Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
I absolutely loved this product, L'Oreal's EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo (and Conditioner). It was the best my hair had ever felt! I bought the product at a Walmart, where I usually purchase the biggest, cheapest bottles of Suave Professionals or the Herbal Essences line. It came in smaller bottles than I like and was much more expensive compared to my usual products, but the results were fabulous. These are hair products that are sulfate free and moisturized my hair wonderfully. My only complaints are that the price seems high for the amount of product you receive and that the store was all sold out when I went to buy more. I only wash my hair once or twice a week, so I could justify to myself spending the extra money. If you wash your hair more than that, this product could get pretty expensive, especially as a daily wash. I would certainly recommend this product as a treat for your hair, though, used sparingly as to save as much product as possible!
Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
This shampoo is wonderful. I am very partial to sulfate free shampoos and this one delivers great results. It has a thick but not too thick consistency, and does very well as far as cleaning your hair and it is very easy to rise out. The ingredient list is very long and includes many herb and plant extracts. The only reason why I don't use this shampoo exclusively is because I like to switch up with the many shampoos I have. But this one is definitely in, and will remain in the rotation.
The effectiveness is very good. I use this shampoo with it's accompanying Ever Strong Hydrate Conditioner and I achieve great results from doing that. Although I'm confident that if I wanted to use a different brand of conditioner after this shampoo the results from using this shampoo first would still still be good results.
I love the scent of this shampoo. It is lightly floral but with an undertone of smelling herbal. The scent is very prominent but not over powering in a cloying way.
Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
I received a trio of samples of the new L'Oreal EverStrong line of products. The trio included: Hydrate Shampoo, Hydrate Conditioner and an Overnight Repair Treatment. Although the products worked great on my hair, I would never buy them!
In addition to a horrible scent, **L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo** contains parabens, which I stay away from completely. Since this product did clean my hair nicely, I can't give it one star, so I will give it 2 because of the horrible, nasty scent and the parabens.
[1]: http://www.viewpoints.com/LOreal-EverStrong-Hydrate-Conditioner-review-f31f5
On a positive note, this shampoo did clean my hair well. It lathers like no other shampoo I've ever used. I felt like I had a helmet of foam and bubbles on my head. I didn't mind though, it was semi-entertaining. When I got out of the shower, my hair stank like the horrible scents in the shampoo and conditioner, but it was clean, conditioned and healthy looking.
L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo has one of the worst scents that I have ever smelled in a hair care product. They call the scent Rosemary Juniper, but I call it, headache. It is extremely strong and overwhelming. The scent isn't as manly as the [Hydrate Conditioner][1] , which as a Rosemary Mint scent, but the shampoo's scent is worse. I'll take manly over bad any day.
Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
I trust the Loreal brand, and after seeing the commercials I thought I would try out the Sulfate-Free Shampoo. I have fine hair, which tends to be on the greasy side as well. I am not one of those people that can get away with not washing their hair every day.
From the first moment I used it I didn't like it. It didn't give me a rich lather, which is something I like. It made me feel like my hair wasn't getting clean. The smell was powerful and not that great. It was very herby, almost pungent. But I could have gotten over those things if it had made my hair look good.
It didn't.
It left my hair feeling greasy quicker and kind of limp. By the end of the day it looked like I needed to wash my hair again, something I have never encountered from even the cheapest of shampoos.
All in all, I ended up throwing away the rest of it because it just wasn't working for me! Maybe on someone with really dry hair or hair that isn't prone to grease? But not for me!

Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
I just tried a sample I received of Loreal Ever Strong shampoo and conditioner and I am completely sold. First, my hair is thick, naturally curly, and kind of damaged because I use heat on it every day and haven't gotten a haircut in half a year. I normally blow day my hair and use a straightening iron, but when I'm done my hair feels tangled and dry. (I currently use either Garnier or Pantene)
My take on Loreal Ever Strong: At first I thought the Rosemary Juniper and Rosemary Mint scents were a little strange. But when I used the shampoo, I immediately fell in love. They use the term "rich lather," but I would say that's an understatement. It was the best lather I've ever felt from a shampoo and I've tried MANY shampoos (I was a cosmetologist previously) Also, the shampoo rinsed very clean and even in the shower, before applying conditioner, my hair felt more moisturized. The conditioner was very thick, almost a cream. I normally have to overuse conditioner to get good coverage and some sense of moisture. But even with the small amount included in the sample pack, the conditioner covered all of my hair great and felt super silky. When I rinsed the conditioner I could tell my hair just felt stronger and healthier.
After drying my hair, using my straightening iron was great. My hair held its style better and I didn't have to keep going over the same strand to get it straight. When I finished styling my hair, I was shocked. It was completely smooth and silky. I normally have fly-aways that I have to hairspray down, but all of my short fly-away hairs actually laid down! I am able to run my fingers through my hair! No tangles at all! (For someone with unmanageable frizzy curly hair, this was a first) My hair feels healthier, like I just got it cut. Also, the minty smell subsides after it dries and it just smells clean now, a very faint scent.
I already looked into the prices and while it's a little higher than what I normally buy, I'm convinced that this product does it's job. Since I can use smaller amounts, also, the monetary difference shouldn't be material. I suggest anyone with unmanageable, dry, brittle, or generally unexciting hair should give this a try!

Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
I got this shampoo after I got some coupons from the sunday newspaper and found a sale with some extrabucks! Got a great deal moneywize, so I thought I'd jump on it. I am conscious of the danger of the chemicals found in our shampoos, conditioners, lotions, bodywashes, makeup, nail polishes...etc., so I try to find products that are safer for me and my family.I noticed afterwards a couplr of the ingredients begin with "sulf", so I wonder how free it truly is! While I have not totally cleared out my life from chemicals, I have switched most of my cleaning products and nail polishes to a more chemical free variety. I do not have any complaints on what this shampoo does to my hair, I just have to wonder about the companies tactics to getting people to try their products. While it does not claim to be chemical free, it can be misleading. Thanks for the bargain, but I an not sure of how true the label is.

Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
Like others here I received a few coupons for this product and was able to find it on sale. So with the coupons I figured it would be a great time to try it. Overall it is a pretty good product. I like the fact that it is sulfate free. I have think color treated hair. So the fact that there is a realitively cheap sulfate free shampoo is great. It does a good job cleaning my hair. I typically need to wash my hair every day and with this shampoo I find that I can actually shampoo every other day. It also leaves my hair feeling soft and smooth. Which I love.
The smell takes some getting use to. It does not smell like most shampoos. But I have come to like the smell. Although the tube seems kind of small, it has lasted longer thatn I would have thought.
Overall, this is a good sulfate free shampoo for the price. However, it is not my favorite shampoo. I think there are better sulfate free shampoos out there, but they do cost more than this. So depending on the price one may want to spend there are better products.
Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
I have colored my hair for years, alternating between many shades of red. I find that the color often fades too fast, so I went about experimenting with different types of shampoos.
I had used an all natural shampoo for a few years, semi-happy with it, and I was excited when L'Oreal came out with a sulfate free line. I wasn't sure I wanted to try it at first, because I wasn't too happy with the smell of it in the store. However I decided to give it a try.
The first thing I noticed was how good it smelled when I was in the shower! It must have something to do with the hot steam, because it smelled wonderful while I was washing my hair. I got great lather with the shampoo, which is unusual for a sulfate free line, and it rinsed out well. My only complaint was that the shampoo was hard to get out of the bottle. The conditioner is great, and it left my hair feeling very soft.
What I liked the best about this line is the fact that my hair does not frizz up as it dries like it did with other shampoos, and it didn't make my haircolor fade. I have reccomended it to many people.
Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
I'm sure we have all seen the commercials featuring the lovely Evangeline Lilly for Everstrong shampoo and conditioner. Everstrong is a system of shampoo, conditoner, deep conditioner, and balm that is sulfate free and promises to make your hair stronger after just one use. It delivers. I've tried both the Everstrong Reconstruct and Everstrong Hydrate. Both make my hair much smoother and I have less frizz. Having no sulfates means that there are no harsh chemicals that can further damage my hair and the products are 100% vegan. My only complaint- personally I like conditioners that make your hair feel smooth in the shower but everstrong doesn't do this. My hair is long and I have to use far more on my hair than I would like- resulting in having to buy another bottle before my shampoo is even out. Everstrong does make my hair feel much smoother and stronger so I'd say it's definitley worth the price.
Comments about L'Oreal EverStrong Hydrate Shampoo:
This is BY FAR my FAVORITE shampoo and COnditioner and Leave-In Conditioner of all time.
I, Like most people who tried this product, Got a few coupons. THANK GOD because I wouldn't have bought it and that would have been a shame! When I tried the EverStrong, which included all three products, I was SHOCKED at the LASTING results! My hair is thin, long and color treated so it isn't in the besst of health. I am used to using conditioner and STILL having knots after a shower.
After using this combination, I had super smooth soft great smelling hair. It isn't too perfumey and you don't need alot which is even better! I then applied the Overnight cream and fell in love. I am truely addicted to this product and I WISH it wasn't so costly, which is a con but not so much so that I would knock off any stars. I would reccomend it to anyone looking for a great combination for hair.
Truley a great product for anyone looking to change the feeling of their hair.

Yes. There are solutions to that problem. Besides just mean you have to excel with your tongue
I am impotent, but well endowed. I can have normal sex but can never have a child.
Impotent means you can't get hard. Infertile means you can't have a kid.
Have an opinion?
sure! (:
Depends on what he was willing to do about it. If it just makes him bitter and angry... no. If he's creative about a solution to that problem, then sure.
I think it depends on the type of impotence, as sexual dysfunction is fairly complicated.
Well being as I can't conceive I would be a hypocrite if I said no.
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

I loved these books as a young mom. I was just out of a corporate move fast get it done environment and suddenly was home with an infant and the pace seem slow so I occupied my time with these books and activities. I also wrote a how-to craft book. I don't know if I would get these books now if I had a kid. But there was a lot I learned that has carried over for my other two babies. Although I wasn't as OCD with them as I was with my first. Namely we had right brain and left brain toy days. I had all the toys separated into these two categories. I know crazy. But I will say she is brilliant but if you asked her to find anything of hers she wouldn't have a clue.
This is the other book I really really enjoyed when she was a little tike (she is 12 now). It's a bit hippy dippy for me but you may or may not like that. I loved the nature and crafts ideas.
I think my kids were 5 and 3 or younger when I decided to home school and after attending a Carol Joy Seid seminar I got and read this book. It's a keeper such great info and if you are aware of Edith and Francis Schaeffer , this is their daughter.
Speaking of the Schaeffer's this is one of my favorites! She can made mundane exciting.
I just loved this book I think I might read it again after the move. It's great about relationships and people first thinking.
Their is a set of 5 or 6 books that Charlotte Mason wrote, I find them a bit of a hard read and only made it through 2 of them. So this book I liked because it's an over view of her big set.
This is another one I loved reading, during quite time while the kids were napping, by the fire. Wonderful domestic memories (not in the book but of reading it).
This one I didn't come by, that because it lives in my hiking/art backpack. When were we take a hike, go for a picnic, camp or out in nature I bring this backpack I have an art journal for each kid in it, art supplies and nature books. This book is awesome !
I also came across, Dallas Willard, Kevin Leeman, Zig Ziglar, and series of other similar. But by far the ones picture above just holding the books again brought smiles to my face.
It's fun how when you can't make stuff (because the craft room is packed) you suddenly have a ton of idea of what to make. Hope to move quick so I can make them and post about them here.

Out Of Office
The girl behind the lens is on the run again :) And I can proudly say that today, marks the start of a new era in JSP! I can't say how, but do know that things are changing in great ways!!
Anyhow, I can't stay to write long, but I wanted to let you all know that I'm travelling overseas at the moment doing various shoots, so I'm not back in the office until 5th November.
If you need to contact me at any point, you can call the following numbers while I am on the road:
+60126267706 (Malaysian clients)
+61401238167 (Australian clients)
I will try to reply emails as soon as I can, but if you wanted to catch me urgently, just buzz my numbers above. I don't bite! :)
Many thanks!
Much love,
ps: So sorry that there has been a lag (okay, its a HUGELY LOOOOOOOONG lag) in blogging - its not that I don't have like a MILLION photos to share with you all, but the past month I've been organzing a lot of things for this 'new era in JSP' which starts today (!!) so I've been really tied up with that. One of the changes that have been planned for this new episode in JSP is more blogging! Yay! So stay tuned and check back often cos a lot of things are coming people, when I get back to the office!! :D

This was a total impromptu shoot. Impromptu shoots are so cool - no pressure, no expectations, and usually lots of fun :) I just happened to have my camera with me when our good friends Andrew and Naomi came to visit us in KL, and I have to say it was so good to see them again! We had met Andrew and Naomi when Andrew came to work for our church in Sydney for a year, and they have since gone to minister at NDCCC. When they came to KL, they brought along their new addition to their family - Rebecca. She is a really sweet little girl, with a beautiful sunny personality (except when its her nap time - I hear that is when she gets very noisy and quite the grumpy munchkin! :p) - amazingly quick on her toes. It was a TOTAL challenge to keep up with her! But very much worth it - little tods, as always, are completely and utterly photogenic (I'm so envious!!), plus I got some exercise that day as well. My legs are thanking me for it :p
You can click [HERE] for a fuller slideshow of images taken of Rebecca that day. And have a look below for some of my favourite shots + some happy snaps. Oh, I learned that day, that Rebecca has this adorable habit of saying please (or in her intonation: "peesh" hehe!!) not only when she wants something, but also when she gives you something too! How hilariously CUTE! haha.
(Click the photo panel above to see its full size)
Andrew and Naomi organized a trip to the Petronas Twin Towers Sky Bridge. Can you believe in my 2.5 years in Malaysia, this was my first time up!! Totally NOT scary :) We got 6 minutes to linger across the glass-panelled walkway, before we were called time. Anyway, above is the happy little family themselves :)

More postcards from Sydney
I love cafes. The atmosphere lingers comfortably within the homebody side of my personality... And no, I'm not talking about the commercialized never ending retail chains such as starbucks... I'm talking about those quaint little shops on the side of the street, those cafes that have neatly laid out chairs and round tables outside, those cafes that still showcase their daily menus on chalkboards...those are the ones with character :)
Sorry to all the KL-ians out there (I had to make up this name - I know it makes me look like a total dork, but.... oh well :p) but I have to say that the Sydney cafe lifestyle is just amazing. And the food (if you pick the right ones) are nothing less as well :) Of course, Malaysia kicks some serious butt in the asian food department. We Sydney-siders bow down to the awesomeness of KL's local culinary offerings.
But that aside, check out some of the cafe's I've been to and what they serve!! Unlike a lot of menus we see today, these portions are as big as they look :D And please, no drooling... ;)
Don't worry, this is by NO MEANS turning into a food blog. And NO, i do not always photograph what I eat... I do enjoy the food and the company more :) Anyhow, I have a TONNE of portrait + wedding photos to share with you, but I figured while you are waiting in the meantime (sorry, my schedule has just been nutters as of late - but I am trying my very best to keep my blogging up), instead of having no entries, you can at least fill up with this instead! :)
And just because I feel like it, here are some other shots from my sydney travels + a secret: all shots taken in this entry were taken with a humble canon ixus point and shoot! I just wanted to show you all its NOT always about the camera/lens we use to get a shot... so, dont feel you need to be a gearhead to get some shots you are happy with. Great lighting+composition will never be replaced by any $30,000 camera (not that having it is a bad thing)! :)
This is part of the interiors of the Queen Victoria Building (on George St). Its really stunning, if you stop to look. Sydneysiders probably see this everyday, but I guess living across two countries gives one a fresh set of eyes to see what you don't live with day in day out. yay! :)
You will never see sunsets like this in KL. The colours lasted about 2 minutes before they changed (you get like 15 minutes of glorious light, 2 minutes of glorious colour before everything turns into a mere wisp of what it was). Oh, and trust me, these colours are for real. I did not alter them - only contrast + curves were added. Nature is fantastic!! :D
ps: I will reply emails soon. Sorry for the delay - the next week or so is incredibly busy. There is alot happening, but I promise to write back as soon as I get a moment to sit down. It wont be too long! :) Oh, and happy wednesday to all of you out there. Middle of the week vibes are in!! Not long before we get greeted with another weekend to live out. Take care everyone! :)

Spontaneous Portraits
One couple I met up with in Sydney, were cool enough to do just that! And here is what I captured for them:
It's best if you click the image above to see the panel in full :)
I hope they don't mind me putting their photos up - you both were just too cute and I couldn't help but share! Plus, its to show I'm not a scary photographer :) I can't wait to do their pre-wedding shoot in a couple of weeks, and their wedding later this year!
A HUGE thank you for treating me to the yummy thai food that night, even though I couldnt finish the colossal portions, I thought it was such a sweet gesture and totally unexpected! :D
ps: No flash was employed for the above shots, or any shots taken in my previous post. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Enjoy my postcards from Sydney and the accompanying captions!!
I adore japanese food. If anyone ever wants to get on my good side, or treat me a meal - japanese will do it. Seriously :) I went to Yutaka on one of my first nights with Vincy (see the photo below to put a face to the name! ) who happens to be a good friend of mine, and a photography enthusiast! Pity, we both agreed that the food AND portions at Yutaka left us wanting....
Vincy! :) See, hang out with me for an afternoon, or even for an hour, and its likely you'll get a free portrait! haha :D
Their Miso soup was good though! I thought it was fantastic to have it on that day as the evening ended up FREEZING cold!
Yutaka's dumplings were also yummy! But portions were disappointing - they were so good we wished they had given us more!! haha :)
I shot this the same time as the previous photo. This is my attempt at a handheld capture of the harbour bridge at night. It wasn't easy!

text: I was watching an episode of Kim Possible that featured Henchco when I realized that it works well in the fictional world in general. Think about it, in other shows we see villains who aren't geniuses with various gadgets and weapons that fit their themes with no explanation on how they got those toys. The idea of a company that makes the weapons for villains, under the cover of "exotic defenses" for the rich and famous, makes perfect sense. Plus the incompetence of poser villains would give the company job security as they will keep coming back. I'm surprised more shows and works of fiction don't have such a group.

"I operate now both within the U.S. government, because I, you know, I'm part of this amazing team with Ambassador [Susan] Rice, who's the national security advisor; Secretary [of State John] Kerry; Secretary [of Defense Chuck] Hagel; [CIA director] John Brennan -- an amazingly capable foreign policy team and I'm totally honored and learn every day from each of my colleagues," Power told the girls on Tuesday.
Powers' comments came a day before the release of an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll conducted between June 11 and 15 that showed Americans' approval of Obama's handling of foreign policy had dropped to 37 percent, an all-time low for the survey.
Power told the girls attending the conference that they she tries to build relationships with diplomats to promote the U.S. human rights and national security agenda.
Those efforts don't always succeed, she added, because some people don't "agree with the truths I am speaking" or because they "have a different perception of how their country's interest would be advanced."
Following Power's speech, the young attendees were given a choice of several workshops to attend, including "The U.N. and You" and "Feminism is Not a Dirty Word."
According to its website, Girl Up "is an innovative campaign of the United Nations Foundation.
"We give American girls the opportunity to become global leaders and channel their energy and compassion to raise awareness and funds for United Nations programs that help some of the world's hardest-to-reach adolescent girls," the website says.
The website also promotes population control and birth control for teenagers, issues routinely promoted by the U.N.
Power is considered a key figure in persuading President Barack Obama to take military action in Libya in 2011. She worked for then-Senator Obama as a foreign policy advisor before being named to his presidential administration.

The company plans to offer the supercar with two powertrains - a V8 or as an EV.
Keating Supercars doesn't have much name recognition, but the firm is celebrating 10 years of building performance vehicles. The company has a new model on the way next year called the Berus, and the coupe is allegedly capable of reaching over 230 miles per hour (370 kilometers per hour).
Keating plans to offer the Berus in two forms. Traditional supercar buyers can get it with a V8 that can allegedly rocket the supercar to 60 miles per hour in 2.4 seconds and to that huge top speed. Customers with greener preferences can order electric propulsion with between 201 and 402 horsepower (150 – 300 kilowatts) and a gargantuan 1,054 pound-feet (1,429 Newton-meters) of torque.
The production Berus arrives at next April's Monaco Top Marques show. Keating already has renderings and a half-scale model of the design. The low-slung shape doesn't break any new ground in the supercar segment, though. The vehicle's moniker derives from vipera berus – the scientific name for the common European viper.
Keating Supercars arrived on the scene with the track-only TKR. It used a biturbo LS7 V8 with a claimed 1,800 hp (1,342 kW). In 2009, the vehicle managed 260.1 mph (419 kph) at Salt Lake Flats in California. A road-legal version called the SKR was also available with a 656-hp supercharged LS7.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of ocular imaging, and, more particularly, to devices for imaging the ocular fundus.
2. Description of Related Art
The term ocular fundus refers to the inside back surface of the eye containing the retina, blood vessels, nerve fibers, and other structures. The appearance of the fundus is affected by a wide variety of pathologies, both ocular and systemic, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, and many others. For these reasons, most routine physical examinations and virtually all ophthalmic examinations include careful examination of the ocular fundus.
Routine examination of the ocular fundus (hereinafter referred to as fundus) is performed using an ophthalmoscope, which is a small, hand-held device that shines light through the patient's pupil to illuminate the fundus. The light reflected from the patient's fundus enters the examiner's eye, properly focused, so that the examiner can see the fundus structures.
If a hard copy of the fundus view is desired, a device called a fundus camera can be used. However, to use existing fundus cameras successfully is a very difficult undertaking. The operator must (1) position the fundus camera at the correct distance from the eye, (2) position it precisely in the vertical and horizontal directions in such a way that the light properly enters the pupil of the patient's eye, (3) refine the horizontal and vertical adjustments so that the light reflected from the front surface of the eye, the cornea, does not enter the camera, (4) position a visual target for the patient to look at so that the desired region of the fundus will be imaged, and (5) focus the fundus image. All these operations must be performed on an eye that is often moving. Therefore, the use of existing fundus cameras requires a significant amount of training and skill; even the most skilled operators often collect a large number of images of a single eye in order to select one that is of good quality.
In existing fundus cameras, alignment and focusing are performed under visual control by the operator. This usually requires that the patient's eye be brightly illuminated. Such illumination would normally cause the pupils to constrict to a size too small to obtain good images. Therefore, most existing fundus cameras require that the patient's pupil be dilated by drugs.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,715,703 describes an invention made by one of the present inventors and discloses apparatus for analyzing the ocular fundus. The disclosure in this patent is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention is in the nature of a fundus camera which automatically and quickly performs all the aligning and focusing functions. As a result, any unskilled person can learn to obtain high quality images after only a few minutes of training and the entire imaging procedure requires far less time than existing fundus cameras. Moreover, all of the automatic aligning and focusing procedures are performed using barely visible infrared illumination. With such illumination, the patient's pupils do not constrict and for all but patients with unusually small natural pupils, no artificial dilation is required. The fundus images can be obtained under infrared illumination and are acceptable for many purposes so that the patient need not be subjected to the extremely bright flashes required for existing fundus cameras. To obtain standard color images using the present invention, it is sometimes necessary to illuminate the eye with flashes of visible light. However, such images can be obtained in a time appreciably shorter than the reaction time of the pupil, so that the pupil constriction that results from the visible flash does not interfere with image collection. Unlike existing fundus cameras, the present invention provides for automatic selection of arbitrary wavelengths of the illuminating light. This facility has two significant advantages. First, it is possible to select illuminating wavelengths that enhance the visibility of certain fundus features. For example, certain near-infrared wavelengths render the early stages of macular degeneration more visible than under white illumination. Second, by careful selection of two or more wavelengths in the near infrared, it is possible to obtain a set of images which, when properly processed, generate a full color fundus image that reveals sub-retinal fundus features. Thus, it is possible to obtain acceptable color fundus images without subjecting the patient to bright flashes.
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide a fundus imager which automatically positions fundus illuminating radiation to enter the pupil while preventing reflection from the cornea from obscuring the fundus image, irrespective of movement of the eye or the patient's head within the head restraint.
Another object of the present invention is to provide automatic focusing of the fundus image based upon the image itself.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide automatic positioning of one or a sequence of fixation targets to select the sections(s) of the fundus to be imaged.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a fundus imager for collecting a set of images that can be arranged in a montage to provide a very wide angle fluids image facilitated by the capability of the fundus imager to automatically align and focus the images.
A further object of the present invention is to provide automatic setting of video levels in a fundus imager to use the full range of levels available.
Yet another object of the present invention is to permit aligning and focusing a fundus imager under infrared illumination to permit imaging without drug induced dilation of the pupil.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide for automatic selection of illumination wavelength.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a colored image from a fundus imager by sequential imaging and registration of images.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide for automatic acquisition by a fundus imager of a stereo image pair having a known stereo base.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a head positioning frame for use with a fundus imager.
A yet further object of the present invention is to accommodate for astigmatism and/or extreme near and far sightedness by placing a lens of the patient's glasses in the path of illumination of the fundus imager.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatically positioning the illuminating radiation of a fundus imager to prevent corneal reflections from obscuring the fundus image obtained.
A yet further object of the present invention is to provide a method for automatic focusing in a fundus imager.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art as the description thereof proceeds.
The present invention will be described with greater specificity and clarity with reference to the following drawings, in which:
Referring to
Light diffusely reflected from fundus 14 emerges from pupil P and half of it is transmitted through beam splitter BS2 toward collimating lens L4, which lens is at its focal distance from the pupil. If the patient's eye is focused at infinity, the light reflected from each point on fundus 14 will be collimated as it is incident on lens L4. Therefore, the 50% of the light that passes through beam splitter BS2 will form an aerial image of the fluids in the focal plane of lens L4, which focal plane is represented by a dashed line identified as FI (Fundus Image). The light passes through lens L6, which lens is at its focal distance from fundus image FI. Thus, lens L6 will collimate light from each point on the fundus. Further, because the light considered as originating in the plane of pupil P is collimated by lens L4, lens L6 will form an image of the pupil in its back focal plane, which is coincident with the location of second aperture A2. Light passing through second aperture A2 is incident on lens L7, which lens will then form an image of the fundus in its back focal plane which is coincident with an image sensor or video sensor C1. The video image produced by video sensor C1 represents an image of the fluids.
An infrared light emitting diode (LED), representatively shown and identified by reference numeral 21, diffusely illuminates the region of the front of the eye.
If the eye is not focused at infinity, the aerial fundus image FI will be moved away from the back focal plane of lens L4. For example, if the eye is nearsighted, the aerial fundus image will move toward lens L4. Such movement would cause the fundus image to be defocused on video sensor C1. Focusing the image under these conditions is accomplished as follows. Lens L6, aperture A2, lens L7, and video sensor C1 are mechanically connected to one another by a focusing assembly labeled FA; that is, these elements are fixedly positioned relative to one another and move as a unit upon movement of the focusing assembly. A unit identified by reference numeral 23 provides rectilinear movement of the focusing assembly on demand.
The entire optical system (10) discussed above and illustrated in
To operate optical system 10, a computer control system 30 is required, which is representatively illustrated in
In operation, an operator enters patient information data into the computer control system using the keyboard and also enters the location or set of locations on the fluids that is/are to be imaged. It may be noted that the field of view of the optical system is preferably 30� in diameter while the ocular fundus is about 200� in diameter. To image various regions of the 200� fundus, the eye can be rotated with respect to the optical system; such rotation is achieved by having the patient look from one reference point to another. After entry of the raw data, the patient's head is juxtaposed with a head positioning apparatus to locate the eye in approximate alignment with respect to the optical axis. An image of the front of the eye produced by a video sensor or camera CAM, (
To achieve proper alignment of the optical system with the eye requires that the light from light source S enter the pupil. Initially, the angular position of beam splitter BS1 is set so that the image of aperture A1 lies on the optical axis of the system. It is noted that the image of aperture A1 contains the light used to illuminate the ftndus. If the operator has initially centered the pupil image even crudely, light from light source S will enter the pupil. About two percent (2%) of the light incident on the eye will be reflected from the corneal surface and if this light reaches video sensor C1, it would seriously obscure the image of the fundus. Therefore, the optical system includes the following elements for preventing corneal reflection from reaching video sensor C1.
If the light rays forming the image of aperture A1 were aligned so that the central ray were perpendicular to the corneal surface, then many of the rays in the corneal reflection would pass backward along the incident light paths. As shown in
However, the corneal surface is steeply curved and if the central ray of the incident light is moved far enough away from the perpendicular to the cornea, as shown in
Initially, the angle of beam splitter BS1 (
If a fundus image were to be collected under these conditions, the reflection from the cornea would severely spoil the fundus image. To prevent this, after alignment is achieved, the angular position of beam splitter BS1 is changed by motor 24 and linkage 26 to move the image of A1 to the bottom of the pupil. If the pupil is about 4mm or larger in diameter, this will deflect the corneal reflection sufficiently that it will not enter lens L4. To do this, the diameter of the pupil must be known. This diameter is determined by performing the method described below for automatic alignment in the vertical and horizontal directions.
If the pupil is relatively small, a further technique is employed to allow greater displacement of the illumination away from the center of the pupil. This is accomplished by automatically changing the aiming point of the vertical alignment servo so that the image of the pupil moves downward with respect to the optical axis by an amount that is a fixed proportion of the pupil diameter. Thus, the regions of the pupil through which the images are collected moves toward the top of the pupil and the image of A1 has more room to move downward. This description refers to movement of the image of A1 to the bottom of the pupil. The same effect can be achieved by moving the bar to the top of the pupil and moving the servo aiming point so that the pupil image moves upward. In general, if the patient is looking downward, moving the image of A1 downward is more effective and if the patient is looking upward, it is more effective to move the image of A1 to the top of the pupil.
A method for tracking the pupil and positioning the image of aperture A1 on the pupil of the eye will be described hereafter with reference to
About half of the light reflected from fundus 14 is reflected from beam splitter BS2 through lens L3, and about 10% of that light passes through beam splitter BS1. Some of that light passes through a lens L8 and falls on a small camera CAM1 on which an image of the pupil is formed. Others of those rays pass through another lens L9 (shown in dashed lines) and to camera CAM2 (shown in dashed lines) and forms another image of the pupil. These lenses and cameras are placed one above and the other below the plane of the paper in
The output of one of these cameras is used to position optical system 10 in the x and y axis, as described in further detail below. To position the optics at the correct distance from the eye (the z direction), the images from cameras CAM1 and CAM2 are compared in software. When the pupil is at the correct distance from the optics, that is, when the pupil is in the focal plane of lens L3 (and therefore, because of the mechanical arrangement, in the focal plane of lens L4), then the two pupil images will lie in a particular relationship to each other. If the optical system were perfectly aligned and centered, the two images would each be perfectly centered in the fields of view of their respective cameras CAM1 and CAM2. Then, considering the fields of view of the two cameras as superimposed, if the pupil image from the left camera is to the left of the image from the right camera, then the optics need to be moved closer to the patient and vice versa.
If the optical system is not perfectly aligned, there will be a particular relative positioning between the two images that occurs when the pupil is in the correct position, and the software drives optical system 10 in the z direction until that relative position is attained. (That relative position is determined during the procedure for optically aligning the entire system.)
A method for finding the center and the edges of the pupil image will now be described. It involves finding the edges of the pupil image on each video line that intersects the edges and then computing the most likely position of the center and of the edges of the actual pupil. The image from camera CAM1 is read out, as is the standard video practice, by reading the values of the various points along a horizontal line and then the values along the next horizontal line, etc. (neglecting the detail of interlacing). If a given video horizontal line intercepts the image of the pupil, the video level will abruptly rise from the dark background level to the brighter level of the pupil. To locate this transition and find the position of each edge, it is necessary to define the values of the background and of the pupil. To do this, a histogram of pixel values is formed during the first few video frames. It will contain a large peak with values near zero, representing dark background pixels, and additional peaks at higher values that represent the pupil and various reflections to be discussed below. A typical histogram is illustrated in
The "background level" is defined as the level just below the first minimum. Specifically, the histogram is first smoothed using a running block filter. That is, for a position on the horizontal axis the vertical value on the curve is replaced by the average of the vertical value and its adjoining values. This computation is performed in steps along the horizontal axis (video level) until there are ten consecutive values for which the vertical axis increases. The "background value" is then defined as the lowest of these ten values. An "edge point" on each horizontal line is defined as the horizontal location for which the video level changes from equal to or below the "background value" to above that value or changes from above that value to equal or below that value. As the video scan proceeds, the location of each point is saved. Thus, at the end of each video frame, a set of point locations is stored in the computer memory (see
If the pupil image consists solely of a bright disk on a dark background, the above described procedure would essentially always be successful in finding a close approximation to the actual pupil edges. However, for real pupil images the procedure is confounded by two sources of reflections. First, light reflected from the cornea; if this light reaches cameras CAM1 and CAM2, it will form a bright spot superimposed on the pupil image. If that spot were entirely within the margins of the pupil, it would not interfere with the process described above. However, if it falls on the edge of the pupil image, as it may when a patient is looking at an angle to the optical axis of the optical system, then it will appear as a bulge on the edge of the pupil, as illustrated in
One such special procedure will described below. The edge points are collected as described above. There will typically be several hundred such points. An ellipse is then found (determined) that best fits the set of edge points. The pupil of the human eye is usually circular, but if it is viewed from an angle, as it will be if the patient is looking at a point other than on the optical axis, then the image of the pupil will approximate an ellipse. So long as the reflections from the cornea and iris do not overlap a major part of the pupil edge (and so long as the pupil is not of grossly abnormal shape), such a procedure yields a good estimate of the locations of the actual pupil center and the edge.
One method for finding the best fitting ellipse will be described. Assuming that two hundred points have been labeled edge points by the above procedure, each of such points has a horizontal (x) and a vertical (y) location. Assume that these two hundred points, that is pairs of values (x,y), are in a consecutive list. Five points are selected at random from the list, requiring only that each selected point be separated from the next selected point by at least ten positions on the list. This process will then yield the locations of five putative edge points that are some distances apart on the pupil. These five pairs of values are substituted into the equation for an ellipse and solved for the five ellipse parameters. One form of equation for an ellipse is:
Substitute the five putative edge points as the pairs (x,y) of values in that equation. Invert the matrix to find the values for c1 through c5. Then the angle that the ellipse makes with the xy axis is:
θ=�*arc cot((c1−c3)/c2)
Then if u=x*cos θ+y*sin θ and v=−x*sin θ+y*cos θ, then d1*u^2+d3*v^2+d4*u+d5*v=1
Where d1=c1*cos^2+c2*cos θ*sin θ+c3*sin^2 θ
d3=c1*sin ^2θ−c2*cos θ*sin θ+c3*cos ^2 θ
d4=c4*cos θ+c5*sin θ
d5=−c4*sin θ+c5*cos θ
The center of the ellipse has u coordinate u=−d4/(s*d1) and v coordinate V=−d5/(2*d3) so the center of the ellipse has the x coordinate
x=u*cos θ−v*sin θ
and the y coordinate
y=u*sin θ+v*cos θ
If R=1+d4^2/2d1+d5^2/2d3 then the semiaxes of the ellipse have lengths
Square root (R/d1) and square root (R/d3)
This entire procedure is repeated, say, 100 times for 100 different sets of putative points yielding 100 different estimates of the x,y location of the center. The best fitting ellipse is the one for which the center is closest to the median x and y values of the set of 100.
The resulting deviations between the horizontal and the vertical locations of the center of the chosen ellipse and the optical axis of the optical system can be used directly as error signals to drive the positioning servos associated with assembly 20 (
An automatic method for focusing the ftndus image will be described with reference to
To explain more clearly the direction of displacement of the focusing assembly (FA) to achieve correct focus, joint reference will be made to
Thereby, automatic focusing is achieved by finding the displacement of one image of a pair of images that is required to bring the two images into registry and then moving the focusing assembly in accordance with such result. The required displacement can be found by computing a cross-correlation function between the two images. This is a mathematical computation that, in effect, lays one image on top of the other, measures how well the two images correspond, then shifts one image horizontally a little with respect to the other, measures the correspondence again, shifts the one image a little more and measures the correspondence again and repeats these steps for a large number of relative positions of two images. Finally, the shift that produces the best correspondence is computed.
Even when a patient is trying to hold his/her eye steady, the eye is always moving and as a result the fundus image is continually shifting across the sensing surface of video sensor C1. Exposure durations for individual images are chosen to be short enough (about 15 milliseconds) so that this motion does not cause significant blur. Nevertheless, the time interval between members of pairs of images taken during the automatic focusing procedure may be long enough to allow movement between the images that would confound the focusing algorithm. Therefore, the actual procedure requires that a number of pairs of images be collected and, only when two members of a pair agree will they be used as the measure of focus error.
The focusing method described above requires that a number of image pairs must be collected in order to find a set that is relatively unspoiled by eye movements. It would be preferable to obtain the two images (one through the left and the other through the right side of the pupil) simultaneously, so that eye movements would not affect the result. A method for simultaneous image collection is described below.
If subassembly 74 is moved farther upward by linear actuator 72, the image of the patient's pupil will fall on double mirrors 78,80. In a preferred embodiment, the double mirrors are formed by a right angle prism 82 with the two faces (78, 80) that form a right angle being silvered. When the mirrors are in place, light from the fundus that exits through the left side of the pupil is deflected through a lens L8 and onto a video sensor or camera, CAM3, and light from the right side of the pupil is deflected through another lens L9 and to another video sensor or camera, CAM4. When the fundus image is in proper focus, light from the fundus will be collimated when it arrives at each of lenses L8, L9 and, because cameras CAM3 and CAM4 lie in the focal planes of those lenses, an image of the fundus will be formed on each camera, one of the images being formed with light passing through the left side of the pupil and the other is formed with light passing through the right side of the pupil. The two cameras are synchronized so that the two images are captured simultaneously.
If the fundus is in correct focus, and if the two lenses (L8, L9) and two cameras (CAM3, CAM4) are perfectly positioned on the optical axes, then the two images will occupy identical positions on the two cameras. If the image is out of focus, the two images will move in opposite directions with respect to their respective cameras. Thus, computing a cross-correlation function on the two images provides the information necessary to move the focus assembly FA to achieve correct focus, (by the same principle as explained with reference to
If the prisms were removed and the fundus were in good focus, the images through the top and bottom holes would be precisely superimposed, but if the image is out of focus, one image would move up and the other down, in proportion to the degree of defocus. If that displacement could be measured, it would serve as the error signal to perform automatic focusing of the fundus image. However, because the two images would strongly overlap, there is no simple way to distinguish one image from the other. The prisms serve the function of moving the two images so that they do not overlap, as follows.
Upper wedge prism 96 deflects all of the rays 100 passing through it upwards, 15 degrees in the preferred embodiment. Therefore, the fundus image formed through the top of the pupil will move upwards on the camera. This will cause the top half of the image to fall above the sensor surface and be lost. However, the bottom half of the image will fall on the top half of the sensor and can be captured since the field of view is 30 degrees.
Right angle prism 98 acting as a dove prism, performs two different functions. First, because hypotenuse side 102 of the prism is not horizontal but is tilted downward, the image (ray 104) passing through it will be deflected downward by 15 degrees. If this were its only action, it would cause the upper half of the fundus image to fall on the lower half of the sensor. Therefore the two images, being different parts of the fundus, could not be compared. However, its dove prism action causes the image passing through it to be rotated through 180 degrees (as depicted by ray 104), so that the bottom half of the fundus image falls on the bottom half of the sensor. That allows relative positions of the two images (and thus the focus error) to be computed. In this way, the focus error can be determined from (half) images collected simultaneously.
Of course, if the two lower holes (A7, A8) were side by side instead of one above the other, and the prisms were rotated accordingly, the two half images would be positioned one on the left and the other on the right half of the sensor, and the computation for focus error could again be accomplished.
Selection of the fluids region to be imaged will now be described. Adjacent beam splitter BS1 illustrated in
In addition to the LED's in the plane labeled FIX, other visible LED's, such as LED 28 shown in
When the operator sets up the instrument prior to collecting images, he/she selects the region or set of regions of the fundus to be imaged. If just one region is to be imaged, the appropriate LED will be lighted. If a series of locations is to be imaged, the computer (see
After the image of aperture A1 has been located to exclude the corneal reflection and focusing has been achieved, another pair of images is collected with aperture A2 in each of two positions. This pair of images constitutes a stereo pair of images with a known stereo base, which base is the distance through which aperture A2 has moved.
During the alignment and focusing procedures previously described, filter F (see
During the interval between images collected in different wavelengths, it is possible that the eye, and thus the fundus image, will move significantly. If such movement occurs, then the variously colored images would not be in registry when displayed. To prevent this occurrence the images are automatically registered before being displayed by performing a two-dimensional cross-correlation and then shifting the images in accordance with the result.
Essentially all standard ophthalmic instruments position a patient's head using a combination of a chin rest and a forehead rest. Other devices, such as a combination of chin rest and support for the bridge of the nose would be suitable. Typically, only a bridge of the nose rest is used in the present device. These types of devices are representatively shown in

Rich Warren: It's time to donate your plasma (screens)
Farewell, plasma.
Recently Samsung and LG, two of the world's largest TV manufacturers, announced they would no longer manufacturer plasma TVs.
In the days of fuzzy liquid crystal displays (LCDs) videophiles insisted on plasma TV displays. Plasma offered better resolution, far higher contrast and blacker blacks back when LCDs reproduced black as pale gray. We've come a long way over the past 15 years. Plasma improved incrementally while LCD improved monumentally. LCD appeals because it enables ultra-thin, lightweight, low-power consumption TVs. Illuminating the picture using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provided the final leap to bring LCD sets to near parity with plasma.
Pioneer designed and marketed the ultimate plasma displays, but faced financial difficulties, especially with low sales of plasma sets, and left the market. It transferred much of its technology to Panasonic. That lasted only a few years until Panasonic, also faced with dismal plasma sales, ceased production. With the Koreans exiting, perhaps a few small Chinese factories will continue with what has become a high-quality but obsolete technology.
Meanwhile, LG recently unrolled a roll-up organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display. This is far from ready for prime time and initially will be very expensive. It probably won't be popular for home TVs. There is no crying need for a "Murphy bed" TV that you can roll up when you finish viewing. However, it may be the future of this newspaper and other publications, a pocketable screen that automatically downloads and displays the daily newspaper and magazines, or for those desiring video on the go.
Amazon introduced a quasi-3-D mobile phone, about the same time that most experts agreed that 3-D TV utterly failed. The Fire Phone, according to Amazon, allows you to: "Tilt, auto-scroll, swivel, and peek to navigate menus and access shortcuts with one hand. Dive into a new class of immersive apps and games — peek to see detailed views of clothing, shoes, and more in the new Amazon Shopping app for Fire phone, or take on a character's viewpoint to see around corners and obstacles in games."
ABCs of e-readers. On a related topic, Internet pundit David Goldman on CNN.com considers e-readers, such as the Kindle and Nook, dead. He opined people would read on tablets such as the iPad, Kindle Fire and others. While tablets provide a serviceable reading experience, e-readers deliver the best reading experience. Their sharp, easily configured text, perfectly lit without the bright background of a tablet, is easy on the eyes. They also run for a month at a time on a single charge, meaning an average of 30-40 or more hours of reading. Try that with your tablet. Most e-readers are smaller and lighter than the majority of tablets, permitting a more comfortable reading position. I found one drawback to e-readers compared to paperback books. Recently, facing assault by mosquitoes while reading, my Kindle proved wholly inadequate for the task of swatting mosquitoes.
Sony and Barnes & Noble must agree with the naysaying pundit. Sony shuttered its e-book division and turned it over to Kobo, which services independent book stores with e-readers. Barnes & Noble announced it would spin off its Nook e-reader into a separate division from its physical book stores. One of the great advantages of the Nook was its tie-in with a real bookstore.
Click it. A pundit at PC Magazine insists that the dedicated, standalone camera as we know it is history. Samsung attempts to prove his point. In Korea, it offers a special edition of its top-of-the-line cellphone capable of mating directly with a 35mm interchangeable lens.
I'm not a professional, or even a good amateur photographer, but I have shot many a decent photo with a 35mm SLR, both film and digital. A good camera embodies a certain shape and weight distribution that fosters good photography. While a cellphone is just fine for the casual point-and-shoot photographer, or an accomplished amateur on a lark, anything beyond that demands a dedicated camera.

Vredestein exhibits new Wintrac xtreme tire at ITECComments Email
ORLANDO, Fla. (Aug. 25, 2014) — Apollo Vredestein B.V. exhibited its new Wintrac xtreme high-performance winter tire at the International Tire Exhibition & Conference (ITEC) in Orlando Aug. 20-22.
The first tire to be developed in collaboration with Giugiaro Design, the Wintrac xtreme features a W-shaped tread with firm, aggressive lines and an innovative sipe technology, according to Vredestein. Optimum Silica Processing (OSP) technology was used for the tread compound, enhancing winter performance and wet traction and minimizing the chance for aquaplaning, the company said.
The Wintrac xtreme is available in H, V and W speed ratings, making it a true high-performance winter tire with good course
stability and steering precision as well as low noise levels, Vredestein said. It also has run-flat capabilities and can operate under pressure loss at speeds of up to 50 mph, according to the tire maker.
The Wintrac xtreme is available in more than 40 different sizes in diameters ranging from 15 to 20 inches, according to Vredestein. The tire became available in the U.S. in June 2014, said Emil Herbek, president of the North American market for Apollo Vredestein.
