Page 20 November 2012 Electronics perfect for trips, gifts By Kaley Kalil Mobile technology happily distracts us while traveling as we try to ignore the kid kicking the back of our seat or the woman snoring next to us. Today’s fl ashy devices keep us informed, entertained and busy. These high-tech gadgets not only ease the toil and trouble of holiday travel, but they make for great Christmas presents too: Belkin Rockstar Multi Headphone Splitter ($13) Holiday travel is much more interesting and fanciful with a soundtrack to back it up. This holiday season, stay connected to your loved ones and let nobody feel left out of the holiday magic. This awesome, little splitter allows up to fi ve people to listen to a device at the same time. So, you and your family can rock out to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” together in the car, on the plane or wherever your holiday travel takes you this year. It works with DVD players as well, so the kids can enjoy their favorite Christmas cartoons while Dad tunes in to the big game. Olloclip 3-in-1 iPhone Camera Lens ($70) If you’re over the idea of lugging around your digital camera and plan on using only your smartphone to capture family memories this Christmas, why not enhance what you’ve got? Just slide this little lens over your iPhone’s camera and capture what you see in a whole new way. Equipped with three lens options – fi sheye, wide-angle and macro – the Olloclip works for shooting photos, videos and even Facetime. It comes in white, red or black and is designed to work with iPhone 4 or 4S. Although it does not work with the newer iPhone 5, the company is working on a model that will. Learn more at www.olloclip.com. For those of you with Android smartphones and Blackberries, I haven’t yet found a similar 3-in-1 lens. However, www.photojojo.com sells individual lenses and you can buy a fi sheye, telephoto and wide/macro lens set for $49. These lenses also work with iPhones, including the new iPhone 5. XTG SOL1500 Premium Solar Charger ($25) Charge USB-powered devices while on the go with this nifty solar-powered charging station. Roughly the size of an iPhone, it features a built-in twistable LED fl ashlight and comes with two window suction cups.

Teachers We L ve “Mrs. Rathburn has been my teacher of the hearing impaired since kindergarten--I am now in 6th grade. She has not only helped explain my needs to all of my other teachers, she also helps me when I don’t understand a lesson. Her caring and compassion have come through in multiple ways. She has contributed to my school success in so many ways.” Cathy Rathburn Ingleside Middle School Nominated by: Shannon Gough Here’s what Shannon has to say about Mrs. Rathburn... Congratulations to Mrs. Rathburn, who will receive a gift certi ĺ cate to Salon Sandoval for some much deserved pampering!
