From Mike Chang
ISSA Certified Personal Trainer
Your Six Pack Abs Coach
Hey man,
In this letter I want to tell you about the system that I've used to get into great shape, and which has worked for many other guys as well. But first, I want to ask you a few important questions. Please answer them to yourself, as honestly as you possibly can.
- Have you ever felt hesitant or slightly embarrassed to
take your shirt off at the beach or pool? Even though you're not "fat"
or "obese"...do you ever wish you had tastefully muscular abs that
you'd be proud to show?
- Have you ever done tons of crunches and sit-ups...only
to be discouraged by how little visible difference they made in your
- Have you tried everything to lose that stubborn belly
fat, but haven't found something that's worked for you?
- Do you ever get frustrated by the contradictory and
sometimes flat-out wrong fitness information out there on the internet?
Do you ever get confused by this information overload – and you don't
know where to begin getting abs?
- Or like many of my other clients, do you have a firm grasp on how to gain muscle on the rest of your body...but getting six pack abs has STILL eluded you?
If you answered "YES!" to any of these questions, you're not alone. These were the biggest frustrations that I had myself when trying to get abs. And if you want to know the solution for getting six pack abs that worked for me and many other guys, this may be the most important letter you've ever read.

How I Finally Got Six Pack Abs...
After YEARS Of Failure And Frustration
Most people assume that I always had six pack abs – that I was just born this way.
But the truth is, just six years ago I was downright fat.
In fact, here's what I used to look like -- compared to what I look like now:
I always seemed to be chubby "nice guy friend," who could never get
And the snide looks and remarks I'd get from my male friends about my "gut" didn't help too much either...
One day, I just got fed up with not liking my body. And I decided that I was going to get six pack abs – no matter what.
Years later, I'd look back on this as the single best decision I'd ever made in my life.
So I bought some of the most popular books and courses on ab exercises, and diets. I followed them religiously for YEARS...but I was frustrated because I was seeing virtually NO RESULTS in my abs. Here are just a few of the things I tried attempting to get abs...
- This is embarrassing for me to admit, but the first product
I bought
trying to get abs was an "Ab Rocker" gizmo that I saw advertised on a
late-night informercial. I used it daily for months, but in the end
gave it up because it produced zero visible difference in my abs
- I bought endless supplements that promised they'd "burn
body fat" and
"pack muscle on my body." Although these didn't help me burn any fat,
they were successful at burning all the cash out of my wallet.
- Endless books and courses on how to get abs. Some of the information in these was actually good, and helped me out. But it also led to "information overload"... there were so many contradictory theories on how to get abs out there, I got confused and didn't know where to begin.
It was incredibly frustrating, and I almost gave up many times.
But things finally started to look up for me when...
I Found A Fitness Mentor Who Showed Me Exactly How To Get A Toned, Muscular Body Complete With Six Pack Abs
When I was my lowest point, almost ready to quit...I met my friend
Zach. Zach had the type of physique that turned heads wherever he went
–and an incredible set of six pack abs.
But the funny thing about Zach was that he actually worked out LESS than me. Of course his workouts were intense, and designed very carefully...but he wasn't spending hours upon hours in the gym like me. Not only this, but he was nowhere near as restrictive on his
Of course he would eat healthy generally, and wouldn't binge on junk food. But he'd also enjoy food in ways I didn't dare to – he'd drink beer on weekends, would eat dessert if he wanted to, and generally didn't seem to stress about his diet too much.
So of course I had to ask him...what was his secret? Why was he in so much better shape than me, when I was working so much harder than him?
I told him about the diet I was following and all the different crunches and ab exercises I was doing. And to my surprise...
He Told Me I Was Wasting My Time!Here are just a few of the things he told me I was doing wrong...
- Doing too many crunches
and sit-ups (he explained why these
popular exercises were exercises were extremely ineffective, and the
much more effective type of exercise I should be doing instead.)
- Taking the wrong approach
to dieting (he showed me that a
much better way was to use certain techniques to accelerate your
metabolism. I actually didn't even know this was possible...but he
showed me an easy and research-proven way to do it. He told me this was
why he could eat much more than I did, and still stay very lean).
- Doing CARDIO (This was really surprising to me...but Zach explained how cardio is actually an extremely ineffective way to lose fat. He showed me exercises that were much better for fat loss, and explained how when you combined these with his metabolic accleration techniques, the results would be fast and dramatic)
And that was just the beginning. The conversation I had with him really
blew my mind, and caused me to drastically change my approach to ab
So I started training in Zach's style. I stopped doing crunches and cardio, and I started doing the exercises he recommended. And once I started down the right path, I also made a few more key discoveries on my own.
Now keep in mind, I'd been training for YEARS before this, with virtually nothing to show for it. But once I started using Zach's method for getting six pack abs...
I Got In Great Shape Faster
Than I Thought Was Possible!
I couldn't believe how fast the progress was, once I stopped being a
And let me tell you....the first time I saw real, hard ab muscle on my stomach after years of seeing nothing but flab there...it was one of the best moments of my life.
And of course, what Zach showed me wasn't a "magic pill." It was a new style of training that was far more effective than that standard regimen I was following -- and a new nutrition system that made healthy eating much easier. And although I still needed to work to get abs using his system -- the results came FAR faster and easier than they came before.
And here are a few ways that my life changed after getting six pack abs....
- Women who wouldn't give me the time of day before
suddenly started giving me much more attention. It used to be
incredibly difficult for me to attract a woman before...but with my new
body, it became easy for me to spark
instant and powerful attraction
with the girls I'd always wanted.
- Guys who'd never taken me
seriously suddenly
started giving me much more respect. A few guys even seemed
intimidated by me, and it seemed much more natural for me to be the
leader in any group of guys.
- And overall, I just felt much better about myself. I felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment, because I'd achieved the body that all men want, but which so few know how to get.
And again, I don't mean to say that all the problems in my life were
instantly solved once I got a great body -- because they weren't. But I
will say that life becomes a whole lot easier when you've got the body
all the girls want, and all the guys want to have.
And I wasn't torturing myself to get these results either. I was just doing quick 30 minute workouts 4 days a week, and eating healthy (but great-tasting) food.
It was absolutely incredible. And I knew I wanted to help other guys achieve the same results. So I did something crazy...
I Quit My Office Job, And Became
A Personal Trainer!
Over the next few years I trained hundreds of clients. At first, I
started training anyone and everyone, just like any other personal
But I soon became best known for my system for getting guys six pack abs. I was soon getting many clients referred to me, asking specifically to learn my six pack abs system.
Soon, this became my specialty. My clients started referring to me as their "six pack abs coach" – the guy they went to get abs when everyone else had failed them.
And over the years, I kept refining the system, until eventually it made what I was doing originally seem primitive by comparison. After years of seeing what worked and what didn't in my own body, and with my clients, I had finally cracked the code to getting six pack abs.
Eventually, one of my clients started telling me that I should put out a video course teaching my six pack abs system. It wasn't right, they told me, that only people who lived in my city would be able to learn these techniques. ANY guy who wanted to learn how to get six pack abs should have access to this information, and shouldn't have to waste years of time before finally discovering what works.
At first, I didn't want to do it. But after a lot of wrangling and arm-twisting from my top clients, I finally agreed to make the course.
But I didn't want it to be just any ab training course. I wanted it to be the best – the one that showed exactly how to use all of the "shortcuts" to getting six pack abs that I'd been teaching my clients, in a simple and easy to learn way that any guy could follow.
And this is how Six Pack Shortcuts was born.
Six Pack Shortcuts is a series of online videos that show you how to burn belly fat and get six pack abs. It's the same system that I've taught to my live training clients for years – only it's available to you instantly, and at a fraction of the cost.

I was browsing online one day and came across Mike's six pack site and told myself "what the hell, I tried everything else I could think of" Well, pictures don't lie -- you can see what my body and my abs looked like at the end of the program.

Just like everybody else, those were my best years as far as the way my physique looked. As time went by, I felt to busy to exercise and my waistline expanded. Every year, my gut got a little bigger.
Thanks to Six Pack Shortcuts and to you Mike, I'm back down to football playing shape. One of my main goals with the program was to reduce my waistline and to see ab definition. You can see how my abs looked at the end of the program from the picture, and I was very satisfied with the reduction in my waistline as well.
Thanks again Mike."

How Is Six Pack Shortcuts Different From Everything Else Out There?One thing you should know -- this program is EXTREMELY different than most fitness and diet programs. Here are the most important differences:
- Six Pack Shortcuts was
personally designed by me. I'm an ISSA certified personal
trainer, with years of experience training clients in the real world.
And as you've seen in my pictures, I've also managed to achieve a great
physique and six pack abs myself -- unlike many other people selling
exercise courses.
- Most fitness programs give
you dozens of different habits and changes in your lifestyle, which
you're expected to make all at the same time. Six Pack Shortcuts, on
the other
hand, gives you just TWO or THREE key habits to learn in each phase of
the program.
What does that mean for you? Less
confusion, an easier time
implementing what you learn, and
ultimately increased chances of success with the program.
- Six Pack Shortcuts is delivered through a series of
entertaining, yet informative online videos. You can download the
videos permanently to your computer, or stream them online from
anywhere in the world. This means no
slogging through 300 pages of
boring text or hours of lecture. It also means that you'll get access
to the videos INSTANTLY – no waiting around for weeks for something to
get shipped to you.
- Six Pack Shortcuts teaches you everything you need to know
about both exercise and
nutrition for getting six pack abs. It's a complete guide to getting abs -- you
won't have to buy anything
- And most importantly: Six Pack Shortcuts includes unlimited email support from me personally, and unlimited phone support from certified personal trainers on my team. Most fitness products just give you a bunch of information, and you're left on your own as to exactly how to apply it. I give you the information and knowledge you need, AND I mentor and support you every step of the way.
Here are some of the specifics that you'll be learning in the program...
Here's What You'll Be Getting When You Sign Up For Six Pack Shortcuts
- 27 of my BEST workouts
-- I've specially designed 27 workouts which I've found to be the best
for getting my clients in shape fast. These workouts are short (only
20-30 minutes each), but very INTENSE. Many clients have told me that
after the very first workout, they knew that these were the most
effective exercises they'd ever done in their life.
You'll get a workout quick-start guide, which includes all the exercises you need for the program. You can take this to the gym with you, and use it to track your progress with the program.
- Killer bodyweight
exercises and high-intensity cardio -- I've also included 31
different bodyweight exercises in the program, which can be done at
home with no equipment. Some of these bodyweight exercises are
EXCELLENT for building muscle mass and strength (even better than
exercises requiring complex gym equipment!) But the reason why I use
most of these exercises is for rapid fat loss, and to build athleticism
and functional strength.
This is because I don't want your body to be "just for show." I want you to be functionally athletic as well -- not just good-looking. These bodyweight exercises will help you to develop better sports performance, or to just be stronger and have more endurance when doing everyday tasks. I've also found that women really appreciate functional strength as well!
- 17 awesome ab exercises to
define your core. As I mentioned before, there is more to
getting abs than just doing ab exercises. You'll need to lose your
belly fat before your ab muscle will be visible. But once you have lost
this fat using the total body exercises in my program, my arsenal of 17
direct ab exercises will really help you define your core.
I've personally found these exercises to be much more effective than standard crunches and sit-ups. And, I've also found them to be much safer, because they don't place as much strain on your neck and lower back.
- Advanced muscle building
and fat loss theory -- You'll learn the PRINCIPLES behind muscle
building and fat loss, not just be given a bunch of workouts. This will
allow you to intelligently customize the program to your own unique
needs, lifestyle and desired physique. You'll also be able to avoid
many of the common mistakes that guys make when trying to get in shape,
so you'll save a lot of time and wasted effort in the gym.
- And most importantly --
unlimited email support from me personally, and unlimited phone support
from certified personal trainers on my team. I feel that this is
one of the MOST important factors that sets Six Pack Shortcuts apart
from all other exercise and nutrition programs.
Of course, I feel that the information in the course is the best out there. But I'll be honest with you -- for the average person, your chances of success are MINIMAL with information and knowledge alone, even if the knowledge is top-notch. The reason for this is that it's very hard to stick with a program if you have no one to support, mentor and coach you.
With Six Pack Shortcuts, I'll be by your side every step of the way. I'll personally answer any questions that you have about the program through email. I'll even work with you to customize the workouts to your individual body type and goals. And if you'd like to talk to someone on the phone, the program also includes unlimited phone coaching from certified personal trainers on my team. They'll coach you and work to keep you on track with the program to give you the maximum chance of success.
All the videos can be either streamed or downloaded permanently to your computer. This means that you can watch the videos from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. You can also download them all to your hard drive, so you can watch them even when you're not connected. The videos are downloadable in .mp4 format, which means that they'll play on any computer with a standard media player.
You can also download the videos to your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Android or pretty much any other mobile device. The videos are compatible with these devices, so they'll be no problem playing them. This means you can bring the videos with you to the gym, and do the workouts along with me. Many of my clients follow the program with a mobile device this way, and they tell me it's great to have videos showing them exactly what to do right there at the gym.
I've also invested in top-of-the-line hosting services for these videos. This means that the site will be very reliable for you, and the videos will stream and download FAST.
The program is designed to get you started FAST, without having to learn a bunch of theory. You can get started doing the first workout within 30 minutes. This is because I believe it's critcial to take action right away if you want to get in great shape.
But it's also designed to be very in-depth and to give you a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of exericse and nutrition. The core program includes over 11 hours of professionally produced, high definition video footage featuring me and other certified personal trainers on my team.
And You'll Also Get Two Bonuses – FREE With Your Purchase!In just Six Pack Shortcuts alone, you'll be getting thousands of dollars worth of video training. It's far more detailed and in-depth than any other product on how to get abs.
But to really make it a no brainer for you, I also want to give you two incredibly valuable bonuses, included free with your purchase. These will complement what you'll learn in Six Pack Shortcuts, and really take your physique to the next level.
These aren't the usual cheesy three page report "bonuses" you usually get with fitness products. These are complete products that I sell independently for $67-$149 to my live training clients. And you'll get them free with your purchase.
- First, you'll be getting
the Zero Willpower Eating System. This is my complete nutrition
system that shows you everything you need to know about nutrition and
eating to get into great shape. The goal of the system is to make
healthy eating SIMPLE, and to make it require as little willpower as
The program contains over 6 hours of professionally produced, high definition footage. I show you exactly how you'll need to eat to get into shape, and give you a few simple rules to follow with your nutrition. And it's not just theory -- I actually take you into the kitchen, and SHOW you how to prepare great-tasting, healthy food.
The reason why this system works so well for me, and for many of my clients is that it's very CHEAP, and very CONVENIENT. You won't have to buy any expensive health foods, and the foods I recommend in the system are very inexpensive. Most of my clients find they save over $100/month on food, just by following the system. And I also show you hwo to prepare a WEEK'S worth of healhy food, in under 90 minutes. This way, you'll always have a nutritious and tasty meal ready to go whenever you're hungry, and you'll just have to heat it up in the microwave.
- I'm also going to
include a 30 day free trial to my 24 Week Advanced Fitness Coaching
Program. Every week, you'll get a new video showing you
high-level exercise and nutrition strategies used by pro fitness models
and athletes.
Many of these strategies are not suitable for beginners, but once you've gone through the Six Pack Shortcuts program you'll be ready for these advanced workout techniques. I show you advanced power lifting exercises that build muscle fast -- these are INTENSE, and definitely not for the faint of heart. I also show you the nutrition strategies that fitness models use to lose fat fast. Again, these techniques are NOT recommended for beginners who have not yet been through the Six Pack Shortcuts program. But once you have, the Advanced Fitness Coaching videos will really help you take your physique to the next level.
You'll get a full 30 days to try the program out at no cost. If you decide it's not for you, it's just two easy clicks to cancel anytime. And even if you cancel, you can get the first month's worth of videos for free, just for giving it a try.
If you decide you want to keep it, you'll keep getting the new videos each week, and you'll be automatically billed just $67/month for the coaching until you cancel. This is far less than the cost of a high-level personal trainer who knows these techniques. And I'm sure that you'll think it's a STEAL once you see for yourself the quality of training you'll be getting.
"OK, Sign Me Up To Get Six Pack Abs! But How Much Is This Going To Cost Me?"I sell Six Pack Shortcuts to my live training clients for $297. And they consider this a bargain, because it contains over 14 hours of high quality video training from me personally. Since my training rate is $137 per hour, they're getting the information much cheaper than if they'd paid to learn it from me live.
Not only this, but it's also far more convenient – since you can watch the videos anytime you want, and you don't have to abide by my schedule.
So for $297, you get access to my complete system for getting ripped six pack abs, and all the bonuses.
Although I've been training guys live for many years, I just launched the internet side of my business. The most important thing for me now is to establish a group of HIGHLY MOTIVATED clients who will achieve spectacular results. This is because I know that if you get six pack abs with this program, you'll tell EVERYONE about it.
This is how I built my live training business, and this is how I want to grow Six Pack Shortcuts as well.
So for a limited time, I'm offering you the "online-only" price of just $97.
That's over 50% off what my live clients are paying, and a steal compared to the value of the program.
But there is a catch.
In return for this low price, you have to promise to tell EVERYONE that you know about Six Pack Shortcuts once you get your abs. This way you can get a great deal, and it's fair to me as well.
I urge you to ACT NOW, and to sign up to get six pack abs.
Don't Decide Now – Try Six Pack Shortcuts At My Risk For 60 DaysI know this is the program that can help you get in great shape. In fact, I'm so confident that this is the program you need I'm willing to do something a little CRAZY...
If you decide to sign up for Six Pack Shortcuts, I'll let you test out the program at MY RISK for 60 days. Watch all the videos, read all the reports, and start applying what I teach you.
I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied with this program. But if you aren't – you can return the program at any time for a no hassles, no questions asked 100% refund.
If you're not absolutely blown away by the quality of the product, just send me an email with "refund" in the subject line and I'll cheerfully give you your money back.
The reason why I can make such a killer guarantee is that I KNOW that this program is going to be what you need to get in shape. And I want you to be just as certain before you sign up.
I truly want to help you get the abs you've always wanted. I get emails every day from guys who have used my training materials to get into great shape, and I want to help you do that as well.

"I Can See This Program Is Working For Lots Of Other Guys. But How Do I Know It Will Work For Me?"First, unlike many other fitness programs, Six Pack Shortcuts was designed with a very specific client in mind. Six Pack Shortcuts is optimum for men who are in "OK" shape – who don't yet have six pack abs, but who also are not severely obese. If you already have ab definition, or if you are obese this probably isn't the best program for you. But if you're a guy who's in OK shape, then this program is specifically designed for your needs.
Because I had YOU specifically in mind when I designed the program, you'll find that it's exactly suited to your needs.
Secondly, I'm committed to doing EVERYTHING I have to ensure your success. If for some reason you're having a problem that the videos don't cover, remember that free phone and email coaching from me personally is included with Six Pack Shortcuts. I will personally walk you through any issues you're facing on the phone, or through email. I'll spend however long it takes to make you successful – THAT is how committed I am to your success.
Now, I'm legally obligated to tell you that I'm not a doctor, and that I can't guarantee your results with this program. But remember that if you don't get a ripped body six pack abs with this program – or if for any other reason you're not happy with it – you don't have to pay. I offer a 100% no questions asked money back guarantee, anytime within 60 days of your purchase. I'm willing to put my neck on the line like this because I am confident that this program is going to be ideal for you, specifically.
"The Six Pack Abs Magic Moment"
It's magic because when it happens, you'll see incredible changes happening in your body, and they'll be happening so fast you'll hardly believe it.
You find yourself awed by what's happening to you. You stop what you're doing, feel a weight lift from your shoulders...and smile.
Why? Two reasons. First, any skepticism and doubt that you CAN achieve great abs melts away and disappears.
And second, maybe for the first time ever, you see an incredibly bright future unfolding ahead of you.
Your magic moment might happen when you're out with a woman...and she touches your abs, and feels nothing but a rock hard layer of muscle. And you can see her positively GLOWING with sexual attraction, and with admiration for you...
Or maybe it will happen when you're hanging out with your boys...and they start grilling YOU for advice on how to get in shape, because they look up to you so much for the transformation you made in your body.
Or maybe it will just happen when you're looking at yourself in the mirror...and for the very first time, you see real, defined ab muscle where you previously saw only flab. And you're flooded with a powerful rush of self-respect and well-being, because you were able to get the abs that all guys want, but which so few know how to get.
I want you to experience YOUR magic moment. To transform your body into what you've always visualized and wanted for yourself – and to get the amazing, exciting life that comes along with that.
And now it's up to you to make it happen.
Don't let another day go by. Make the decision right now to create this new life for yourself… and don't let anything stop you from achieving your dreams.
It's time.

Here's How Six Pack Shortcuts Works
In Phase 1, we focus on building total body muscle mass. You'll be doing full-body workouts designed to put overall size and muscularity on your body. We also focus on developing a a few positive exercise habits during this phase. You'll get in the habit of doing short workouts consistently, every week. You'll also get in the habit of preparing seven healthy meals at the beginning of each week, and eating one healthy pre-prepared meal per day. The workouts in this phase are shorter, easier, and less intense. This is because it is important to condition your body before doing extremely intense workouts, and to ensure the workouts are realistic to stick to if you are just beginning to exercise.
In Phase 2, we focus on total body fat loss. Of course, much of the fat lost will be in your abdominal area, and this will later help with your goal of getting ab definition. In this Phase, you will begin doing more high intensity cardiovascular exercise designed to accelerate fat loss and build functional strength. You will also be reducing your rest times when doing weight training, in order to achieve an aerobic exercise effect and burn more calories and fat. Finally, we will be focusing on eating three healthy pre-prepared meals per day in this Phase. The focus is on maintaining your strength and muscle mass in this phase, while losing fat. These habits together will help you to achieve the caloric deficit which is necessary to achieve this goal.
In Phase 3, we focus on building your core muscle and breaking through "exercise plateaus." The workouts in this phase are MUCH more intense than in previous phases. If you have been following the program in Phase 1 and 2 though, your body will now be ready for this type of extremely challenging workout. The focus in this phase is on heavy, compound weight training that engages your entire body. Squats, dead lifts, power cleans, military presses, and many other heavy, compound lifts are heavily utilized in this phase. The goal in this phase is to "shock" your muscles into further growth. These exercises also build an extremely strong core, and muscle mass on your abdominals. This will tremendously benefit you in Phase 4 where we focus on shedding the last few pounds of fat, so that your abdominal muscle is visible.
In Phase 4, we focus on the losing the last few pounds of fat necessary to achieve the "six pack abs" look. This is also the "maintenance phase" -- you will be repeating this phase permanently in order to maintain your abs. In this Phase we focus on full implementation of the eating system -- you will now be eating five healthy pre-prepared meals per day. We also teach advanced fat loss strategies in this phase. These are not necessary for beginners, but will tremendously help you to achieve the low body fat percentage that is necessary for six pack abs. Finally, you will be given ten different workouts in this phase. This is to ensure your workouts always stay fresh and interesting, since you will be doing this phase permanently to maintain your body. The workouts in this phase focus on maintaining your total body muscle mass, while also adding the final details to your physique. You will be using more isolation exercises in this phase, since your experience with exercise will now make them valuable.
Expected time commitment for each phase: For each phase, you will be expected to study 2-3 hours of video material before beginning. Dan and I explain the goals and focus of each phase first, and teach you the concepts you need to know to be successful. Then we actually take you into the gym, and show you how to do the workouts. Finally, we take you into the kitchen and show you how to prepare your meals.
In each phase, you will be doing short workouts 4 days per week. On average these will be around 30 minutes, but it varies by Phase and by how much rest time you choose to take in your workouts. For most clients, the workouts will take around 25 minutes in Phase 1, 30 minutes in Phase 2, 45 minutes in Phase 3, and 30 minutes in Phase 4.
You should also expect to spend 60-90 minutes per week pre-cooking healthy meals. These meals will later be microwaved, so that you always have healthy food available right away.
Support Resources Available: An important part of the program is that unlimited personal support is coaching is included for all Six Pack Shortcuts clients. Clients are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this personal coaching, because I have found that it will dramatically improve your chances of success with the program.
Clients can email email@example.com, or use the form provided on the Six Pack Shortcuts members-only site to contact me personally. I respond to all emails myself, and I will give you detailed feedback on the issues you are facing and how to achieve your individual goals. I want to give you the same level of personal attention as I give my live clients, and I will work with you extensively over email to ensure you have everything you need to succeed.

Award winning organic MasterChef contestant to run Fernhill House restaurant
Fernhill House has appointed a chef with a passion for home grown organic produce and a national TV appearance under his belt to run its dining room and bistro.
Chris Williams, who has worked with Heston Blumenthal and Marco Pierre White, is looking forward to cooking for and growing vegetables with residents at Fernhill House in Fernhill Heath. He appeared on MasterChef when he was working at an organic café he set up a few years ago at Stourbridge College, which provided work placements for young adults with autism and learning difficulties.
He was, until recently, community chef at the award winning Big Lottery funded growing and cooking project, Kingstanding Food Community in Birmingham, is raring to get his teeth into the new project – and already has plans to build a pizza oven within Fernhill House's two acre grounds. He will also grow his own veg – inviting residents to help if they wish – and will be asking local schools to get involved. Chris' cooking prowess matches his community credentials.
He has been head chef and executive chef at a number of prestigious hotels, winning AA rosettes and culinary accolades aplenty over the course of his 25 year career. Chris said: "My work in Kingstanding was incredibly satisfying. I worked with families and local organisations, teaching growing and cooking skills and we used our own, home grown seasonal produce as much as possible. I enjoyed making a difference to the community by being able to inspire, enable and motivate local people to eat more healthily.
"Food is such a vital part of wellbeing. I want the residents at Fernhill House to tell me the kind of meals they enjoy. Families and friends are welcome to join whenever they wish – every day if they like – at no extra cost, so eating at Fernhill is a genuine community experience and I can't wait to start cooking."

See Lady Gaga's Crazy Performance at V Magazine NYFW Party [VIDEO]
Lady Gaga performed at a party honoring V magazine's Stephen Gan during NYFW on Sept. 7. Mother Monster's frenetic and divinely crazy performance can be viewed above. Footage of Gaga taking the stage in her seashell bikini, complete with her big, brown mermaid hair, is spliced with images of other celebs who were on site and enjoying the festivities.
In the crowd? Oh, just people like Yoko Ono, Ma Monster's ubiquitous and talented photog pal Terry Richardson, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Daphne Guinness and Gaga's own mom, Cynthia Germanotta. They were all in the hizzy, celebrating and being entertained by Gaga.
This clip is a montage of Gaga's wild and crazy performance, set to the studio version of 'Applause,' all sewn together in one not-so-tidy package, as opposed to a single or chronological clip of a performance of a song.
"On the cover of your magazine, I am always given a place to shine," a breathless Gaga declared at the end of the footage, thanking Gan, the founder of V, for his continued support of her.

yo. i have spoken to a few folk in forest records. i have.
myself and maybe 12 other musical artists have formed a thing called little lamp records. its like saying we are a record label and then homegrowing our own records. our first release is nearly ready in thatwe have nearly got all the track listings. it will be a cd full or songs. like 20. it will be good. we will hand make/screen print/strencil all the covers.
then the artists featured on the cd buy them from us at cost price. and sell them for there own money. its like a sampler. the small time artists make small moneys. people hear them at gigs, dig them, buy a cd for cheap (£3/4). it is then brimming with music and the poeple dig it and come to other gigs/ know other cool shit. its also about getting our home recordings heard.
we would like as much support as forest will give for this.
1)can we use (particulaly if i buy it (some one pm the place to get it from)) the multitrack cd burner.
2) we would like to use the cd printer.
3) we would like some moneyso as the cd can be mastered (around £50? maybe more less, the more money the more time spent on it = it sounds better)
4)we are more than happy to make it a forest records official release. that is infact cooler. forest can sell it and make the fucking money off it.
5) we will have a sweet launch party at forest with loads of sweet acts.
i feel forest should support this as much as possible as it is good and forest is good and in doing so will hopefully draw in some of my friends/other artisits to the forest sweet honey hive.
dig artists like (i love you too gorman)
http://www.myspace.com/jamesmclark (check "the ship that sailed")
many more cool shit also
if you want me to give you a cd of this i will.but i wait for the last few track listings to a come come my p.c

Illegal music downloading is more than just a problem for the music industry. Parents need to get involved too.by Lindy Keffer
It's like when the CD made the cassette tape obsolete — only it might be an even bigger overthrow.
The rise of the digital music format, with single-song tracks that can be uploaded, downloaded, e-mailed, burned and shuffled from player to player is turning the music industry upside down. Compact disc sales experienced a 10 percent drop in 2006.1 Seventy percent of legal music downloads2 and almost a quarter of all music3 sold in the US are now purchased through the iTunes Web site.
If you've even been near a music-loving teenager lately, it won't surprise you to hear that Apple has the undisputed corner on the market for digital media players as well, with the iPod accounting for a whopping 51 percent of devices shipped in 2006 — compared to SanDisk, whose players came in second with just 10 percent of the market.4
A new development in the industry is the sale of tunes without protective code (called DRM) imbedded. In the past, iTunes' DRM has prevented its songs from being played on any non-Apple player, but now that Web site and others are beginning to sell DRM-free files. Competitors hope that the tactic will give them a market foothold.5
One of the ongoing controversies created by the advent of digital media is the question of how users get their music and video files. From the beginning, illegal file acquisition through peer-to-peer (or p2p) file-sharing services has been an enormous headache for the music industry. Obviously, they would prefer that consumers pay for their music.
The good news is that the development of easy-to-use legal download services has increased legal downloading. Estimates for 2007 show the number of legal downloaders surpassing the number of illegal downloaders for the first time.6
On the down side, it seems that those who download media illegally do so in high volumes. Five billion songs were illegally downloaded in 2006, as opposed to 5 million legal ones.7 Popular sites for illegal downloading are LimeWire.com, Kazaa.com and BitTorrent.com. All of those force users to sign an agreement not to violate copyright laws — which some users then ignore once they're logged in.
Parents of young downloaders would do well to talk with their children and teens about the ethics involved in acquiring media files. In addition, illegal downloaders now have more to worry about than a guilty conscience. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is cracking down on illegal file sharing. The RIAA has filed more than 26,000 lawsuits since 2003.8 While most are settled out of court for sums between $3,000 and $5,000,9 the first defendant to actually go to trial lost — badly — and was required to fork over $222,000. That was the penalty assessed on just 24 of the 1,702 songs the 30-year-old woman had illegally offered to share on Kazaa.com.10
The RIAA isn't just focusing on adults. The organization has also sued illegal file-sharers as young as 12 years old.11

Today POLITICO Arena asks:
Looking at the repeated failures of campaign finance reforms, is it time to end the restrictions?
My response:
Funny, we didn't hear the primal scream about campaign finance from liberal Democrats during the 2008 campaigns, when money was pouring into their coffers from everywhere. Do we need any better evidence of the hypocrisy surrounding their screams this year? If so, turn to the lead editorial in this morning's Wall Street Journal. It'll tell you all you need to know about the campaign finance "reform" ruse that has been going on for years.

Ichiro's Malt Two of Clubs - "boiled sweets"
This Ichiro has a Japanese "Mizunara" oak finish. Tossed it back on an evening out at the Argyll. Didn`t really have my tasting hat on and I am afraid my memory is a little fuzzy, so my normal warning not to take my write-ups seriously is going out cask strength on this occasion.
Unlike the similarly powerful Ichiro`s Malt 2000, this one would benefit from a few drops of water. Undiluted, the nose had a touch of blackberry. The taste was slightly astringent but could still detect the fruit: more blackberry flavoured boiled sweets at this stage. There was a lot of pretty uncompromising alcohol around, especially near the finish. Water might have been a good idea but I was too busy muscling in on my wife's glass of Ichiro's Choice Peated Golden Promise to try it. Overall, belligerent but not inelegant.
Distilled 2000
Bottled June 2007
Mizunara Japanese Oak finish
318 bottled
56 per cent
700ml - 5,500 yen

Beside on the Rakuten web shopping, where should I get Ichiro's Malt whisky (Card series)in Japan.
I am living in Taipei. Really expensive to buy in Taiwan for those cult whisky. Really cheap to buy in Japan, but most of the stocks on Rakuten has been sold out.
Jacky from Taiwan.

Sorry to suggest Rakuten despite your explicit request for a different store, but how about this place?

Exhaust Tips - Always a Good Choice!
So you wanna kick the style of your truck or SUV up a notch. Maybe your budget can't handle a performance exhaust system, or you're awesome and built your own exhaust system - either way, an exhaust tip is an inexpensive way to add a lot of stylin spunk to your truck or SUV. They look great, the install is easy and they won't break the bank.
Other variations on the Round design include Square tips, Flame-cutouts, and even exhaust tips with a Chevy Bowtie-shaped outlet.
For a spicy upgrade, take a look at our collection of double-walled tips. The double-wall design adds a smooth, refined look to your tailpipe, and the extra wall acts as a heat sink, keeping the tip cool and preventing discoloration.
Want the ultimate exhaust tip? Our awesome collection of through-the-body exhaust tips add a performance look that can't be beat. They mount to your truck or SUV's fender or roll pan and privide a stunning exit point for your exhaust gasses.
Our amazing through-the-body exhaust tips require a little cutting to install, but the results are worth it. Check out Stylin' Trucks customer Moises Quintana and his custom Chevy Tahoe. He installed a Stylin' Through-the-Body exhaust tip and loves it.

I have uploaded about a dozen new Jonas photographs. They are from the cousins in Washington State. They have been sitting in my e-mail for months now and I finally pulled them out, cataloged them, and posted them! I still have not named the rest of the European Trip photos.
I have to mention my new toy. Yesterday at Ace Hardware, my favorite place in Oklahoma City, I was looking at sprinklers. I was going to reseed some of the front and side lawns and knew I would need a good sprinkler. I don't know what overcame me, I just had to!
All those lawns I sprayed, I saw this certain type of sprinkler. I always thought they were really cool and wanted one. Additionally, if I ever had a sprinkler catch my hose or have problems, it was typically this same sprinkler. It was a love/hate relationship. My Grandma had one until she got a sprinkler system. He is one of those fancy little sprinklers that look like a miniature tractor. Their front wheel goes over the hose and the hose is a track for the sprinkler to follow. Then the water going through the sprinkler turn the little transmission so that the wheels propel it forward and it also pulls its hose behind it. They have been around since the early 60's and I think they are ingenious! With the new lawn, I would have to keep it moist for the seed to germinate and I didn't want to keep moving the sprinkler. I broke down and purchased it.
Upon returning home, I announced my new purchase. As I was a bit sheepish about the whole thing Amanda asked how much he cost. She then emphasized the point we will have to go without food for an entire week to pay for my indulgence. In the process of our laughter, I slipped and called it a sprinky instead of a sprinkler. Well, that is his new name. Every time I see him wandering the yard doing his job, I laugh and think of his name. Yep, if only purchasing a car these days brought about the same passion. Sprinky might as well be my pet. Since he is a bit more expensive and novel, Ace warned me about this, he tends to walk off. Therefore, with great pride, at the end of his watering day, I unhook him and put him in the garage on the bench, right next to the pickup. I am retaining some of those itty bitty farming roots; parking my tractor in the shed at night! Perhaps one day I will even pull out some wax for him…
As I crawled out of the crawl space, I saw him sitting there waiting patiently. I had to turn him off to enter the crawl space. The song came for the Slinky commercials. "It's Slinky, it's Slinky, it's such a wonderful toy…" Well change the name to Sprinky and it works perfectly. Now as I wander my little piece of ground, I either sing the Slinky song or the portion of "Give Said the Little Stream" where it might apply to some small part, "I'm small I know but wherever I go, The grass grows greener still." The first would be about him, the second would be his theme song. (I am laughing so hard I am crying! This is hilarious!)
On a more somber note, I have inspected the underbelly of my home. The ruling has been pronounced. The plumbing has to be replaced. One bathroom has to completely be avoided because any flow of water in the bathroom creates a flow under the home. Additionally, I have two floor joists that have twisted off their piers and a structural/foundation company has to come in and place a joist beside them to lift the home back up. Just happens to be, those two joists are beneath the other bathroom, utility closet, and hot water heater. All the plumbing there has to be moved to allow for the floor joists. Besides, what is present is a patchwork of 70 years of plumbing. I would do it myself but I have lead sewer pipes, copper running pipes, PVC for the main bathroom, and this hosing stuff for the utility closet. With such a mess and having to move it, might as well rip it out and start over. What is even worse, I have pipes still connected to other pipes that are so corroded they are sawed off, but still connected to water pressure! Did I mention our cold and hot water to the washer leaks so bad the pipe looks like a rust pillar?
The next pronouncement is more happy. The termite damage as a whole can be confined to two parallel boards in the subfloor of the home. My impression was I had whole floor joists that were missing from termites. Not true! I have termite damage in the subfloor, very little in the hard wood floors, and in the 2X4's at the base of the NW and SE corners of the home. We will start a termite treatment and all should be well. While I do have sagging in the NW corner of the home it is not from termites. So when I have the floor joists fixed, they will also jack up the NW corner of the home and we will be good to go. The sagging that was experienced in the home is from poor construction, not termites. Initially there were 20 foot expanses of floor with only a 2X6. No wonder the rooms were all sagging! As part of the closing, those sagging floors were fixed. Why the twisted beams were not corrected, as per the contract, will be discussed with the owner of the company this coming Monday. I do have another company coming in to give us a bid for the remainder of the work, as well as plumbers for the plumbing. All in all, our little home's underbelly should be good to go after about $5,000. That hurts, I don't like it, but it has to be done.
The part that will hurt the worst is the home was redecorated with the sagging foundation and floors. Jacking up those two parts of the home will definitely show some cracking and need fixed, as will replacing our plumbing in the walls. Those expenses I can fix and pay for later. I am sure the tile floor in the bathroom will need serious fixing as well as the new shower and sink in that bathroom.
Anyhow, enough of our home woes. This home will be set for the millennium when I am done with it. Now, like waiting for water to boil, just waiting for that grass to grow with Sprinky's tender care.

GOP climate strategy: Focus on jobs
Republican leaders have a clear strategy for combating President Barack Obama's climate agenda: Don't talk about the science.
Just as top Republicans have called for their party to rebrand itself by avoiding rhetoric that alienates minorities, young voters and women, key GOP lawmakers are trying to stay out of the long-running debate about whether global warming is real — a discussion that has often included biblical references or claims that scientists are committing a giant hoax.
Story Continued Below
Instead, Republicans want to hit Obama where they're convinced he's most vulnerable: fears that his climate policies will destroy jobs and make energy prices skyrocket.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP options on climate limited)
"I think you have to focus on the American economy," said Sen. John Barrasso, the fourth-ranking Senate Republican, while responding Wednesday to a reporter's question about climate science. "The costs of the regulations are real. And the benefits are unknown."
House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) similarly danced around a science question Wednesday during a question-and-answer session with reporters.
"Well, our argument with the president right now is he's picking winners and losers, he's harming innovation and there's going to be a direct assault" on jobs, McCarthy said when asked whether Republicans want to debate climate science.
The jobs-centric rhetoric is no accident, GOP consultant Mike McKenna said — although he noted that many Republicans won't go along with that approach.
"This is a strategy that leadership wants to take, leadership wants to take, especially in the House," McKenna said. "Rank and file are perfectly willing to talk about the underlying science."
And so are Democrats like Obama, who are eager to paint Republicans as the anti-science party. "We don't have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society," the president said Tuesday during his climate policy address at Georgetown University.
A day later, Barrasso rebutted Obama by turning to jobs.
"He kind of talked about the Flat Earth Society," the Wyoming senator said. "You know, we have a very flat economy and it's because of the president's unwillingness to help us create jobs in this country."
Of course, not every Republican seems to have gotten the memo.
Case in point: Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), perhaps the leading critic of climate change science in Congress, took to the Senate floor this week to challenge Obama's climate proposals as well as the entire notion that the Earth is warming. In a speech Wednesday he cited the "Climategate" controversy, which involved conservatives' accusations that scientists around the world are falsifying their research to make it appear that temperatures are rising.
At a hearing last week, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) challenged Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz on the idea that the globe is warming, with the lawmaker contending that "the temperature has stayed steady for 16 years now."
"That's in dispute," countered Moniz, a nuclear physicist and a former energy lab director at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Indeed, data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show an overall trend of rising temperatures. In January, NOAA reported that 2012 had been the warmest year on record in the lower 48 states, and that globally it was the 10th-warmest since record-keeping began in 1880.
In April, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) alluded to Genesis to make the point that not everyone believes climate change is man-made.
"I would point out that if you're a believer in the Bible, one would have to say the Great Flood is an example of climate change, and that certainly wasn't because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy," he said.
Other Republicans are happy to distance themselves from that kind of talk.
"I'm not a denier when it comes to whether or not we're seeing a changing climate," Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), who has nonetheless challenged the EPA's authority to regulate greenhouse gases, said Wednesday. "I believe that we are."
The Republican divide was evident during the 2012 presidential primary, in which former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum denounced climate science as "bogus" and mocked warnings about the "dangers" of carbon dioxide pollution. "Tell that to a plant, how dangerous carbon dioxide is," he said at an energy summit in March 2012.

3.5 stars (out of 4)
For the last year, Rhye made music under a cloak of anonymity. Who exactly was making this intoxicating sound? The airy, androgynous vocals led many listeners (and more than a few reviewers) to conclude that the lead singer was a woman.
In the last few weeks, the personalities behind Rhye have stepped forward: Canadian multi-instrumentalist Mike Milosh and Danish electro-soul artist Robin Hannibal. And, yes, Milosh's vocals do occasionally echo that '80s paragon of coolly remote lounge-soul, Sade.
Rhye's debut album, "Woman" (Innovative Leisure), is a beautifully sequenced song cycle of soul music with the flame turned low. It's sexy, but not overheated. Sade had the ability to make sensuality sound cool, even a bit remote, as if she were trying to conceal the hurt from a love affair by limiting herself to a melancholy whisper. Milosh is more transparent, but he also keeps things at low volume, often rising to a delicate falsetto that blurs gender lines. He sings with restraint and directness about love and lust, while still leaving something to the imagination.
"Open" begins with a string arrangement that suggests the first crack of sunlight through a bedroom window. "I'm a fool for that shake in your thighs/I'm a fool for the sound in your sighs," Milosh sings. The way he stretches the word "fool" evokes Marvin Gaye's phrasing, relaxed even as it smolders with longing. The song catches the narrator between sleep and wakefulness, shaking loose the cobwebs, the first thoughts in his head rewinding to a tryst a few hours earlier.
The album documents the stages of a love affair, each track an exquisitely arranged snapshot of a moment in time. Percussion percolates, bass lines exude an almost subliminal pull (while occasionally rising to a dancefloor-worthy pulse, especially on "Last Dance" and "Hunger"). Strings and horns flicker in and out, sometimes barely noticed, sometimes for only a few seconds – each note adding or subtracting a few carefully calibrated degrees to the emotional temperature.
The usual sonic cliches of the "quiet-storm" sound aren't much in evidence: the unctuous saxophones, the stacks of synthetic keyboard goo. The sound of dripping water sets the pensive tone of "Verse." In "3 Days," the strings make a seductive entrance midway through the song, and then slip away, as if to affirm the narrator's rueful observation: "Love is terminal/not built to last/burn bright/burn fast." On the closing title track, Milosh's voice becomes another instrument atop an undulating, neo-classical synthesizer line, repeating the word "woman" over and over until it finally turns into pure sound. At a certain point, words fail.

Dear Parent,
As a parent, you have the greatest impact on your child's goals and aspirations. Helping
your child prepare for college will put him or her on a proven path to a brighter future.
Like most 10th graders in Oklahoma, your child took the PLAN test at the beginning of the
school year. This test, paid for by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, prepares
students for the ACT in the 11th or 12th grade.
You may have already received your child's score report from the school. If you haven't, it is
important that you check with your child TODAY to make sure he or she has seen it and has
a copy or contact your child's school counselor for a copy. Once you have it, sit down with
your child and discuss the results together.
PLAN will show you
how your child is
doing in English, math,
reading and science.
It also includes
questions that help
your child begin the
process of career
and educational
exploration. PLAN
also helps you and
educators monitor
student progress
throughout high school.
For your child to be admitted to the college he or she wants and get needed fi nancial aid,
he or she must be well-prepared. The PLAN test is an excellent way for students to prepare for
success in college and in the workplace.
This guide will walk you through understanding your child's score report and also contains
resources for planning today for your child's college education.
Please feel free to contact the State Regents offi ce for more information at 1.800.858.1840 or

today for your child's future
The Your Scores section shows what your child scored on the PLAN test, how the score
compares to others and how your child is likely to score on the ACT if he or she takes the right
courses and works hard.
Your child's scores are between 1 (the lowest
score you can receive) and 32 (the highest score
you can receive). PLAN takes the number of
questions your child got right on each test and
translates it into a number between 1 and 32.
Your child's composite score is simply the
average of his or her test scores in English, math,
reading and science (rounded to a whole
The two scores directly under English and math
tell you how well your child did in two specifi c
areas of each subject. These scores added
together do NOT necessarily equal the total
English or math test scores. Next to your child's
scores, you'll fi nd the percentage of students
scoring at or below his or her scores.
PLAN scores can be used to predict how your
child is likely to score if he or she keeps working
hard and takes the ACT as an 11th or 12th
grader. Remember that these scores are only
estimates, not guarantees. Improving study
habits and taking more challenging courses are
the best strategies for improving an ACT score.
When taking PLAN, your child was asked about the courses he or she
plans to take in high school.
The Your Plans section of the score report compares your child's plans
to ACT's recommendations for "core" college prep courses. Talk to your
child's counselor if his or her high school course plans fall short of the
"core" college prep course recommendations.
Your child's PLAN results give you an early clue as to whether your child
will be ready for college-level work if he or she maintains the same level
of commitment to school.
ACT has also developed college readiness benchmark scores. The
checkmarks show whether your child scored above, at or below the
benchmark scores. Students who score at or above the benchmark scores
for PLAN in English, math and science will probably do well in entry-level
college courses in these subjects if they keep up with their coursework.
Students scoring at or above the reading benchmark are on their way to
having the reading skills they will need in all of their college courses.
When taking PLAN, your child answered questions
about his or her future educational plans. This
information can help clarify your child's goals and plan
for his or her future, including a college education.
It's not too soon for your child to begin exploring possible
The Your Career Possibilities section helps your child start by
focusing on a few career areas. Exploring careers is easier if you
have a good map. The World-of-Work Map is your child's key to
hundreds of jobs. Sit down with your child and follow the three
easy steps to exploring careers. You can also launch the map
at www.actstudent.org/wwm/plan_world.html.
The Your Skills section on the back of the score report describes the skills and
knowledge your child has already mastered.
You'll also see some ideas for helping your child improve even more in the
different subject areas. The suggestions are based on your child's scores and
can help him or her identify areas in need of improvement in order to improve
skills and be better prepared for the ACT. Sit down with your child and discuss
ways to get the most from his or her courses and become "college ready."
Next Steps
Stay in touch with your child's counselor. Counselors are great resources and partners in
helping students achieve success.
If you haven't already, sign your child up for Oklahoma's Promise so he or she can earn free
college tuition if your family meets the requirements outlined at www.okpromise.org. The
deadline to sign up is June 30 the summer after your child's 10th-grade year.
Check your child's progress on taking the core courses required by Oklahoma public
colleges and universities.
Be sure your child registers by the deadline for the ACT. The ACT is typically taken in the fall
and spring of the junior year and fall of the senior year. Your child can take the test more
than once to improve his or her score.
Go to www.OKcollegestart.org – Oklahoma's offi cial one-stop shop for college prep – and
help your child set up a secure account. Through the site, your child can create an individual
portfolio, access campus information, apply for federal and state fi nancial aid and apply to
many of the state's colleges and universities.
Encourage your child to get involved in extracurricular activities that help develop
teamwork, leadership and commitment.
Be positive and encouraging and talk to your child about his or her concerns and plans for
the future!

A year or two ago, I played around with Evernote but just didn't fall in love with it. I was attracted to Evernote because I've seen so many blog posts written about it; how easy it is to use, very mobile, syncs with the web – the list of cool features was pretty long. So I tried it. But I didn't fall in love. I felt that the interface wasn't as intuitive as I would have liked and I got confused a few times. After a few weeks, I gave up and moved on.
I know exactly what you mean, Elyse. I did it too. Then I found OneNote and I love it. I used it for a little bit with my genealogy files, but as I continued to read about how great Evernote was... I dunno... I felt like I was missing something and OneNote wasn't really the tool of choice, so I left it for a while.
Now, as I am working on my paperless office, I realize I need a program like Evernote or OneNote to help me beter organize my thoughts.
Now I need to pick up one, or both of these tools and try again. Maybe there is another option I'm not even considering.
I'm curious what other family historians think about the topic. Are you using one of these programs or something similar? Why did you pick one over the other? Did you try other options before settling on the program you use? I'll likely try both ofr a period of time, but if you have consideration you think I should factor in, please let me know. It would be helpful to know what other genealogists find useful.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Georgia College's Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) gives voice to all student-athletes at GC through the influences of the 21 coach-nominated student-athletes.
SAAC allows student-athletes to vote and express their opinions and concerns about NCAA legislation, rules, regulations and policies that affect all student-athletes' lives, enabeling information to be relayed between all conference campuses.
Allowing the students to vote on the NCAA legislation "gives them a voice, their input actually makes a difference," said Student-Athlete Advisory Committee advisor and assistant director of athletics Ginger Chaffinch.
At the beginning of the school year, each coach nominates two members to represent each sport as part of the committee. Ideas, likes and concerns are bounced around at the monthly meetings run by the nominated President and Vice President. Shanteona Keys (basketball) was nominated as 2012-13 President with Wictor Anderson (tennis) and Allison Lones (cross country and basketball) as Co-Vice Presidents. Cross country's Victoria Dobson was named the secretary.
The concerns and legislation edits are sent to the college president who will then meet with their respect SAAC advisor to discuss changes that the student-athletes propose. Each NCAA Division II level college president gets to vote based on the feedback and reports from their respected school at convention.
An overall mission is to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the NCAA Division II's philanthropy. In the previous years the money has been raised with the help of other on-campus organizations and people through small fundraisers at ballgames, 3k races and varied events.
For the second-straight year, $1,000 of the total proceeds made at the 12th Annual Milledgeville Open and Kids Tennis Festival hosted by GC Athletics will be donated towards the cause.

|OpenBSD General Other questions regarding OpenBSD which do not fit in any of the categories below.
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Should newbies use -current?
Thank you Ocicat ..
is it a good option for a newbie to follow current ?
eventhough it might turn sometimes troublesome , some say it is a good way to accelerate learning ..
I am using openbsd 5.0 stable and waiting some advice from bsdcraftsmen ..
I regret wasting years on windows .. the more I use openbsd the more I feel the big difference .. thanks theo .. thanks bsdfolk .. thanks hackers ..
@Daemonfowl, there are many production users of -current. It can be as easy as upgrading to the most recent snapshot. However there are some things you should consider before making the jump:
Last edited by jggimi; 23rd January 2012 at 02:57 PM. Reason: Added a link to the Following -current FAQ reference.
As for accelerating learning, no. Not for those very new to Unix.
Your best guide for learning OpenBSD is to put in serious time studying the FAQ.
thank you so much Jgimmi ! , thank you so much Ocicat !
I admit I am a total newbie and I feel so passionate about BSDWorld and BSDCommunity ..
I'm prone to consider Ocicat's advice and stick to stable ..
looking forward to get some help with the unicode issue .. I still cannot save pages when in unicode titles so I have to change title names into latin .. otherwise files won't save ..
+ how can I set fvwm to switch between two kb layouts ?
help is much appreciated .. when Chronus allows ..
Secondly, this site is small, & it is completely a volunteer effort. People will respond when they have time & if they feel they have something to add to the discussion.
The OpenBSD community is small & mostly comprised by professionals & developers. The OpenBSD culture does not include lots of help for those totally new to Unix. While this site may bridge some of the gap, the number of regulars at this site is even smaller than the community at large. While we welcome questions from those at all levels of experience, recognize that a volunteer site has limits. This thread helps frame how questions can most effectively get the answers desired.
Nevertheless, the information presented in Section 5.1 of the official FAQ should be factored when answering the original question.
This discussion has been split from its parent thread:
@daemonfowl, I have some general recommendations for those new to OpenBSD:
OpenBSD is a small project. The target audience for OpenBSD is the OpenBSD developers themselves. They just happen to make their efforts public for users like us to use freely. It is not a goal of the OpenBSD project to overcome Windows, Linux, or anyone else. There are times when the developers will gladly point users to other alternatives.
From time to time, users will suggest and/or even demand new features on misc@. Unless those requests come with code submissions, such requests will be ignored. Sometimes unseemly responses will be made.
misc@ should not be construed as being a resource for hand-holding. It is a mailing list provided by the project developers with the community for discussing OpenBSD at the development level. It is best used as a forum for focused & researched questions only. Unlike other Open Source projects, all of the OpenBSD developers do so as volunteers. Developers like to develop. They have to be very protective of what they spend time doing if they are going to be productive & effective. Hand-holding, for better or worse, doesn't make them more productive. If this seems unfriendly, consider whether the mailing lists used by the core Linux team are public. Linus Torvalds doesn't interact with rank-&-file Linus users. He wouldn't get anything done if he did.
Ocicat , I's sorry for the inconvenience and I thank you for your enlightening advice !
This forum may a sa matter of fact be small .. yet, it does have unique features since it appertains to the BSDs .. and what is more .. neat and clean .. not overburdened with host of pics and stuff .. I like that .. it has the feel of the BSDs itself ..
Jggimi , thank you very much !!
number 3 is true ..
as for "OpenBSD Community" , I don't think it is oxymoronic .. it's just that 'Daemonists' do not hype , they produce clean code .. consistently .. avoiding the lights .. though energizing the very sources of those lights .. a fact ..
un cadeau pour Ocicat & Jggimi :
I invite both of you to listen to Stillstream while coding :
$ mplayer http://srv3.electro-music.com:8500
zen-listening while zen-coding , right ?

First. Please disregard the OBVIOUS self-tanning mess I've created on my hands. I wasn't careful. The splotchiness is a result. Second. Color Club Age of Aquarius. I am in LOVE with this color. For as much as I love color, I hadn't discovered that perfect green. This is it. The search is over. It's got a neon vibe, but is so interesting. It's my Easter mani. And about to become my Easter pedi.
Now that I've discovered the brilliant AoA from Color Club, I'm thinking I need to look into their other neon colors. I picked this up from Birchbox, and am thisclose to ordering the neony-peachy pink Jackie Oh! and the bright blue Chelsea Girl. Thoughts? Opinions?

New Symposium Puts Tech Students In The SpotlightSOCORRO, N.M. October 18, 2011 – New Mexico Tech is launching a new public event that will open the windows to all the interesting student research and design projects on campus.
The Student Research Symposium is set for April 13, 2012, and all students – graduates and undergraduates – are invited to submit papers and present posters or talks about their work. Any interested student can register with the approval of his or her research advisor.
Students, staff, faculty and community members are invited to an information session at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 26, in Weir 102.
Dr. Mary Dezember said the goals of the new event are to provide a student-centered event that will allow students to improve their communication skills and foster a greater sense of community, thus improving the connections among all Tech students.
"This symposium will help students learn how to present research, but it will also give Techies a venue to see what sort of amazing research and design projects are happening in academic areas they might not be familiar with," Dezember said. "The task for the presenters will be to present their work in a format that will be understood by the broader university audience."
Dezember is the Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs and a professor in the Communication, Liberal Arts, and Social Sciences, or CLASS Department. She said the impetus for the symposium germinated at a workshop hosted by the Higher Learning Commission in the spring of 2011. The Commission selected Tech to participate in a pilot project, in which the Commission tasked universities in good standing with the HLC to develop a plan to improve their campuses. Seven faculty and staff members attended the workshop.
"As a group, we came up with an idea for this symposium," Dezember said. "We think it's a great fit for New Mexico Tech. What we've observed is that students form connections within their departments. We are hoping the symposium will foster a more campus-wide sense of community."
Dezember also said another goal of the event is to encourage students to improve their communication skills. This research and design symposium will feature students who are presenting their work to an interdisciplinary audience. Student presenters will be encouraged to take advantage of the Writing Center and the Oral Presentation Center, both of which offer free advice and mentoring.
"A symposium like this will further prepare students for what they'll be doing in the workplace," Dezember said.
Students must submit a paper and give either an oral presentation or a poster presentation. Registration will open in late November and continue through February 10, 2012. Guidelines and criteria for papers, oral presentations and posters will be available on the symposium's website by mid-November. Poster presenters must submit their posters by March 23, 2012, to be printed in time for the symposium. All papers must be submitted by April 2, 2012.
Research and design papers that meet specified criteria for writing and research will be published by New Mexico Tech in a new journal. Oral presentations that meet specified criteria will be put on the symposium's website. The symposium committee is assembling panels of external and internal reviewers to help determine which projects meet the requirements for publication. Tech alumni are especially welcome to volunteer as reviewers.
The event will be Friday, April 13, in the Fidel Center and Workman Center. Poster presentations will be in the Fidel atrium in the morning. Oral presentations will be in the afternoon in Workman 101 and possibly other locations on campus.
For more information, contact Dr. Mary Dezember at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit the symposium's website at www.nmt.edu/student-research-symposium after Monday, Oct. 24.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Earlier this month future Bulldog Eva Fabian won the 2011 10k Open Water National Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Fabian finished first among her female competitors in rough conditions and will now race in the 10k at the Open Water World Championships in Shanghai, China, at the end of July. If she finishes in the top 10 in Shanghai she will qualify for the event at the 2012 Olympics in London. At the moment Fabian is assessing the specific open water training and travel she will need to do to compete at this level and accordingly she may defer enrollment at Yale for one year.
Fabian clocked in at 2:18:31.26 to win the 10k National Championship on June 10. Fabian's seed time leading up to the race was the third-fastest and indeed she was towards the front of the field for most of the race. After four 2.5k laps it was Fabian who came through the chute first in a relatively close finish, with only about five seconds separating the top three finishers after more than two hours of swimming.
Fabian, a New Hampshire native, swims for Greenwood Memorial Swim Club. The club itself is based in Massachusetts, so Fabian trains out of Keene State College in her hometown of Keene, N.H., where she is coached by her father, Jack Fabian. Fabian began swimming at age six and started competing in open water races at the age of 11. She did her first open water 10k at age 14 and in the space of two years she would go on to finish second in the 10k at the 2009 Open Water National Championships. That same summer she finished 10th in the 25k and 27th in the 10k at Open Water Worlds. Just one year later she had moved up to the winner's circle in two of the sport's premier competitions, winning a silver medal in the 10k open water event at the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships and winning a gold medal in the 5k at the 2010 Open Water World Championships in Roberval, Canada.
Open water swimming has seen a rise in popularity ever since it became an official event at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. The sport will return to China in one month's time as Shanghai plays host to the 2011 FINA World Championships. Seven open water events will be contested from July 19-23, the first of which will be the women's 10k on Tuesday, July 19. If Fabian finishes in the top 10 in this event she will earn a bid to the 2012 Olympics.
"She has a lethal combination of sheer determination, excellent work ethic and a happy-go-lucky personality which will not only elevate our game here at Yale, but also inspire her teammates," said Robert J.H. Kiphuth Head Coach of Swimming and Diving Cristina Teuscher.
Named the USA Swimming Open Water Female Swimmer of the Year in the fall of 2010, Fabian plans to continue her long-distance swimming habits while at Yale. When she finally arrives in New Haven she is sure to join the ranks of Yale swimming greats like Marilee Kiernan '09, who set a women's American record last June for crossing the Straight of Gibraltar, and made the 23-mile swim across the English Channel one month later.
Report filed by Tom Lynam '13, Yale Sports Publicity
