances where surfaces are purposely damaged by vandalism, such as graffiti. It will also be appreciated that the present invention can be used for more conventional uses where normal use causes above average dust or debris on a surface such that a system for providing a clean surface quickly and easily is desired. A couple of examples of other uses for the present invention are described next.
The present invention may also be used on merchandising displays. One such merchandizing display is a grocery display 110, for example, a produce display, such as the one shown in
The reflective surface shown in
Another embodiment of the present invention is for use on computing displays. For example, the present invention may be used on hand held computing devices, such as personal digital assistants, as shown in
While it is recognized that an illustrative and preferred embodiment has been described herein, it is likewise to be understood that the inventive concepts may be otherwise embodied and employed and that the appended claims are intended to be construed to include such variations except insofar as limited by the prior art.

|Key Info
Sandray is one of three former canal worker cottages making up a pretty hamlet of holiday homes at Kytra Lock, a tranquil and secluded waterside spot just outside Fort Augustus on the Caledonian Canal. The cottages boast polished wood floors downstairs and period fireplaces. The use of traditional fabrics also adds to the delightful ambience of these lock keepers' cottages, which have been recently restored by Scottish Canals.
Sandray Cottage sits on the east bank of the canal and is accessed by walking across the lock gates. Parking is on the west side of the canal. Sandray Cottage is one of two semi-detached cottages which provide spacious accommodation for four. The cottage opens into a central hallway off which there is a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and the added feature of a bay window with seating overlooking the canal. Also on the ground floor there is a light and airy open plan kitchen/diner and a spacious bathroom. Upstairs is the sleeping accommodation in a double bedroom and a twin bedroom. A private garden area with outdoor furniture provides the perfect spot for enjoying the canalside scenery.
The cottages at Kytra can be rented individually or booked together in order to cater for larger groups. A 10% discount will apply when booking two cottages together and a 10% discount for reserving all three.

Thank you for your feedback – we're always looking for ways we can improve our guests' stays with us.
We aim to give our guests the best experience possible and we're sorry you weren't fully satisfied with your stay. As you have highlighted, Scottish Canals is in the process of upgrading the water supply. The water in the area is from a private supply and we do have filters in place to purify the water supply to the cottage. However, whilst we are undertaking this work we are requesting our guests take precautions. We do have systems in place to advise guests of the issue prior to arrival and we apologise that our system appears to have failed on this occasion. We have reviewed the procedure and this should not occur again.
Sandray Cottage is located in a sheltered and secluded spot. There are fields in the surrounding area and sheep can sometimes be found within them. As the cottage is located in a rural area, sound travels further than in urban areas and the lack of other noises can make the sounds from the animals more noticeable. I'm sorry this disturbed your sleep.
Unfortunately, insects and bats are relatively common in the area and are quite unavoidable. Bats are also a protected species and actually help to reduce the number of insects in any given area.
The property is 3km from the main A82 and access is gained via the towpath. The towpath is regularly maintained but, while they are regularly repaired, unfortunately potholes do reappear from time to time. In the interest of safety, we always recommend driving at a slow speed on all of our towpaths as walkers, runners and anglers also use the canal.
The Scottish Outdoor Access Code allows people to move around on publicly-held - and even some private land - and, as such, there is very little we can do to stop camping in the area.
You should be able to open the windows in the upstairs bedrooms but now that you have raised this as an issue, we will investigate and if needed, remedy the situation. As for our beds, they are standard size single beds and a standard size double bed. I'm sorry you found these to be unsuitable.
Many of our guests find it refreshing to be out of mobile phone reception and Wi-Fi range as they feel it helps them to relax. However, we are looking into the demand for, and feasibility of, adding Wi-Fi access to our properties.
We hope that this experience does not deter you from trying some of our other Canalside Cottages, perhaps in more urban areas.

We stayed at Sandray Cottage for one week and we enjoyed every single Minute. It's placed next to the Kytra Lock and it's very interesting to watch the lock keepers at their work. The house was clean, nice and looked inside exactly as on the photographs. It takes about 10 minutes drive from Fort Augustus and it is a very quiet place. You need to buy your goods in Inverness or Fort William, because there is no big Supermarket in Fort Augustus or in the other Villages around it.

Q&A: How to deal with concerns about statins
I look at the patients' risk markers and see how we can improve things without starting a statin regimen. For example, controlling a patient's inflammation can be done by reducing fat around the waist area, examining the effects of food allergies, checking for sleep apnea, putting them on a produce-heavy diet and so on. These measures are the most powerful medicine, because they involve us looking at both the causes and symptoms.
Q: Besides talking with their doctor, what should patients do?
A: I encourage them to take certain actions to replenish the nutrients that statins deplete. Monitor their thyroid function and take Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinol), vitamin D, Omega 3 fish oil, vitamin E, selenium and carnitine.
Also look for ways to manage your cholesterol naturally: eat more fiber (legumes, beans, steel-cut oats). In combination with a better diet, talk with your physician about using natural supplements that lower cholesterol.
And we cannot forget exercise. It's extremely important not just for lowering cholesterol, but also for your mental and emotional well-being. It's not a new message, but it has to be repeated.

Holiday Make-Up Tips: One Woman's Suggestions on How to Look Great at Parties When You've Spent the Past 365 Days at Home Watching Romantic Comedies

Leaving grapes to freeze on the vine seems like a recipe for stone cold failure. But under the right conditions, the grapes that come in from the (extreme) cold can produce delicious dessert wines that are a cool favorite for holiday pairings.
What to call it? It depends on where you are. It's called eiswein in Austria and Germany, where it began; icewine, one word, in Canada, where it's become something of a signature wine; and ice wine, two words, in the United States, where vintners in New York state and few other regions are experimenting with the hard-to-make, easy-to-drink product.
Whatever you call it, interest in the wine is heating up as producers experiment with new grapes and new winemaking styles – how about some sparkling ice wine with those gingerbread men?
"The icewine category in Canada is continuing to evolve with new and innovative products entering the market each vintage," said Franco Timpano, director of marketing for Inniskillin, a leading producer of ice wine, selling roughly 5,000 9-liter cases annually in Canada and about the same amount in the United States. "We're seeing icewines made from varieties that we haven't typically seen."
Typically, ice wines are made from riesling and cabernet franc, as well as Vidal, a winter-hardy French-American white hybrid grape developed by Jean Louis Vidal in the 1930s. But lately, Timpano's been seeing ice wines made from merlot, sauvignon blanc and cabernet sauvignon. Inniskillin has made a sparkling Vidal icewine and this year came out with a sparkling cabernet franc icewine available mostly in Canada and at duty-free stores.
Making ice wine is not for the faint of heart, points out Steve DiFrancesco, winemaker at Glenora Wine Cellars and Knapp Winery and Vineyards in New York's Finger Lakes wine-growing region.
First, the grapes are left on the vine for months after regular harvest is over. The leaves are gone and vines are dormant, providing little protection, and though the grapes are bundled in netting to ward off the advances of nature winged and clawed, they are still vulnerable. The benefit to all this grape hardship is that the sugars and other dissolved solids don't freeze, but the water in the grape does, which means when the frozen grapes are pressed they produce a more concentrated, sweeter juice.
DiFrancesco likes to pick at around a chilly 13 degrees Fahrenheit. He's also made wines with grapes frozen post-harvest. Wines made that way can't be labeled as "ice wine" in the U.S. or Canada; though they may have the word "iced" on the label. DiFrancesco labels his as frozen post-harvest to make things clear. Wines from artificially frozen grapes are a technically sound product, while naturally frozen wines have more richness and depth, but possibly more funkiness, too, he said, which he doesn't see as a bad thing. "It's like people, if they're too perfect, they're not interesting."
In terms of holiday dessert pairings, texture's important, said Patrick Cappiello, partner and beverage director of Pearl & Ash, a Bowery hot spot in New York. Something firm is required to balance the syrupy nature of the wines. Gingerbread is "kind of a no-brainer," and another choice might be crisp oatmeal raisin cookies.
"The thing that's cool about ice wine is there's a textural difference that you don't see with other wines, and you see the care – the fact that there's so many steps, there's so much effort that goes into making it," said Cappiello.

"Humanists at the Fair" - Atheists Talk #131, Sunday Sept 4, 2011
What is humanism? What are its core principles? On what topics do humanists agree and disagree, and how do they live these principles? Sunday's show doesn't promise to have all the answers, but the conversation should be illuminating. Listen to Scott Lohman, president of the Humanists of Minnesota, and friends discuss the topic during one of Minnesota's greatest gatherings of humanity--the Minnesota State Fair. The panel at the live show at the AM950 KTNF booth are Scott Lohman, Audrey Kingstrom and Mark Thoson.
