Loren Gold is an American keyboardist, vocalist, music director, and songwriter. Gold is the keyboardist and backup vocalist for The Who, and keyboardist/vocalist for the band Chicago. In addition, Loren has been the touring keyboardist and backup vocalist for Roger Daltrey since 2009.  Loren also performs with Rita Wilson, and has toured regularly  with Don Felder since 2009.  Other artists he has toured with include Kenny Loggins, Natalie Maines, and American Idol winner Taylor Hicks. Gold has been musical director for pop stars Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and Hilary Duff, and he continues to build and develop bands for other artists. Gold has published two instructional books through his collaboration with Alfred Music, and his original compositions have been featured on HBO and Showtime.

Music Director
Gold toured in fall 2003 as the keyboard player for Hilary Duff, and continued as her musical director until 2007. In winter 2007, Gold co-wrote with the Canadian songwriter James Renald the first single for the American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, entitled "The Runaround". Television and national performances of "The Runaround" took place starting in December 2006. Gold became the musical director and keyboard player for Taylor, touring extensively in 2007.

In 2011, there were performances of the Who's Tommy and the hits of the Who, which included a performance for the Teenage Cancer Trust at Royal Albert Hall with Pete Townshend. On March 28, 2012, the band was joined on stage by Steve Winwood, Ronnie Wood, Paul Weller, Kelly Jones and Michael Miley for another Royal Albert Hall performance for the Teenage Cancer Trust. A world tour of Tommy continued throughout 2011–2012 with North America, Europe, and Japan.

The Who

In July 2012, the Who announced Gold as keyboardist / backing vocalist on their 2012–2013 35-date Quadrophenia and More tour, where they played their album Quadrophenia in its entirety. The tour continued in the summer of 2013 with performances throughout Europe, concluding with a performance at Wembley Arena in London. Between the two legs of the tour, Gold performed at 12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief – a benefit concert that took place on December 12, 2012, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Dental care should start at one year of age, with at least two check-ups per year.
In certain circumstances, more frequent care will be required to ensure optimal health for the child.
- Clean the infant's mouth with gauze after feedings and at bedtime.
- Consult your child's pediatrician regarding fluoride supplements.
- First tooth should appear.
- Brush teeth after each feeding and at bedtime with a small, soft-bristles brush.
- As the child begins to walk, stay alert of potential dental and/or facial injuries.
- Wean the child from breast or bottle by his/her first birthday.
- Follow schedule of dental examinations and cleanings as recommended by your child's pediatric dentist. As a general rule, dental exams and cleanings are recommended every 6 months for children and adults.
It is important to keep in mind that the deciduous teeth, more commonly known as baby teeth, are place holders for the future eruption of permanent teeth. Make note that when a baby tooth decays, it causes harm to the area required for permanent growth and often can only be regained by orthodontic treatment. The health of a child's baby teeth is a gateway to how the permanent teeth form and grow.
If under the age of two, thumb sucking is normal and expected. This does need to be stopped before the age of 5. Excessive thumb-sucking can result in crowded and irregular teeth development and bite problems.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends asking your pediatric dentist to assess the diet of your child.
Limiting unhealthy food for special occasions is also recommended.

Delta Queen
The legendary Delta Queen is the last remaining historical steamboat capable for overnight cruises, though it is unclear whether she'll ever be able to sail as a cruise ship again.
The Delta Queen and her identical twin the Delta King – called the million dollar boats – were fabricated from 1924 to 1927 on the River Clyde at the Isherwood Yard in Glasgow, Scotland, (other sources claim William Denny & Brothers Ltd., Dumbarton, Scotland) and assembled that same year at Banner Island shipyard in Stockton, CA. The machinery was built by William Denny & Brothers Ltd., Dumbarton, Scotland. The paddlewheel shaft and the cranks were forged at the Krupp Stahlwerke AG, Germany. The boats were completed on May 20, 1927.
The Delta Queen is listed as a National Historic Landmark.
She is 285 feet long, 60 feet wide and has a height of 66′-5" to the top of the smokestack. There are 87 staterooms for a total of 174 passengers.
Since the exemption for the Delta Queen from the Safety at Sea Act expired end of October 2008 she must no longer carry overnight passengers. But in November 2018, US Congress granted a new exemption, so at least legally the DQ can sail as a cruise ship again, given that she receives a Certificate of Inspection from the US Coast Guard.
From February 2009 the Delta Queen is located at Chattanooga, TN, to serve as a hotel and restaurant beginning in April 2009. Delta Queen fans are still working on getting a renewal of the exemption from Congress. For details see www.save-the-delta-queen.org.

The Bell and Whistle of the Delta Queen
https://www.steamboats.org/wp-content/uploads/fneassets/audio/bell-whistle-dq.mp3
The series of 3 x 3 bell strokes and the following whistle signal indicates the departure of the boat in about 30 minutes.
The Bell
The Delta Queen's bell was made by the Kaye Co., Louisville and was originally on the Anchor Line's sidewheeler CITY OF ST. LOUIS, built by the Howard Shipyard at Jeffersonville, Indiana in 1883.
The CITY OF ST. LOUIS burned in 1903 while laid up, but the bell survived and was sold to Capt. J. Frank Ellison who placed it on the Str. QUEEN CITY, remaining on that boat for her entire career which spanned 1897-1940. Later, the bell served briefly on the towboat MILDRED, the packet OUACHITA, and the towboat JOHN W. HUBBARD (now the MIKE FINK restaurant at Covington, KY). The bell was placed aboard the DQ in 1947 or 1948.
Under which circumstances the roof bell came from the JOHN W. HUBBARD to the DELTA QUEEN is not absolutely clear. Is seams that the bell was "transferred", not sold from Capt. Charles Campbell and Capt. Tom Greene, who were good friends. One theory says that Tom Greene loaned the bell to Campbell for the HUBBARD. Now Campbell was absorbed by "Valley Line" and the HUBBARD was sold by Campbell to the Ohio River Co. in 1947. Charlie Campbell probably didn't like the idea of either the bell or whistle going to ORCO, thus returning them to Tom Greene.
Delta Queen bell
Another theory suggests that the bell came into Greene Line ownership when they purchased the holdings of the Ohio River Transportation Co. in 1936, and got the OUACHITA in the deal. The Greene Line didn't need her bell at that time as they stripped her down to the main deck and made a deck barge out of her named STOGIE WHITE. So the Greene's may have loaned out the bell, and called in the favor when the DELTA QUEEN needed a decent roof bell.
Totally unrelated, one story tells that the DELTA QUEEN's bell is reputed to contain one hundred Mexican silver dollars in the alloy, for a "sweet" tone.
The Whistle
Many steamboat enthusiasts consider the sound of the Delta Queen's whistle as the most beautiful all along the rivers, like John Hartford praised the whistle's "deep, mellow sound" in his "Delta Queen Waltz".
The actual whistle seems to be the original Lukenheimer whistle, while the Delta Queen around 1950 for a while had the old whistle from the the Homer Smith (later renamed Chris Greene). Hear the Homer Smith / Chris Greene whistle. See also a letter of Capt. Tom Greene, discussing the whistle issue.
A while ago the whistle was moved away from her original position at the smoke stack and is now located right behind the pilot house. There had been arguments that the vibrations of the whistle may cause soot being rattled loose in th smoke stack, causing a shower of soot over the passengers on the open decks. What ever the reason for these frequent soot shower had been, the issue is solved as of today.

Delta Queen Calliope
The Delta Queen's calliope has first been connected and played on January 23, 1960. On the keyboard was Chief Engineer Fred A. Barrows. (brought to our attention by Ted Guillaum).
The video gives you an impression of the sound and look of the Delta Queens calliope. And there are more calliope recordings below. Read about her history in Travis Vasconcelos' story "The History of the Delta Queen Calliope".

Delta Queen History
The Delta Queen and her identical twin the Delta King – called the million dollar boats – were fabricated from 1924 to 1927 on the River Clyde at the William Denny & Brothers Ltd., Dumbarton, Scotland and assembled that same year at Banner Island shipyard in Stockton, CA. The machinery was built by William Denny & Brothers Ltd., Dumbarton, Scotland. The paddlewheel shaft and the cranks were forged at the Krupp Stahlwerke AG, Germany. The boats were completed on May 20, 1927.
Both boats run for the California Transportation Company of San Francisco on the so called "Delta Route", the Sacramtento – San Joaquin River Delta, which gave them their names. The boats took up their regular service on June 1, 1927, replacing the steamers Fort Sutter and Capital City. Both boats had their last regular runs on September 29, 1940, the closing day of the Golden Gate International Exposition or world fair on Treasure Island.
The Delta Queen was required by the Navy as receiving ship for naval reservists. The first group arrived on October 16, 1940. The Delta King followed in November 1940. These leases were planned for 6 months but in April 1941, the Navy renewed the leases for another 6 months. In fall of 1941 both boats returned to Stockton but instead of returning them to regular passenger service the California Transportation Company sold the boats to the Isbrandsten Steamship Co. of New York. Both vessels should be towed to the East Coast via the Panama Canal for use as excursion boats on the Hudson River. Pearl Harbor brought a turn in the fate of the boats. The Delta Queen and the Delta King rushed back into Navy service as emergency hospital transports. They were classified as Yard House Boats, the Delta King as YHB-6 and the Delta Queen as YHB-7, but retained their names.
On July 5, 1944, reclassified the boats as Yard Ferry Boats, the Delta King as YFB-55 and the Delta Queen as YFB-56. During the founding conference of the United Nations from April 25 to June 26, 1945, the Delta Queen took delegates of the 51 gathered nations on sightseeing trips around San Francisco Bay. In 1946 the boats went into lay-up at the Reserve Fleet on Suisan Bay, called the "mothball fleet". The Delta King was off the Navy records on April 17, 1946, the Delta Queen on August 28.
On December 17, 1946, the Delta Queen was bought from the War Shipping Administration by Capt. Tom R. Greene of Greene Line Steamers of Cincinnati, OH, for use on the Mississippi River system. Capt. Frederick Way Jr., engineer Charlie Dietz and ship carpenter Bill Horn prepared the Delta Queen on Fultons shipyard in Antioch, CA, for her voyage on sea. The Delta Queen started her legendary voyage through the Panama Canal on April 19, 1947, tugged by the tug Osage. She arrived in New Orleans on May 18, 1947, after 29 days covering 5,261 miles of open sea. The Delta Queen was reassembled and prepared for her voyage up the Mississippi River and the Ohio river to Dravo Corporation on Neville Island, Pittsburgh, PA, for a major overhaul.
She went back into passenger service on June 21, 1948. In 1966 the Safety of Life at Sea Law nearly ended the Delta Queen's career. Because of her wooden structure the legislation would end her passenger cruise. With the help of Betty Blake, Bill Muster and E. Jay Quinby the Delta Queen got an extension for two years. E. Jay Quinby also installed an old calliope on the Delta Queen, which was rescued from the sunken showboat Water Queen, made by Thomas J. Nichols as one of the famous "Three Sisters". In 1969 the ownership changed to Overseas National Airways. The Delta Queen's extension ran out in November 1970. The "Save The Delta Queen" campaign promoted by Betty Blake seemed to be a failure. On October 21, 1970, the Delta Queen left St. Paul for her final cruise to New Orleans with Capt. Ernest Wagner as master arriving in New Orleans on November 2. On December 31, 1970, President Nixon signed another extension until 1973. Those extensions are prolonged until the present time.
In 1973 the company's name was changed to Delta Queen Steamboat Company as the Greene family was no longer involved. In April 1976 the Delta Queen was sold to the Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of New York. Soon after that the Prudential Lines Inc. of San Francisco, CA, became involved. In the early 1980s Sam Zell and Bob Lurie of Chicago, IL, acquired control of the outstanding stock. On October 19, 2001, American Classical Voyages, the parental company of the Delta Queen Steamboat Co. and still under control of Sam Zell, filed for Chapter 11. All boats finished their cruises except the Delta Queen which finished the season on January 5, 2002. Fortunately, the Delta Queen Steamboat Co. finally was bought by Delaware North Companies, Inc. and the Delta Queen went back in service on August 26, 2002, the year of her 75th birthday. In 2006 the Delta Queen Steamboat Company again was sold, this time to Ambassadors International, who formed a new cruise line called Majestic America Line, running now also the Empress of the North, the Columbia Queen, the Queen of the West and other ships.
Since the exemption for the Delta Queen from the Safety at Sea Act expired end of October 2008 she must no longer carry overnight passengers. From February 2009 the Delta Queen is located at Chattanooga, TN, to serve as a hotel and restaurant beginning in April 2009.
On November 27th, 2018, US Congress has granted a new exemption to allow the historic Delta Queen to return to the rivers as a cruise ship. According to Cornel Martin, President and CEO of the Delta Queen Steamboat Company, the Delta Queen was projected to return to service in 2020. This will probably be delayed in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
For more details about the difficult fight to get a new exemption from US Congress, see www.save-the-delta-queen.org.
The Delta Queen
December 17th, 1946: Capt. Tom Greene and family received formal notification from the UNITED STATES MARITIME COMMISSION that his bid for "The vessel DELTA QUEEN (YFB 56) had been accepted." His bid of $46,250.00 had been the only one received. Thus began the greatest adventure of his life and that of boon companion/advisor Capt. Fred Way, Jr. (brought to our attention by R. Dale Flick)
Celebrities travelling on the Delta Queen
The most famous trip of the Delta Queen has been the "Presidential Cruise" of 1976 (???) of Jimmy Carter and family. But there had been other Celebrities cruising the Delta Queen as well. Here are some memories from the Steamboats.org Message Board.
January 16, 2003, Jane Greene: "Not all celebrities on the Delta Queen were Presidents. Ever heard of William Carlos Williams? I have..only because my college degrees were in English and so were my sisters at the time that William Carlos Williams was on the Delta Queen and Mary was the social director. She was quite thrilled that this famous American poet, Pullitzer Prize winner was travelling with us. However, not EVERYONE had heard of this poet who in real life was a pediatrician. Mary prevailed upon him to read some of his famous poems one night for the passengers. I wasn't on the trip, but when I talked with my sister later, I asked how the evening went when Dr. Williams read his poems to the passengers.She said that it didn't go so well, that he may as well have been unpacking his suitcase for them…that they were just sorta counting the minutes till they could get up and do the hokey pokey.I was disappointed that nobody dug him, and cocluded that he was casting pearls before swine. And I thought the same when the famous Virgil Fos was playing classical music on the calliope at Cave-in-Rock to people who no doubt would rather hear chopsticks. However, at my ripe old age of 60, my entire views have changed…We are ALL swine and we are ALL pearl casters. EVeryone has areas of expertise which the other guy probably doesn't get…so rather than to look down on those who don't share our knowledge and appreciation for this and that, I've concluded that the important thing ONLY is to recognize the appreciation within ONESELF. As long as I know that I appreciate William Carlos Williams' poetry, that's all that matters. This all sounds lofty, no doubt, but the bottom line is "Don't condemn people who don't tap their toes to the same tunes that you do. They may know tons more than you in another area. Philosophically yours, Jane"
January 16, 2003, Jane Greene: "My mother sent him [Jimmy Carter] her book Long Live the Delta Queen after he returned from his trip. He wrote her a lengthy thank you note which she certainly didn"t expect. Then later, when she was hospitalized several times with various things, he sent her get-well cards in the hospital! The nurse's were amazed to see her cards from Pres. Carter with the pre.seal sitting there among a host of others. Just thought that was very nice of him. Plentya people had forgotten Letha Greene by then, that's for sure, but old Jimmy remembered her. Also, to add a bit of levity, when mom was autographing her book, she asked ME what I thought she should say on there. I said that I had heard that they stayed in room 338 which was frequentyly occupied by my parents years ago, so I said, I think you oughta say "Best wishes to the only President who ever slept in my room!" She howled but refrained. Also, mom never did figure out how he found out that she was in the hospital?"
January 17, 2003, Ted Guillaum: "Another celebrity name to add to the steamboat list is Olivia de Haveland. One year the company scheduled a "Movie Cruise" for the Delta Queen and a "Big Band" cruise for the MQ. It was early in the season and bookings were low on the DQ (especially since the company was trying to channel most people to the MQ) so they canceled the DQ and combined both cruises to the MQ. What a bargain for the passengers! Some of the DQ crew like myself and cruise Director, Terry Severns, were put on the MQ to help host the movie people. Terry and I shared the duties of hosting Ms. de Haveland who was a most gracious lady as most big celebrities are. It was a pleasure and I even got a paycheck. Ms. de Haveland was traveling alone and she wanted one of us to be with her for public appearances. She was the only living leading character from "Gone With The Wind" and of course we showed the film. Now for the name dropping part. I got to sit next to Olivia de Haveland while watching "GWTW" and sharing popcorn with her. The passengers loved her."
50th birthday of the Delta Queen 1976
As Ted Guillaum brought to our attention, here is the official press release for the Delta Queen's 50th birthday in 1976:
The Delta Queen celebrates her 50th birthday in 1976. Her hull was fabricated on the River Clyde in Glasgow, Scotland and shipped to Stockton, California for final assembly. Her superstructure was completed in 1926 and she was commissioned by the California Transportation Company to operate overnight trips between Sacramento and San Francisco.
No expense was spared in outfitting the Delta Queen with the finest appointments. Teakwood handrails line her outside decks. Stained glass windows set with copper rather than lead decorate the Forward Cabin lounge and the Texas Lounge. The Orleans Room features Siamese ironbark floor. Cut glass fills the door of the Gift Shop. And throughout the boat, the fittings are brass and the posts and paneling are either oak or mahogany. These features are irreplaceable and unique to the Delta Queen. Her original cost was $850,000.
During World War II, the U.S. Navy used the Delta Queen to ferry troops and wounded in San Francisco Bay. She was decommissioned in 1946 and auctioned off to Tom Greene, President of Greene Line Steamers, the former name of The Delta Queen Steamboat Co. Greene originally bid unsuccessfully for the Queen's twin sister, the Delta King. His successful bid on the Queen was $46,250.
After painstakingly crating the superstructure, Tom Greene had the Delta Queen towed across 5,000 miles of open sea down the Pacific Coast, through the Panama Canal, and up the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans. From there, she traveled under her own power to the Dravo Shipyards in Pittsburgh where she was remodeled and re-outfitted at a cost of nearly $750,000.
On June 30, 1948 the Delta Queen made her maiden passenger voyage on the Mississippi River system with a round trip from Cincinnati to Cairo, Illinois. In 1966, the operation of the Delta Queen encountered a legal snag. That year the U.S. Congress passed the Safety at Sea Law which requires any vessel carrying more than 50 overnight passengers to be constructed entirely of steel. The law was passed after the Viking Princess and the Yarmouth Castle burned at sea and was intended to legislate the construction of ocean going vessels. But the broad terminology of the bill embraced river bound vessels as well. It looked as if the Delta Queen might have to be retired. But her supporters rallied behind her. And since 1966, they have persuaded Congress to five 5 exemptions from the law. In return, the Delta Queen's current exemption from the law expires November 1, 1978. And since the sternwheeler is a riverboat rather than an ocean vessel, the steamboat company is now working to have legislation introduced into Congress that would permanently exempt the steamer from the Safety at Sea Law. [*this exemption has occured, Ted]
The significance of the Delta Queen as the last overnight sternwheel steamboat of its kind has been recognized by the U.S. Department of the Interior which has listed her in the National Register of historic Places and by the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration which has certified her as an ongoing Bicentennial experience.
The Delta Queen is truly a tribute to America and the era of Mark Twain.
A Letter from famous Delta Queen Captain Ernie Wagner
Ted Guillaum wrote the following on the Steamboats.org Message Board on January 16, 2003:
Many "old timers" and almost all S & D members remember the late Bert Fenn of Tell City, Indiana. I found his Christmas letter from 1980. It was the first Christmas after the death of Capt. Ernie Wagner. I think it is appropriate to submit the letter in it's entirety since it is a story about the great Capt. Wagner:
MAY NOTHING YOU DISMAY
It seems fitting somehow to spin a tale this year about Capt. Ernie Wagner who passed away in October. This story may be common knowledge on the river but I don't recall its being bantered about like other of his tales.
Ernie knew everything there was to know about running an excursion boat. He came up from ice cream vendor, to deck hand, to mate, to captain, to commodore on the Island Queen, the Avalon, the Delta Queen and the Mississippi Queen. And to the end he wasn't afraid to don work clothes and join the crew in dirty work.
He was dressed like that one day, in a pair of greasy coveralls, puttering around the wharfboat at Cincinnati, when a newly hired young assistant purser reported for work on the Delta Queen. Mistaking Wagner for a bum, this young pup introduced himself and asked if he could do anything for him.
Always the practical joker, Ernie asked him for a job on the boat. He was directed to the business office.
A couple of hours later Wagner, by then dressed in his impressive Captain's uniform, ran into the new purser again.
"Son, I'll never forget what you did for me. I went over to the office, and they gave me the job of Captain."
Like the old steamboats, as Sidney Snooks once wrote, that "have drifted into some cove of green willows around the last bend." Ernie Wagner is a tradition on the river. He will continue to occupy cherished memories in many of our hearts. Rest easy, Cap.
Merry Christmas ***** Happy New Year 1980
Bert Fenn
Bert and Capt. Wagner are both river treasures that are missed by all who knew them.

A Brief History Of The Worst 'Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire' Mistake Ever
Kat Rosenfield 11/18/2015
Ten years ago today, on November 18, 2005, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" officially released in theaters across the U.S., and there was much rejoicing.
But within two hours, a great cry had erupted from the Potter-loving masses. A cry of horror. A cry of outrage. A cry that would echo on the internet forever, because we still can't believe that happened.
And by "that," obviously, we mean the part immediately after Harry Potter's name emerges on the binding list of Tri-Wizard Tournament competitors, when Albus Dumbledore comes raging down the stairs, grabs Harry by the collar, and bellows, "HARRY! DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!!"
Of all the things that got lost in translation when "Harry Potter" made the move from page to screen, this is the one screw-up that fans are still talking about. It's the gaffe that must not be named; the Voldemort of mistakes.
And today, in honor of the movie's tenth anniversary, we're taking a closer look at it.
That's definitely not how it went down in the books.
Needless to say, this scene played out pretty differently in J.K. Rowling's novel, where Dumbledore was described as asking the question calmly -- and where he definitely didn't pull that crazy shoulder-grabbing move, which probably terrified Harry and gave him a near-fatal case of shaken-wizard syndrome.
But then, Movie Dumbledore was a lot more aggressive than Book Dumbledore, in general.
Truth: The GOBLEDDA FIYAH moment was just the most egregious example of the wise old wizard being portrayed in a way that was wildly out of character. J.K. Rowling's Dumbledore was ancient, wise, and always in quiet control (albeit infuriatingly vague at times.) Gambon's Dumbledore? Much more shouty. Like, at least 5000% more shouty.
How could this happen?!
The best-case scenario? Ignorance. Unlike Richard Harris (who played Dumbledore in the first two "Harry Potter" films before his death in 2002), Gambon has a personal policy against reading the books that he's starring in adaptations of -- which means he had no idea, going in, that Book Dumbledore was such a soft-spoken guy.
But also, Gambon just didn't really... um, care.
When asked about acting in the "Harry Potter" series, he famously replied, "I don't have to play anyone really. I just stick on a beard and play me, so it's no great feat." (So basically, that's not even Dumbledore we were watching. It's just Michael Gambon in a prosthetic beard.)
Potterheads do, though. They care. A LOT.
http://idkifangirlalot.tumblr.com/post/113173476756/things-well-never-get-over
Hundreds of tweets, thousands of reblogs, and at least one "DID YA PUT YA NAME IN DA GOBLEDDAH FIYAH" Facebook group later, Michael Gambon had better hope he never ends up stuck in an elevator with one of the millions of fans who will hold a grudge about this for the rest of their lives.


Professor of Psychological Science Mindy Erchull was quoted in an article on MEA WorldWide entitled "'Unrealistically perfect images' on social media influencing more and more teens to go under the knife." Professor Erchull said, "The answer to more and more teens opting for cosmetic surgeries lies in how these young kids perceive their own body image and their thought process built around it."

Mindy Erchull recently presented at the annual meeting of the Association for Women in Psychology held in Pittsburgh, Pa. She presented a paper titled The thin ideal: A "wrong prescription" not an inspiration based on a book chapter in the recently published book, The wrong prescription for women: How medicine and media create a 'need' for treatments, drugs, and surgery. She also presented a poster titled Self-sexualization: From other-evaluation to self-evaluation with Leanna Papp ('14) and Celeste Kelly ('15).


Natural Psoriasis Treatment is still set to make its mark in addressing psycho-physical and physical matters of the said disease. This treatment should be able to help or control the formation of Psoriasis and to be able to maintain it. Various natural psoriasis treatments have been introduced to rehabilitate the condition of the disease regardless of which skin area is directly affected.
Natural Psoriasis Treatment using Psoral Cream. Since Millions of people all over the world are being affected of Psoriasis, Psoral, which ingredient can only be found from the rain forests in Peru, has found to be an effective natural psoriasis treatment for those hundreds of people who live in the place. Psoral Cream has an ingredient mixed from others found in Spain and Dead Sea known to restore the infected skin.
Topical Corticosteroids are also used as natural psoriasis treatment for those whose condition ranges from mild to moderate. It works best for infected patches of skin by reducing itchiness and inflammation and therefore hampers the immune system in speed production of skin cells that generate psoriasis.
Vitamin D Analogues are also used as part of medication which, like the rest of the medicines presented, labors by blocking down the growth of cells-inducing psoriasis. This natural psoriasis treatment may be expensive but may show relevant development in improving the condition of the person suffering from Psoriasis.
Topical retinoids or Tazarotene is considered to play vital role in decreasing inflammation of psoriasis-infected skin. Tazarotene is known to cure acne but shows more positive reaction as a natural psoriasis treatment. This treatment may cause skin-irritation and use of sun-blocking agent is highly required.
Calcineurin Inhibitors are also regarded as a natural psoriasis treatment. This medicine works in a same way that other psoriasis medications do to affected skin areas. Calcineurin Inhibitors can only be used when doctor prescribed and may not be suitable for long time use as it causes skin cancer in the long run.
Light Therapy is said to be one of the most popular and effective form of natural psoriasis treatment. In this process, the affected areas are being exposed to artificial ultraviolet light which will eventually neutralizes the skin after series of conduction. There are different light therapies which can be adopted as part of natural psoriasis treatment. This could be through sunlight, UVB Phototherapy, Narrowband UVB Therapy or the combination of UVB and Tar Treatment known as Goeckerman therapy. All these are found out to be effective and would require physician's supervision to ensure proper medication is administered.
There are also oral and injected medications designed to address severe types of psoriasis or which exhibits opposing reaction to other treatments. A natural psoriasis treatment in the form of Retinoids which works in relation to Vitamin A, Methotrexate, Cyclosporine which reacts as an immunosuppressant drug, Hydroxyureawhich are found out to be stronger when combined with phototherapy treatment and Thioguanine. All these natural psoriasis treatment are taken for short period of time only as most of them poses negative side effects like anemia, upset stomach, fatigue and loss of appetite to name a few.
Despite wider range of options to treat psoriasis of varying condition, natural psoriasis treatment could not really attest to how fast and effective the medications are. Most medications depend on how our body and entire system reacts to the treatment which could either make the psoriasis speedily progressing or slowly hampered. Doctors will recommend treatment based on the severity of the affected areas and depending on the appearance of the affected skin. And because psoriasis develops in an unpredictable behavior, your medication may also be changed to cope up with its activity.
Over time, our body will become immune to the medications we are introduced to by our doctors, when this happen, the need for them to let us undergo stronger treatment which our body won't resist will be greatly required. As part of the underlying procedure, it will always be best to get properly educated about your real condition, seek support from people who are experiencing the same and follow your doctor's advice at all times. Doctors are the great people behind natural psoriasis treatment and why they are effective.

Avocados are here to murder and to maim
Surgeons are getting more and more patients with wounds on their hands because these people misplaced avocados. The Dutch Society for Plastic Surgery calls on Tuesday for Dutch supermarkets and producers to adapt the 'instructions' to avocados.
The culture of avocados now often gives two possibilities to extract the pit from the popular fruit: with a knife or with a spoon. With the knife, it can go wrong, causing people, for example, to cut themselves at the base of a finger and damage a nerve.
Also in many instructional videos online, the unsafe method of stoning is used by cooks. Doctors also propose that a warning sticker be attached to the avocados, which consumers can disclose with the risks.
"Pitting with a knife often goes wrong, usually causing nerve damage", says plastic surgeon Annekatrien of the Olvg cart in Amsterdam.
"Unfortunately, the risks are unknown whether they are underestimated by the consumer. When it comes to pitting, consumers often keep an avocado half in the palm of their hand. When the blade peels out, or slides off the pit, they stick it in their hand. In addition, we often see that the sensory nerves of the fingers are damaged or cut. Sometimes people even hit a tendon, " says Van de Kart.
And that's not Dutch who invented it. The idea to label the avocado with instructions dates back to 2004.
"Doctors in England argued in 2004 for warning stickers on avocados because of the risk of hand injury during pitting," says Van der Kar.
There are no figures on how often 'avocado injury' occurs in our country, but the office speaking on behalf of the Dutch Association for plastic surgery refers to American research. That would show that there are eight thousand Americans who get an avocado-related injury every year.
Stripping the avocado with a spoon can prevent potentially serious hand injury, says the NVPC. After cutting the avocado in half, the pit can easily be removed with a spoon.

Collect royalties every time you perform.
With that membership, you have access to earning royalties for plays on radio, TV, and what we're mostly going to talk about today, LIVE. The catch is – you are responsible for reporting it. If you're not reporting it, you're losing royalty payments for performances of your music! And no one likes the sound of that.
I get it – if you perform a lot, it's overwhelming, it takes time to get all the info, then you have to meet deadlines – but look, this only helps you in the long run so you wan to make it part of your routine. Whether you are doing it on your own or if you've hired someone to do it for you, here are some things that will speed up and make the entire process less painful for you.
**If you perform the same setlist often, build the setlist beforehand and then you are able to select that setlist when you are reporting each show. Also, most of them let you duplicate an existing reported show which is helpful when you are reporting a month long tour (trust me!).
To make it less overwhelming when it's time to report, build a spreadsheet and then fill it out every week, 2 weeks, month – this depends on your tour schedule. This way, it takes minutes at a time, and not hours on end.
My advice? Get caught up now and then just make it a habit to report each month. This way, you will never miss a deadline.
I hope if you are performing you found this helpful, and that you'll start reporting your performances!

We believe in two simple ideas: Face-to-face play connects friends and family like nothing else, and the ability games have to teach foundational skills is unsurpassed. Play just works, both at home and in the classroom. That's why we make quality wooden games for preschoolers, classic skill games for families, and brain-teasing strategy games and pop-culture games for adults.
We're a 2 year-old US game company owned by Dennis and Crystal Callaghan (Tree Toys) and Tim Walsh (The Playmakers). We design high-quality games for kids and families which we sell wholesale to retailers, toy stores, game stores and gift shops across the United States.
Dennis Callaghan formed Tree Toys in 1985 in the garage of his home in Turramurra, a suburb of Sydney, Australia. Although the company is best known for its line of Wild Science educational science kits, its original products were wooden, educational toys, making the launch of Getta1Games a return to the company's roots.
Crystal Callaghan is the VP of Production with over 25 years of production expertise. "We make sure all our games are the highest quality," she says. "Our standards meet or exceed all international safety standards."
Tim Walsh began his time in toyland working for Patch Products (now PlayMonster) as its VP of Product Development & Marketing. His designs and co-designs of games have sold over 7 million copies in 13 countries and include the games TriBond, Blurt, Mad Gab and many others. He spearheads the Product Development & Marketing arms of Getta1Games.
And our name? "We have a mutual friend who saw one of our games and loved it," Tim shared. "His English isn't perfect, so he said, 'I gotta getta one!'. it stuck."
…because our games are fun, they are played over and over again.
…because they are played over and over again, they must be well-made.
…because they are well-made, they must have good margins built into them.
…because they have good margins built into them, our distributors are successful.

What flow meters are compatible – Many 2 wire pulse flow meters are compatible including models from FlowPro, Hunter, Toro, CST or Rainbird. These wires will have 2 wires and a k and offset value. The Spruce app has several preset meter options or allows custom values.
What is a flow meter – A flow meter measures the actual water flow through the pipe. Some models have a paddle wheel that turns with the water, others use advanced technology that detects changes in turbulence or sound. The specific technology does not effect compatibility as long as the meter qualifies as a 2-wire pulse type meter.
Why add a flow meter – Flow meters measure actual water flow through the pipe. This provides an accurate measurement that provides the real water use of your system. The meter can also be used to detect leaks or changes in flow alerting you of potential issues. Underground irrigation leaks can quickly cause a very expensive water bill, and a flow meter can help avoid this issue.
Why wired vs a wireless meter – A wired meter provides an always on monitoring solution that measures flow in real time. This means that any changes in waterflow are captured because the meter is always on and always monitoring the flow. Wireless meters typically rely on measuring in intervals and are limited in how long of an interval they can stay on because of battery life constraints. Because of this limitation, they have not been approved as deduct meters which requires accuracy as a prerequisite.
What is a deduct meter – Some regions offer rebates for "deduct" meters. These meters can be used to reduce water utility bills because the water measured through the irrigation system is going into the ground opposed to the sewer. This water use is "deducted" from the measured water use that is typically used to calculate sewer charges.
Does Spruce use the flow meter to chart water use – Yes, after baseline, each zone that uses the flow meter will use measure water flow all water use charts.

Scouting For Innovative Slimming Treatments? Check this out!
March 09, 2017 Francis Dominic 0 Slimming, Slimming Treatments, Technology, Weight loss
Everyone less than the age 40 (or in some occasions, even people in their 60s) nowadays are fanatics of slender and curvy body structures. This phenomenon is followed by several slimming medicines, treatments and surgeries that are almost available now everywhere.
If you are one of those people who are always on the lookout for new slimming techs, then this is for you.
HOT SHOTS: ATX-101
"It's simply an injection, so the ease of use is a great thing," says New York dermatologist Francesca Fusco, MD, of forthcoming jawline sculptor ATX-101. Using a synthetic version of the same molecule, deoxycholic acid, that our digestive system uses to process dietary lipids, ATX-101 shrinks the small pockets of fat that cause double chins. In clinical trials, patients experienced significant loss in submental fat as well as an increase in skin firmness following a series of up to six injections spaced four weeks apart. "Not only are you destroying the fat cells, you're also getting some tightening of the skin," says Miami- and New York City–based dermatologist Fredric Brandt, MD. But while Frank anticipates "a huge stir of applause," he cautions against touting the procedure as a fix-all. In one clinical study, over 20 percent of patients experienced moderate postshot pain, and, he says, "it causes bruising and swelling" that can last two to five days after each treatment. There's also a reason why ATX-101 is best limited to use above the chest. "It's not something that I'd inject all over someone's stomach," Brandt says. "The more fat you're treating, the more of an inflammatory response you're going to get. So when you're treating large areas of the body, there's going to be a lot of swelling."
LIPO-202
Another injectable is being tested in clinical trials specifically to tackle the stomach. Lipo-202's active ingredient, salmeterol xinafoate, found in common asthma medications, whittles fat cells by targeting and diminishing the triglycerides they store (the more triglycerides a cell contains, the bigger it is). "Lipo-202 shrinks the size of the fat cell—it's not destroying it, like with other modalities," says dermatologist Marina Peredo, MD. As a result, "There is no recovery. There is no downtime." Better yet: Many patients report dropping a dress size. "That, I think, was the biggest wow factor," Peredo says. A full course of treatment involves a five-minute session of 20 tiny shots dispersed evenly over the abdomen, performed once a week for eight weeks. And while current trials address only belly issues, Peredo says, "I could see this being used in other areas, like arms or the back," as well as under the chin. But could the inches come back if we give in to a few too many doughnut binges? "We don't have the answer yet," says Peredo, who adds that new studies will look at the long-term effectiveness of the treatment.

Visa – You need to get a visa to India in advance – usually a 6 month tourist visa. Contact your local Indian embassy or high commission to process the application. In the UK the High Commission of India has outsourced visa processing to VFS Global – the current fee is £41.24 including service fee. You can apply online or at various centres around the country. I recommend allowing at least a few weeks before you travel, preferably more to allow enough time for processing.
Vaccinations – Visit adoctor or travel clinic at least two months before you travel to find out which travel vaccinations are necessary. You may also consider taking malaria medication. The Fit for Travel website run by the British NHS has useful information on vaccinations needed for destinations around the world.
Inform Bank – It isn't possible to purchase Indian rupees outside the country so your best option is to use an ATM card to withdraw money at the airport when you arrive. ATMs are easily found in the cities in Kerala, although you'll need to make sure you have cash when visiting rural areas. Before you leave let your bank know that you are going abroad so that they don't block it when you use it in India. It's always a good idea to have a few bank cards as back ups in case one gets blocked or stolen.
Pack Light – Unless you are renting a car and driver it's best to pack light when travelling in India. This will make your life much easier on crowded buses and trains. It's hot year round in coastal Kerala so light clothing is fine – pack a sweater if visiting the hill country around Periyar and Munnar though. Women should remember to pack clothes that cover their shoulders, knees and chest. Shorts aren't appropriate for men or women when visiting temples.
Buy a Guidebook – A good guidebook will not only provide you will information about sights and accommodation but will warn you about local etiquette and teach you about the history and customs of Kerala. I recommend the Rough Guide to Kerala or the Lonely Planet South India if you are exploring beyond Kerala.
Make photocopies – Make photocopies of your passport, visa and other important travel documents and leave one copy with someone at home and keep one with you. You could also email it to yourself. This makes things much simpler in case you lose your passport..
If you take care of all of the above tasks your trip to Kerala will be a lot smoother.

CHICAGO – BP announced today the launch of its new 'to go' retail image, a flexible image offer that allows BP branded marketers to upgrade their convenience stores with an attractive, new look inside and out. Available starting this month, the BP 'to go' image is one more tool that BP is offering retailers that may help them increase sales and attract more consumers.
"When the need for a fresh, flexible and affordable retail image was identified, we collaborated with our branded marketers to create the 'to go' retail image," said Amy Abraham, BP vice president of marketing and communications. "Every site is different in layout and service offerings, so 'to go' offers our branded marketers the option to select from a variety of elements to fit their needs, while enhancing the overall retail experience."
The new retail image package includes a variety of elements to suit various convenience store layouts, building exteriors and price sign (also known as MID displays). These elements are designed to blend seamlessly with existing BP brand designs and are flexible enough to accommodate the unique needs of small and large format sites.
Three BP stations piloted the 'to go' retail image in 2013 and the response from participating BP branded marketers has been positive.
BP branded marketers can place orders for 'to go' elements beginning May 15. To be eligible for 'to go' elements, sites must have passed their latest two Helios shops and are recommended to have at least 1,000 square feet of convenience store retail space.
Images of the 'to go' retail offer are available upon request.

Q: Device admin confirm before DEACTIVATE I want to ask a confirmation before disabling/deactivating device admin for my application. I searched a lot about it but not fing any proper solution for this.
In short, I want to detect a callback when user click DEACTIVATE button from device admin and I want to ask a confirmation to use that whether are you sure you want to deactivate device admin ? If use press cancel then device admin should not be deactivated.
If you observer  AppLock application by DoMobile Lab from google play store, you can find that this app is doing the same thing. So there must be some secret behind it.

A: You can do it by overriding onDisableRequested() method of DeviceAdminReceiver
public class AdminReceiver extends DeviceAdminReceiver {
    @Override
    public CharSequence onDisableRequested(Context context, Intent intent) {
        return "Are you sure you want to disable the Device admin?";//OR whatever message you would like to display
    }

}

As per documentation

Called when the user has asked to disable the administrator, as a result of receiving ACTION_DEVICE_ADMIN_DISABLE_REQUESTED, giving you a chance to present a warning message to them. The message is returned as the result; if null is returned (the default implementation), no message will be displayed.

This will show a popup with OK and cancel button, along with the text returned.

Q: RichTextBox removes linebreaks from Email Headers So I am trying to put together a simple add in for outlook which will read email headers. Getting the headers of the email is trivial enough and I have made a windows form with a RichTextBox in order to show the header (currently I am just pushing the full raw headers in, in the future I'd like to format them and make them a bit easier to read, highlight the more important parts etc, hence the RichTextBox).
The problem I am having is that once I set the textbox.Rtf, it loses the natural new lines which are in the headers, which makes them a mess. If I do textbox.Text, they have the linebreaks so they are much nicer to read.
I've tried a few different things in order to try and force the new lines to show (by using \line and \par for example) but it never seems to come through once I use .Rtf.
   Public Class showHeaders

        Public Shared Sub MyMsg(msg As String)
            Dim MsgUserForm1 As New MsgUserForm
            With MsgUserForm1
                MsgUserForm1.Text = "Email headers:"
                .RichTextBox1.Text = msg
                .RichTextBox1.Rtf = .RichTextBox1.Text
                .Show()
                Dim sSaveFolder As String = "C:\headers\"
                .RichTextBox1.SaveFile(sSaveFolder & "Headers.txt")
            End With
        End Sub

        Private Shared Function parseHeaders(inputHeader As String) As String
            inputHeader = inputHeader.Replace("\r\n", "\line")
            inputHeader = inputHeader.Replace("\n", "\line")
            inputHeader = inputHeader.Replace("Received:", "\b Received:\b0")
            inputHeader = "{\rtf1\ansi " + inputHeader + "}"
            Return inputHeader
        End Function

    End Class

Any help would be welcome as I don't understand why RichTextBox is behaving the way it is.

A: Vb.net doesn't allow you to use \ to escape the \r\n or \n characters to to represent the respective Chr(13) and Char(10) characters
Instead you need to do this.
 inputHeader = inputHeader.Replace(VbNewLine, "\line")
 inputHeader = inputHeader.Replace(VbLF, "\line")

Alternately you can use  Control.Chars.CrLf and Control.Chars.Lf


I have no problem with cleaning to the original finish, Arthur. However, I would err on the side of caution!
I have what has been identified as a Worcester drum identical to yours. The only difference is that your drum is a little cleaner. Mine has a small amount of pitting on the top.
I gave $1,100.00 for mine last summer. The rotor is a high blue in appearance. .
It functions flawlessly, I put 50 through it and put it away after oiling it well. In the future I would like to get an AO drum as a shooter.
I will check my texts this evening and compare the lettering to determine which vintage drum this is. Font, punctuation, etc. differ on the various drums. My guess without checking is that this is a 4th generation drum, the first one made by Worcester Press in the 1930's. The 4th gen drums still had the nickel rotor. The 5th gen Worcester and later drums all had blued rotors. From your pictures, the rotor appears to be nickel. Based on what I have been told by others, a nice 4th gen drum now fetches beween $1200 and $1500, though as Sig said, your mileage may vary.
I would not alter this drum in any way. Keep it and enjoy it!
The drum you sold to me in May of 2003 was also a 4th generation made by Worcester. That was confirmed both from Doug Richardson's book and by Tracie Hill.
Walter may have sold you a Worcester drum, but what Hawk has is a non-numbered, non NO: marked, third version of the Colt L drum. The nickel rotors stopped with the Colt drums. A 4th "generation" drum would be a WH drum.
Arthur, I believe there has been some difference of opinion on just when the nickel rotors were no longer used. Also, there is always the possibility of either old (excess) Colt parts and/or rotors being used on Worcester Press drums right out of the factory, or exchanged later in the life of the Worcester drum in question. Who knows?
Yah, you can find a nickel rotor in a Worcester, and you can find a black oxide Worcester rotor in a Colt drum. But I can't fathom where Roger is confused as to the fact that Hawk's drum is indeed a Colt drum, not a Worcester drum.
According to both Tracie Hill and Doug Richardson, the first version of the Worcester drums had nickel rotors. The lettering is all that distinguishes them from the 3rd gen Colt drums (no number, no NO.). I have no idea whether the nickel rotors were leftover from the Colt runs or were manufacturered by Worcester. As Walter says, anything is possible. I will compare Hawk's lettering to samples I have to decide whether it is a 3rd or 4th gen L-drum.
Think what you may, but I will go with Tracie and Doug on this one!
Roger, Tracie Hill, Doug Richardson, and Frank Iannamico are, as you undoubtedly know, among the best authorities on everything Thompson. I don't yet have Richardson's book. Does anyone know of a good source for Doug Richardson's book?
I agree with Grey Crow on this one. That drum looks identical to the one I have, exept it is a little cleaner.
Definetly in the $1100-$1300 range.
I remember the price is reasonable (~$20??). I am reading the two technical manuals he has written right now. The are full of excellent observations and I am sure the drum manual would be good too.
I've always heard that polishing rare coins would dimenish their value. Why wouldn't that situation be the same for this rotor?
Great News! Based on the lettering in the pictures you provided, you have a Colt L-drum, not Worcester. It is the 3rd generation of L-drums. That increases its value. I would guess the value to be more like $1500-$1800, maybe even the $2000 that Walter quoted earlier in this thread. Pricing of these drums is highly subjective.
Bottom line is you have a really nice Colt L-drum. Congratulations! Use it in good health.
News? Although that fact was already established on January 7 when Hawk posted pics of the drum, at least now he does not have to contend with conflicting info.
Well, because that is a patina issue with coins and polishing them might erase, or fade, the markings. But even when these coins are salvaged from shipwrecks, they are carefully stripped of excess debris. The reason for nickel plating is that it is a great finish that resists rust and corrosion. Since there are no markings on a Colt nickel actuator, bolt, or rotor, how could removing tarnish hurt their form, or function? If excess debris were considered an original valuable commodity, would not then removing gun powder residue from previous firings also constitute removing valuable crud buildup?
Way to go Bid Daddy!!!
Thanks to Art, Walter, Roger, and everyone else for helping me with the drum question. I appreciate it. Here is a picture of it on the gun.
But what about the rare white lettering drums? I've only seen a few of these.

Winds reached more than 100 kilometres an hour over the weekend.
Home owners are still cleaning up after a massive windstorm swept through the valley Friday night.
At about 6:15 p.m. on Friday, July 20, a brief but destructive windstorm downed seemingly hundreds of trees, pulling down power lines and leaving some homes without power for days.
There are unconfirmed reports that winds reached 106 kilometres an hour.
According to Sally Masters, Community Relations for BC Hydro, at the peak of its aftermath, power was out to 20,000 properties in Cranbrook, Kimberley, Fernie, Sparwood and the surrounding areas. There were 3,000 customers affected in Fernie and 50 in Sparwood. Customers in Elkford were not affected at all.
Additional crews from the Okanagan and Invermere were dispatched to assist with restoration work in all of the areas, and some crews worked 16-hour days.
By Sunday afternoon, BC Hydro was on its third day of work to restore power to 3,800 properties that were still experiencing an outage.
Many customers were unaware of how long they would be without power.
"BC Hydro tries to provide an accurate time estimation of when the power will be back on," said Masters. "Sometimes we can bypass a problem and restore power sooner than expected. In other cases, the cause of the power outage may be difficult to locate or access so the repair may take longer than estimated.
Masters said there were still "a handful" of customers in the Elk Valley without power Sunday night, but all had power returned by Monday morning.
Just as many properties were finally getting their power returned, a second windstorm, of less severity, swept through on Sunday night, leaving 700 customers in Fernie without power until Monday night.
There are many downed power lines in the areas affected. BC Hydro would like to remind the public to keep at least 10 metres (33 feet) away from any power line or any object in contact with a power line. To report a downed power line or an object in contact with a power line, please call 1-888 POWERON (1 888 769-3766).

Neighbors, politicians turn out for Flood Park re-opening today
by Linda Hubbard Gulker on November 12, 2011
Two California Assemblymen and one very committed volunteer were among those on hand at noon today to formally re-open Flood Park, which has been shuttered for the past 13 months. The local Assemblymen — Rich Gordon and Jerry Hill — presented Friends of Flood Park president and Menlo Park resident Kristen Cox with a proclamation of thanks for her and other Friends' efforts in working with the County of San Mateo to help ensure the Park's future.
Gordon provided some historical perspective on the Park, telling the assembled crowd of Park enthusiasts that Flood was the second park in the County's park system, one that was built by WPA workers during the 1930s.
"When it first opened, it had a swimming pool," he said, noting that the pool closed during the 1970s. "But I remember it well because I learned to swim here!"
Gordon concluded by saying that today could mark the turning point for the "jewel of the county's parks" and set the "next stage in the history of Flood Park."
In addition to the ribbon cutting ceremony, there were three food trucks available for people to buy lunch and a scavenger hunt for the kids, most of whom quickly found their way to the newly-cleaned playground equipment, thanks to the Friends of Flood Park. On hand to provide the entertainment was the Mariachi Cardenal de Stanford, many of whom said they were planning to shed their band uniforms in time to attend today's big game against Oregon.
San Mateo County has made budget adjustments to provide funding for Flood Park through June 30, 2012. During those six months, Friends of Flood Park hopes to raise $250,000 from the local community to cover the remaining Park maintenance costs for the rest of the year. The Friends' long term plan is to create an endowment to provide ongoing support for the Park with the intention of preventing future Park closures. Donations can be sent to: Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Friends of Flood Park Fund, Attention: Gifts Administration, 2440 West El Camino Real, Suite 300, Mountain View, CA 94040.
