For some reason things seem to come in sets so it's no surprise that here I am blogging about felted products again. I was just browsing Etsy for excellence when I spotted these gorgeous felt purses by Heartfelt Cottage. I love the colors and the flower accents. Would love to design an outfit around any one of these. adorable, k

Passionate About Lampwork, Gail Crossman Moore
I wanted to show you this amazing work by lampwork artist Gail Crossman Moore. Not only is she a brilliant lampworker but she also makes felted pieces and artfully and originally combines the two mediums. These pieces are just breathtaking. I always love lampworking the most when it is combined with something else. The glass just seems to cry for something to show it off. And the felt adds that perfect blend of soft against hard. so lovely and creative, k

Passionate About Lampwork, Dustin Tabor
I've posted about Dustin Tabor's work before but this concept is new! Now he is providing these amazing earring kits where you get all the beads and the findings and you put them together. Great idea. Check these and a variety of other color choices. They are just fabulous. I know how much work goes into something like this. what a great idea. k

Passionate About Lampwork
Browsing Ebay today for lampwork excellence I came across the glorious beads by Michous. You still have three and a half days to bid on these beauties. The colors and Van Gogh like designs are fabulous. I'm always looking for the "new" fresh take on lampworking and these are my favorites of the moment. almost edible, k

Kate Spade Rules
I love everything about Kate Spade, and while browsing for wedding gifts I came across these gorgeous pieces. I'm still not sure what I'm going to choose for the two weddings in my life this summer but these candle and vases are definitely on the list. Any ideas for the perfect wedding gift??? Something hip and contemporary. I'm also thinking the Kate Spade tidbit plates or maybe the white Jonathan Adler bird salt and pepper shakers. Any ideas would be appreciated. k

Freedom Tee
I promised you a pic of our English project so here it is modeled by "waterboy" himself. If it looks like it is swimming on him it is. We had to use a xxl tee in order to fit all of the quotes and passages on freedom. My son did all of the design in photoshop. Then you have to reverse all of the images and type, then print onto tee shirt transfer paper which you can buy at office depot, and then cut out and iron on the tee. I will admit to doing most of the ironing. Well let's face it, most 15 yr old boys do not have great ironing skills. The good news is the teacher loved it and he had fun "wearing" his project into class.
Having computer issues. My new macbook is in the shop and so will be posting on old computer this week. Noticed that on this screen I can only see two columns. Third column has defaulted way down at the bottom.
What can you see? Are you seeing 3 columns or only two. Would love to know if I am dealing with a big problem or just here on my somewhat old screen. Thanks in advance. k

Look What's Blooming from my Computer!
Well I'm finally done with high school finals YAY! and now I'm back into wedding mode for my friend C. The wedding is a mere 3 weeks away so we are in full swing with all of sorts of design details. I designed these Tulip programs/fans which will hang on the back of over 300 chairs for ceremony. These are my two favorite designs out of about 6 different concepts that I created. The fans will all be hand cut into the tulip shapes. And what you don't see yet is the gorgeous hand made pressed flower paper with yellow/gold marigolds and tiny green stems which will line the back of the tulips. So which design is your favorite??? We will be deciding in the next few days and then go to work. Will show you the finished product when we finish. k
Oh and no one guessed the English project. It would have been a tough guess but then you guys never cease to amaze me. Will post pics soon. k

Ice Bucket Drama
It's party week at K's house and I'm having a few dramas as in ice buckets. R and I pretty much went to every possible place to buy one here in Ashland or Medford and trust me none of the ones we saw looked anything like ANY of the ones you see above. So until I can take my time and order one of the above, like the first one from Gumps I just going to borrow one for the black jacl party friday night. who knew they would be so hard to find! k
Also I somehow lost my links for above ice buckets other than I know the first set come from Gumps. And since I'm doing a lampwork for demo for 22 ladies tonight I don't have time to find them all again. So hope none of you are needing an ice bucket anytime soon. k

|The French activate at the first attempt in the first few cards turned.
The Landsknechts come to order and the Gendarmerie mount their steeds in readiness to confront the spiteful Swiss.
At the entrenchments things are not going well for the French. All along the line the Swiss begin to break in.
|Schinner is lucky to escape with his life - he rolls ones on each command card but lives to tell the tale.
The Gascons are collapsing without much of a fight.
|The die rolls here are very unequal - the French pike will roll two very low rolls in a row and they will be severely punished for it. They will not be worth a 'stubborn morale chip' payment to save at 5 UI lost and vexed.
The Landsknechts are the first to move forward in response to the call to arms.
Fighting at the entrenchments is buying time but, is it buying enough.
Resistance at the entrenchments is almost over and the Swiss pike are still in fine fettle.
The second French line of defence is now clearly taking shape.
|Note the Gendarmes under Francis I (mid distance,on the right) making
their way to a position on the right flank of the Swiss pike squares.
|The Swiss captain (centre figure on the round base) rolls 'one' on his first
attempt to rally the routers, followed by a second 'one' on his survival die. The
command is now rolling a D6 for motivation - that will slow the Swiss up.
|The positions at the end of turn two. The Swiss still have 35 morale points left. The French have 41.
I'm really enjoying this. It is a much closer run thing than the last time it was played.
The killing field is, at the moment, full of living men scrambling grimly towards each other. Things are about to get very bloody.
At this rate, I'm going to get another solo game in over the holidays! I wonder what period / battle I should do? Any suggestions?

Sorry folks, it appears Kris Jenner is not managing the careers of Kanye West or Travis Scott.
As you know, Kris does manage her daughter's careers, but Kylie is setting the record straight about those other careers.
Recently, Page Six published an article saying that Kanye West, who is married to Kim Kardashian, and Travis Scott, who is Kylie's boyfriend, were now under Kris's wing.
However, Kylie Jenner was quick to shut these rumors down on Twitter, by simply saying "this isn't true."
So there you have it.
Besides, we're pretty sure managing the Kardashian sisters keeps the momager busy enough.

this isn't true ????????♀ https://t.co/aPJZM2Uiak

These four articles all deal with recent examples of Civil Disobedience. In a way they have all been successful because they brought enough attention to their cause to make the news, but some are more likely to create real change than others.
Read through the articles. Think about what you know now about Civil Disobedience. Evaluate which of these cases is the most likely to result in real changes.
Write an entry in your English Journal to explain which case of Civil Disobedience is the most likely to result in change and why you think that.

Important****Release Weights Back on the shelves
Through Ryan's contacts in the Tackle trade and Wally's release weight push and Gary Lilley's mould they've got a new supplier and the release weights now (finally) back in production!
So after a few weeks if you are in a tackle shop and you cant see any release weights on the shelves, can you please ask the question.
"When will you be getting any in" if they say, what the!......you just need to say, ring Jason from Sunset Sinkers and he will supply you with some, just to make sure you got that Jason from Sunset Sinkers
Ps Oceanside will stock them
* Yes, no excuses now, stockem, recommend em and use them *
Only one size so far but others on the drawing board fromm what I have read on other forums.
Well done Ryan, Wally, Gary, Jason and all concerned.

why small
Wed, 2011-05-25 18:17
i have seen small release weights and i have no idea why, fish do not go back on these smaller weights, the bigger the better as the fish needs to go down to survive, the small ones are a waste of time,

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), along with other groups and standards bodies like IETF and OASIS, has established technologies for creating and interpreting Web-based content. These technologies (Web Standards), are carefully designed to deliver the greatest benefits to the greatest number of Web users while ensuring the long-term viability of any document published on the Web. The appearance of the Mobile Web– with its variety of user agents– and the complexity of nowadays Web portals has awaken in the industry the awareness about the benefits of Web Standards compliance.
To support people with special needs Web Accessibility policies are in place in many EU countries, USA, Canada and Australia, with different requirements for the public and private sectors. Web Accessibility means that:
"... people with disabilities can use the Web. More specifically, Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with the Web, and that they can contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits others, including older people with changing abilities due to aging."
Although the benefits of accessible Web design go even further in terms of usability improvements for wide sectors of the population (for instance, people accessing the Internet in handicapping situations, like driving a car), not only for people with special needs, some industry members still regard e-Accessibility as a burden they must comply with or an "a posteriori" thing where external expertise and a slow manual process is required. This view exists because of the great limitations of existing accessibility evaluation tools, normally limited to test single Web resources, or portions of them, making them not acceptable for a production environment.
In the HearCom project we are creating a proof-of-concept where a leading-edge quality assurance and standards compliance tool like imergo® [Fraunhofer FIT tool] will be naturally integrated into the workflow process of an state-of-the-art Open Source Content Management System like the HearCom portal based on Apache Lenya.

Click Resident Services to learn more about the many ways GRHC social work professionals assist our residents and their families.
Families that participate in GRHC affordable housing programs generally pay 30 percent of their income toward rent; so an increase in earned income typically results in a rent increase.
When a client enrolls in the GRHC's Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) Program, we establish an escrow account for the family in which we deposit the amount of the rent increase each month. Escrow can accrue for up to five years, and clients who successfully complete the FSS Program receive these funds. Many families use their FSS funds toward the purchase of a home.Click FSS Program to learn more about this important financial tool.
The Section 8 Homeownership Program makes it possible for eligible GRHC Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program participants to use their rental subsidy toward home mortgage payments.The GRHC will offer Section 8 Homeownership Program orientation meetings at Wyoming Public Library, 3350 Michael Avenue SW in Wyoming, on the following dates/times:

I am fortunate to have the opportunity for the second year in a row to be presenting two formal sessions at the ISTE Conference as well as be involved in one ISTE Unplugged session. Unfortunately, I have to miss Edubloggercon as well as the first day of the conference but I will be arriving Monday afternoon and will be able to take in at least two full days of the conference on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you are attending I hope to see you there. So, here is my speaking schedule:
Tuesday, June 28th, 5:00-5:30 (Eastern)
Title: Phantom Power: The Art of Education Reform
Description: For many educators, the fundamental notion of teaching as an art, and with it the sense of joyful creativity that first brought them into the profession, has been nearly extinguished. The relentless, linear logic of teaching as a science dominates, as evidenced by our current culture of high-stakes testing, data, standards, research. Thinking like an artist---as Emily Dickinson says, 'telling it slant"---- is a possible pathway to reclaim teaching as a creative act. Social media afford new ways of telling it slant, of inviting new "slants" and diverse points of view, making possible networked collaborations within and beyond classrooms. In the session, experience examples of technology-mediated participatory art across a range of media and forms and explore their usefulness as engines of creativity in teaching and learning. Further, the session proposes an "arts ethos," with teacher and students as artists and learning as artifact---part of a viable, balanced path to education reform.

Opening Prayer
Holy Spirit, open my mind to your word. Help me to understand what it says and to be sensitive to what it means for my life. Amen.
John 17:1-19
After saying all these things, Jesus looked up to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son so he can give glory back to you. For you have given him authority over everyone. He gives eternal life to each one you have given him. And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth. I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to do. Now, Father, bring me into the glory we shared before the world began.
"I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word. Now they know that everything I have is a gift from you, for I have passed on to them the message you gave me. They accepted it and know that I came from you, and they believe you sent me.
"My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you. All who are mine belong to you, and you have given them to me, so they bring me glory. Now I am departing from the world; they are staying in this world, but I am coming to you. Holy Father, you have given me your name; now protect them by the power of your name so that they will be united just as we are. During my time here, I protected them by the power of the name you gave me. I guarded them so that not one was lost, except the one headed for destruction, as the Scriptures foretold.
"Now I am coming to you. I told them many things while I was with them in this world so they would be filled with my joy. I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one. They do not belong to this world any more than I do. Make them holy by your truth; teach them your word, which is truth. Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world. And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth.

This Valentine's Day, New York New York has introduced a 4-course set meal for you and your love ones to indulge in.
Available at all New York New York restaurants in February 2012, you can celebrate Valentine's Day everyday throughout the month!
The set meal (S$29.90++) includes:
- Soup – Creamy pumpkin soup
- Main course – A choice between ribeye steak and chicken thighs
- Dessert – Parfait
- Coffee or tea
Commence your romantic meal with a luscious creamy pumpkin soup. Creamy smooth and not overly rich, it is nicely seasoned with savoury notes and hints of natural sweetness from the pumpkin.
For the main course, you can choose between a pan fried ribeye steak and chicken thighs, both served on a bed of sweet potato mash with lightly sautéed asparagus and a special concocted sauce.
The pan fried chicken thighs are highly recommended. The thighs are seared to an almost crisp on the outside, while remaining tender and succulent with juices sealed within. The accompanying sauce isn't mandatory as the chicken is already flavourful on its own, but it helps elevate the dish to a new level.
The sweet potato mash is a unique alternative to the conventional mashed version. Its subtle sweetness proves to be a cohesive continuance from the first course of pumpkin soup.
The date is further sweetened with a refreshing parfait, served in a toasting glass. This dessert, filled with freshly diced fruits layered in thin custard, is light on the palate. Toast to many more years of love together!
Finally, end the meal with an aromatic cup of coffee or tea.
This value-for-money Valentine's Day meal at New York New York is definitely worth a consideration. Reservations are recommended. Happy Valentine's Day!

Over at IO9
Looking forward on savouring this at bedtime. Roll on August! – have Fool's Assassin preordered in both hardback and as an ebook.
Oh Robin, you teaser! I don't know whether to thank you for a wonderfully tantilising piece of writing that immediately piqued my interest and bought memories of Fitz flooding back so effectively, or hunt down the publisher/IO9 who decided to release said extract, thus making the wait until August seem even longer.
I hope that you continue in with Fitz and the Fool
Love your work.
Can't wait to see what happens on the prince's quest for the dragon! You pull me into their world each time I pick up one of your books. Bless you and your talent.
I'm so exited for this trilogy I can hardly stay in my pants! Thank you for this sneak peek to contain myself better…
Only sad thing I can think of is that I have a hard time translating the characters' names from English to Finnish (the language I read the other books) in my head, but I'll get used to it, I'm sure!

Independence day celebrations around July 28th are expected to bring record numbers of Peruvian tourists to popular destinations within the country. In particular, many of Lima's estimated 9 million residents will use the holiday to get out of the cold and grey winter weather and travel to the provinces.
Destinations popular with Peruvians include the Junín region, Cajamarca, Lambayeque and Ayacucho, as well as the destinations popular with international tourists. Prices for transport and accommodation will skyrocket over the holiday, returning to normal at the beginning of August. Travelers are advised to book ahead so as to ensure accommodation over the holiday period.

Suspended Vikings receiver Jerome Simpson now has no team after he finishes his three-game suspension. The team announced today that they were cutting him after new July charges, one of them being marijuana possession, came to light.
Ben Goessling of ESPN found out that Simpson has a Nov. 3 court date for a July 7 citation in Bloomington, Minn.:
According to Goessling's report, Simpson wasn't arrested, but he did violate his Jan. 2 probation that required him to not have any future alcohol-related, drug-related, or traffic offenses.
Simpson was scheduled to return after Week 3 when his suspension, resulting from a DUI arrest last November, ended. It was his second suspension; in 2012, the wide receiver was banned for three games after having 2.5 pounds of weed shipped to his house in a controlled delivery.
But with new charges, Simpson could be handed another suspension by the league. Coach Mike Zimmer said he didn't know about Simpson's charges until he was informed by Vikings PR today, and so the team didn't value him as worth the hassle. The Vikings have enough on their plate right now, anyway.

- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted (although butter would probably also work!)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- Preheat your oven to 400F.
- In a medium bowl, combine everything but the coconut flour, and stir well with a fork until combined.
- Stir in the coconut flour, and stir well until the dough is combined and holds together.
- Gather the dough into a ball and push it into a 9" pie plate. Prick it all over with a fork.
- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until it starts to brown. (You may want to use a pie crust shield, both now and when you fill and bake the pie, so the edges don't get overly scorched.)
- Fill your pie with pumpkin pie filling and bake as appropriate. (It may take somewhat longer than the original recipe, closer to 40-45 minutes rather than the 30 minutes in the original recipe.)

RELATED: Back off, haters! Why I'm not ashamed to love candy corn
The site surveyed 40,000 of its members about their favorite Halloween candy. This graphic shows which treat captivated the salivary glands of each state.
The candy with the most number of votes across the country was Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, with Kit Kat and Butterfinger right behind.
RELATED: How to turn Halloween candy into decadent brownies
Surprisingly, the candy that finished No. 1 in five states was the always-divisive candy corn. Apparently there's no "candy corn shaming" going on in Texas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Wyoming and Oregon.
As far as the coasts are concerned, Life Savers are king in California, while Sweet Tarts take the title in New York.
RELATED: Cookies, bark and 5 other treats to make with your leftover Halloween candy
There were some surprising choices. Toblerone won out in Arizona, leading to suspicions that the entire state may possibly be a giant airport. West Virginia went with Oreos, which are, you know, cookies and not actual candy.
Many on social media were not always in agreement with their fellow citizens about their candy preferences.
Here are the state-by-state winners, per Influenster.

Immerse yourself in the joy, theory, and practice of teaching Restorative Yoga. Learn to guide yourself and others into the deepest layers of ease and relaxation. Restorative Yoga is a practice of receiving support and allowing stillness to take the mind and body into a place of peace and tranquility. The practitioner holds poses with the aid of bolsters, blankets, pillows, blocks, and straps so that muscles can unwind into greater openness: soothing the nervous system, calming the "fight or flight response," and quieting the mind.
with Andra Aitken
2019 Dates Coming Soon!
Rest is essential to a healthy mind, body, and life. In our day-to-day experiences we all-too-often overextend ourselves by taking on more than we should, and then worrying about the rest. Resting the mind and restoring the body becomes imperative for rejuvenating the spirit. It is one of the greatest blessings to guide our students into the various practices of restoration.

Helping Small Business Owners Manage Credit Wisely
ARLINGTON, Va., May 16, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
In an important contribution to National Small Business Week, Better Business Bur eau and Capital One Financial Corp. have partnered to create a unique set of free resources to help small businesses learn how to effectively use and manage their credit. Recognizing that not every credit cardholder is the same, BBB and Capital One are pleased to announce the addition of a new free online Guide with tips and useful advice to help meet the unique credit and money management needs of small businesses.

BBB's Managing Credit - Made Simpler provides easy-to-follow tips, checklists, and advice compiled to help small businesses better handle and successfully build their business's credit record."

"Armed with basic information about credit, including understanding of card agreements and knowing what's expected of business cardholders, small business owners can make better choices about how they're using their cards. Our goal is to empower small business owners to take control of their finances and benefit from card features that can really work for their business."
The new guide, Managing Credit -- Made Simpler: Small Businesses, is available at www.bbb.org/credit-management and includes practical advice and checklists to help small business owners choose the right type of card to meet their business needs. The guide outlines some of the most common features, benefits, and issues to consider before choosing a card, including:
BBB and Capital One created Managing Credit - Made Simpler to give customized credit management guidance to different types of credit users, based on their specific needs and perspectives. Small business owners will now have a variety of topics to choose from that will all cater to the needs of running a successful small business. Topics include strategies to pay off balances faster, choosing the right kind of card for your business, how to improve a business's credit score, strategies to leverage cash and credit, and fraud prevention guidelines.

Published by Colton, 1868
This superior reproduction of the classic map of "Louisiana" identifiable by its strapwork border, was originally published by G.W. and C.B. Colton & Co. of New York in 1868.
Colton, who published his first atlas in 1855, was an immediate commercial success, and his maps although once easy to obtain have become increasingly scarce and inevitably more expensive. With its combination of block and hand-coloring, this map is shown here 44 years after Louisiana was admitted into the Union and just 5 years before Louisiana joined the Confederacy.
Union troops controlled the Mississippi in 1862 and the state's economy was ruined by the Civil War. Antique maps of this quality are becoming ever more desirable to collectors, both beginning and advanced.

Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain is scheduled to get an update in December this year, while the developers had kept the expected changes under the wraps until now, they have shared a number of details through Nico Nico.
Since the details were in Japanese, we are relying on online translations to give you the features that are being added or tweaked with the December update.
Without going into too much detail, let us tell you that The Phantom Pain is about to get these new features in connection with the FOB:
- Free placements of Gun Cameras (Surveillance Cameras) & Land Mines – Featuring a special mode for placements of cameras and land mines, which seems to be included in addition to standard placements up to the player's choice. You can also check the placements for a set period of time.
- Debut of Player Character Raiden – Can use wormholes for warping, and appears to be using special weapons. It is unclear what conditions need to be met to use him.
- Security Team SKULLS Debut – SKULLS units have appeared on the FOB Platforms. Conditions for doing this are yet unclear.
- Other FOB-related updates include: "Challenge Tasks" are added with rewards for completing them, friend connectivity enhanced to allow friend supporters including infiltration.
In Metal Gear Online, Host Migration will also be introduced. With this, when the host leaves he will be replaced by the second best choice in the room. Last but not the least you will be able to search for rooms with filters like Walker Gears ON/OFF, Weather and Room Names.
Keep checking back with us for more on Metal Gear franchise and The Phantom Pain.

It's no secret my family is addicted to board games. After reading my newspaper column this week, a number of readers wrote to confess they feel similarly -- and to suggest some new games I hadn't heard of. Joshua wrote : "Have you tried Ingenious? It's an amazing spacial game, involves making opportunities for other players as much as
closing them."
"You might want to try Rummikub," wrote Rina. According to the review on Amazon.com, "The object is similar to rummy card games, combining your tiles in runs (consecutive numbers in the same color) or sets (groups of the same number). The game rolls along at a fast clip, with wild-card joker tiles adding a bit of luck to the strategy needed to win."
And Eric, a writer who reviews games, offered another kind suggestion: "You might consider trying TransAmerica or Ticket to Ride for your next game purchase as both titles have a spatial element that might appeal to you. Thurn and Taxis, due to be published by Rio Grande in May, is a
somewhat deeper game, but that might be a good next step as it works with 2-4 people and can be played quickly or more thoughtfully. (I attended a game convention in Ohio recently and learned to play on a German edition of the game.)"

contact lens practice pearls
Eyecare Applications for the iPhone
If the overall popularity of Apple's iPhone is any indication, I'm betting a fair number of you are "app happy." One of the best things about the iPhone is the abundance of low-priced applications available from the App Store. Even cooler is the fact that there are quite a few that are geared towards contact lenses and other aspects of eye care. In this article, I will review a few of my favorites.
Opticalc Contact Lens Calculator
This is a great app for contact lens practitioners. Enter the patient's spectacle prescription, and the application will vertex the lens for you and provide a recommended contact lens power either for a spherical lens or for a soft toric. It will also calculate the recommended soft toric lens power after you input the trial lens power and over-refraction.
I think that the price is a little high ($4.99) for having only these two functions, but it works well and the interface is good. I would like for it to also include conversion of base curve from diopters to millimeters and perhaps a base curve change/power change calculator for GP lenses.
Eye Handbook
This free app contains a tremendous amount of information—some useful, some not so useful.
It has a variety of small acuity charts, Ishihara color vision plates, lists of differential diagnoses, and even a Spanish opto dictionary.
From the contact lens perspective, the most useful tool is an atlas of eye disease photos so you can show your patient very ugly pictures of Acanthamoeba keratitis, GPC, and other contact lens complications.
Epocrates is a widely used service for medical professionals that provides up-to-date pharmacology information. Although the app is free, you can also subscribe for more advanced features (such as ICD-9 codes). The app will provide you with a wealth of information on medication uses, pharmacological mechanisms, dosing, contraindications and interactions, and even photographs of pills.
The user interface is good, but you have to dig a little to find what a particular drug is used for if you aren't familiar with it. A consumer-oriented app that provides a similar function is Drugs and Meds: Pharmacology, which is available for 99 cents.
Stat ICD-9
The free version of this app probably provides all of the functionality that you are likely to need. You can type in partial diagnosis terms (such as cornea, kerato-), and it will provide you with a list of disease names and codes. You can also look up lists organized by organ system rather than typing in a search.
The free version runs a little slow on the phone. You can also pay $29.99 for the upgrade.
iHandy Level
Want to measure how many degrees that toric lens is rotating? This free app uses the accelerometer to determine how many degrees the phone is tilted. You can align the slit lamp beam with the phone's screen and read off the rotation. Of course, if you have a protractor on your slit lamp this is overkill—but it's fun to show to patients.
Start Downloading
The evolution of technology is truly amazing. Just a few years ago you could only dream of having this much information at your fingertips. The potential for enhancing patient care with iPhone apps is unlimited. And, of course, you can also play Sudoku between patients. CLS
Dr. Jackson is an associate professor at Southern College of Optometry where he works in the Advanced Contact Lens Service, teaches courses in contact lenses, and performs clinical research.
