Advanced Human Performance's Dr. Joel Seedman specializes in working with current NFL athletes as well athletes preparing for the NFL Combine and Pro Days. These videos highlight various training protocols Dr. Seedman employs to build and heighten those physical tools essential to an athlete's success--explosive power, strength, stability, agility, and increased functional muscle mass. View AHP's Services for more information about personal and group training or contact us directly to schedule an consultation and assessment.
Shoulder stability and positioning are critical for the 225 bench press test as well as overall upper body performance. I use various bottoms-up pressing variations with many of my collegiate and professional athletes to help improve this.
Most of the collegiate as well as professional athletes I work with come to me with very poor levels of stability and muscle function especially in their lower extremities and core. We spend time daily particularly when training for the NFL combine to address these weaknesses and imbalances in order to maximize their speed, power, stability, strength,and mobility.
Here are some of the collegiate and professional athletes (mainly football players) that I work with performing a very difficult variation of the single leg stand. A majority of the athletes I see have significant weaknesses and imbalances in their feet, ankles, and toes, therefore a good amount of time is devoted to correcting these issues.
This is a great variation of the single leg med ball chest pass. The formation shown in this video really challenges the feet and ankles as well as the core (rotary stability and anti-rotation). By catching the ball from the outside of your planted foot it creates a valgus force on your ankle and hips. This forces you to resist pronation (by firing your the muscles responsible for supination) essentially turning this into an anti-pronation exercise which is an area most athletes lack strength in. It's also great for teaching proper force absorption while simultaneously addressing stabilization of the lower body.
Minnesota Vikings QB Taylor Heinicke is featured here. After suffering a shoulder injury earlier in the season we used this exercise as well as many others to greatly improve the health, strength, and function of his shoulder in order to prepare him for the NFL. The bottoms-up floor press is a great exercise for improving shoulder and core stability.
Rapid Eccentric Isometrics are an advanced proprietary training technique developed by Dr. Joel Seedman used to increase proprioceptive feedback from muscle spindles with the goal of improving performance and muscle function. Rapid Eccentric Isometrics (REI's) also improve rate of force development (RFD), Rate of Stabilization Development (RSD), Rate of Force Absorption (RFA), and Reactive Stabilization as the muscles are forced to turn on rapidly to absorb high impact forces. Rapid Eccentric Isometrics should only be used once proper form has been established with standard eccentric isometrics (EI's).
This is a great exercise I use frequently with my athletes to improve pressing stability, strength, proprioception, tightness, and form.
The stretched plank particularly when performed in socks on a slick surface is one of the best core exercises and working anti-extension. Stretch as far as possible and hold 10-15 seconds.
Stability training is something I focus on with my athletes throughout NFL combine training to make they have eliminated movement dysfunction and neuromuscular deficiencies. Strength is excellent but the athletes must learn to control it with using appropriate movement patterns. Here is an example of that. Notice the amount of motor control required to perform these exercises appropriately.
This is one of the most critical drills an athlete or any individual can perform who demonstrates weak ankles especially valgus ankle collapse or pronation. Performing this drill several times per day will gradually remedy pronation and valgus ankle collapse of the feet and ankles.
Here's Al prepping his nervous system for NFL combine training. The hanging band technique forces the lifter to stabilize and control the load while correcting movement dysfunction.
Here's Marcus, an NFL veteran who's spent several years with the New York Jets. We spent a lot of time this off season improving his strength and stability. Here I have him performing an eccentric isometric variation of barbell lunges using the hanging band technique. This method forces all of the stabilizers and proprioceptive mechanisms such as muscle spindles to work overtime to balance the free hanging load.
Marcus, an NFL veteran who's spent several years with the New York Jets. and I spent considerable time this off season improving his strength and stability. Here I have him performing an overhead power hold variation using the hanging band technique. This method forces all of the stabilizers and proprioceptive mechanisms such as muscle spindles to work overtime to balance the free hanging load. The core and stabilizers really have to work overtime on this not to mention the entire upper body
Here's a few of the NFL guys I work with performing a combination of explosive power, stability, and balance.
Here's a few of the NFL and collegiate football guys I work with performing a great drill for explosive power.
Shown in the video is NFL quarterback and all-star collegiate QB Taylor Heinicke. After suffering a shoulder injury earlier in the season we used this exercise as well as many others to greatly improve the health, strength, and function of his shoulder in order to prepare him for the NFL. Rapid Eccentric Isometrics are a great way to improve force absorption, deceleration, and activation of fast twitch muscles. The pullover REI is particularly useful for activating the core, back, chest, arms, and stabilizers.
Dr. Seedman uses the slideboard quite frequently with his NFL and collegiate athletes because it's a great method for increasing core strength and optimizing spinal stabilization. The bodysaw creates extension that causes the body/spine to collapse down to the floor. Resisting that requires incredible core activation to produce significant anti-extension. Slideboard exercises can also be done with Valslide disks, feet on towel, socks on slick surface, furniture sliders, or any other combination that allows the feet to slide.
Low bar pause squats are a great movement not just for powerlifters but also for athletes including football players as it teaches the athlete to use there hips. Here's one of my athletes working on low bar technique as it's only the second time he's tried it. Typically after several sessions the movement feels locked in. If the goal is to maximize strength, hypertrophy, athletic performance, muscle function, proprioception, and overall joint health then approximately parallel for squats is best. However if you're a competitive Olympic weightlifter then dropping below parallel to catch the load will most likely allow you to achiever higher PR's. It's all about goals.
Here's NFL wide receiver Larry Pinkard demonstrating a great chest press variation. Besides working the muscles that stabilize the neck (something that's critical for football) it's also excellent for teaching proper t-spine extension as the the head is allowed to extend to a greater degree. Make sure the extension happens from the t-spine rather than the cervical spine.
Here's a great plyometric series for improving power, explosiveness, rate of force development, and force absorption. These are effective for any sport or athletic event.
Here's a few of my NFL combine athletes performing a very effective core, lat, tricep, chest, and upper body strength exercise, the dumbbell pullover. When performed as shown in the video it's one of the most challenging variations of the pullover exercise.
Tricep strength as well as muscular endurance is critical for the NFL 225 bench press test. Dumbbell Skull crushers are a great movement for targeting the triceps as well as the core especially when performed with the feet elevated as my athletes demonstrate.
Here's several of my NFL combine athletes performing a highly effective upper body superset consiting of overhead press with chains and renegade plank rows. This combination is great for improving strenght, hypertrophy, and full body stability all of which are critical for their combine test and pro day test.
The close grip hang snatch is a movement I use frequently with my athletes and NFL combine guys as it greatly emphasizes power output due to the exagerated distance the bar has to travel in order to complete the lift. It's a great movement for enhancing hip power, jump performance, and speed.
Here's one of the many variations I use with my NFL combine athletes not only for improving their bench press strength but also for cleaning up their technique and movement mechanics.
The eccentric isometric weighted pushup is a great exercise for increasing strength and size in the upper torso as well as helping improve bench press strength.
Here's some of my NFL guys training their upper body with chain military presses which is a fantastic upper body strength and mass builder.
Low bar speed squats are great for improving power, force production and movement mechanics in the hips.
Pausing midway through the pull-up is a great way to increase tension on the lats and upper back as well as the arms.
The incline barbell bench press with band resistance is a great strength, hypertrophy, and overall mass builder for the chest, triceps, and shoulders. This is one I use quite a bit with for my NFL players and NFL combine guys.
Here's one of my NFL wider receivers Larry Pinkard demonstrating his incredible upper body power as he blasts out explosive hand clap pushups very effortlessly. Hand clap pushups are a great strength, power, and explosive upper body exercise for the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core stabilizers.
The overhead kneeling medicine ball catch and pass is a great power exercise not only for the upper body but also for the core as it involves anti-extension particularly on the catch and deceleration phase.
Here's a few of my NFL combine athletes performing a great back and lat exercise. On this particular day we added the fat grips to the handles to force the athletes to work their forearms, hands, and grip strength. It also helps clean up technique as the fat grip forces the athletes to use more controlled form.
Here's some of my NFL Combine athletes performing a very simple yet highly effective core stabilization exercise Pallof press variation. This drill emphasizes anti-rotation and rotary stability while forcing all of the muscles that surround the spine to stabilize. When performed kneeling it makes the movement even more challenging.
The power hang snatch is a great speed and power movement for the hips and lower body as it teaches triple extension of the hips, knees, and ankles. Try to not let the feet overly flare during the catch. The athletes demonstrating that here is flaring and splitting the feet slightly more than I typically like to see however the hip extension is very powerful.
Offset movements are particularly effective for targeting the core musculature as well as the stabilizers as the individual has to lift the load in a controlled fashion even though one side is loaded with more weight. Typically a 10-15 pound difference between sides will be plenty. Perform several reps with the heavier weight loaded to one side then switch so the heavier weight is loaded to the opposite side. This requires incredible levels of tightness, core strength, focus, stability, balance, and overall motor control. It's a great way to add accessory movements after performing heavy lifts.
Here's a great bicep movement that also works the lower body stabilizers. Essentially you're simply holding a lunge position which makes it very difficult to perform curls in this position as it forces the lifter to be very smooth and also tilts them over slightly creating greater tension in the contracted position. It's nearly impossible to cheat on this and any use of momentum will cause you to lose your balance. Try performing 5 reps on each leg.
This renegade row variation is a great combination core and back/lat movement. It's also a great exercise for the end of a heavy workout.
The reverse band squat is an excellent squat variation that involves accommodating resistance. The allows the lifter to handle heavier weight as the bands help to de-load the hardest portion of the movement which is the bottom. Here's one of my football players performing it with very heavy weight.
Here's Ike one of my football players training for the NFL. If you're going to perform curls, doing them kneeling is a great way to target both the arms and core stability. This also forces the lifter to use very strict form as any rocking or cheating will throw you off the bench.
The farmers walk with chains is a great way to provide additional overload to the traps, upper back, core, and legs without further taxing the grip which is often times limiting factor. Here's a few of my NFL athletes performing it with 100 lb dumbbells and an additional 60 lbs of chains.
The reverse band bench press is an excellent chest movement that utilizes accommodating resistance via band assistance particularly during the stretched position. The bands provide little assistance at the top however at the bottom they provide slight weight release to allow the lifter to experience more constant tension throughout the full range of motion. This produces even greater gains in functional strength and size. Here's a few of my collegiate and NFL football players showing proper form with accentuated negatives (slow eccentrics), and pausing in the bottom position.
Here's one of my athletes crushing a 275 pound push press while maintaining control in the top position. The push press is a great upper body strength training movement for the shoulders, traps, upper back, triceps, core, and stabilizers. It's also an excellent full body speed and power movement.
This tuck jump series is a great plyometric protocol for increasing jump performance, speed, power, and explosiveness, as well as body control. Here's a few of my NFL combine athletes showing how it's done.
Here's NFL defensive end Jarius Wynn performing a very unique exercise I recently came up with to teach motor control, technique, tightness, and proper deadlifting and squat mechanics. It's also highly taxing on the surrounding musculature of the body including the legs, core, back, shoulders and more and also produces a significant degree of oxygen depletion and heart rate elevation. If you're looking for a deadlift or squat variation to improve technique as well as a movement that acts as a conditioning tool, this one fits the bill.
Here's NFL defensive end jarius Wynn working on core strength with the lying Pallof press. I've been working quite a bit with Jarius on improving core strength and his ability to stabilize his spine through enhanced core rigidity and full body tightness. This Pallof press variation is a great drill for addressing anti-rotation and rotary stability as the load really wants to rotate your body and shift it out of alignment.
The box jump and reverse depth drop is an excellent combination power movement that's excellent for improving jump performance, speed, and overall power output. The reverse depth drop is one of my favorite lower body deceleration drills as it places the body into a more hip dominant position compared to the typical depth drop going forward. As a result it's easier on the knees and reinforces optimal hinge mechanics. Here's a few of my NFL and college football players showing how it's done.
Here, I'm working with NFL wide receiver Larry Pinkard, coaching and assisting him through a great upper body power exercise that teaches acceleration and deceleration. This also wakes up all of the available fibers of the upper body as the level of recruitment needed to decelerate your body and absorb the high levels of force are significant.
Jarius Wynn, one of my NFL athletes, performing the singl- leg swap with a bumper plate. This one of my favorite single-leg swap variations as it simultaneously addresses strength deficits in the grip and hands as well as the feet and ankles. In addition this variation tends to have an immediate impact on improving balance and stability as the heightened activation of the hands and fingers produces concurrent activation potentiation (CAP). The CAP phenomenon simply describes a scenario where activation of the smallest muscles in the extremities increases neural drive throughout the entire body including activation to the core, spinal stabilizers, shoulders, hips and other muscles. As a result there's improved balance and motor control due to increased activation of stabilizers as well as immediate reduction in energy leaks.
Here, NFL Defensive End, Jarius Wynn, performs banded good mornings. Good mornings combined with accommodating resistance are a great exercise for targeting the glutes and hamstrings while minimizing stress to the low back as the bar is deloaded towards the bottom of the movement.
Here's one of my football guys working on the band-resisted bench press. The bands provide a unique form of accommodating resistance by creating greater and greater tension as you drive the weight up. It also produces a strong sling-shot effect forcing the lifter to absorb force and decelerate the load.
The yielding isometric overhead press variation is a great pressing movement for teaching the lifter how to control the eccentric phase of the lift as it forces the lifter to pause at the mid-point of the eccentric/negative lowering phase of the movement before reaching the bottom. In this video, NFL defensive end Jarius Wynn performs these with excellent form.
Here's a few of the NFL players I've had the opportunity to work with while partnering with Georgia Sports Performance, included in this video Fernando Velasco and Cordy Glenn. Here I have them performing a single arm weighted plank to improve core stability, ant-rotation, spinal alignment, rotary stability, and improved postural control.
Here's NFL defensive end Jarius Wynn performing partner resisted or manual accelerated kettlebell swings. The intensity of the deceleration forces, eccentric overload, and force absorption required during this movement is incredibly high making it an extremely effective drill for the entire posterior chain. If you need something to wake up your glutes and hamstrings as well as your postural muscles or if you simply need an exercise to work on force absorption and power output then this one fits the bill.
Here I have NFL linebacker performing barbell curl with chains. This provides accommodating resistance and constant tension so that as he curls the weight up to a stronger position (top position) he's lifting more weight due to more total chains elevating off the floor. If you're looking for an arm exercise to crush your biceps, produce increased arm growth and hypertrophy, and improve your arm strength you'll want to give this a go
Here I have NFL linebacker Adrian Hubbard performing barbell skull crushers with chains. This provides accommodating resistance and constant tension so that as he drives the weight up to a strong position he's lifting more weight due to more total chains elevating off the floor. If you're looking for an arm exercise to crush your triceps, produce increased arm growth and hypertrophy, and improve your bench press strength you'll want to give this a go.
Here's one of my NFL athletes Fernando Velasco performing a unique loaded carry variation that's excellent for core stability, shoulder mobility, rotary stability, postural alignment, shoulder stability, motor control, and full body strength.
Here's a great lower body and posterior chain superset combo demonstrated by two of my NFL athletes Fernando Velasco and Jarius Wynn. I had them use the rack pull with chains to amp up the nervous system and produce post activation potentiation allowing them to create high levels of power output and motor unit recruitment on the lighter The Zercher squats. The accommodating resistance on both exercises allows for greater overload at the top of the movements (the strongest position), while deloading the weaker bottom position. Besides reinforcing high power output and hip drive this combination is extremely effective for producing size and strength gains throughout the entire body. The rack pulls crush the upper back, low back, traps, glutes and grip, while the Zercher squat emphasize the quads, glutes, hamstrings, shoulders, biceps, upper back, and anterior core. We used a protocol of 4x4 on each movement as the goal was a combination of power, strength, and hypertrophy.
Here's one of my NFL athletes Jarius Wynn performing reverse band deadlifts by using accommodating resistance. In essence the bands assist the lifter at the bottom of the movement allowing them to use heavier weight while maintaining high levels of power output. It's also excellent for producing hypertrophy and functional size as the lifter is able to handle very heavy loads in the strongest positions.
Tucking the elbows on pushups can be difficult for some individuals to implement. Although pushups on rings, stability balls, and pushup handles typically improves this issue, the close grip variation (hands 4-10 inches apart) is one of the most effective variations for teaching proper scapular positioning, elbow tuck, lat activation, and shoulder packing. It's also a superior and suitable substitute for diamond pushups as the diamond or triangular hand placement tends to promotes elbow flare, scapular elevation, and internal rotation due to the hands rotating inward to create the diamond figure. Incorporating a straight finger position in conjunction with a close grip reinforces proper glenohumeral joint positioning rather than impairing it. Here's an example of how I use it with Minnesota Vikings quarterback Taylor Heinicke to prep him for the intense demands of the NFL season.
Here's a few of my NFL athletes including Green Bay Packers Adrian Hubbard and Larry Pinkard demonstrating close grip floor press with chains. Between the weight on the bar as well as the chains the total weight is well over 300 lbs. The close grip floor press using accommodating resistance in the form of chains is one of the most effective tricep and chest builders there is.
Looking for a movement that promotes full body stabilization especially around the scapula and glenohumeral joint then you'll want to give this bottoms-up eccentric isometric overhead press variation with partner perturbation a try. Here I'm having Minnesota Vikings quarterback Taylor Heinicke perform this on an active recovery day to promote increased proprioception, stability, motor control, mobility, blood flow, and functional shoulder strengthening to prep him for the upcoming season. I've used quite a few bottoms-up exercise with Taylor to enhance function and strength after several injuries he sustained during his college career. These have been vital in maximizing his performance, shoulder health, and ability to continue crushing the heavy iron all while being able to avoid surgery and other invasive treatments. Whether you're a throwing athlete or simply looking for a movement to improve function, stability, and strength this one's great for adding in either as a dynamic warmup before heavy upper body movements, in between heavy training days as a form of active recovery, or at the end of a workout to act as a functional finisher. Performing these seated on a ball requires greater innervation to the surrounding core musculature, hips, and feet and ankles making it an excellent full body activation drill. As an added bonus, the high levels of tension created while holding an occluded stretch produce heightened levels of mechanical tension and metabolic stress both of which are critical factors for promoting functional size and muscle hypertrophy.
Looking for an exercise to fix ankle pronation, fallen arches, flat feet, valgus ankle collapse, external rotation of the feet, and general weakness in the feet, ankles, toes, and hips, then you'll want to give this single leg Pallof press a try. Here's a few of the NFL and collegiate football players I work with demonstrating it including Minnesota Vikings quarterback Taylor Heinicke. Not only does it address issues in the foot and ankle complex but it also works on core stabilization, anti rotation, rotary stability, balance, scapular stabilization, spinal alignment, and postural control. Essentially this is a combination of anti-rotation for the upper torso and hips but anti-pronation and anti-valgus collapse of the lower extremities. If you fail to resist the valgus forces you'll lose balance by falling inward. This forces the individual to supinate their feet and grip into the floor aggressively. As a result you'll almost immediately witness the arches of the feet begin to re-form as a flat foot and fallen-arch position makes the movement feel almost impossible. To perform this simply hold a standard Pallof press position however lift the inside leg and keep the outside leg planted on the floor while maintaining proper posture. Both feet should be inline with each other and the body should not rotate or deviate laterally. Hold for 30 seconds then switch sides by facing the opposite direction to work the opposite leg. The movement can also be modified by standing on the inside leg for individuals who demonstrate excessive supination or overly high arches although this is a fairly rare issue. All variations of the single leg Pallof press can be performed with resistance bands or with a standard cable column.
Performing hang cleans from an eccentric isometric RDL position is a great movement for improving technique, mobility, hip mechanics, hip extension, power output, sensory feedback, and muscle function for all athletes and lifters. The same principle can be applied to snatches as well.
Here's a great plyometrics drill for improving power, jump performance, acceleration, deceleration, agility, lateral stability, force absorption, body control, speed, and explosive capabilities.

'EU pet projects have to stop!' Fury as Strasbourg plans £6million summer camp for youths
PLANS for a £6million "summer camp" for young people in Strasbourg next year sparked fury from Euro MPs last night.
Up to 10,000 people aged 16 to 30 will be invited for three days to celebrate Europe's "cultural diversity" and debate "ideas for a better Europe".
But yesterday Tory Euro-MPs condemned the get-together next May as a massive waste of taxpayers' cash.
And they fear the move is part of a propaganda blitz for elections to the European Parliament less than a fortnight after the event.
Senior Tory Euro-MP Martin Callanan said: "Young people want the EU to help them into work, not to fly a hand-picked selection to Strasbourg for a holiday.
"With 23 per cent of under-25s unemployed in the EU, I can think of many more useful things to spend this money on such as training and apprenticeships. At a cost per person of £1,200, this event will reinforce the view among British taxpayers that the European Parliament wastes their money.
"These pet projects have to stop. The European Parliament's authorities have really misjudged this idea and should think again.
Young people want the EU to help them into work, not to fly a hand-picked selection to Strasbourg for a holiday
"Encouraging debate and youth participation is a good thing but it should be done for a fraction of the cost, outside of election time and in a location with far better and cheaper transport links than Strasbourg."
Euro-MPs and youth organisations linked to the EU will select participants.
Travel, accommodation and other expenses will all be paid.
A European Parliament spokeswoman said the event was being funded from a series of existing "visitor programmes". She said: "The event is closely related to the Europe Day celebrated on May 9…there is no direct linkage to the elections."

Xerox Multifunction Printers have been recognised as key area for Xerox, leading to the company being named as an established market leader for printing and copying, according to the IDC MarketScape 2013 Smart MFP report.
This is the second successive year that Xerox has been given the prestigious title from IDC Marketscape, who provide an overview of the competitive fitness of IT, telecommunications, or industry-specific suppliers in a given market, as they continue to grow and develop their print technology.
According to the report, the most significant development was the introduction of the ConnectKey technology platform for Xerox Multifunction Printers.
ConnectKey is a software system embedded in Xerox Multifunction Printers and a set of solutions that responds to an increasingly mobile workforce and the need for more advanced IT security across connected devices.
Features include the ability to scan and upload documents to cloud storage, send business-critical documents directly into workflow processes and print securely and easily from any mobile device.
"Xerox's portfolio, particularly ConnectKey, is a testament to the essential role MFPs play in today's business environment," said Keith Kmetz, vice president, IDC's Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions Programs.
"This is significant as Xerox has been recognised as a leader in the managed print and document services market, and its smart MFPs play an integral role in the delivery of these services."
"Our clients needed a solution to the high cost and inefficient processes associated with managing their printing capabilities. ConnectKey is their answer and recognition in the IDC MarketScape report is a great proof point," said Douraid Zaghouani, president, Channel Partner Operations, Xerox.

Unanswered: SSRS Oracle Cursor debacle
hey guys need some brainstorming help here. we're using SSRS rpts against an oracle database using views as the datasource. we have the need to use dynamic queries. well, the normal thing for me is a ref Cursor i.e.:
using a proc and a dynamic querystring.
procedure Proc_Inv_Standard_Format(WhereClause varchar2,c_a1 OUT t_cursor)
v_strSQL varchar2(4000);
v_strSQL := 'Select * from vw_rpt_inv_standard_format Where ' || WhereClause;
open c_a1 FOR v_strSQL;
the problem is, SSRS cannot see an object.
now if i make it like this:
v_strSQL := Select * from vw_rpt_inv_standard_format;
no problem, but i return 1/2 of the dang database which defeats having the where clause.
i need a way around this.
would it maybe be possible to have two ref cursors, the 2nd one being the one that's dynamic & then just assign that to the first one which will be returned?
this seems to be a major flaw in SSRS itself that it can't do this. any ideas are appreciated.

We don't have your tables, data or requirements.
Based upon non-existent posted details, I could not identify a correct answer, if one were posted.
>the problem is, SSRS cannot see an object.
what does above line mean & why does it matter?You can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can not make them think.
The average person thinks he's above average!
For most folks, they don't know, what they don't know.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

Low Depths
Rated 5 / 5 stars
A solid throwback to 90s trance. You did a fantastic job on equalizing everything. The melodies were heard clearly even when the kick drum and bass were at their "punchiest".
I enjoyed every second of this. 5/5 :)
Music Plant Zone Act 1 (SEGA Genesis Version)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Absolute nostalgia. You perfectly rebuilt the background music from my favorite stage of Sonic Advance 2. And, on top of that, you put your own spin on it by re-imagining what it would have sounded like of the greatest consoles of all time.
A standing ovation, and a solid 5 stars to you :)
Wow, thank you. I did not think it would be that good with 20 minutes of work.

16 July 1999
McRae leads Rally New Zealand before retiring
Colin McRae and Nicky Grist were forced to retire their Ford Focus World Rally Car from today's opening leg of the Rally New Zealand having just taken the lead of this ninth round of the FIA World Championship. The Ford Martini pairing set fastest time on three special stages during a thrilling battle for supremacy with series leader Tommi Makinen which left their other rivals trailing.
Heavy rain throughout the day made the gravel stages south of Auckland very slippery but McRae and Makinen shrugged aside the weather during their battle royale in which the gap between the pair never climbed above six seconds. McRae's third stage win lifted him into a lead of 1.3 sec over the Finn before his rally came to a premature end in the very next stage.
Ten kilometres after the start of the 29.52km test, the Ford Focus stopped.
The 30-year-old Scot fired up the engine but when it died for a second time, he was unable to restart it. "It's frustrating. The car was performing so well and we'd proved we had the set-up right for these stages. We'd had a little trouble with a misfire which we thought we'd cured but it came back and there was nothing we could do," he explained.
Ford Martini team director Malcolm Wilson said the cause of the retirement would not be known until engineers had examined the Focus. "We're bitterly disappointed for Colin. He had pushed so hard to lead and to retire was a blow for him and the whole team. We always expected development problems with a car that is still relatively new but it's frustrating that they happen when the car is going so well," he said.
Team-mates Thomas Rådstrom and Fred Gallagher ended the leg in sixth in the other Ford Focus, despite rolling heavily - an accident which left the car badly damaged cosmetically but mechanically sound. They recovered well and posted fastest time on the final stage tonight, a repeat of the Manukau Super Special.
The 33-year-old Swedish driver had settled into a comfortable sixth when a tightening bend on the fourth stage caught him out. "We came to a sweeping fast right-hand bend and the car slid wide," he explained. "The rear wheel clipped a bank, causing the car to flip onto its side and then onto the roof. It rolled over and ended up back on its wheels. Fred got out to look at the damage and saw that it was OK to carry on but the car handled badly for the rest of the stage because the impact broke a wheel."
The crew changed the wheel at the finish and were able to complete the next two stages before service without further difficulty. The Ford Martini team repaired as much of the panel damage as possible and Rådstrom continued in 10th position. Within three more stages, he had regained sixth.
"I think we were slightly unlucky with the accident but the car looks worse than it is," said Rådstrom. "We're lucky the car is so strong and despite the heavy impact we're fortunate it didn't damage the drivetrain or the chassis. Tomorrow's stages suit my driving style, the car still feels really good and I think we should be able to catch some of those in front of us."
News from our Rivals
It's been a tough day for the frontrunners. Richard Burns completed an unwanted British double by retiring his Subaru after six stages. Mechanics changed the gearbox after selection problems but soon afterwards the hydraulic pressure soared and the box dumped its oil. Carlos Sainz was leading the chase of Makinen and McRae until his Toyota jammed in first gear with 10km of stage nine remaining and he lost four minutes. Freddy Loix, competing in New Zealand for the first time, dropped a similar amount after the windscreen wipers failed on his Mitsubishi. Harri Rovanpera (Seat) suffered a similar problem but daylong differential problems were of more concern to the Finn. A puncture was the only trouble for both Didier Auriol (Toyota) and Makinen. Juha Kankkunen and Possum Bourne (both Subaru) enjoyed clear runs along with Toni Gardemeister, who impressed on his first world event in a World Rally Car.
Tomorrow's Route
Another long day lies in wait for the survivors. They leave Auckland at 07.00 for the northward drive to Maungaturoto, around which they will tackle 10 more gravel stages totalling 174km - the longest competitive day of the four-day event. They return to the city at 20.00 after a total route of 589km.
Key Stage
Fred Gallagher: "The final stage will be a test of the tyres and the set-up. Having completed three stages covering more than 50km without service, two of which are repeats, we must then tackle another 11km stage for a second time. That distance without the opportunity of changing tyres will put a premium on grip from tired rubber."

He can be petty. He can be a bully. He's a career politician who fights with his elbows out and has made life miserable for more than his share of adversaries, not to mention members of his own staff.
In short, George Smitherman is not a guy who attracts a great deal of sympathy. But as he stood onstage Monday night, graciously accepting defeat and hoarsely apologizing to his supporters for letting them down, it was hard not to feel sorry for him.
Mr. Smitherman lost more than just an election in his disastrous bid for Toronto's mayoralty, which ended Monday with a loss to Rob Ford. He also lost, at least for now, much of the respect he spent almost his entire adult life busting a gut to earn.
It seems trite even to mention that Mr. Smitherman is the son of a truck driver, after he used it as a talking point at every mayoral debate. But his working-class background, his lack of a postsecondary education, has always seemed to genuinely drive him. In a political field full of lawyers and economists and others with degrees on their walls, he moved up the ladder because of some combination of street smarts, stubbornness and a willingness to work harder than most everyone else.
By last fall, he had established himself as arguably the second most powerful politician in Canada's largest province. After a lengthy stint as provincial health minister, he was made deputy premier and given control of both the energy and infrastructure ministries. He had enough files to suit his 24-hour-a-day work habits, and then some. He enjoyed the trust of Premier Dalton McGuinty, whom he was considered a leading candidate to eventually replace. And he was safe enough in his riding of Toronto Centre that he was assured of remaining at Queen's Park for as long as he wanted.
To give that all up, Mr. Smitherman knew, was a big risk. He told people that his heart said to run for mayor, but his head said to stay with the province. He ultimately went with his heart, certain he was the best person for the job.
Now, having failed to make that case convincingly, he's suddenly out of work. It would be humiliating to quickly return to provincial politics, and besides there's no easy way back. His seat's new occupant, Research and Innovation Minister Glen Murray, has no intention of going anywhere. And there's still some bad blood among Liberals because of the clumsy way Mr. Smitherman left cabinet.
It's not as though he's going to starve. Any number of private-sector firms would be happy to hire him; they won't find many people who better understand the inner workings of government. One day, he may find his way into federal politics - whenever Bob Rae vacates Toronto Centre's federal seat, or before then if Mr. Smitherman decides to take his act to a different riding.
But getting his groove back, to borrow one of his preferred expressions, might be a different story.
Before he took the municipal plunge, Mr. Smitherman was considered within political circles to be a very big fish in his city - bigger, in some minds, than outgoing Mayor David Miller. Underlying that sense, beyond the room Mr. McGuinty gave him to throw his weight around, was the belief that between his profile and his organizational skills, he could beat Mr. Miller if the incumbent decided to go for a third term.
Instead he lost to Mr. Ford, who was considered a marginal candidate when he entered the race. Rather than coming off larger-than-life, as he did during his provincial days, Mr. Smitherman seemed to shrink during the campaign, to the point where voters paying attention to him for the first time wondered what the big deal was.
It adds up to a painful lesson, for those who operate within political circles, not to take for granted that everyone else will see what they do. And it's most painful for Mr. Smitherman, who has to know that people within those circles can be very fickle.
His friends say he's mellowed since starting a family and, as he stood onstage with his baby son, there seemed to be truth to that. Still, it's probably only a matter of time before he starts trying to rebuild the hard-won political capital he gambled away.

Welcome to Dude Write!We are thrilled to have you here, whether you are a Writer Dude, a Blogger Dude, a Reader Dude or a Fanatic of good writing. If you've stumbled upon us via a link and wondering what you've gotten yourself into, our Mission Statement should explain it all.
Before we could get our swerve on, we had to get a good, deep, full body massage. You know... to relax. But not the kind with a happy ending, because that costs extra. We had to save money so we could stock up on our favorite beer. You've got to have your priorities in order. Of course one drink leads to 10, and before you know it, someones getting stuck in a thorn bush, while others are posting dirty pics of their friends on Facebook.
We really don't mean to be bad, but sometimes Beezlebob wins out, and the next thing you know, we're knocking over maple syrup factories, defacing priceless art, peeping through windows, crashing a Redskins football game, and running down Central Avenue flipping our fingers to the New York police and their silly drinking laws.
It didn't take long before the beer and sugar high had run its course, and we were left sitting around in our underwear arguing over who has the best dog in the world, bragging about what great Dad's we are, and how no one is good enough for our daughters.
It goes without saying, but a celebration fitting for a Centennial milestone doesn't come without a price. Writing hangovers can be a beast; we found ourselves praying to the gods, making promises that we can't keep. We will do it again, and a hundred times again after that, because we are Dudes that write, and that is what we do best.
And with that, we shall reveal the results:
This week we had a tie for the Diamond Man Card. In no particular order, our latest inductee into the Diamond Club is Brett of Transformed Non-conformist for his post, "Call Me Maybe." This is Brett's first, and likely not his last, trip to the Diamond Club room!
Congrats, and head on over to the Diamond Club to link up!
Our next Diamond Club winner is Kevin, of Who Woulda Thought? for his post, "Sticky Situation."
Kevin is no stranger to the big show, this being his second Diamond Club card!
Congrats Kevin!
And this week's Gold Man Card goes to, our very own Good Youngman Brown for his post, "My New Dog."
GYB has quite a collection of Man Cards in his wallet these days, and well deserved!
There are three Chairman's Choice awards this week. Damon, of The Six-Fingered Monkey, won the last weeks Dude Write Diamond Card, which qualifies him with an honorary pick for a Chairman's Choice Award.
Damon said: " I, The Six-Fingered Monkey, hereby declare the winner of this week's Chairman's Choice award to be Random Thoughts From A Random Guy, for his piece, "Not Already." As a father of two boys, I thank my lucky stars on a daily basis that I do not have a daughter... it is a fate I would wish on no man. Personally, I'm surprised Blaine isn't dead already! Great work, everyone.
Your editors also had an opinion this week:
Youngman Brown said, "My Man Card goes to Brandon from Confessions of a PLOfessional for his post "Rage Valley: Brandon Paster (QB - WAS)," in which he fantasizes about what it would be like to start in an NFL game as an average dude. This post was not only hilarious for any football fan, but also so well-written that it could get some laughs out of readers who have never watched a game of football before."
Michael Walker said, "We had a lot of good reads this week, but as a father, Ben Jackson's "Dads in Ads, and How Google Got it Right" really pulled at my heart strings. My Man Card goes to him. Things have improved from when I was a single Dad in the 1980's and 90's, but we still have a long way to go. It comforts the heart to know we have Dads like Ben out there fighting the good fight."
In the category of the "Color Commentator" Man Card, which is awarded to someone who we spotted making a particularly exceptional comment on another dude's post:
This week's Man Card goes to Daniel Nest of Nest Expressed for his comment on Chiz's post:
He said, "Well, I don't know about you, but I'm buying myself a long trench-coat with multiple inner pockets. I'm filling those pockets with brown sugar cubes and embarking on the most epic smuggling adventure of my life!"
Congratulations to all of the new Man Card winners this week. If you didn't get yours this week, come back on Thursday and try again!

Pursuing Early Financial Independence through Dividend Growth Investing and other Passive Income.

Bargain Hunting with Ross Stores, Inc.
The following tables/graphs are from my personal stock analysis spreadsheet. Data for the stock analysis was acquired from Ross Stores, Inc.'s investor relations page, Morningstar, and Yahoo Finance.
Historic Growth Rates:
Historically, owners of Ross Stores, Inc. have done very well. According to longrundata.com, ROST has rewarded investors with a total return of 806% or 23.2% annualized over the last 10 years. Looking at the historic growth rates for per share dividends, earnings, revenue, and free cash flow paints a solid historical basis.
You can read the full analysis of Ross Stores, Inc. over at Seeking Alpha.
8 comments:
I don't have any Ross Stores around my area but I am guessing they are similar to Kohls. Even though the current dividend is low, the growth seems insane for the past 10 years.Replies
The fact that there aren't any in your area bodes well for expansion there at some point. The low yield is really the only downside to this excellent company and at some point they'll probably find their way into my portfolio. The company is too awesome to not have it, especially if you have a long time horizon.
Thanks for stopping by!
Ok that is crazy but I was about to post an analysis of ROST as well. Are we all dividend investors wired in a way that we think similar things these days :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I absolutely love this company from an operational standpoint and there's still plenty more room for store count to increase. They are conservatively opening stores in new markets and then developing those markets and I like that approach.
It's funny how that seems to happen. Looking forward to your take on the company.
Thanks for stopping by!
Using David Fish's website to sort for new potential investments ROST has come up on my radar but I never did any further research. Taking a quick glance at there stats on gurufocus.com and I am thoroughly impressed! Thanks for the write-up, its caused me to do some needed research on the company!
Keep up the great work!
Dividend OdysseyReplies
ROST looks absolutely excellent from a growth perspective and they still have plenty of room for growth moving forward. One of the things I like best about them is that they are fairly recession resistant as well because more people will "trade down" to their stores to get discounted clothing if the economy tanks. Some customers won't stick but I bet a good portion of them do which leads to continued growth in the future.
Thanks for stopping by!
It seems like you found a gem in Ross. The 23.9% growth per year is really impressive, and I'm sure its been great to ride that wave. When do you think its a good price to jump into the stock? Do you plan on buying more? I'm trying to learn when to find the best deals based on the company's performance.
Thanks, and looking forward to reading more!
ROST looks excellent from my perspective and I like their expansion plans. Penetrate slowly into new markets then develop those markets with further store count increases. Then move on to other new markets. Personally I'd probably buy shares in the low $90's if it gets there. That'd still be expensive but ROST would be able to grow out of it rather quickly. There is an upcoming 2:1 split that should be coming up soon on 4/22 as well.
Thanks for stopping by!

Movie Depicts Exorcism Performed by Jindal
A short film produced in California and shown at Comic-Con 2012, a comic and pop art convention held recently in San Diego, features Governor Bobby Jindal participating in an exorcism he wrote about as a student at Brown University. While the Governor's public relations spokesman called the film "insane", it is narrated by Jindal's own words from the description of the incident he published in a university magazine. The article has been passed around every time Jindal has run for office but is receiving new attention with his rise as a potential candidate for Vice President. Shown here is the actor who portrays Jindal in "Ivy League Exorcist: The Bobby Jindal Story."

The MGA With An Attitude
Wednesday December 16, 2015
Sitting just north of San Antonio, Texas, still contemplating a trip south to Corpus Christi for a meeting with Corpus Christi MG Car Club, but having no available contact with the club. We finally called the restaurant to ask if the club had a reservation and what time? After several minutes grovelling about,the manager finally said the club had not been meeting there for a long time. So, scratch the trip south and save a couple hundred miles.
But we do have another appointment just 20 minutes away. Meet Rory Hinnen in New Braunfels, Texas. He has a nice MGB and a very nice MGA 1500 Coupe (fitted with 1600 type tail lights). He insists that I restored his MGA (meaning it would never have been completed or maybe not even started without my web site).
I was particularly interested in the twin 8-inch electric fans and lack of engine driven fan. I really like the idea of deleting the engine fan, but it depends on having an electric fan (or fans) that actually work well (with a good radiator). I recon the chat ran a bit longer than anticipated, and we kept him awake all day, and he had to go to work at night. Oops. So we were off to find another WiFi spot and future planning.
Thursday December 17, 2015
Sitting in New Braunsfels, TX with an urge to travel, we headed southeast down TX-46, enjoying full sun and warmer weather. No rush, so we were sight-seeing. There was a sign noting "Historical Marker 1-mile". Measuring exactly one mile, we saw the next sign noting "Historical Marker" with a pointing hand. Very cute, but we searched for five minutes and couldn't find it. If it was inside a building, then the whole thing may have been a tourist trap for an old restaurant.
A couple more miles along we found another historical marker. After the picture and time to read the thing, it turned out to be for an extict town, and I have no idea why anyone bothered to erect the marker.
Then we headed east on I-10 to Katy, TX, where we confirmed that one of my predictions (or wish items) has come true, gas for $1.69. Not only that, but even lower at $1.59.9. We didn't actually need gas here, but stopped to fill up and take the picture for record.
Friday December 18, 2015
Bit of a tech day, lots of email. Posted a new web page on choke cable, and another page on steering wheel. Sitting in Katy, west side of Houston, looking at the Gulf coast and plotting a route, but no fixed appointments in Louisiana yet. So late evening we point it north and haul. One stop in Waco for fuel and dinner, and late night finds us nesting in the Ft Worth area with a target for tomorrow.
Saturday December 19, 2015
Start the day at breakfast with the Terrant County Breakfast Club which is a western division of Texas MG Register. Group a dozen people at Rise and Shine Restaurant in Arlington, and have a good time for all.
This was followed by a new appointment with Bill Stewart in Benbrook, TX. He has a very nice 1958 MGA Coupe with 1800 engine, overdrive, alternator, air conditioning and a few more tricks up its sleeve.
There's another pair of 9-inch electric fans, this time pushing air through the A/C condenser, and no engine driven fan. I think the jury is still out on this one for being able to survive Texas heat in mid summer. There are halogen H4 head light bulbs, Sylvania 9003 "brighter and whiter", but the noted 148 hour life expectancy has me concerned (especially at $50 per pair). Zevo Super Bright LED bulbs are used for parking lights and turn signals (and brake lights). Hard to tell in daylight if these are bright enough, but they certainly seem to work.
The Lucas PL tripod headlamps are impressive (at least cute). These reportedly work well (although some replacement types do not). These seem to have water condensing inside, maybe asking for some attention. Next is the aluminum bottle used for coolant recovery (the gray one with the hose in it, not the pretty blue one). The screw cap incidentally makes a good cap for the MGA master cylinder.
Next up is the ammo box for storage space, sitting in the spare battery carrier (after one 12-volt battery installation). In is 6"W x 7-1/4"H x 11-1/4"L. Unfortunately it does not quite fit down through the battery cover opening when upright (a bit too long). But lying on its side it does fit (tight squeeze).

Final Day at NREL
I have not posted yet that I have found a job in the Seattle area as a Research Scientist at Microsoft, mostly because I have been really busy as a result. More details on this will be coming.
Today is my last day at NREL. The day will be filled with getting signatures for the check-out procedure (I am calling this the Treasure Hunt because it involves running all over the campus looking for people) and social events with group members.

The Trans Lebanon Ultra 095/04/2009
Jackson Griffith & John Tyszkiewicz
5 April 2009, Beirut (Lebanon) – This is the story of a truly epic journey, a once in a lifetime experience for two Brits to run across a Middle Eastern country, to stage a unique running event with the backing of a nation to bring support to a most noble humanitarian cause, the SOS Children's Villages. The ultimate success of what was grandly titled the Trans Lebanon Ultra 09 (TLU) project proved to be a master class in teamwork, an example of what can be achieved when a collective group of like minded individuals comes together with a single vision, with unwavering determination and endless enthusiasm to see the common goal achieved.
Lebanese SOS Youth group capture the hearts of the Irish
Compiled by Guy Jones
Irish Junior Minister for Enterprise Mr John McGuiness, Father Willie Purcell and the Irish Lebanese Cultural Foundation Board members Christine Coman and Guy Jones met on Sunday the 27th of July 08 a youth group from Lebanon currently visiting Ireland, hosted by the Arts for Peace Foundation and the Irish Defense Forces.
Developing Arab standards for out-of-home child care
In 2004, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child called for the development of Guidelines for the Protection of Children without Parental Care. A group of NGOs, of which SOS-Kinderdorf International is an active member, worked on a draft of those Guidelines. After a one-year drafting process, those draft guidelines were presented to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child and served as a basis for discussion at a governmental expert meeting held in August 2006
Help for Refugee Families.
During the 33 days of war, the Lebanese Association of SOS Children's Villages paricipated in the relief work and helped the refugee families as follows:
The SOS Children's Village in Sferai, in coordination with the SOS Family Strengthening Programme and Caritas, provided baby milk, food, diapers and medicine to 252 children below the age of 5 belonging to 175 displaced families. Moreover the children of the SOS

Contrary to information from Austrian media, SOS Children's Village Ksarnaba will not be evacuated today. Conditions around the SOS Children's Village remain critical, however, and an evacuation has not been ruled out.
There are currently 15 children and six co-workers at SOS Children's Village Ksarnaba, which is approximately ten kilometres north of Zahle. Since the fighting began in Lebanon, grenades and bombs have fallen very close to the SOS Children's

We need to have an honest conversation about white privilege. The current one just isn't working.
Yes, there is such a thing as white privilege. It's quite common for a white thief to get away with simply paying back his victims while a black person who does the same thing get 3 to 5 years in prison and ten years of probation.
But the myth is that privilege is somehow confined to one particular race.
There's just something funny about the Black Lives Matter activist drinking a $12 cup of coffee while typing away on his $2000 laptop about the horrors of white privilege. The white kid in Boone County, West Virginia where they are about to close one third of their elementary schools might wonder where his white privilege has run off to. He might even have something to say about Activist Privilege.
I did my graduate work at an evangelical seminary. During my time there, I got to know guys who were certifiable geniuses. While I was writing papers just do get them out of the way, the papers these guys wrote were destined to one day become books. It was interesting to hear what these guys were going to do next. Many of them planned on continuing their education and getting doctoral degrees. They dreamed of getting accepted to Yale or Harvard or some other prestigious east coast school.
Most of them didn't get in. But why? It wasn't because they weren't smart enough or didn't work hard enough. Their rejection was due to the fact that those prestigious schools had a quota of how many evangelicals they would accept into their school of theology. My genius, evangelical friends suffered from Liberal Theology Privilege.
That's one reason why our current conversation about white privilege needs to change. It acts as though no one else is or can be privileged.
The current remedy to white privilege is guilt. Beat yourself up for being white and avoid commenting on any social issues for a while and maybe, just maybe, you can appease the political correctness gods before it's too late.
The Bible gives us a better remedy.
Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:11-13 (ESV)
Contentment is the enemy of greed and the opposite of guilt. When I am content, I rejoice with my neighbor when he works hard and saves wisely to pay cash for an automobile that I can't afford. Contentment prevents me from looking down on him and from thinking that I'm somehow better than he is simply for having less.
But we aren't content. We don't know how to live when we are brought low. We think that everyone else needs to be brought low with us and that if they don't they are evil. And we don't know how to abound. We place our identity in what we have and we always want more. Without contentment, whether you're poor or rich, white or black, male or female, you will always be greedy. Always.
There is a secret to successfully navigating our way through failure, success, privilege and greed.
Doing all things through Christ's strength wasn't written to help football teams win state championships. It was written for entitled people who think that they deserve more and who are tempted to hate others who have more. It was written for you and me.
In one way or another, we are all privileged. And we'll do anything we can to both deny our privilege and keep it.
Jesus took a different approach with his privilege.
He gave it up. He didn't give up being God. He didn't give up his personhood or the essence of who he is. He just gave up his privilege.
Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Philippians 2:4-8 (ESV)
Maybe if we followed that example, instead of living in a perpetual state of guilt or self-righteousness, we would all start getting along a little better. All of this guilt and self-righteousenss is preventing us from loving one another. It's a breeding ground for hate. But if we live with the mind of Christ (Philippians 2:4), we can begin to love our neighbor and pursue his good. Otherwise, when injustices happen to him, we'll just think that he got what he deserved.
If you want to play the I'm Bigger, Badder, Richer and More Important Than You game, you'll never win. There is always someone with a little more. Even Donald Trump can't win that game. The same is true of the other game, the one called, I'm More Abused, Harassed, Rejected and Poor Than You Are. There is always someone with a little less. You're not going to win.
So instead of basking in your privilege or seething at the privilege of others, be content with who you are and where God has you. Come to grips with the fact that, no matter your color, you are privileged. But instead of comparing your privilege to others, follow the example of Christ.
Put it to the side.
And move toward others in love.

I should have listened to the bad reviews!
By David Kachel
from Bisbee, Arizona
Comments about Hanco Ink Hanco Oil Based Etching Ink:
The bad reviews were correct, but I had to see for myself. Unusable as etching ink. Way too runny. The "Dark Brown" ink had no brown to it, at all. It is just black. Cans are only 3/4 full, and leak! A mess to even get open.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hanco Ink - blue black etching ink
By Xavier
from San Pablo, CA
Hanco makes inks that are intense in color. They make good inks for printmakers. Their inks are easy to apply with just the right amount of oil - not too wet, not too stiff.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Hanco Oil based etching inks~ the best I have used
By antoniozart
from Friday Harbor, Washington
Hanco etching inks are loose, more fluid from the can than all other inks I have used over a span of 25 yrs of printmaking. They require only a few drops of oil for intaglio work, and can be used for relief work as well with the addition of a little Mag-carbonate. The colors are beautiful and mix to any hue. I also purchased etching silver and transparent base, the latter makes over-printing of plates easy without getting results that are too opaque, and the former turns transparent colors into beautiful, subtle metallic hues that add a whole new quality to the colors. I will try their other metallic colors soon, such as Copper and Gold. The prices are the very lowest I have found. A great bargain and a great product! I would recommend these inks to any printmaker.

Hanco Process Color Etching Inks
I used Daniel Smith oil based etching inks for decades, but they are no longer producing oil based etching inks. After searching for alternatives, I found Handco Inks to have the best palette for the best prices. I am making multiple plate color mezzotint engravings, and needed transparent inks, and chose the four process colors from Hanco. They have a fabulous consistency, much more fluid than other process inks I have used. Their transparency is superlative, and I will be purchasing some of their regular etching inks to try them out as well. Great find. Highly recommended to those printmakers who love mixing their own secondary and tertiary colors.

The worst etching ink ever
By inky
from Los Angeles
Teaching etching to college studentsNo so great. Runny, messy and a real awful in a student work space. It was more like relief ink. I will not order it again.

Not a good choice
By Lucia
from Clinton, NJ
I bought it because the price was so much lower. It did not work for my application.I bought 3 colors, one of which, the white, had its contents smeared on the outsideof the can. When I opened it I discovered the can was about half full. I assumed it hadleaked out and been wiped. The tape was intact.The second problem was that the ink was much too liquid. I tried adding calcium carbonate totighten it up, but it just wouldn't get viscose enough for me to use.This ink is so liquid that it would have very specific applications such as viscosity prints.Sorry. I won't buy it again.
Merchant response: We are sorry to hear that this ink did not meet your expectations. The container sounds like it may have been damaged or defective. Our Customer Care team would like to assist you with a return or exchange, and will be contacting you shortly.

Hanco Oil Based Etching Ink: Silver
By Cee
from Portland, ME
The silver is a nice cool grey, very opaque, more pearlescent than metallic. It sits on the cotton paper I was using incredibly well, and has equally high-visible on black paper as well as white. Wonderful body, mixes with mag carb very well for thickening when necessary. No issues at all. The prints turned out beautifully.

When was the last time you took out an elderly family member for some fun?
April is Financial Literacy Month and we've found a few tips to help the senior in your life to stretch their dollar.
1. Order medication in bulk Ordering a 90-day supply of medication by mail often costs less than hitting up your local pharmacy once a month. When you use this method for long-term meds (generally what these mail-orders are designed for—check for restrictions), you can also get automatic refills so you never run out.
2. Skip the doctor when you can Retailers such as Walgreens, CVS, Target, and Walmart now offer in-store health clinics in many locations. These places are best for run-of-the-mill problems such as splinters or an earache, or to get a flu shot. If you don't have insurance, you can save big—$60 for a visit compared with $1,000 or more at the emergency room. But see your regular doctor for chronic conditions, serious symptoms, or broken bones.
3. Get…

Yes it's true - babies sleep better, and for longer, in merino. As babies spend a great deal of the early days sleeping its important they have quality, natural clothing to wear. Using merino against babies skin helps them sleep by regulating there temperature. Skin is a barrier through which virtually all the body's heat is loss or gained. Children find it particularly challenging to regulate temperature - here's the science part - because they have a higher surface area to mass ratio than adults. So that is why choosing merino and natural fibres for sleeping (especially in the early days) is so important.
To try and maintain a constant core temperature regardless of external factures merino wool will trap any heat lost from the body in the fabric surface acting like insulation. Then when the body temperature drops, the heat will be pushed back into the body.
Feeling cold is one of the most commonly overlooked reasons for babies waking during the night. So therefore it makes sense that if they are wraped and sleeping in merino, and it is doing the job of regulating there body temperature, then they will not wake up because they are too cold or too hot. - AND THATS A BEAUTIFUL THING.Back to Blog Articles
I have used several different types of swaddles (or wraps as you call them) over the course of my 3 children, but I just had to email you and let you know that I love your one the most. It really is so easy to use and fits for much longer than the other merino ones I had. I have finished having children now, but I will be telling anyone who needs a swaddle for a baby to buy your ones.
Auckland, New Zealand
Thank you for my sleep. I LOVE YOU! I received one of your baby merino swaddles for a baby shower gift, and finally my beautiful baby girl slept through for more than 2 hours at night. I had always wrapped her, but she always managed to get her arms and legs out and then wake up. Having the pocket thing meant she could not get her legs and feet out, then I just had to wrap her arms, and she stayed like that all night long. I will be getting a sleeping bag very soon

Just wanted to say how awesome your sleeping bags are!!! Quality make and TOUGH! I purchased the twin pack (1 winter & 1 std weight) I was a bit dubious about spending so much but has been the best product I've bought for our little girl & worth every cent! so nice to know she's snug as in her bed .... Easy to wash too. Would recommend your products over and over again.... And great they are still made in nz!!! Thanks again

You wouldn't think a Thanksgiving food drive would be controversial.
But a Walmart in Canton, Ohio this month inadvertently sparked an uproar by putting out collection bins with a sign "Please donate food items so associates in need can enjoy Thanksgiving dinner."
Some Walmart employees and observers saw the food drive as proof that that the mass merchandiser didn't pay livable wages.
But Walmart said the sentiment behind the collection bins — a decision made at the store level — was twisted out of context. The bins were for employees who might be enduring tough circumstances, such as losing a home to a fire or other misfortune.
"What these associates are doing is making sure if there's someone out there with a special, critical, unforeseen need, that they're being taken care of," Walmart spokeswoman Kory Lundberg told TODAY.com. "They're getting what they need and they're getting support."
Tiffany Beroid of Organization United for Respect at Walmart told Today.com:
"As Wal-Mart workers, we do come together and support each other, but we shouldn't have to collect food from or for each other when our employer is making $17 billion in profits. Wal-Mart should publicly commit to pay us $25,000 a year," said union-backed OUR Walmart's Tiffany Beroid. "We don't want handouts, we want an employer that pays us enough to cover Thanksgiving dinner for our families."
Do you think Walmart deserves the heat it has taken for the food drive? What are your thoughts on minimum wage?

This villa was once a residence belonging to the Buonaparte family and is located in the countryside that extends eastward from the town of San Miniato, Tuscany. The setting is that of a time that once was, and you can still take in the peacefulness of the past as you overlook the hills covered in olive trees, small vineyards and farmhouses dotting the hillsides. The Tuscany villa rental measures approximately 230 square meters and perfectly suits families or groups of friends, allowing you to alternate between peacefulness and relaxation and trips to the cities of art such as Pisa and Lucca, as well as to Florence and Siena, which you can easily reach by taking the Florence Pisa expressway or the provincial roads that wind their way through the countryside. In the neighboring area there are also several outlets where it is possible to buy leather articles, such as jackets, bags and shoes. The guests have at their disposal a fenced in garden, equipped for outdoor dining in the area in front of the villa; just a short distance below, approximately 120 m away, is the swimming pool (5x10, 1.5 m deep) (01/05 30/09) surrounded by an olive tree grove and a pretty lawn. 2 baby beds and a highchair are available on request, as well as maid service, to be paid for on location.
