I'm having trouble getting gauge for a few things I'm TRYING to work on.
Firstly Fat Cat Pillow, I just can't get the gauge required
Gauge: 20 sts and 28 rows = 4" in St st. I'm getting 24 sts to 4", and If I go up another size needle the fabric is going to be to open (holey). I've found I can get gauge if I use 2 strands of yarn but seeing as this is a chart pattern, I'm not sure if this is viable or will muck up the chart completley
Second is Whiteliesdesigns Shapely Tee, I've decided to substitute the yarn for Patons Zhivago, so soft and cuddly. Again the problem here is I can't get gauge, it's WAY to open, if I convert the pattern to fit a gauge I like, will I screw it up completley?

wikiHow to Design a T‐Shirt Logo
What's more comfortable than a T-shirt? Tees are like pajamas, only we're not embarrassed to be seen wearing them in public. To the contrary...
1Choose your colors. Keep in mind that the busier the color pattern the more difficult it is to read the logo. Therefore, if you're going to design a logo that you want people to read, choose no more than two or maybe three colors.
2Select a readable font. While fancy fonts look pretty up close, they are difficult to read from afar. Reading a T-shirt often occurs in passing. Whether you're walking into or out of a store or walking down the street, your font has to be large, clear and easily readable by anyone passing by.
3Pick a graphic. Similar to choosing fonts, graphics have to be clear, large, and viewable. Fine details on a logo can get lost on a small logo image. It might be necessary to forgo fine details in favor of large viewable and less detailed graphics.
4Digitize the logo. Once you've designed the logo for your T-shirt, digitize it. That means if the image was hand drawn, scan it so that it is computer readable.
5Check the logo dimensions. Use care not to design a wonderful looking logo only to find that it distorts when resized to fit on the T-shirt. Keep track of the logo's dimensions to ensure it renders properly on the T-shirt.

underWAY Now Available at Bartell Drugs in Washington State
BOCA RATON, Fla., May 3 /PRNewswire/ — This month, the trailblazing company whose Smart for Life cookie diet products have become the fastest-growing weight management company in North America now introduces underWAY(TM) – a scientifically formulated, appetite-suppressing line of great-tasting healthy beverages. Better Health Beverage is proud to announce that underWAY, in 2 delicious flavors, is now available in Bartell Drugs locations in 57 Puget Sound neighborhoods in Washington.
Co-host of ABC's Dancing with the Stars celebrity and "momtrepreneur" Brooke Burke was named brand spokesperson by underWAY(TM). "I am proud to align myself with a product that provides the first real solution to a common problem faced by everyone – hunger pangs," said Brooke Burke. "As a busy mother of four children with a hectic work schedule, I try to eat healthy and maintain energy and underWAY gives me an easily portable solution to keep me feeling full through to my next healthy meal or snack."
"We're excited to launch underWAY in a market where Bartell Drugs remains a leader in serving the community," said Richard Kayne, COO of Better Health Beverage. "In addition, to support our product launch with Bartell Drugs, a TV media campaign is currently running in the Seattle Metropolitan area to help support the trial and traffic for Bartell Drugs."
underWAY's key ingredient HeroFiber(TM) was developed by Dr. Sasson Moulavi (Dr. Sass), M.D., a Board-Certified Bariatric Physician and graduate of University of Toronto and McGill University, who has dedicated his life's work to finding easily palatable solutions to help Americans curb their hunger. HeroFiber helps to fill the stomach and reduce hunger pains, allowing dieters to consume less. In addition to all the healthy appetite-suppressing fiber in every 16oz. naturally flavored underWAY bottle, the two all-natural flavors – Acai-Pomegranate and Orange – have consumers raving about the taste. With a mere 10 (low glycemic) calories per serving, and no hidden sugars, sodium or caffeine, underWAY(TM) is truly the healthy way to put hunger on hold.
Bartell Drugs is the oldest family-owned drugstore chain in the nation. Today, all of the company's 57 stores are located in Puget Sound neighborhoods. Bartell Drugs believes that the primary reason for its success and longevity (more than 100 years) is encompassed in their basic philosophy of doing business. Bartell provides customers with the best possible selection of quality merchandise and friendly, courteous service at competitive prices.

Belliappa digs out images of Kodagu from the past
Recently I came across four interesting images of Coorg dating back to early and mid nineteenth century
The first (in picture above) is a remarkable water-colour sketch by artist John Johnson, of the guest-house in Mercara which was very likely built around 1795-1801 during Dodda Veerarajendra's reign. There are several mentions of this guest-house in the writing of British visitors to Coorg. This accommodation was exclusively for the European visitors and had all amenities the westerners were used to. It was located at the area where the Government Central School is now situated. Mercara Fort can be seen in the background. One of the guests during Lingarajendra's rule, General James Welsh, gave the following description of the building when he visited Coorg in 1811:
"I must now describe our own habitation, built on a small island, surrounded by paddy ground, now dry for the sole accommodation of Europeans. It is a large square, having a hall in the centre, a large covered-in verandah all round it, and four bed-rooms projecting at the angles of the verandah, all on an upper story, the lower rooms serving for the guard, attendants, store-rooms etc. It stands on a square of seventy feet, the verandah having thirty-eight glass windows, with venetian blinds outside. The bed-rooms have sixteen windows, and the hall eight glass door; every part being neatly furnished, in the English style, with beds, tables, card-tables, writing boxes, chairs, chandeliers, settees etc. etc. And there is an old butler of my Vellore friend Colonel Ridgway Mealay, and a dozen active servants, who very speedily produce an English breakfast or dinner, served up on handsome Queen's ware, with every kind of European liquor; and what is even still more extraordinary, the cook bakes good bread!"
Another visitor, Dr. William Jeafreson, was a guest of Chikka Veerarajendra in 1830. He spent 22 days in Coorg. He wrote about the guest-house in these words:
"…There we found a splendid bungalow, fitted up for our accommodation, with every possible convenience.
Round this residence grew flowers of the richest hues and the sweetest perfume, while trees, laden with delicious fruit, among whose branches perched wild birds of the brightest and most variegated plumage, cast over us their agreeable shade.
Near this bungalow was a tank, made of black marble of the highest polish and most elaborate workmanship, in the centre of which rose a fountain, throwing up jets of water so clear and pellucid that hundreds of large and beautiful fish might be seen disporting in the basin, or else darting about in every direction after their prey. This tank was the favourite resort of the Rajah who was wont to visit it daily, at noon. Standing beside it, he would ring a small gold bell, he carried in his hand, and, at its tinkling, all the fish collected together at one spot, anxiously waiting their food (young frogs, parched peas etc.), which an attendant threw to them from a basket.
In another part of the garden was an immense black marble stand, of pyramidal form, along the five front steps of which were arranged hundreds of bleached skulls of elephants, being the Optima Spolia of the chase."
After the British annexed Coorg in 1834, this building was surprisingly neglected. By 1860s it was in bad shape and was crumbling. It was in 1862 that 64 Coorg elders approached the British government to build a boarding house for boys attending the Central School. They suggested the site of the guest-house for the hostel, and further requested the material from the collapsed building be used for construction! The British agreed, and the boarding house was ready by 1871 under Rev. Richter's supervision.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) � Jonathan Stewart remains perfect in two offseasons with the Carolina Panthers.
Two injuries, zero practices.
"You're going to take some teasing. They're out there busting their butt with me just sitting on the sideline for the second year in a row," Stewart said moments after the Panthers concluded optional workouts this week. "I'm really taking the heat for that."
Stewart, Carolina's first-round pick in 2008, had little trouble after being held out of drills last year following toe surgery. He rushed for a rookie franchise record 836 yards and 10 touchdowns, combining with DeAngelo Williams to give Carolina the NFL's top rushing tandem.
But Stewart was told the lingering toe pain led him to his current ailment: pain in his left Achilles' tendon. Stewart said it got worse during Carolina's offseason conditioning program earlier this year.
"I was overcompensating from the surgery on my toe," Stewart said. "It just lingered throughout the season. It just kind of flared up, so I'm pretty much staying off of it to just let it heal."
It left Stewart standing around for a three-day minicamp last month and for all 12 optional workouts this month. But Stewart, who did some light jogging with his teammates at the end of Tuesday's practice, promises he'll be doing more than watching once training camp opens Aug. 2.
"I'm going to be up and running when camp starts," Stewart said. "I'll be ready."
The Panthers need him. While Williams' career year of 1,515 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns captured the spotlight in 2008, the stocky Stewart gave the Panthers another option that wore out opposing defenses and helped Carolina go 12-4 and win the NFC South.
Williams and Stewart had the most yards rushing by NFL teammates since 1984, yet it's difficult for Stewart to focus on anything other than the Panthers' embarrassing 33-13 home loss to Arizona in the NFC divisional playoffs. Falling behind early, the Panthers abandoned the running game and Stewart managed just 12 yards on three carries. Carolina finished with 75 yards rushing.
"This offense, and this team in general, is hungry from last year," Stewart said. "Coach (John Fox) just got done talking about the Cardinals game last year, and how that bitter taste has been in his mouth since the past season. It's definitely something on everyone's mind."
Fox hammered home the point as he gathered the team for a final time before the players' six-week break before they report to Spartanburg, S.C. With all eyes on a difficult 2009 schedule, Fox had no problem resting Stewart in offseason workouts.
"I've seen good progress," Fox said. "What we're most interested in is having him ready for the season. I anticipate that being the case."
The Panthers, who have never had consecutive winning seasons, will depend on Williams and Stewart again. And after an offseason of mostly standing around, Stewart certainly should be fresh.
"I don't see why we should lower our expectations from last year," Stewart said. "When our name's called, we just have to play ball. I think me and DeAngelo are capable of much more next year, running the ball and catching the ball."

Google aiming for real relevance
Google has announced the launch of "Interest-based" advertising as a beta. Here's what Google says about three important features of interest-based advertising:
- Transparency – We already clearly label most of the ads provided by Google on the AdSense partner network and on YouTube. You can click on the labels to get more information about how we serve ads, and the information we use to show you ads. This year we will expand the range of ad formats and publishers that display labels that provide a way to learn more and make choices about Google's ad serving.
- Choice – We have built a tool called Ads Preferences Manager, which lets you view, delete, or add interest categories associated with your browser so that you can receive ads that are more interesting to you.
- Control – You can always opt out of the advertising cookie for the AdSense partner network here. To make sure that your opt-out decision is respected (and isn't deleted if you clear the cookies from your browser), we have designed a plug-in for your browser that maintains your opt-out choice.
So, it seems we're getting closer towards respecting people's preferences and asking for permission. Still a way to go on the privacy front. Of course if the ads are truly relevant we won't recognise them as ads at all.

Our posting of a revised Privacy Policy on the Website constitutes notice to you of the revisions. Your use of the Website or the Website Services (defined below) constitutes acceptance of this Privacy Policy.
Regroup provides a technology platform at the Website that allows participating mental health professionals ("Therapists") to offer internet-based video sessions to their clients ("Clients") and may from time to time provide certain related services (collectively, and as described more completely in our Terms of Use, "Website Services"). Regroup is not itself a provider of mental health services, and Therapists are not employees or agents of Regroup.
Why We Collect Personal Information
We collect your personal information because it helps us deliver a superior level of Website Services and in some instances is required to provide the Website Services. In addition, your personal information helps us keep you posted on the latest service and technical announcements and information related to any registration you maintain with us.
The Information We Collect and How We May Use It
(a) Clients. We do not ask Clients to register with us. A Therapist seeking to use the Website Services for a video session with a Client, however, must enter the Client's name and email address after the Therapist logs into the Website. We, or our vendors, store this information in order to provide video sessions.
Some of the personal information we hold about Clients may be protected health information ("PHI"). PHI is information about a Client that may be used to identify the Client (such as the Client's name), and that relates to the provision of health care to the Client.. To the extent we receive PHI and it has not been de-identified, we will hold it in confidence (or provide it only to third parties who have agreed to hold it in confidence) and will only use it to display in the account of the Therapist who entered the data and to provide Website Services to the Client. We provide the Website Services consistent with applicable federal and state laws governing health information privacy and security, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
This Privacy Policy describes how we protect your privacy as a general user of the Website Services, not as an individual receiving mental health services. If you are receiving mental health advice services from a Therapist through the Website Services, you may have other rights with respect to the access, use, and disclosure of PHI or other information collected by your Therapist.
(b) Therapists. If you register with us as a Therapist, we will collect personal information relevant to your registration, such as a your name, email address, and information relating to support or service issues. We will or may use this information to establish your account as a registered user, to provide Website Services to you, to develop business partnerships or other commercial relationships relating to Therapists, so that we or third parties may provide or offer additional services to you, for technical support purposes, and for account and website maintenance purposes. In addition, when you register as a Therapist or later, you may be asked to complete a Therapist profile. As a registered Therapist, you will have the ability to view, change or delete your personal information either directly on the Website or, for certain changes, by making a request of us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
(c) All Users. As described in more detail under "Cookies and Other Technologies" below, we collect information regarding user activities on the Website. This helps us to determine how people use the Website, how often people use the Website, which portions of the Website are most commonly used, and in general, how the Website and our Website Services are being used. We may use personal information to provide Website Services that you have requested as well as for auditing, research, and analysis to improve the Website and Website Services. We may also use personal information to enforce our Terms of Use.
Video Sessions
When you participate in video sessions as part of the Website Services, you will provide personal information to your Therapist and, in group support sessions, to other Clients participating in the session. If you are a Therapist, your handling of any such personal information is subject to your professional obligations of confidentiality. If you are a Client, you agree to maintain the confidentiality of any personal information you receive from other Clients. In addition, you acknowledge that while Regroup requires Clients and Therapists to maintain (in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, and any other agreements between such user and us) the confidentiality of personal information they receive as part of the Website Services, Clients and Therapists are not under the control of Regroup and Regroup is not responsible for their actions or inactions.
When We Disclose Your Information
Regroup takes privacy very seriously. Regroup does not sell or rent personally identifiable Client information to marketers or other third parties.
In addition to the uses and disclosures of personal information described above under "The Information We Collect and How We May Use It", there are times when Regroup makes certain personal information about you available to suppliers and vendors engaged by Regroup and on whom Regroup relies to provide the Website Services. These companies may help us process payments, deliver Website Services to you, manage or analyze user data, provide customer service, assess your interest in our products and services, or conduct customer research or satisfaction surveys. These companies are also obligated to protect your personal information in accordance with Regroup's policies, except (1) as otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Use, (2) if we inform you otherwise at the time of collection, or (3) if we determine that the services of a company are required for us to deliver Website Services, the company has a privacy policy satisfactory to Regroup, and we send no personally identifying information to the company. Without such information being made available, it would be difficult for us to provide and for you to receive Website Services or for us to maintain and develop the Website.
At times we may be required by law to disclose your personal information.
How We Protect Your Personal Information
Regroup takes precautions – including administrative, technical, and physical measures – to safeguard your personal information against loss, theft, and misuse, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. The measures we use include the use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption (using at least 256 bit encryption) on all web pages where personal information is required. Doing so protects the confidentiality of your personal information while it is transmitted over the Internet.
Despite these measures, the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to or from us via the Website Services or email, or any electronic storage system, cannot be guaranteed. As a result, although we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us through or in connection with the Website or that is stored by us. Any information you transmit through the Website or upload for storage in connection with the Website is at your own risk. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you feel that the security of any account you might have with us has been compromised), you must immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us in accordance with the "Privacy Questions" section below.
Cookies and Other Technologies

We use this information, which does not identify individual users, to analyze trends, to administer the site, to track users' movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Regroup will not use this type of collected information to market directly to Clients.
In some of the email messages from us, we use a "click-through URL" linked to content on Regroup website. When users click one of these URLs, they pass through our web server before arriving at the destination web page. We may track this click-through data for to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked, avoid clicking text or graphic links in the email.
We periodically backup the files and information, which may include your personal information, used to maintain the Website and provide the Website Services. Any changes to your personal information or deleted accounts will persist in our backup files until those files are updated in the ordinary course of our operations.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune article, "Fairmont ethanol plant owner is blindsided by its lender," reports that Green Plains Renewable Energy, the nation's fourth-largest ethanol maker, agreed to acquire ethanol plants in Fairmont, Minn., and Wood River, Neb., from First National Bank of Omaha for $101 million. However, an ethanol producer with the plants said they were blindsided by the deal, finding out via a news release.
Lindquist & Vennum attorney George Singer, who has represented both lenders and borrowers in connection with ethanol plant bankruptcies, workouts and restructurings, shared his expertise with the newspaper, asserting that it is extremely rare for a secured lender to sell business assets without informing the company. "I have never heard a borrower say, 'I didn't know the plant was sold.'''

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander. A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.
Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used. For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.
AND and OR may be used in a search. Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance."
The + and - sign operators may be used. The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".
To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks. For example, "Project Finance".

Sharing Your Joyous Events with Kulanu
print this document
print this as a 2-sided brochure
What is Kulanu?
Kulanu is a non-profit organization, founded in 1994 by Jews of varied backgrounds and religious practices and dedicated to supporting isolated and emerging Jewish communities around the world. We help people reconnect with their Jewish roots, and work with communities in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas to enrich their Jewish learning and practice of Judaism. We work on projects for sustainable development and infrastructure improvement with communities in Asia and Africa. In addition, we operate an online boutique that sells books, CDs, handicrafts and Judaica from and about the communities. You can read more about our work with different communities at www.kulanu.org and order products from www.kulanuboutique.com
Who Can Help?
Anyone can help!
Kulanu is the Hebrew word for "all of us". It was founded as a grassroots effort to encourage each of us living within strong, vibrant Jewish communities, particularly in North America, to reach out to Jews living in isolation - as well as groups and individuals attempting to trace Jewish roots - and help bring them into the "all of us" that is the worldwide Jewish community.
Sharing your joyous event with Kulanu is a particularly effective way to become involved.
Before you start planning, visit the Mitzvah Project page on Kulanu's web site, www.kulanu.org/mitzvahprojects. After you've read the material there, send us an email or call the Kulanu office at 1-212-877-8082 between 1pm and 5:30pm EST on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, to let the Mitzvah Project Team know about your idea. It is very important that we know of your project before you start work.
Why is a Kulanu Mitzvah Project So Important?
Kulanu cannot continue to do its work without donor support, and one of the hardest parts of fundraising is finding new donors. By inviting your friends and family to contribute to Kulanu, you are introducing them to "all of us" - most people are fascinated to discover all the far-away places where Jewish communities are emerging, and are inspired to get involved in supporting them. Every donor receives Kulanu's newsletter for one year (published two to three times annually), so they can continue to learn about Kulanu's work with Jewish communities around the world.
How Do I Help?
Here's an easy and effective way to support the knowledge and connections of Jews everywhere: Write a personal letter saying what Kulanu and its mission means to you, and include it with the invitations to your wedding, anniversary party, birthday or other celebration. Kulanu supporters often raise $1,000 to $4,000 simply by doing this, and they are delighted at how easily they can make a difference. When you include the letter with your invitation, even people who can't come to the event can still help.
To see your impact growing "live" - and to make it easy for your freinds and family to contribute - create a Personal Fundraising Page (PFP)! This web-based social media program allows you to easily create your own page (or simply pick one of Kulanu's templates) where people can read your message and donate directly online, or even register as part of your team. For an example, check out David's PFP.
What Should My Letter Say?
Please note that we ask you to send your letter to the Kulanu Mitzvah Project team first, before sending it out to your invitees.
The letter should tell about Kulanu and the work that we do. You may want to mention how you learned of Kulanu or talk about one or more of its projects or communities, and why you think it is important. Kulanu has sample letters available to get you started.
Your letter should end by telling donors that they have the option of either donating online or sending checks directly to Kulanu (not to you). The checks must be payable to "Kulanu." They should put your name in the Memo field of their check, or in the Comments field online (when a donor gives through your own PFP, they don't have to do that - gifts are automatically credited to your fundraiser when they go through your PFP link).
Here's an example of how to say this:
Please donate online at www.kulanu.org, or mail a check, payable to "Kulanu" to:
c/o Harriet Bograd, President
165 West End Ave., Apt. 3R
New York, NY 10023
Please mention my name in the online comments field or in the memo field of your check.
Do I Need to Inform Kulanu of My Project?
Yes. This enables us to track accurately the donations sent as a result of your letter. In addition, it is important that we:
- review and approve your fundraising letter before you send it out,
- get to know you and your project, so that we can answer questions if donors call Kulanu directly, and
- cheer you on!
Who Will Send Thank You Letters?
When Kulanu receives a contribution in your honor, we will promptly send the donor a thank you letter, which also confirms that their donation is tax-deductible. Kulanu will also let you know who has made donations in your honor so you can send your own personal thank you to each donor. (And again, you and everyone else will be able to see the donations come in when you use a PFP.)
Can I Say How the Money Will be Spent?
You can ask for donations to support all of the work that Kulanu does or for one of the Kulanu funds listed on the Getting Involved page on the Kulanu web site.
Because Kulanu is volunteer-driven, we must limit the number of funds we manage. Any restriction on the money that you raise must be approved by us in advance.
How Does Kulanu Use the Money It Receives?
The funds you raise will be used to assist the communities that we work with in Uganda, Cameroon, India, Zimbabwe, El Salvador, and elsewhere. No more than 10% of the funds collected are used for overhead and operating expenses such as Kulanu's small part-time staff, mailings, and newsletter. Our programs cover a broad range of activities including education, research, introductions and contacts, and development.

text: Just a quick headsup! I'm not sure if this applies to other mobile providers or just for new Voda contracts in the last 3 months or so. I got this info from my cousin who works for voda, so it's genuine. Basically, all calls are charged at a minimum of one minute now, so if you call someone and get through to the answerphone for 0.5 secs and put the phone down, that's classed as a one minute call, or you lose 1 minute talk time anyways. It's worse when you try to call the same person 5 times in a row and can't get through, that's 5 minutes of your talk time gone! We've all been there haven't we? Robbing B******ds!

Heidi Gan
Perth City Swimming Club
Age: 27
Coach: Matt Magee
Club: Perth City
Where it started: Heidi progressed quickly through the Learn to Swim programme in her home of Sarawak, Malaysia. She then started swimming with various clubs, which took her through to State Championship races in both Malaysia and Australia.
Heidi's passion for open water swimming starting through her Surf Life Saving training. In 2008 she won a silver medal in the Australian Nationals Under 19s Surf Race. Following this, she began competing in Swimming WA's Open Water Swimming Series events.
In 2010 her coach suggested she try the Australian Open Water National Championships. She competed in her first 10km event and placed 7th. The next day she competed in the 5km event and placed 5th.
Since then Heidi has been solely focused on open water swimming, and it's paid off. In the London 2012 Olympics she became the first Malaysian to represent her country in the 10km Open Water Marathon event.
The weapon: Heidi attributes her ability to undertake nine to 10 pool sessions, two circuit sessions, one gym session and two open water sessions a week to her love of coffee. One of her favourite parts of living in Perth is finding new places for coffee and cake.
The future: Heidi will be competing in the 10km marathon swim at the Rio Olympics this year. After making her Olympic debut in London, she's looking forward to the diverse challenges that Rio will bring.
After Rio, Heidi is excited to have a break from training and take some time to re-evaluate her goals.

Coach: Paul Bruce
Pet Event: 10km Marathon
Age: 25
Club: Westside Christchurch

The Weapon: Radford attributes his persistence and success to always being able to find the fun in his training. Kane says training with his coach, Paul Bruce, allows him to stay relaxed and not take things too seriously, while still progressing toward his goals.
Training with Westside Christ Church Aquatic has also given Kane the opportunity to meet new people from Perth and feel like part of a community.
The Future: Radford will be the first New Zealander to swim in an open water event at the Olympic level when he competes in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the 10km marathon.

Coach: Ben Allen
Pet Event: 1500m Freestyle and 5km Freestyle
Age: 14
Club: Breakers
Where it started...
Jack Wilson comes from swimming pedigree with both parents being former competitive swimmers themselves, so naturally Jack was guided into the sport and he has flourished. After winning his first medal at Australian Open Water Championships 2015 Wilson realized his own talent in the sport and the potential path to Olympic glory. Wilson has continued to improve with the guidance from his coach Ben Allen and credits his success to their close relationship.
The Record
Wilson was the youngest swimmer to win gold for WA at the 2016 Australian Open Water Championships, but he hasn't let his age stop his success. Wilson was the only swimmer from WA to win National Gold at both Open Water and Age Nationals, proving how versatile this young star really is. Wilson was also crowned National Champion at 2015 Australian Open Water Championships, and holds a staggering 58 state records, beating the likes of dual-Olympian Travis Nederpelt.
The Weapon
Wilson believes his weapons are the fundamental skills installed in himself, his coach and his club. As well as his technique Wilson's dedication to training hard day in day out has produced the extreme fitness that keeps him going when others begin to fade. Wilson believes the positive culture within the Breakers Swim Club has enabled him to get them most out of his natural abilities and will be critical in him achieving goals.
The Future
Like most swimmers Wilson's ultimate goal is to represent Australia at the Olympic Games and he is currently training hard to achieve this goal. Although Wilson understands that in order for this to happen he must continue to improve and is aiming to win the 400m, 1500m 5km and 10km at National Championships in 2017. Jack is also hoping to be selected on the 2016 WA State Team Age Short Course team that will compete in Canberra in late September.
Jack is the fourth athlete to be announced as a part of the 2016/17 Performance Pathway Programme. Athletes have been selected based off State and National meets to give athletes and their coaches an opportunity to develop their skills to improve their performance. The 2016/17 Performance Pathway Squads will be announced this Friday.
Wilson's profile release also coincides with the first release of the 2016/17 OWS dates, which sees the first 10 locations released. These dates can be found here.

Ben Popham
Performance Pathway Squad – Gold
Coach: Paul Bruce
Pet Event: 200 Freestyle
Age: 15
Club: Westside Christchurch
Club of Origin: Leisure Park Lasers/Superfinz
Where it started...
Ben's swimming career started at the age of 7 when a doctor told him that in order for him to overcome his muscle tightness caused by Cerebral Palsy he needed to start a sport. He proceeded to join Superfinz swim club and fell in love with the sport and what it involved. At only 12 Ben's coach recognized him as a huge talent and suggested he take it to another level, so he moved to Leisurepark Lazers and trained with Stacey Scott where he saw an enormous improvement in his ability. Ben has since moved to Westside Christchurch where he trains with Paul Bruce and his swimming has taken off and fuelled his love for the sport even more. Ben says his continual improvement is due to his ability to compete and willingness to put everything on the line in order to win.
The Record
At only 15 Ben has an impressive record that includes a National Age Gold medal from this year Championships, National Open final at this years Paralympic Trials and two National Records in the Male 14 year olds and 15 year olds S8 200m Freestyle.
The Weapon
The weapon of mass destruction that is Ben's choice when it comes to swimming is his personal hunger to win. His competitive drive continues urge him on in training and during a race, Ben said "every time I see myself passing someone it gives me a boost that makes me want to harder, and faster for longer. Ben credits his club environment for the big time drops he has been able to experience over the past twelve months.
The Future
The overall goal for Ben is to win gold at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympic games, in the 400m freestyle. However Ben understands this will be no easy task and has set reasonable stepping-stones that he believes will guide him to ultimate glory. Ben is hoping to gain selection on the 2017 IPC World Championships team and then the 2018 Commonwealth games team. As well as pursuing his swimming goals, Ben is interested in psychology and wishes to one day be able to give back to the sport.
Ashleigh Glover
Performance Pathway Squad – Gold
Coach: Michael Palfrey
Pet Event: 200 Breaststroke
Age: 16
Club: UWA-West Coast
Where it started...
Ashleigh has always had a passion for swimming, starting at the tender age of four in a learn to swim programme before transitioning into Club swimming. Glover has been a loyal member of UWA-West Coast (previously West Coast Swimming Cub) and has been subject to a wealth of coaching experience that includes mentors Rob Palfrey, Michael Shaw and Michael Palfrey, to each of whom she credits her success. Glover says the positive relationship she has been able to establish with her coaches and Club have enabled her to get the most out of her swimming.
The Record
To date, Glover has had a short but successful career that has most recently seen her crowned 2016 National Age Champion in the 200m breaststroke. Having already racked up four national medals in the 100m and 200m breaststroke some people are now tipping Glover to be the next big name in swimming. Glover holds a staggering 20 state records and has numerous State Championships to match. She has also been selected to represent the state at State Teams Age Short Course on every occasion where she has been eligible, bringing to the team a positive and hard working attitude.
The Weapon
Glover believes the reason she has been able to produce such extraordinary results is due to her laid backed persona, which enables her to stay relaxed and focused. As far as physical abilities Glover is powered by a tremendous kick that allows her to overpower her opponents towards the back end of the race and come home with the gold.
The Future
Glover is aiming to defend her title at next year's Nationals and gain selection on the junior Australian team. Ultimately, Glover aims to make the Australian Dolphins team and is spending hours in the pool training towards her goal. Although Glover focuses heavily on high performance swimming she also understands there is more to the sport than winning. Glover is always willing to give back to her club community, ensuring she is seen as a positive role model who inspires younger swimmers.
Ashleigh is the second athlete to be announced as a part of the 2016/17 Performance Pathway Programme. Athletes have been selected based off State and National meets to give athletes and their coaches an opportunity to develop their skills to improve their performance. The 2016/17 Performance Pathway Squads will be announced this Friday.
Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions about the Performance Pathway Programme.
Hamish Rose
Performance Pathway Squad – Elite Transition
Coach: Ian Mills
Pet Event: 50m Freestyle
Age: 25
Club: Perth City Swimming Club
Where it started...
Hamish was a late starter to competitive swimming, only venturing into the pool at the age of 18, where he burst onto the scene with a blistering 50m freestyle to claim Age National gold. Hamish decided to start swimming competitively after being approached by Perth City Swimming Club coach Ian Mills who identified his natural talent during a school swimming carnival. Hamish has since developed his love for the sport and has worked hard within the Perth City swimming programme to establish the foundations that have made him so successful. Hamish attributes his success to his close working relationships with his coaches Ian Mills and Matt Magee.
The Record
Hamish has had a hugely successful career that started with a Gold medal at National Age Group Championships in the 17/18 year old 50m freestyle. Hamish has since competed in five National Open meets, making the semi-finals in the 50m Freestyle every time and the National final twice. In 2010 Hamish was selected to represent Australia on the Oceania team in Samoa. He came home with Silver in the 50m Freestyle and a gold from the 4x100m Freestyle relay.
Rose, centre, between Cameron McEvoy and James Magnussen at the 2016 Hancock Prospecting Australian Championships.
The Weapon
Standing at 198cm, with a wing span of 212cm and size 13 feet, Hamish in an ominous sight on pool deck. He uses his enormous wingspan and flipper-sized feet to power down the pool, ensuring that he finishes on top. Whilst natural ability gets you so far Hamish's real weapon is his work ethic and commitment to swimming. Hamish pushes himself to the best of his ability in and out of the pool, allowing him to commit to the lifestyle of an elite athlete whilst working full time as an engineer.
The Future
This year Hamish has made the decision to move back to his original coach, Ian Mills, as he once again looks to capture that Australian gold. Hamish's goal for the 2016/17 season is to continue to race at a National level while still maintaining his enjoyment of the sport.
Hamish is the first athlete to be announced as a part of the 2016/17 Performance Pathway Programme.
Athletes have been selected based on their performance at State and National meets, giving athletes and their coaches an opportunity to develop their skills to improve their performance.
Full details of the successful athletes accepted into the 2016/17 Performance Pathway Squads will be announced this Friday 20th May 2016.

wikiHow to Make a Philly Cheese Steak
Two Methods:Making a Cheesesteak with Real CheeseMaking a Cheesesteak with Cheez WizCommunity Q&A
A Philly cheesesteak is about as close as you can get to the culinary pulse of the city. Decadent but simple, filling without being overwhelming, this sandwich — if done correctly — is so sublime that it becomes more than just a sandwich. Although Philadelphia natives may shun any combination of bread, steak, onions and cheese that doesn't involve the infamous cheez wiz, a great cheesesteak can be made with many great Italian cheeses. Read on and buckle up for one hearty sandwich.
Makes 2 cheese steaks.
- 1 lb. hanger steak, frozen, cut very thin
- 1 large onions, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped (optional)
- 4 slices Provolone cheese or cheez wiz
- 2 or more hoagie rolls
Making a Cheesesteak with Real Cheese
1Take a partially-frozen hanger steak and cut it very thin. A thin cut of steak will cook very quickly and will let the different flavors — cheese, onions, peppers — intermingle, with your bread as the bed.
- You can cut the partially-frozen steak with a large, sharp chef's knife, or you can use a commercial meat slicer for easy preparation and uniform thickness. Most people won't have a meat slicer; a sharp knife will do just fine, even if it takes a bit longer.
2Briefly sauté onions and pepper over medium-high heat, about 5 minutes. In a large skillet coated with a neutral oil, fry the onions and (if desired) peppers until both are translucent and barely browned on the edges. Stir occasional and salt as necessary. Remove and set aside when finished.
3Coat the same skillet with enough oil and add thinly-cut steak. Allow the meat to brown without stirring or agitating. At a high enough heat — and depending on the thickness of the meat — this process should only take one or two minutes. Do not overcook.
4With two sharp spatulas, begin to chop steak into even thinner bits.[1] Hold the steak with one spatula while you chop it with the other. Once the steak is chopped into smaller bits, turn it over to ensure that it's cooked on both sides. Cook for no longer than 30 seconds.
5Add onion and pepper to meat and assemble your steak in a long line roughly the size of your roll and cover with two slices of cheese. You are going to be placing your roll directly on top of the steak, so make sure that your mound of meat is roughly the size of the roll.
6Turn the heat off the skillet and begin to melt cheese, roughly 30 seconds.
7Place the opened hoagie roll over top of the meat and cheese, forming a "roof." What kind of hoagie roll should you choose? In the Tri-state area where cheesesteaks are king, Aversa, Amoroso, and Vilotti-Pisanelli are commonly used as hoagie rolls.
- If you can't find any of these brands, however, you can try making your own Italian roll or using French bread. French bread is a little crispier than what is usually used, and it's not ideal, but it won't fall apart easily and is a pretty substantial bread.
8Slip a spatula underneath the meat and flip the spatula and roll. The contents of your cheesesteak should fit nicely inside your roll.
Making a Cheesesteak with Cheez Wiz
1Follow the same general process to cook the meat. Take semi-frozen steak and cut it thinly. Fry up onions and peppers and remove when ready, about 5 minutes. Start to cook the steak, chopping thoroughly with a sharp spatula when almost cooked. Mix your onions and peppers with your chopped steak.
2Line your hoagie roll with a generous portion of cheez wiz. You have two options here about how to heat up your roll and/or cheez wiz:
- Option 1: Toast your hoagie roll and then smother the hot bread with cheez wiz. This will give the bread a nice crispiness, but the cheez wiz won't stay hot as long.
- Option 2: Warm your cheez wiz in the microwave. Pick up melted cheese with a spatula and deposit on the roll.
3Scoop steak and onions into roll coated with cheez wiz.
Community Q&A
Can I use normal cheese?wikiHow ContributorYou may use whatever type of cheese you like.
Where can I buy the meat to have it shipped to me?wikiHow ContributorSearch online for meat providers like Omaha Steaks.
- You should get meat, toppings and cheese in every bite.
- Cheeses used vary. Provolone is just one example.
- Use fried onions and mushrooms. They're really good on a Philly.

SHEFFIELD Steelers turn their League attention to Coventry Blaze tonight, knowing their opponents are likely to also be their Play Off foes when the post-season tournament starts.
Ryan Finnerty's men know a strong performance will put a marker down during a weekend when Nottingham Panthers go into Championship mode.
Steeler Jeff Legue says: "All we can do now is make sure we win all of our remaining games and give the fans something special - and a couple of trophies - starting with the Challenge Cup final next Wednesday.
"Jonathan Phillips (capt) was right when he said our team needs some form of redemption. He was right.
"To win that final we have to go in with good form and a couple of wins this weekend against Coventry and Cardiff (Sunday) would be perfect" said Legue, who has failed to record at least a point in only one of his last eight appearances.
"It's a matter of taking some of the anger out we all have right now on those sides.
"Both weekend games will be tough, and it looks like we will face Coventry in the Play Offs. That will be a hard series and I think both teams will see Saturday's game as a tester for the series in a couple of weeks time.
"Trust me, it hurts everyone of us in the Steelers' dressing room seeing Nottingham winning the league championship.
"I've been here long enough to understand and realise how important the whole Steelers v Panthers rivalry is. I understand the history. To suggest we don't care is wrong.
"Cardiff have taken points off us this year home and away. They are a good team. They haven't qualified for the Play Offs yet and some lower teams are chasing them. They need a win or two to be safe. They won't get one on Sunday."
Coventry - who have won their last three games - and Cardiff, who are on a wretched six match losing streak, are the teams directly below Sheffield in the League table.

"Excellent treatment from the Wansbeck hospital"
About: Wansbeck Hospital Wansbeck Hospital Ashington NE63 9JJ
Posted via NHS Choices
I am a cancer patient, who , I am pleased to say, is in remission, but have six monthly check ups at the Wansbeck Clinic. Recently I discovered a lump in my lower back, as you can imagine I was concerned that the cancer had returned. I contacted the receptionist for the clinic ( who does a fantastic job under pressure and is always pleasant), to see if I could get an appointment to see my consultant re the lump. She spoke to the consultant who made me an appointment to attend the clinic 10 am the next day. I was seen by a consultant from the Wansbeck clinic who explained that they thought it was a fatty lump which is not cancerous, but to confirm arranged for me to have an ultrasound scan straight away. It was confirmed that the lump was not cancerous, to my obvious relief. To find a lump when you have not been diagnosed with cancer is scary enough, but I think when you know you have cancer and find a lump it's really scary. I cannot thank my consultants enough, the quick diagnoses and treatment I received, excellent, second to none. Thank you again Julie Peacock - a very happy and satisfied patient
Response from Wansbeck Hospital 3 years ago
Dear Julie I am absolutely delighted that you have received such an excellent levels of care from the team at Wansbeck Hospital. I understand how concerned and scared you must have felt discovering the lump and how important it must have been to have a quick diagnosis. Knowing you have been cared for in such a timely and efficient manner is so reassuring. Both the consultant and receptionist will really appreciate that you have taken the time to share how much you have valued the care and attention they have showed you. I will make that they get to see your comments. With my very best wishes for your continued health, Annie

Product Marketing Strategy
Creating a successful product marketing strategy is important in generating, not just leads, but highly qualified leads. Highly qualified leads are more likely to turn into sales and help with your ROI. But what kind of strategy is successful? Use these tips to identify whether your marketing strategy is destined for success or doomed to fail:
- Content is King: Quality content that puts your product on center stage is integral. Ultimately, buyers want solutions and highlighting how your product can become their solution is a win for everyone. Inform them, interest them, and educate them about how you are here to solve their problem.
- Be Far-Reaching: Make your message multi-channel. Don't utilize too many resources sending your message on only one front. Be sure to have a product marketing strategy that spans across organic search, paid channels, and social media. Don't limit your message to a single channel - you will unnecessarily limit yourself.
- Cater to Your Target: You address the needs of your buyers but do you do so in a way that takes advantage of how they arrived at your message? Custom tailor your message based on whether they arrived via organic search, paid channels, or social media. Different channels require different messaging. Also, different buyer journeys should be identified and your message should be consistent across their journey.
Using Captora helps you take advantage of all of these tips and gives you a clear, effective, product marketing strategy. By utilizing our multi-channel approach, and giving you the analytics necessary to react to how your message is being received we can help you craft a product marketing strategy that wins.

Co Tyrone dad's murderer and three cronies lose appeal bid
A man jailed for murdering a father as he walked home from his daughter's 18th birthday party has failed in a bid to overturn his conviction.
Senior judges threw out Martin Murray's appeal against being found guilty of the fatal knife attack on Eamonn Hughes in Dungannon, Co Tyrone, seven years ago.
They also rejected co-defendant Kevin Toye's challenge to being convicted of attempting to murder two women by driving a hijacked taxi at them as they tended the dying stab victim.
Murray and Toye, both aged 28, were among four men imprisoned for offences connected to the killing in September 2008.
Mr Hughes was stabbed in the chest in front of his family and friends as they made their way home following the birthday celebrations at a local club.
Murray was sentenced to at least 18 years in prison, while Toye was ordered to serve a minimum 10 years behind bars.
Murray's cousin, 28-year-old Liam Murray, received an indeterminate sentence of at least five years for causing an affray at the scene of the murder.
A fourth man, William McDonagh (30), was also convicted of affray and given an extended custodial sentence of eight years, with an extra five years on licence.
Witnesses recalled seeing them all emerge from a taxi to confront the group on the town's Lisnahull Road.
Martin Murray, formerly of Windmill Drive, Dungannon, had admitted having a knife but claimed it was only used in self-defence.
But Lord Justice Higgins dismissed his appeal after backing the trial judge's verdict that Martin Murray displayed aggression first.
Toye, with a former address at Windmill Drive in the town, was appealing his convictions for attempting to murder Martina Donaghy and her daughter Emma.
The court heard he was behind the wheel of the hijacked taxi which hit them at speed as they knelt around Mr Hughes. Both women had to undergo surgery for their injuries.
Toye's lawyers claimed it had been wrongly concluded that there was any intent to murder.
However, Lord Justice Higgins, who heard the appeal with Mr Justice McLaughlin and Sir Anthony Hart, rejected claims that the taxi was only taken in a bid to escape from the scene.
The appellants, who appeared by prison video-link, walked out as it became clear their challenges were being rejected.
Martin Murray, his cousin Liam, formerly of Windmill Court, and McDonagh, once of Kew Gardens in Ballymena, also all mounted appeals against their sentences.
But dismissing their cases, Lord Justice Higgins rejected claims that the prison terms were excessive.

Perhaps I can point you in the right direction as I don't know your linux skill set I will suggest Kubuntu | Friendly Computing if you have any questions about how to mount a hard drive, feel free to ask, if I am still not sleeping I will surely answer them. Also, you will need to gran an .iso image from that site, and burn it using something like cdburnerxp (pick the version without opencandy)

AS the popularity of tattoos has soared, so has the number of body art devotees who want their ink removed, and new technology just arrived in Queensland, could be the answer.
PicoSure laser is hailed as being 10 times more effective than the previous nano-laser.
Esteem Medi Spa laser technician Gosia Skowronek said the laser only worked on inked areas. It blows the ink into tiny pieces so the body can absorb it.
"It's like waving a wand over the tattoo. The laser hovers above the skin, there's no heat or burning, no tissue damage, no scarring," Ms Skowronek said.
According to consumer body Choice, about a quarter of Australians under the age of 30 have a tattoo and more than 25 per cent of that group want it removed.
Francesca Collaro, 28, of the Gold Coast, has four tattoos she desperately wants removed.
"I was only 16 when I stupidly started getting tattoos. I have two awful stars. One on each shoulder and I have already started PicoSure treatment on one of them. After just one treatment I'm starting to see it disappear," she said.
"You think very differently as a teenager than as a mature woman. My mum will certainly be glad to see them go.''
A spur-of-the-moment bet left Maddison Mack, of Cairns, with a bright red tattoo of licorice on her arm.
"Believe it or not I was 100 per cent sober at the time too," she said.
Toowoomba labourer Shaun Davey said his only regret was where he chose to get three of his tattoos - behind his knees and in his armpit.
For Lachlan Hooker, his "insanely stupid" tattoo was in homage to a favourite computer game character.
Choice has also warned about the lack of regulation in the tattoo removal industry and encourages those keen to lose their tattoos to go to a reputable operator and ask whether staff have proper medical training.
From July, new licensing laws will make it illegal to operate a tattoo parlour without a licence or employ a tattooist who does not have a licence or permit.

text: Thanks! On my model I used a plastic pen to start with, cut it to match the upper curves, and then shaped it so it flattened out towards the back. I didn't take any images of that part while working on this model, but I used the same technique on the previous model. Here are some comparisons when I attached that piece. And yeah, there is supposed to be a straight raised piece over the top for the series version of the model... I just wasn't happy with how my attempts at making it looked, so I left it off. As for what it is... I'm not sure on the smaller model. In the later images it has a hole drilled through it, so I think it was used for hanging the model. Given that, I don't think it is just a cover (like on the 11 foot model). It might be part of the dorsal... but I'm not sure. I'm hoping that when faced with building this in the same materials as the original, the reasons for why things were made certain ways will become clearer. I'm already trying to think through how I might do things and then looking at the images of the original to see if they did things in a similar way. Plus I was going to put together a series of questions for Datin... basically to see how much of the building of that model he recalls from back in 1964 so I can match it as closely as possible.

The changes to this version of the program aren't readily visible but are useful. First, Just Playlists will be offered up as a program for opening M3U playlist files from Android file manager programs, such as the ASTRO and AndroZip file manager apps. This means you can use these and other such apps to browse the contents of your microSD card for playlists. When you find one and select it, you should be offered Just Playlists as an app that can open it. The default music player is often offered as well, but if you choose it, you'll be told that it can't actually open playlist files. This is a quirk in the way the default music player presents itself to Android as a player for all audio files, even if it can't handle opening them.
The second update to Just Playlists is that it will now ask Android to scan new music files into the Android media database. In the past, if you loaded a bunch of new music onto your microSD card and used Just Playlists to play them, you may not have seen the album art and tag information for the tracks displayed during playback. That's because it takes Android a while to find new music files and scan them for this information. With the change to Just Playlists, if it is used to play a new file, it will ask Android to immediately scan the information and, once done, the album artwork and tag information will be refreshed to the Just Playlists main screen. Thus, a new track may not have this information when it is first loaded, but the screen should refresh to show the information within a short time—the more new tracks you've put on your phone, the longer it'll take.
As a handy side effect of this update, some of your tracks that never had their tag information properly displayed may now display correctly. I had one track like this. I believe the name of the track contains characters that confuse the default media scan by Android but that are not a problem for the scan when requested by Just Playlists. Kind of cool.
I'm going off on a slightly different tack for the next feature addition to Just Playlists. I'd really like to have the app handle audio streamed from the Internet. The idea is that if you have a URL for an audio stream in an M3U playlist file, Just Playlists will open the URL and stream the audio from the website. This would allow for you to create playlists of your favorite SHOUTcast streams, for instance. Implementing audio streaming will probably be a bit complicated and will take some time. So the next update beyond any bug fixes will probably be a while coming and will probably justify revving the program version to 3.x.x. We'll see what happens!
