Associated Press
MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- One was an animal lover. Another loved the spotlight. Another was nicknamed "The Wall" because of the force he brought to the soccer field.
When a top-of-the-scale EF5 tornado ripped through Moore, Okla., it took with it 24 lives. Seven of them were children at Plaza Towers Elementary school; two were only babies.
These are the victims' stories.
Gina Stromski, 51
Stromski was the kind of person who was generous to people almost to a fault. She loved her late husband, her pets and Oklahoma City Thunder basketball.
"She was fiercely independent, but kind, loving and generous to a fault, giving when sometimes she didn't have it to give," her family wrote in her obituary.
She had a soft spot for her pets, which she treated like family members, and had her constant companion -- her dog, Wylie -- by her side in the storm.
"The void she leaves in our lives is unimaginable," her family wrote. "We can't wait for the day we see her again."
Richard Charles Brown II, 41
Brown died when the light truck he was driving collided with two tractor-trailer rigs that had stopped on the H.E. Bailey Turnpike amid the cleanup immediately following the storm.
Highway crews were clearing debris from the turnpike when Brown approached at "a high rate of speed," according to the Highway Patrol. After hitting the rigs, Brown's truck rolled and he was ejected.
The Oklahoma Medical Examiner's office considers Brown's death among the 24 from Monday's storm.
JaNae Hornsby, 9
One of seven children killed inside the Plaza Towers Elementary School, JaNae loved to draw and sing. She loved being the center of attention, her father said.
JaNae's house, just three blocks from the school, also was destroyed by the tornado. Her father wanted to go back to the property to see if he could find a few of JaNae's things to keep.
"JaNae was the life of the party. If JaNae was there you were having a good time. She liked to sing, be a big sister, be a big cousin. She liked to draw," he said, smiling, as he remembered his little girl.
As family gathered to make funeral arrangements and comfort one another, Hornsby looked behind him into the house.
"If she was here she would just have everybody laughing and she would be in the midst of everything. She loved the spotlight," he said.
Karrina Vargyas, 4
Karrina was not quite old enough to be at school like her two older siblings. So she was at home huddled in a bathtub with her mother, younger sister and grandmother.
The tornado threw the women and children in different directions. Her parents could not find Karrina that night. It was only later that they learned that searchers had found Karrina's body in the rubble of what had been a neighbor's house.
Her father, Phillip Vargyas, said Karrina "had a smile that would light up the room." And whenever he fells the pain of her loss, her father said he likes to think of Karrina giving him a little hug.
"She was something else," Phillip Vargyas told The Oklahoman newspaper. "She wanted to figure skate. That was her dream in life."
Sydnee Vargyas, 7 months
Just 7 months old, Sydnee had crawled for the first time on Sunday. But she never really got to enjoy her newfound freedom.
Sydnee was huddled in the bathtub of her south Oklahoma City home with her older sister, mother and grandmother as a tornado bore down on them. The strong winds pulled Sydnee out of her mother's grasp.
When the debris stopped swirling, Laurinda Vargyas said she found Sydnee on a driveway.
"She was just laying there helpless. All I could do was sit there and hold her. She was already gone," Laurinda Vargyas told The Oklahoman newspaper. "They say she didn't suffer. So I've got to find peace with that."
Terri Long, 49
Long, a mother of three, was driving home from her job as a registrar at the Federal Aviation Administration when she stopped at a 7-Eleven store about 2 miles from her home. That's where she died when the tornado hit.
"I have no idea why she stopped there; I'm still trying to figure that out," said her husband of 10 years, Ken Long, his voice cracking with sorrow. But he has a guess: "She was probably trying to get away" from the tornado.
For several hours after the tornado, Long didn't know of his wife's fate -- not until her brother called her cellphone, and a police officer answered by saying her purse had been found at the convenience store.

Brits turn to luxury car hire to look rich amongst peers
Written by Mark Bower
Posted on June 1, 2012
A growing number of Brits are hiring luxury vehicles to create the appearance of being wealthy, despite the UK entering a second recession.
Within the current economic climate, a number of people are cutting back on luxury goods and whilst many can't afford the riches of the world, they can certainly try and look the part.
According to new research, 35% of people admit to hiring a flash car to 'keep up with the Joneses'. A further 18% of people said they rented a luxury car to stand out from the crowd and 14% confessed that their reason for hiring a high-class car was to be taken more seriously.
Some of the most popular reasons for hiring a luxury car is when attending a wedding, going on a date, travelling to a job interview or meeting the in-laws.
However, luxury car hire doesn't necessarily have to come with a luxury price tag, and can actually be an affordable experience. Moneymaxim offers a comprehensive car hire service, which allows users to compare rental cars in addition to comparing car hire excess insurance.
If motorists were to damage or have an accident in a luxury rental car, the excess could bring them close to bankruptcy in some cases. It could be well worth taking out car hire excess insurance.
From sleek Audis to popular Porsches, there is a huge range of choice available to consumers when it comes to luxury vehicles to hire.
The rescission may have taken its toll on personal finance, but it appears that there is still room for luxury car hire.
Luxury car hire is not just confined to the UK though, as those looking to go overseas may also wish to hire a luxury car.

You DID it! You REALLY did ~ you made those colors PROUD!!!

I love both pieces you have put up here. Penny's watercolour is delicious and your needlework is lovely and wearable, wow!!
I think you are possibly correct, get the tone right and most colours could combine pleasingly and getting the balance of 'amount' right, i.e.maybe, just a hint of one colour and lashings of another.
Interesting thought

Thank you for stopping by my blog. As for colours that dont go together......I hanestly cant think of any rigtht now. At first glance this combo didnt look good to me, but after I made the card it looked pretty fine. So maybe its just that we have to push ourselves to think different, use more of some and less of some other colour for balance. Like you've done with both your samples. The blue takes centrestage in the first one whereas in the second one there is just a smidgen of it. Beautiful examples.

I LOVE her! And your flower piece is FAB! Personally these colors threw me for a loop! But I chose not to add any neutrals and use the mustard as my neutral. It really was fun though because it really WAS a challenge!!

Robert Paige was born on December 2nd, 1910 in Indianapolis, Indiana with the birth name John Arthur Paige. Originally after high school he went to West Point Military Academy but decided to leave the academy early and relocated to Los Angeles, California in pursuit of a career as an actor.
Paige began with finding work as an usher at the Fox West Coast Theatres and later found work as a radio announcer on the station, KMTR in Hollywood. By the early 1930's, Paige began working as a film actor appearing on a number of shorts such as, "You Can't Buy Everything" (1934) starring May Robson, Jean Parker, Lewis Stone, Mary Forbes, Walter Brennan, Bruce Bennett and William Bakewell, "Annapolis Farewell" (1935) sarring Guy Standing, Rosalind Keith, Tom Brown and Richard Cromwell, "Hearts in Bondage" (1936) starring James Dunn, Mae Clark, Warner Richmond, Smiley Burnette, Charlotte Henry, Irving Pichel, Ben Alexander, George 'Gabby' Hayes, Henry B.

Along with his talent as an actor, he was also a talented vocalist and was given the chance to shine in the film, "Hellzapoppin" (1941) starring Ole Oleson, Chic Johnson, Martha Raye, Mischa Auer and Shemp Howard, followed by other singing roles in, "Pardon My Sarong" (1942) starring Abbott and Costello, Virginia Bruce, William Demarest and Lionel Atwill, "What's Cookin'?"

By 1946 he decided to work as a freelance actor and in 1949 he not only starred in but also produced his first film, "The Green Promise" starring wth starring Marguerite Chapman, Walter Brennan, Natalie Wood, Irving Bacon and Milburn Stone. His final film roles were in 1961 on, "The Marriage-Go-Round" and "Bye Bye Birdie" (1963) starring Ann Margret, Dick Van Dyke, Maureen Stapleton, Janet Leigh, Paul Lynde, Ed Sullivan, Jesse Pearson and Bobby Rydell but for the most part the later half of his career was focused on television work where he appeared in such series as, "Out There", "The Unexpected", "Lux Video Theatre", "Crossroads", "The Gray Ghost", "Bride and Groom", The Barbara Stanwyck Show" and "The Millionaire".
Robert Paige later returned back to working as a radio announcer and even found work in public relations. After retiring from the industry, Paige worked as a deputy supervisor in Los Angeles, California.

He then married his second wife, Joanne Ludden in 1962 and they had one child together and remained married until he passed away at the age of seventy six, on December 21st, 1987 in San Clemente, California after suffering from an aortic aneurysm.

The backers of "the peace" candidate released white doves in the hall. The birds flew up, around and then straight into some very large fans. Very messy... very messy indeed. Daniel

Help Your Child Get
A Good Night's Sleep
If you're fighting with your child every evening when it comes to going to bed, it's time to revamp your approach. These tips will help make getting them to bed a much more pleasant task.
Think same time, same place
Variety may be the spice of life, but it's not the case when it comes to putting your kids to bed. "Put kids to bed at the same time every day. Whether it's summer or winter, your schedule is full or empty, having a set bedtime is essential," says Kathryn Lavallee, a mom with two boys. "There may be some resistance or crying at first, but after sticking to a regular bedtime for a few weeks, your child will automatically start feeling sleepy when bedtime rolls around," says Lavallee, who runs the blog Mommy Kat and Kids.
Stick to a pattern
To help your child get into the frame of mind that it's time to go to bed, establish a pattern, says Lavallee. "Following the same pattern every night at bedtime is another way to help mentally prepare your child for bed. Reading a book, brushing teeth, having a bath and kissing loved ones goodnight are often a part of a child's bedtime routine, and following the same steps in the same order each night will have your child ready for bed by the time the routine is complete."
Maintain a quiet, calm environment
Don't think that playing and getting them active will tucker out your kids and make them doze off. Dr. Rene of Parenting Playgroups says this will only rile them up, as will watching TV. Think of how you don't exercise right before bedtime — it often revs you up. This is what playing or watching television will do to your kids. Stick to calmer activities, such as reading.
Roll with what works
Sometimes you just have to figure out what's working and make that your family's routine (within reason!). "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em," says Lavallee. "If you have a child that consistently gets out of bed after lights out, it can sometimes be quicker, easier and a saviour to your sanity to just lie down and cuddle with your child until he or she falls asleep," she says. "After all, the day will come soon enough when your little one will turn their nose up at hugs, never mind bedtime cuddles!"

I may be jumping on my soap box here, but I am still enraged by this whole Blake Shelton business. I certainly respect the right to express your own opinions. However, when it becomes derogatory toward others, then I have a problem. Blake Shelton's comments are both hurtful and thoughtless not only to the legends of Country Music, but to their fans as well. I have never seen another genre of music that shuns its roots to the extent of this. Rock legends such as the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan are heralded as heroes and have the utmost respect of the new generation. The same holds true for Jazz, Blues and R & B music. Why, in turn, do the modern (so called) Country artists continue to arrogantly dismiss the works of their Predecessors ? Any artist in Country Music today that has even a shred of traditional music in their sound are influenced in some way by the "old farts". Do these people think they came up with that sound all on their own ? Do the honestly feel that they deserve credit for that ? As for people not buying the old Country Music, I beg to differ. Living in Michigan, I see our economy only kept alive by "old money". These are people that made their living when one could still be made and save for their golden years, not spending it all on video games and i-pods ! These people still love to hear good music and will go see concerts by the artists from their generation who are still touring. On that note, I have personally witnessed a Ray Price concert at a casino here sell out within an hour of the tickets going on sale. I have seen Merle Haggard perform several times in the last couple years and every show was sold out. In addition, there have been a lot of younger fans coming to these concerts. In my band, we play Honky Tonk Country Music and will pack a house with young and old people. This past weekend, we did a show and had a group of about 10 people, all in their 20's that came up and requested old Country songs. Why is this you may ask? Well I believe that it is partly due to the fact that most "Country" radio only plays the new stuff and plays it over and over again. You get tired of it real fast. The originality is gone and the music has been relegated to a passing fad. An artist today will not and does not maintain the staying power like the legends of yesterday. It's all about how much money can be made quickly based on an image and marketing. Then when that runs its course, they move on to another. The music itself is catchy and noisy. It has no meaning and depth like the old songs. You will never hear some young couple 30 years from now saying "Listen to this Blake Shelton tune, it was our song" But you will still hear the old songs that mean something to people, much like they do today. You continue to see younger people "discovering" the old Country Music on the web through Youtube and I-Tunes just to name a couple. People will find the music they want to listen to every time. Real Country is not going anywhere folks! I think Blake Shelton needs to be reminded of that before he decides to cover another "old fart" Conway Twitty song and get a number one with it. He surely did not get the hit because he is Blake Shelton. He got it because of the song!! It was good when Twitty recorded it and it's still good. Staying power from a song that has meaning. What a concept. See? You can learn from your elders. Better think twice before you bite the hand that feeds you.
We were honored to be a part of a big concert to benefit the Bikes For Tikes program through Toys For Tots.Held Saturday Dec. 8 at the Leelanau Sands casino show room. We all donated our time, talents and all merchandise sales went to the charity ! Thank you to all that helped with the concert. Looks like we will be around 53 total bikes with donations from Concert. Thank you to our sponsors American Waste, Jimmy Johns of Traverse City, Traverse Bay Marine, Big Lotts, and Graff and Hunt Attorneys at law. the total collected should be over our 300 goal !! Sunny Country Listeners we Love you !! Big thanks to all the talent: Brian Nolf Shelagh Brown Ruby John and of course all the Fugitives !!
Our group is dedicated to traditional country music.
While we do play some old rock and roll, (heck all our music is old !) you won't hear the so called country that is on the radio these days. While we do not hold anything against it, the truth is, it simply should not be categorized as country music.
Honky Tonk and classic country is our focus. Lot's of Merle, George (Jones that is), Conway, Buck, E.T. ( not the movie ) Ray Price and the list goes on an on. There are so many songs from the past that we have found and added to our shows. Many people remember them and it brings back some wonderful times for them. Some of our younger listeners are grooving to these tunes, maybe for the first time. But we find more of the younger generation wanting to hear this music instead of the radio same old rotations that clog the airwaves. Plus, hey.. you can dance to it right ??
We certainly are not standing on a soap box here (ok maybe a little).. but we just want you folks to know what Lonesome Fugitive is all about.
Thanks for listening !!

text: On August 16, 2000, about 2230 Alaska daylight time, a tundra tire equipped Cessna 185 airplane, N1205F, sustained substantial damage when it nosed over during takeoff from the Bar-A airstrip, about 30 miles east of Kaktovik, Alaska, at 69 degrees, 52.979 minutes north latitude, 142 degrees, 18.592 minutes west longitude. The solo commercial pilot was not injured. The flight was being conducted by North Quest Aviation of Fairbanks, Alaska, under 14 CFR Part 91, as a repositioning leg after dropping off hunting clients. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident, and a company VFR flight plan was filed. During a telephone interview with the NTSB investigator-in-charge on August 17, the pilot stated he began the takeoff roll, and the airplane hit a rut in the 2,000 feet long by 50 feet wide gravel airstrip. He stated the airplane swerved to the left, departed the edge of the airstrip, and nosed over. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings, and the vertical stabilizer.The pilot did not complete an NTSB accident report form as requested.

3 killed in crash on slick Marathon County highway
WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) -- Authorities say three people were killed and two others were injured in a two-vehicle crash near Wausau.
Marathon County sheriff's officials say a vehicle with four occupants slid across the centerline in the town of Maine about 8:30 a.m. Thursday and struck a second vehicle broadside. Three people in the first vehicle were killed. A fourth passenger and the driver of the second vehicle were taken to Aspirus Wausau hospital.
Sheriff's Lieutenant Steve Krueger says the State Patrol is working on reconstructing the accident.
DOA: No record of extra security for Wis. justice
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Officials with Governor Scott Walker's administration say they can't find any evidence corroborating state Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley's claims that state Capitol Police set up extra security to protect her from a fellow justice.
Bradley wrote in a memo released Wednesday that Capitol Police devised a special security plan to help protect her and Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson from Justice David Prosser in March 2011. Bradley wrote she and Abrahamson felt Prosser was prone to temper tantrums and was growing more agitated. Prosser allegedly placed his hands around Bradley's throat during an argument in her office in June of that year.
Walker's administration runs the Capitol Police. Administration spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis says she can find no record any security plan was ever implemented for Bradley and Abrahamson.
Wis official says regulatory loophole causes fraud
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A Wisconsin state official says a Middleton foster care company's alleged fraud was caused by a lack of financial oversight.
State Department of Children and Families officials told the Senate health committee on Thursday that the company's unusual expenses reports caught their attention in November 2011, when several counties reported missing the company's expenses reports.
The state says foster care companies used to set their own service rates and submit expenses to counties, but now the department can determine their rates and audit their expenses after legislators passed regulations in 2010.
The department says Community Care Resources Inc. has to pay back more than $6 million it allegedly overcharged by next Friday.
Community Care's attorney is disputing the allegations in a letter to the committee.
Minn. gay marriage supporters rally at Capitol
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Hundreds of gay marriage supporters packed Minnesota's Capitol rotunda as they start a push for its legalization by the Legislature.
No official count of Thursday's crowd was immediately available but it appeared to easily exceed 1,000 people. Speakers included DFL lawmakers and religious leaders who say last fall's statewide defeat of a constitutional gay marriage ban cleared the way to repeal the existing state law that bars same-sex couples from marrying.
Governor Dayton restated his support for same-sex marriage rights in his State of the State speech, and DFL legislative leaders have been increasingly open to the prospect of taking up the issue later in the current session.
Gay marriage foes say the ban's defeat doesn't prove widespread support for legalizing it. They plan their own Capitol rally March 7th.
USDA to spend $59 million on Miss. River clean up
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture says it's spending another $59 million this year on an initiative that works with farmers and other landowners to reduce pollution in the Mississippi River basin.
The agency says the new funding raises its total investment in the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds initiative to about $289 million since 2010.
The initiative works with farmers and landowners to encourage voluntary conservation practices that improve water quality, restore wetlands, enhance wildlife habitat and sustain agricultural profitability.
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says in a statement to The Associated Press that the program is an example of how voluntary conservation practices in small watersheds can help improve a larger river system by reducing sediment and nitrogen runoff.
The USDA plans to issue an official announcement later today.
2 Wis. natives finalists in chip flavor contest
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Two Wisconsin natives are competing for a $1 million prize for Frito-Lay's new potato chip flavor.
Karen Weber-Mendham of Land O' Lakes came up with cheesy garlic bread. She was inspired by her kids' love of garlic bread whenever the family goes to an Italian restaurant.
Also competing is Brookfield native Christina Abu-Judom, who now lives in Phoenix. She chose chicken and waffles as her flavor because her 13-year-old nephew loves them.
Weber-Mendham and Abu-Judom are among three finalists out of 3.8 million entrants in the Frito-Lay "Do Us a Flavor" contest. Entrants suggested flavors that would be transformed into actual potato chips, packaged and sold to customers.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the winner will be chosen by voters on Facebook, Twitter or by text until May 4th.

Fantasy Preview: Thursday Night FootballPosted by on December 6, 2012 – 8:45 am
The views expressed in this article are not of the New York Football Giants but those of an independent Fantasy Expert.
Last Week: 89 yards
Tamme had his best game of the season last week with nine receptions for 89 yards. Meanwhile, the Oakland Raiders rank 25th against the pass, allowing more than 250 yards per game. Coming off arguably one of the most productive games of his career, look for Tamme to come up big again and possibly find the end zone for third third time this season.
WR Denarius Moore, Raiders
Last Week: 31 yards
Moore caught two passes for 31 yards in last Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns. The hot start for Moore passed quickly, and in his last three games combined, he has four receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown. Compare that to Weeks 6-10, when Moore had four touchdowns, 22 catches and 389 yards. Case and point: he's due.

US Airways continues to post strong results as it heads toward a merger with American Airlines.Thanks to fuller planes and passengers paying more to fly, the Tempe, Ariz.-based carrier on Tuesday reported a $44 million profit for the first quarter. Revenue grew by 3.5 percent to $3.38 billion even as business travel demand softened in recent weeks because of the federal budget cuts."The good news is leisure demand has remained quite strong in 2013," airline President Scott Kirby said in a conference call with analysts.US Airways reported record passenger load factors, over 81 percent. Its unit revenue rose 2.2 percent from the first quarter of 2012.With federal budget cuts related to sequestration, Kirby said the airline's government revenue, about 3 percent of its total revenue, was down 37 percent in March."Business demand remains volatile and as long as the sequester remains in place, we expect government demand to continue to remain depressed," Kirby said.Unit revenues are expected to drop 3 to 4 percent in April from last year and be flat to down 2 percent in May and June if the sequester cuts remain in force, he added.CEO Doug Parker said the airline is experiencing some delays as a result of the Federal Aviation Administration furloughs of air traffic controllers.Parker said there are other ways for the FAA to cut $160 million from its budget and predicted that travel delays will increase as more furloughs take effect."As it continues, it gets worse," Parker said. "We haven't had any bad weather and bad weather would make this much worse. ... I can't imagine it stays in place for an extended period of time."Excluding one-time items, US Airways said its profit was $55 million, or 31 cents per share, beating Wall Street expectations of 27 cents, according to FactSet. Shares of US Airways (ticker: LCC) closed at $16.30, up 78 cents, or 5 percent.Regarding the merger with Fort Worth-based AMR Corp. to create the world's largest airline, Parker said integration planning is going well and the companies remain on track to close the merger in the third quarter."We've made a lot of progress," Parker said, adding that US Airways is working with government regulators as the Justice Department conducts its antitrust review.Also Tuesday, Delta Air Lines reported a profit in the traditionally weak first quarter. The Atlanta-based carrier said first-quarter earnings were $7 million as revenue increased 1 percent to $8.5 billion.Andrea Ahles, 817-390-7631Twitter: @Sky_Talk

Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles—dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino (Inglourious Basterds, Grindhouse, Pulp Fiction). Academy Award winner for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Waltz). Official Web Site

Photo Sense
Photo Sense: easy batch photo enhancement software.
Photo Sense makes your photographs more attractive quickly and easily, without spending a lot of time and money on learning, purchasing, and using professional photo editing software. Photo Sense enhances photos automatically, and allows you to customize results to your liking. It ensures that you get great results very quickly by supporting batch processing and image settings synchronization. In addition, you can give photos an artistic finishing touch by applying creative effects.
Instead of adjusting every photograph manually, as required in traditional photo editing software, just let Photo Sense process multiple photos completely automatically. Then save the results you like. If you wish to improve the automatic results, choose what adjustments (color correction, exposure, contrast, saturation, sharpening, noise reduction etc.) should be applied to particular photographs (the semi-automatic customization). Furthermore, you can fine-tune the results manually as in traditional image editing software.
The unique automatic photo enhancement algorithm implemented in Photo Sense embraces everything its developers learned during over 6 years of professional photography experience. The only shortcoming the application has compared to manual processing is the lack of human vision, which sometimes can lead to a suboptimal choice of automatic image processing parameters. With the tools provided by Photo Sense (two customization levels, batch processing, image settings synchronization etc.) you can easily and quickly perfect the automatic results.
• "Photo Sense is so easy to use that anyone can get the gist and make vast improvements to their pictures in just a couple of minutes."
• "A great app for batch processing, simplistically built and very easy to use."
• "Photo Sense is one of the most simplistic apps you're ever likely to encounter on the Mac."
- issue #95 of the iCreate magazine.
• "Contrary to what one might imagine, there are not so many applications dedicated to automatic image correction, and Photo Sense is almost an exception - a quality one."
• "Photo Sense is an excellent program that I recommend to all those who feel no particular interest in photo correction, but want to significantly improve the quality of their images without spending hours."
- issue #68 of the Vous et Votre Mac magazine.
• "Photo Sense is a nifty, automated photo editing app for OS X that can bring forgotten photos back to life. It's great for those that don't want a high-end app's expense or steep learning curve."
• "While Photo Sense isn't cheap, it is competitive with other image editors that are more complicated and don't always give such good results."
- Mel Martin, The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW).
• "Intuitive user interface, beautiful design and interesting photo enhancement algorithm combined with the batch processing function make Photo Sense a useful application for any Mac user who would like to perform a quality photo correction without much effort."
- appstudio.org
• "Overwhelmed With Complicated Photo Software? Try Photo Sense!"
• "If you are not interested in learning how to make changes and adjustments to your photos on your own, Photo Sense lives up to its name and makes a great solution."
- appadvice.com
• "We are quite successful in using your software for product photography. The workflow is remarkably intuitive and produces good results even with operators who don't have a photography background."
- Dr. Roderich Bott, Dr. Bott KG.
• "Very cool app. Makes your photos look like you knew how to use a camera."
- Photo Sense Lite user.
What's new

IMPORTANT: New SRVUSD Volunteer Requirements
SRVUSD is implementing a new system for all adults who wish to volunteer on a school campus or drive/chaperone day and overnight field trips and athletic events. This new Volunteer Management System features a web-based software application that allows the District and all schools to better track and provide the appropriate level of clearance for school volunteers.
ALL adult volunteers will need to go through this new process. The District will NOT be asking parents to incur any of the costs associated with these clearance processes. For more information, and to begin the application process, click here (http://www.srvusd.net/parents/volunteers).
Sports Registration 2014-2015

Every student-athlete must turn in a completed Athletic Packet in order to tryout for a team. Packets may be downloaded ('click' on the Athletic Packet link to the left) from this website or picked up in the front office or Bookkeeper's office.
Once all forms have been completed and turned-in, the athlete will receive a Yellow Athletic Clearance Slip. This is to be given to the coach at the first tryout. All coaches have been instructed NOT to allow a student to tryout without this yellow clearance slip.
Athletic Packet Turn-in Dates 2014-15
Turn in the completed packet to the Finance Office from 10:00am – 2:00pm.
Turn-in dates:
Fall Sports: August 6th - 8th

All schools

$5 Children (under 12 w/ an adult)
*$5 for Frosh ONLY football games, and all sports other than football and basketball.
High School athletics in the San Ramon Valley Unified School district are "self-funded." We cannot run the programs without your support. High Schools do not receive district (tax dollar) funds for equipment, uniforms, transportation, and most coaching stipends. As such, voluntary donations are solicited to fund these valuable programs. Without your generous donations sports at California High School cannot be offered. High school sports cost much less than outside club sports. Please keep them afloat and ongoing with your donation.
Voluntary Donations (defined)
Voluntary donations are needed to help alleviate our coaching staff from necessary administrative duties that the Athletic Department performs, and allows coaches to focus on our student-athletes.
These donations cover major operating costs of our athletic budget which includes: officials, equipment, possible athletic trainers, supervision/security, facility, first aid supplies, CIF, NCS & League fees and various general expenses to operate our athletic department budget.. The suggested donation will be detailed in a specific sport budget presented to parents at an orientation meeting after teams have been finalized.
Eligibility: It is a privilege, not a right, to participate in any extra-curricular activity. To be eligible to tryout for any sport, SRVUSD mandates that all athletes have a 2.0 GPA or higher based on their last quarter's grades. A 2.0 GPA or higher must be maintained throughout the season or the athlete will become ineligible to participate.
Go GRIZZ!

As I say, I'm not 100% certain (as in, I cannot currently prove) that it actually took place, but my recollection, such as it is, is that somebody produced a piece of contemporary 14th or 15th C. verse that had in turn appeared in a footnote for somebody's later edition of Taillevent or le Menagier. As I recall the lard was in the dough. Essentially, some editor, noting some gaps in the actual recipe material (for example, Taillevent mentions the famous Sauce Robert but, AFAIK, does not actually supply a recipe; one of the editors has included one from another roughly contemporary source; similarly, some editor appears to have noted that the author keeps talking about pies but doesn't describe the process for making the dough) and includes a separate but relevant, roughly contemporary, description. More than that I'm not currently prepared to tell you; we're doing the Lunar New Year prep and I'm in desperate need of caffeine. Maybe James Prescott (if he's still around) would recall the passage in question...

FDA approves breakthrough treatment for hepatitis C
Updated On: Dec 06 2013 06:16:00 PM EST
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug called Sovaldi (sofosbuvir) to treat chronic hepatitis C infections.
It's the first drug approved to treat certain types of hepatitis C without the need for interferon too, a drug which can cause severe side effects.
"Today's approval represents a significant shift in the treatment paradigm for some patients with chronic hepatitis C," said Dr. Edward Cox, director of the Office of Antimicrobial Products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
The hepatitis C virus can lie silently in the body for decades, then suddenly cause life threatening liver failure.
Several years ago, professor Onaiwu Ogbomo found out he had hepatitis C during a routine screening. He developed liver failure and was saved by a liver transplant, but when the hepatitis C recurred with a vengeance, his doctors broke some hard news.
"There's every likelihood I might die, and in fact, they clearly informed me that I should get go home and get my things in order," said Ogbomo.
Because he was dying, Ogbomo's doctors were working behind the scenes to try and get him the then investigational drug sofosbuvir on a "compassionate use" basis.
"We were able to get the drug," said Dr. Dilip Moonka, a liver specialist at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. "We honestly feel if we had waited two or three more days that would have been too long."
Moonka said the drug sofosbuvir will revolutionize the treatment of hepatitis C.
"We expect to have cure rates of over 95 percent. We expect the treatments to be shorter, and we expect there to be fewer side effects," said Moonka.
Sovaldi is a nucleotide analog inhibitor that blocks a specific protein needed by the hepatitis C virus to replicate. Sovaldi is intended to be used as a component of a combination antiviral treatment regimen for chronic hepatitis C infection. Depending on the type of infection a patient has, the treatment regimen could include Sovaldi and ribavirin or Sovaldi, ribavirin and peginterferon-alfa.
The most common side effects in the various treatments regimens were fatigue, headache, nausea, insomnia and anemia.
While anyone can get hepatitis C, according to the CDC, more than 75 percent of adults infected are Baby Boomers, people born from 1945 through 1965. Baby Boomers are encouraged to be tested, since most people with hepatitis C don't know they are infected.
Currently there are between 3 and 4 million cases of hepatitis C in the United States, but that number could increase as more people get screened.
Experts said knowing there is what amounts to a cure for some patients will come as a relief to those battling the virus and those to come.
"They literally pulled me out of the grave," said Ogbomo.

Good news for Windows Phone users; the Facebook application you have been using over the past year has just received an update. This version should bring things up to speed with the Mango flavor. Other non-related features unrelated to Mango will also be included, but we don't care about those. The Facebook app for Windows Phone is usable, but its missing many other things. The update finally brings push notifications to the platform. This means that when a notification is born on the Facebook site you will be notified immediately on Windows Phone rather than having to open the app to find out that your're friend just ate pizza or got a hair cut.
What else is coming? Other features include: "deep linking capability, the ability to link features like Messages and News Feeds to the Start page, Features toasts and tile notifications and the ability to pin selected elements of the app."
Having push notifications is being warmly welcomed by Windows Phone users.
[Source via Windows Phone]
find out that *your* friend just ate pizza or got a hair cut.

How to Recharge a Fire Extinguisher
In the event of an emergency, you'll want to make sure you have all the safety equipment nearby and ready to go. For fires, you will definitely want a working fire extinguisher. A fire extinguisher is more effective than water due to its flame-resistant chemicals that smother the root of the flame. Keep in mind that if you want a functioning tool, you need to know how to recharge fire extinguisher in Fort Lauderdale.
When to Refill
You might wonder how to determine when to recharge your fire extinguisher. There are a few different instances in which this is necessary. Know that each time you use your extinguisher, you should fill it up again. You may not use up all the contents of the tank, but take note that a partially full extinguisher may not have enough chemicals left over to work effectively.
So remember the next time you use the fire extinguisher that you need to recharge it right away. Another thing you should be mindful of is how old the extinguisher is. Even if they have not been utilized recently, they may still need recharging. A good rule of thumb is to recharge the tank after six years. The gauge on the extinguisher should be a decent indicator of when it needs refilling or replacement. The pressure dial has two different colors the needle will point to. Green means you're good to go but red means dead. Replacement information should be printed on your tank so you can know when you should get a new one. Fire extinguishers typically last between three and 12 years.
How to Recharge
You should be able to recharge a fire extinguisher if it has a metal valve at the top; a plastic valve means replacing it altogether. You can ask a fire station to refill the tank for you or you may recharge it on your own. As you do it, first empty the tank and release the pressure so the PSI reading is zero. Take off the metal valve at the top to do so. Next, attach a funnel to the valve. Prepare a bucket with nine quarts of water mixed with one quart of Fireade 2000. This is a chemical available to the public and is non-toxic and safe to handle. Stream this mixture into the extinguisher's tank and tightly screw the valve back on. Then attach an air compressor hose to the pressure valve and fill it up until it's 100 PSI. To ensure you know how to successfully recharge fire extinguisher in Fort Lauderdale, test it out.

Research project: Macmillan Survivorship Research Group - 5 year research programme
Our research
Around 2 million people are living with or beyond cancer in the UK and this figure is rising by more than 3% per year (Macmillan, 2008). Whilst increasing survival rates are to be celebrated, the experiences and needs of those who have completed their primary cancer treatment are relatively neglected (DoH, 2007).
Health professionals may be unaware of who is struggling with problems (Maher & Makin, 2007). Self management support can increase quality of life (QoL) and confidence in managing problems associated with cancer (Lev et al, 2001). Our research programme will identify who is most likely to need self management support following primary treatment and what forms this should take.
