Jeff,
Congrats.
Not to take anything away from any of the other candidates, but you were the obvious choice. Even if you lose the recount, you are still opti-boarder of the year to me.

Cameron Diaz IMHO is one of the most beautiful women of all time.
When I first saw her in "The Mask" I thought my eye-balls were going to pop out like Jim Carey's!

Hey Varmint,
Nice try, but no cigar.
The closest thing I ever had to a 'muscle-car' was the bumper sticker on the back of my rusted out (when Japanese cars were still made for Japanese...
This idea is not as silly as it might seem at first glance. Perhaps not specifically just 'Red' frames, but how about 'Paisley' frames, or 'Neon' frames.
The other thing about finding a niche is...

Getting to my point, we have a pretty big magnet here in Moncton as well. It is called 'Magnetic...
This was my backyard 11 winters ago.
BTW, any of you sharp-eyed autofiles care to guess the make, model and year of the vehicle parked in the driveway?

Steve,
If the asphericity of a lens front surface is so slight that a device capable of measuring sag differences of .01 mm can't detect any change in curvature across the surface of the lens,...
When a SV Rx is prescribed without a specific OC height, the assumption is that the OC is to be placed on the datum line. If the OC on the -5.00 eye actually ended up 3 mm above or below the datum...

I am not disputing the ANSI standard, just trying to understand why 1.5 diopters of UNPLANNED vertical prism would be acceptable at the MRP, irrespective of any vertical...
I am going from memory here, but you can easily check this yourself.
My recollection is that the last time I did some thickness trouble shooting at the lab on Spectralite products, I discovered...

It looks like a great site, but as far as I can tell, it is only open to the US market.
