Pizza Gift Set
The Pizza Prep Station consists of an acacia base on which a 13" ceramic pizza stone sits. Three ceramic dishes, which can be filled with various sauces and pizza toppings, sit conveniently atop the base. Place your pizza dough on the stone, garnish it, then transfer the pizza stone to your pre-heated oven to bake. When the pizza is done, use the acacia pizza peel to remove the pizza from the stone in the oven, let the pizza cool, then use the acacia pizza cutter, located in the side of the base, to slice up your masterpiece.

Portable Reclining Chair
The Ventura Seat is a portable recreational recliner with armrests and adjustable backpack straps you can take just about anywhere. Armrests mean comfort for some of us and the Ventura Seat won't disappoint. In addition, it's filled with high-density PU foam which provides the firmness you need to prevent aches in your back and bottom. If you prefer a wider seat over armrests, you can invert the armrests to increase the width of the seat to 20 inches. Six backrest positions offer a range of comfort possibilities, and adjustable backpack straps accommodate people of all heights. The Ventura Seat is great for the beach, pool, picnics, spectator sports or for dorm living and video gaming.

Amanda started offering wedding films to couples as part of Tim Simpson Photography. Using the same camera that she uses for photography she started creating 3-4 min highlight wedding films covering the entire day. She loves editing the clips to tell the story of the day and can be found playing with effects to get the look just right. In her free time her passions are music, chocolate and walking. She also likes adventure sports and is currently training for a triathlon.

Ojai Valley School is one of the few equestrian boarding schools in California with stables on campus, allowing middle and high school students to walk from class to the barn to ride nearly every afternoon, in place of sports or P.E. Students find numerous opportunities to improve their riding skills in a program that emphasizes athleticism, horsemanship, patience, compassion, perseverance, and hard work.
Students begin riding in prekindergarten and continue riding once a week through third grade. They then have the option to continue riding in place of P.E. or a sport through 12th grade.
As a United States Pony Club Riding Center, OVS gives students the opportunity to earn their Pony Club certification, as well as to ride with the OVS Competitive Team. With a highly experienced staff and barns and arenas at both our Lower Campus (PK-8th grade) and Upper Campus (9th-12th grade), OVS welcomes students of all skill levels.

GADGETWISE; Snapseed, a Powerful Photo-Editing App for the iPad
By ROY FURCHGOTT
Published: July 14, 2011
The iPad may have a so-so camera, but it has some first class photo-editing software.
Nik Software, known mostly for its plug-ins, software tools that enhance Photoshop, has its own iPad app, which brings some powerful photo manipulation to the tablet for a reasonable $5.
Called Snapseed, the app has the expected features, like auto-correct, cropping, contrast, brightness and saturation adjustments. It also has a very handy white balance adjustment that lets you take the unwanted tint out of a photo.
The fanciest feature is ''selective adjust,'' which lets you choose a section of a photo and apply effects and filters selectively to that area only. It's a great way to fix an overexposed patch of background or even out some spotty lighting.
It is fairly easy to use, too: you choose a filter by running a finger up or down the screen, then choose how much to apply by moving your finger left or right. Instructions pop up on an overlay when you open features the first time. From the help menu you can make those directions visible again, or see video tutorials.
Besides the photo touch-up tools, there are creative filters as well, which let you take photos to black and white or add tint, textures, vignetting or borders.
Finished photos can be printed or shared by e-mail, or on Flickr and Facebook right from the app.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

A new single set of standards promoting excellence and patient safety has been launched by the GMC.
The standards cover both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education and are designed to put patient safety, quality of care, and fairness at the heart of the training received by both medical students and doctors.
It also makes the roles and responsibilities of organisations delivering medical education clearer as well as the requirements for teaching, supervision and support.
To meet the GMC's standards, organisations will need to demonstrate they have a culture where concerns about patient safety and standards of care or training can be raised without fear of adverse consequences.
The standards also highlight the importance of leadership and governance, ensuring those providing medical education are accountable for the quality of training they provide.
Niall Dickson, Chief Executive of the GMC, said: "This is about putting safety and quality of patient care at the core of medical education.
"These new standards should provide all doctors in training and medical students with assurance that they will be supported.
"We know that the environment in which doctors and students are trained influences how they learn and how they subsequently apply the appropriate professional values, skills and behaviours. We want these new standards to make sure that doctors in training are valued and supported so they are able to gain the right experience to provide safe, effective and compassionate care for their patients."
The new standards were developed with input from a wide range of organisations and individuals interested in medical education and training following a public consultation earlier in 2015.
Promoting excellence: standards for medical education and training, published today will mean that organisations will now only be responsible for delivering one set of standards which reduces the burden on medical education and training providers.
The new document replaces current GMC standards set out in Tomorrows Doctors (aimed at medical students) and The Trainee Doctor (aimed at postgraduate doctors in training) and comes into effect on 1st January 2016.
