Why 97% Of Those Trying To Get Lean Are Following The Wrong Advice And
Special Report
From the Desk Of William D. Brink …
Welcome my name is Will Brink, and If you're interested in the kind of
fat loss system, that doesn't require you to turn into some kind of social
hermit, that you can stick to within a normal life, and eat normal healthy
tasty foods on , then keep reading.
If you're looking for a system complete with in-depth
information on almost every fat loss supplement on the market,
pre made meal plans, an online forum so you can discuss
your progress with others following the same program, built in meal planners
and much more then this is probably the most important web page you'll
read in quite some time.
I've you've failed to get in shape before due to time constraints,
lack of results or motivation then this web site and my information
could transform your life. This program has transformed those who failed
on diets before into all new people with a zest for live, improved confidence
and lets be honest here, hot new bodies.
If you're looking for an flexible
program that works for dieting newbies all the way though to those
looking to get ripped, then you're in the right place.
The Big Secret – One Size Does
NOT Fit All
Ok, the truth is …. there is no secret, infact this is
probably one of the very few web sites you'll come across that isn't going
to fill you with marketing terminology or hype.
What I will say is this, most diets pay NO attention to
critical factors such as age, sex, height, activity levels, they literally
just provide a standard set of calories based on your bodyweight and somehow
miraculously expect people to lose weight and get lean.
Yes you might
lose a little weight for a few weeks but past that, forget it, if
the diet is not specific to the persons body type, age, sex, and numerous
other factors, it won't deliver results , simple as that.
This program allows you to create a
diet to you as an individual, that's why people are achieving such insane
results and if there is such a thing as a "secret to fat loss",
then this is it..one size does NOT fit all.
Success Even If You've Failed
Time and Time Again
Below are just a handful of people who have sent me their
photos and fat loss stories after following my program for at least 12
Many of them had failed numerous times before, but with
the right diet, exercise program and supplements they finally achieved
their goals, and even more incredible some went from fat to flab in just
a few months.
They include individuals holding down a 55+ hour a week
job, a mum looking after three kids, people from all ages and backgrounds,
no different from you or I. You can read more about their stories and
details later on this page.

Here's The Story Of How I Created
A System To Virtually Blow Torch Fat Away
You see, for a long time my entire lively hood depended
on it. Many years ago when I had just started writing for magazines
and so forth I used to supplement my income getting fitness models and
bodybuilders into shape for competitions.
As my clients starting winning competitions and modeling
contracts, I ended up getting a very good reputation for being
"the man" to work with. This ended up with everybody
from rich businessmen and women to Olympic athletes, pro golfers and everybody
else in between coming to me for advice on how to get lean.
This focus on fat loss, ended up translating into more and
more research, more and more study, I also concentrated on what worked
for the average guy and woman living under the normal conditions of working,
looking after kids perhaps, basically people with not a lot of time on
their hands and those not wanting to have to become scientists to understand
how to lose fat.
- How do I lose fat Will ?
- What do you think of this supplement?
- How do I get a six pack?
Over my life time I must have received those 3 questions,
or some variation of those 3 questions, somewhere in the region
of 100,000 times!
This popularity led to virtually hundreds of faxes,
letters, and in the last ten years, emails. I would constantly get
the same questions :
It was impossible to keep up with, combined with the fact
I was also spending hundreds of hours a month researching supplements
educating consumers on what worked and what didn't, I was spending more
time helping people and answering emails and such than I was working.
Something had to change,
so I thought to myself….
"I have worked with all kinds
of people from all walks of life, I have an incredibly powerful
and proven fat loss diet at my disposal, I know how to get people
into amazing shape, it's time to put all this information down into
an easy to read format and let people start transforming their own
bodies. "
At this time I had collated literally hundreds of folders
full of paperwork from clients. I had all the diet sheets, progress reports
and data from my clients, I had categorical evidence my system worked.
I just needed to get it down on paper in an easy to read format.
And that really is how the Fat Loss Revealed system
was initially created.
After literally thousands of hours of in the trenches real
world experience of what works, and hundreds of hours of writing and thousands
of dollars spent on creating the unique members area to ensure people
stayed motivated on my program, Fat Loss Revealed was born.
It's a program which pulls on 20 years of study
and real world experience of getting people into tip top condition.
I finally created a system I knew from my clients worked like a charm,
if people followed it as I laid it out, they got rid of their belly fat
and end up in the best shape of their lives, young or old, male or female,
simple truth was…it works.
So Will, What's
Covered In The Fat Loss Revealed Program…
Further down this letter covers a lot of general information
about what the other modules include but I wanted to put a special highlight
on the Supplement Review module as it's
completely unique.
Supplement Reviews
& Advice
The Fat Loss Revealed manual is unique in this department,
so much so, I made a huge mistake by not selling it as a stand alone product.
It's that good and that unique to this market.
It's utterly unique in this industry to have an insider
like myself spill the beans on which supplements work and which don't,
and I include an entire book's worth of supplement reviews with
my Fat Loss Revealed manual.
In the supplement module, I
review over 50 weight loss supplements; I give you an overall supplement
scoreboard and full information on every supplement
I give a simple thumbs up or down along with an overall
rating of each supplement with comments about whether the supplement may
be useful for fat loss and or health, as well as dosages, timing, warnings,
much much more.
All these Supplements below are reviewed in
With over 400 brand name supplements, such as the
ones below, reviewed in the Fat Loss Revealed private members area with
members own feedback:
Feedback On
The Supplement Module…
If you know medical doctors or top level researchers who tend to be a
very conservative group by nature, you know getting them to put
their recommendation to a book on supplements would be pretty much impossible.
They have too much at stake knowing full well most reviews are biased,
poorly researched, or designed to sell supplements.
However, I received the following reviews from Doctors on the supplement
module of my book, which I think clearly underlines how brazenly honest
each of the reviews is.
Fat Loss Revealed Doctor Testimonials…
Brink's information on weight loss supplements and diet is a terrific
tool with which to help the lay reader navigate the often conflicting
and confusing information behind weight loss supplements.
weight loss industry is replete with misinformation and outright
deception in advertising but Will Brink's info analyzes the data
behind weight loss supplements and supplements in a straightforward
and easy-to-read manner that should be invaluable to the reader.
get "the real deal" behind the marketing hype to determine
which supplements have the scientific data to back up their claims!
Don't fall for the hype- let Mr. Brink's give you the information
you need to make informed decisions about weight loss supplements
and nutriceuticals! "
Joyal MD
Any number of books
on the topic of weight loss bedazzle with theory, just as numerous
weight loss products beguile with promises to deliver magical results.
Fortunately, Will Brink's compact and timely volume clears out the
confusion and the hype.
Because Brink
not only is an established author on health and fitness topics,
but himself also a personal trainer, he knows what works and what
doesn't. His information would be valuable if all it contained were
the feedback from individuals who have already tried all the fad
diets and the magic potions.
Of course, the
nutrients and anti-obesity products are described in clear and direct
language which, nevertheless, is scientifically accurate. However,
again, the real value of the book lies in the fact that the theories
and the products all have histories. This volume is the condensed
experience of others who have been there. Read it so that you can
avoid their mistakes while repeating their successes
Dallas Clouatre, PhD,
"I'm always very
skeptical when it comes to information about supplements. I have been
working with athletes for years, and now I know what works in the
real world and what doesn't, thanks to Will.
"The problem is: Most of the information available in print today
is much too uncritical when it comes to useful information for the
hard-training athlete.
"Will's book is
one of the few exceptions. In a straight forward and honest manner,
he describes nearly all the fat loss supplements available today
in an easy to read format.
"Will's book gives the reader basic background information on every
supplement and judges its effectiveness not just by medical studies,
but as well by his own experiences with athletes and others.
"A person who
knows his stuff, has a scientific background, and plenty of experience
working with people for over a decade, is hard to find today. Will
is one of these exceptions, and if you are looking for unbiased
information about fat loss supplements without any marketing hype
to decide for yourself what to buy, this is definitely for you.
"It will save
you money that you would otherwise have spent on worthless supplements
in hope of achieving your goals. Highly recommended."
Albers M.D.
Will Brink's
information is a valuable guide for anyone who wishes to lose weight
without wasting a lot of money or time trying over-hyped but ineffective
diet supplements.
Brink clearly
explains what works and what doesn't and why. Unlike most authors
who simply spout research findings or anecdotal reports.
Brink melds both
scientific evidence and real-world experience to give you an unparalleled
grasp of this subject that is certain to help you in your quest
to build a better body, his fat loss diet is one of the soundest
and result producing I've seen.
Dr. Kevin Pezzi M.D.
"Few disciplines
of human health and wellness are plagued with as much unscientific
conjecture and over hyped marketing as that of nutrition, particularly
nutrition for fat loss.
During roughly
the past decade, Will Brink has emerged as one of the few voices
of reason in this particular industry.
Fat Loss Revealed
is centered on presenting effective, evidence-based, hype-free dietary
and exercise principles in a user-friendly manner. Fat Loss Revealed
is a must for anyone looking to achieve a leaner, stronger, and
healthier body." I use the FLR system myself and can recommend it.
Dr .Evan
R. Peck, M.D
Ok Will, So Give It To Me Straight Will,
What Should I know About Fat Loss Revealed?
Firstly It's A Straight forward Realistic Program
Fat Loss Revealed is laid out in almost
1-2-3 type steps. A blueprint that if followed provides anybody
of any age a flexible system they can follow to drop belly fat, get a
lean flat stomach and improve general health, or if you want to take it
all the way, a ripped six pack.
It's a Program That Maintains Muscle While Losing Fat
You know what, losing "weight" is easy, but weight also includes
water and muscle and the very last thing you want to do is lose muscle!
Muscle is what gives you the toned lean look you're after. Most
other programs are "weight loss" programs, not FAT loss programs!
A Program That Explains Exactly What You Need To Eat To Lose Fat Permanently;
Protein, Carbs, Fats, Vitamins, Minerals, All Explained.
Fat Loss Revealed tells you EXACTLY what you
need to eat, how much to eat, what type of foods, it even gives
you pre made diets which you can change around if you don't like the foods
listed. I give an allowed food list you can choose from, there's no need
to live on fish or chicken breasts; nature provided us with hundreds of
healthy food choices, and Fat Loss Revealed takes advantage of that.
Ripped or Just Lean ? – Standard or Advanced Dieting Modules.
The program contains a standard diet which is fine for most people who
just want to shift fat and get a flat stomach, but if you want to go crazy
and get that ripped look , you need special techniques for shifting those
last few pounds so I've included an advanced module covering some more
complex techniques for shifting those last few pounds of fat. Such as
carb cycling, calorie cycling, re feeds and more.
A Program that Fuses Resistance Training with Cardio, A Diet Plan &
Motivational techniques, all in one program like no other
Because no matter what anybody tells you, the best way to achieve a lean
body for life is to follow a sensible – but targeted- eating plan
while following a scientifically proven workout program. It's really
as simple as that.
A Program That Isn't Going to Blow Smoke Up Your You-Know-Where
Look, I'm not going to feed you some BS about losing 20lbs in a week,
or pretend you only need to workout for 10 minutes twice a week. That
kind of junky information may be the norm in this murky industry but it's
not my style. This is a scientifically validated and fully tested Fat
Loss System which creates real tangible long term results for it's users.
That's what it does, and I'm not going to dress it up and pretend you
can do zero exercise or just pop a pill and magically look the way you
want to, because you can't, sorry. That's the truth…
A Program That Doesn't Starve You To Death
I don't subscribe to the ultra low calorie diets, those diets expect you
to survive on calories so low, it's flat out dangerous. Such diets
eat up muscle like crazy, kill your metabolism and slow down fat burning.
Put simply, such diets suck.
Dropped 30 Pounds!
And 7″ of His Waist.
Total Weight : 168(+) lbs
Current Stats
Total Weight : 138 lbs
was obvious to me that I had to do something about my weight problem.
The problem was I did not know where to start, what to eat, what
exercise for my body-type, or what supplements worked or didn't.
I had tried pretty much every diet and ebook system I could find
online, but basically ended up giving up frustrated with my lack
of progress, I had almost given up on finding something different
that would actually make a real difference.
the end I came across Will's Fat Loss Revealed , program purely
by accident from a recommended link on a fitness web site, I liked
Will's straight up style and a quick search around the web told
me he was somebody I could trust.
purchased FLR in April and immediately knew this was a real fat
loss program with a diet and nutrition plan I could stick to.
program is like a "fat-loss blueprint" that clearly lays-out
on a "step by step" basis how to lose fat whether the
goal is for better health (my initial goal) or getting ripped.
It covers everything
needed to achieve fat-loss Including the essentials like nutrition,
fat loss supplement reviews and advice, on-line meal planner, work-outs
exercise videos. But to be honest the most amazing part of the FLR
system is the advisors and other people following FLR found in the
members area on the private forum and so forth.
The advice forum
is staffed with highly competent advisors that truly care and are
ready to answer and advise on the most confusing question(s) about
supplements (that do and don't work!) and fat-loss methods.
I was honored
when the man himself, Will Brink, who writes for popular magazines
and who has trained world class champions answered questions that
I posted on the forum.
I have definitely
surpassed my initial goal of just "loosing extra baggage"
I've achieved a condition I just didn't think possible thanks to
Will Brink's information."
Sergio Lares
A Program That Finally Ends the Confusion Between Different Approaches,
an End to the "Which Is Best?" Question.
Fat Loss Revealed takes the very best elements of nutrition, cardio, resistance
training, supplementation and motivation. I base all my work on science
and real world feedback. When you read something in my program you can
be assured it's based on what's been proven to do the job in the
least amount of time with the greatest results, for long-term fat loss
and good health with no more confusion.
A Program Based On Everyday Foods So You Can Eat With Your Family
It's a fat loss program that allows you to eat normal foods available
from any food store purchased all around the world. No special brands
or special foods, just plain old fashioned good quality healthy food that
you and your partner can enjoy without cooking half a dozen separate meals
each day for everybody in the household.
Program Which Details How To Avoid Hitting Plateaus Or How To Overcome
Them – So You Don't Give Up.
FLR workouts, and the advanced dieting section, show you how to constantly
break past any weight loss plateaus.
Workout at Home Or In A Gym
Fat Loss Revealed provides training programs for all levels of fitness,
including gym based programs, but also workouts you can do in your home
with bodyweight exercises, all complete with pictures to show you the
proper form for each exercise.
A Program That Delivers Results Quickly So You Stay Motivated.
I'm a big believer that consistency – really keeping people
on track -is the most vital aspect of any well founded program; that's
why FLR delivers results as quickly as possible without sacrificing your
health, wealth or lean muscle tissue. As you can see on this page, we
have people who achieve amazing results in 12 weeks, but many experience
meaningful results in the mirror in as little as two.
A Program based on current research and real world feedback, not hype
and hoopla.
FLR is based on over 20 years of research, and I'm constantly tuning
and tweaking it on a consistent basis to take into account new information,
new small changes to maximize results, all based on the latest data and
real world user results vs. hype or exaggerated "lose 20 lbs in 10
days" rubbish used by so many programs out there. Way to many programs
promise the world and deliver disappointment minus your money.
A program which doesn't' condemn all supplement usage out of hand
While I do knock many so called "proven" fat loss supplements,
some supplements can help in the battle against the bulge and I review
those and explain exactly why they work and what benefits they have not
only for fat loss but for overall health and well being.
Totally Flexible for All Ages & Requirements
It's designed for men and women of all ages, I have success stories from
teens to 75 year olds. FLR has different workout programs and diets you
can use depending on your requirements.
Here's What Fat Loss Revealed Is NOT!
not about spending your entire life working out at the expense of everything
else and eating nothing but bland chicken breasts 24/7.
It's not about having to use dozens of fat loss pills or potions. In fact,
in the supplements module of the program I tell you exactly how to spot
scam supplements, and I review over 50 fat loss supplements, most of them
come up empty I'm afraid. How much money could you save just knowing what
works and what to avoid?
It's not about you having to buy special equipment. In my book you won't
find links to buy special equipment, in fact in my book I don't try to
sell you anything.
It's not about ab rollers, infomercial gizmo's , getting you to buy more
stuff once you purchase.
It's not about pretending you can achieve the body you want by simply
popping a pill, and ignoring the basic fact you need to do some exercise
to get to your final destination.
It's not about fad diets, celebrity diets, ultra low carb, low fat, low
calories and so forth, the diet is based on sound, scientifically supported
and tested research .

Introducing the
Fat Loss Revealed Members Area…
The Ultimate Motivation Tool
I could go on telling you how amazing the Fat Loss Revealed manual is
until I'm blue in the face, but I think I've already given you enough
information to make an informed decision on that, so let's move
on to what's seriously unique about this program.
Let's face it, people need more than an E-book to succeed.
They need motivation, they need others to support them; social support
is a vital component to success overlooked and under appreciated by most
other programs.
Let's say you have a slow week and don't lose much weight, and doubt
starts to set in, then you start to lose motivation. That can be the start
of a downhill path.
As a personal trainer for many years, I knew I had to ensure I dealt
with the issue of keeping people focused and motivated in any program
I created, so what did I do decide to do ?
I had my team of computer geek's create the Fat Loss Revealed
(FLR) private members area, and when you order the Fat Loss Revealed
manual, you automatically get VIP access into the private members area.
First and foremost, the members area contains a highly moderated
and organized private discussion forum where you will find literally thousands
of other members following the FLR diet, so from now on, you'll have other
members to chat with and discuss your issues and get your questions
In addition to that, I'm on there every single day along
with my professional team of Fat Loss Revealed program advisors. This
is a big deal my friend, having one on one hands on support and encouragement
every single day, it makes all the difference. You'll get free access
for a year when you purchase my Fat Loss Revealed manual.
And let me just add a note about my advisors: unlike the moderators for
most other forums who are bored college kids with minimal knowledge, my
advisors were hand picked by me, and they consist of food scientists,
medical doctors, and top level trainers.
Stuff You Can Do There
And much much more…
So you'll never be stuck again, you'll
be able to follow the plan and ask questions every day if you need to,
plus get feedback and motivation from other members.
In addition, you can read thousands of pages of information on fat loss,
view over 300 brand name supplement reviews – all with member feedback
– and much more. I can't do justice to explaining
all the motivational material found in the members area.
You can ask anything you want; it doesn't even have to be about Fat Loss
Revealed. We deal with all kinds of health issues, working out, keeping
fit while on the road; literally hundreds of topics are discussed.
In addition, I've created a number of very cool tools you can use in
the members area :

how bad I let myself go (without my head in it because I was too
ashamed it was my gut!) and I began my mission to lose it.
I became a member
of FLR just out of curiosity , I had no real hopes but in it I found
everything I needed to know on how to lose fat – straight to the
point information that really works.
First thing I
did was I set my self goals and recorded my results as explained
in the motivation section. . Then I went into the members forum
where I punched in my details in the Calorie Planner which worked
out my macronutrient requirements per day, I also used the diet
planner, it's an amazing piece of software, it's allowed me to keep
total control over my diet , I couldn't be without it.
I stuck to the
diet, did my training as laid out in the book and the gut began
to disappear.
In the before
picture using the 3 site Accu-measure pinch test I measured; pec:
7mm, ab: 11mm, quad: 8mm, and my weight was 195lbs.
Sticking to the
FLR diet I got down to pec: 3mm, abs: 4mm, quad: 4mm with a body
weight of 173 lbs. So I lost around 20 lbs of fat and even gained
about 6 lbs of muscle mass .
I never thought
I could get this lean. FLR made it happen. And the best part about
purchasing the e-book is the members area where expert advice is
given to any question you may have and it's filled with tons
of useful information. Thanks FLR!
Shed 33 lbs Of Fat So Far & Is Still Going Strong – He's Aiming
To Lose Another 15 lbs – We Know He's Going To Make It
"I have been
overweight for as long as I remember. I have tried (and failed)
to lose weight many, many times over the last 10 years as I just
could not stick to any of the 'diets' that a lot of people would
believe you have to be on in order to lose weight (i.e. salad, salad
and nothing but salad!) Towards the end of last year I had hit my
highest weight ever – and even close friends and family started
to comment about my increased size… that's when I decided to take
I first came across
FLR after searching online for weight loss supplement reviews, and
thought 'what the heck' and gave FLR a try – which turned out to
be by far the best decision i'd made all year! I quickly learned
that my extreme diet was all wrong, and that it was making my weight
loss goals near on impossible! The extensive information and instruction
about diet, exercise and supplements set me on the right path to
achieve my goals… a path which i'm happily still following over
6 months later without a second thought. The forums are also incredibly
helpful, with brilliant advice from other members about everything
from meal recipe ideas, through to advice on training routines.
I have found the answers to a lot of my own queries simply by searching
through the forum.
I would not hesitate
to recommend the FLR package to anyone who wants to take control
of their health (and waistline!) once and for all without the fads
and gimmicks that will lead you astray."
Edwards – Northamptonshire, UK
Lost Over 50 Pounds Of Fat
was hopelessly overweight and quite down on myself. I wasted so
much money on fat loss pills and creams, I think I must have tried
every diet in the universe. I did lose weight, a few pounds here
and there I was a classic yo – yo dieter but I always gained it
back and more.
feel so glad, I finally found your FLR program Will, what it's done
for me is something I can't put into words.
total, "I have lost over 50 pounds of fat while gaining lean
muscle to give me that toned look I always wanted, my friends and
family still can't believe it and I recommend FLR to all of them,
I think you have half my family tree as FLR members now.
didn't do it as a crash, or quick fix diet, but as a steady healthy
reduction in bodyweight as outlined in your program.Your direction
and knowledge of diet and supplements has been more than invaluable
to my success. Thank you Will.

Speed test
Test with words | Test with numbers | Words & Numbers
Is typing speed our focus?
Increased typing speed is the major attraction non-typists see in learning to touch type. While learning to touch type will almost always result in a perceptible increase in typing speed it is just one factor contributing to a marked increase in productivity.
Speed & accuracy
Given that touch typing is an automatic skill it is logical to associate an expert typist with fast typing but a better description might be accurate typing. The principal benefit of touch typing, for the student typist, is that data input via a keyboard no longer requires conscious thought, or, visual confirmation.
- While composing a letter or essay it is no longer necessary for the writer to interrupt their train of thought to scan the keyboard for the location of a particular key, or, to correct a typing mistake.
- A touch typist copying from a source text doesn't need to divide their attention between the source, screen and keyboard as an untrained typist would but can turn their full attention to the source text, confident that their touch typing skill will translate thought into data input without error.
These are attainable benefits resulting from constant practice. The end result can be demonstrated as an impressive display of typing speed, where the typist's fingers keep pace with thought, but the underlying demonstration is one of reliable accuracy that typing practice has elevated to speed.
Measuring typing skill
Typing tests measure two things, speed and mistakes, so when you take our typing speed test, do not look only at your speed, look also at the number of your mistakes and concentrate on reducing your mistakes in future tests rather than increasing your typing speed. The end result will be increased productivity.
What is WPM?
WPM is an abbreviation of Words-Per-Minute. Confusingly this does not literally mean whole words, as one might find in a dictionary, but rather word-units.
For speed to be comparable, it must be measured in standard units. In the case of typing speed if we used actual words for the WPM measurement then typing speed test results would not be comparable unless everyone used the same texts for their respective typing speed tests - which would give us the additional factor of memorisation so, the word-units we use are artificial.
One word-unit is five keystrokes. Thus, "typed" is one word-unit, "type on it" is two word-units (spaces count as keystrokes too).
Typing technique
Before you begin the typing speed test make sure you are sitting up straight, your feet flat on the floor. Keep your elbows close to your body, your wrists straight and your forearms level, and remember to take regular breaks.

Steve Ramsey's '40 Ford shakes it loud and proud with injected Rat power
One of the most exciting challenges in rodding is locating old, used up hot rods languishing in garages across America. They are still out there, but most times it takes a devoted archeologist to follow a trail of information leading to one. Locate one with a memorable history, like having ruled local streets back in the day, and the pile gets even smaller. Sometimes if you're lucky, you can catch a break when a friend supplies you with a lead bringing you to such a car.
For Steve Ramsey of Fallston, Maryland, it was fate when he followed one such lead, bringing him to a '40 Ford coupe that had been mothballed away for decades. What he found was an old '60s-era gasser complete with a straight-axle, nosebleed stance, 406-inch Ford mill, and metalflake bucket seats intact. After a number of visits to see the car and talk with its original owner, a deal was made and the '40 was hauled back to Steve's shop for evaluation.
Having grown up immersed in hot rodding, turning wrenches at his dad's garage since he was in his teens, the car represented a real look back to the era of his youth when he would watch countless coupes and roadsters run the local streets till the early morning hours. Initially, Steve and the team at his shop brought the old gasser back to life with its snarling 406ci V-8 intact. After a few white-knuckle rides around town, a decision was made to bring the car to another level to include superior handling and ample braking, along with a big-inch injected Chevy mill for power.
With a number of fresh design elements in his mind, Steve enlisted the talents of Dave Vrankin of Forest Hill, Maryland, to take on the complete build. Once the car was torn down, Vrankin got busy by first establishing a rock-solid spine for the project to roll on. A call to Fatman Fabrications secured one of their stout rectangular tube chassis complete with matching center crossmember and body mounts. A Ford 9-inch rearend was then filled with 3.70:1 cogs and suspended in place by a polished stainless triangulated four-link along with an antiroll bar and Carrera coilover shocks soaking up the bumps. Wanting the car to handle like it was on 'rails, a Fatman polished stainless IFS was incorporated along with 2-inch dropped spindles, an antiroll bar, and Carrera coilover shocks. A power rack-and-pinion charts the course while fluid pushed through steel lines to a Corvette master cylinder brings the beast to a halt through Stainless Steel Brake Corporation's Elite 11-inch turbo slotted rotors with matching calipers. Sticking the chassis to the road, a set of Colorado Custom 17-inch front and 18-inch rear Empire wheels shod with Goodyear Eagle rubber gets the job done with plenty of style.
Reminiscing back to the days of his youth when edgy hot rods ruled the scene, nothing said "street shaker" better than an injected big-block Chevy. To harness all the power needed for the build, a GM Performance 502ci Rat was called into service and treated to a number of go-fast goodies to give it even more ferocity. A GM crank, pistons, and aluminum heads combined with a Lunati stick set the pace while a Hilborn intake capped with a matching multi-port EFI sucks plenty of air. A FAST XFI engine management system tunes everything to perfection while an MSD ignition lights the fire and Hooker headers dump spent gases through a Vrankin-fabbed custom 2-1/2-inch stainless exhaust. For crisp shifts an ATI TH400 trans coupled to a Gear Vendors overdrive unit spins power to the pavement through a custom steel driveshaft.
When it came to breathing new life into Henry's original steel, Vrankin started cutting and didn't stop till he reached perfection. In working his magic, the body was channeled 3 inches, door bottoms and rear quarter-panel bottoms were extended 1-inch, rear inner wheelwells were widened 2-1/2 inches, door edges were rounded, and the firewall was recessed. Additional custom work included a one-piece windshield, Mercedes-Benz headlights, frenched taillights, and shaved door handles and bumpers. With all the fabrication completed, Vrankin massaged the body to perfection and laid down a lustrous coating of DuPont Hot Hues Midnight Tides vibe, bringing the car to life. Moving inside, Vrankin modified the bottom of the stock dash to accommodate a Vintage Air system. While Classic Instruments dials monitor the vitals, a Colorado Custom steering wheel linked to a Flaming River column handles the navigation. The final glamour came from Paul Atkins of Hanceville, Alabama, who stitched up a memorable business office awash in tan leather with complementary square weave carpeting and amazing attention to detail. The completed car has just the right combination of allure and attitude to make it a standout Street Shaker in any crowd.
Tech Tips
COMP Cams
Flat-Tappet Break-In Tip
Always remove inner springs when breaking in a flat-tappet camshaft to ensure cam and engine safety. After spending at least 30 minutes varying the engine rpm periodically from 2,000 to 2,500, put the inner springs back in.
Distributor Positioning
Always make sure that the module in your dual sync distributor is installed in the correct position for the crank reference angle that you are using. The module will need to be moved if you plan to use the 50-degree reference angle.
Perfect Syncing
The four "inside" barrels are the most critical in the syncing process. In fact, your Weber carburetor system will work great even if there are small inconsistencies between the "inside" and "outside" stacks. As long as the four "inside" barrels are properly synced, your system will function perfectly.

I see you are in the UK, have you seen the FPVUK forum post(s) regarding 459MHz use?It would be good to see you over there.http://www.fpvuk.org/forum/index.php?topic=2551.new;topicseen#new
What are your plans for the smaller PCB?I'd be very interested in a couple of smaller (Futaba module compatible) boards - I'm willing to assist with costs.
Devonian are you willing to modify the interesting features of openlrs firmware (failsafe, rssi etc.) to work on this nice hardware?Edit: Zitron hope you received my pm with my address. Zitron hope you retain the same connections on your board so more code fluent friends on this forum can help me out with the code
Yeah I can send you the 3 rev 1 boards msev wanted. I can send him the new boards if he still wants them.
Hi Zitron,Discover the secret - where do you manufacture the PCBs?
OK guys sorry I can't keep giving away boards for free. From now on I will charge a small fee (£2 per board) just to cover my costs.
Before you decide to start this project, make sure you can write code for arduino, ideally have some knowledge about SPI communincations, can solder SMD packages, and can find all the components that you need, listed in the BOM pdf attachted in a previous post. I can help, but I don't have time to answer all the questions.
I can solder SMD and get all the components needed; I have lots of open source arduino projects done but... I don't write arduino code... if you do not mind sending me the actual code, as well as any updates, I think I'll have no problems. If you do not mind that your project is shared, I think it might bring some progress in the project through some friends. But as I said before ... I do not write code... Zitron What do you think? It is worth I join the project?
Zitron sorry for the late response.. You can send/sell the pcbs that you reserved for me to other guys...I'll probably make my own diy single layer boards and use an arduino nano..I'll make the connections per flytrons schematic so that I won't need to tinker too much with the code..I'll make the nano removable so that I could remove it from the board when uploading new sketches (since 5V would kill the rfm22b)..I would take yours if there would be a possibility to easily port openlrs code...but its a bit too complicated for me..Hope you continue with your nice project and post code...Hope then when you write your code for lrs you'll still have some pcbs to sell .

Youth Baseball Coaches Allegedly Talked Of 'Beaning' Only Girl Player
Two coaches reportedly discussed ways to force the only girl in the Oyster River Youth Association baseball league to quit, including intentionally hitting her with a baseball during practice. The 11-year-old girl, who had been playing in the league in 2012, was the only girl left after many other girls her age left to play softball. The two coaches hoped that by hitting her in the head, she would be intimidated would eventually quit.
The girl's father Dan Klein said he found out the two coaches had discussed potentially injuring his daughter during a meeting when coaches draft players for their teams. His daughter was picked last.
He said that two other coaches, who attended the draft at a local bar and grill, let him know about the inappropriate conversation.
Durham Deputy Police Chief Rene Kelly told Fosters.com that is aware of the allegations but has not decided if the department will launch an investigation.
Klein said he did not reach out to the police, and he does not want to coaches to get in any trouble. Instead, he just wants to ensure that all kids, regardless of gender are "protected from this sort of language and be safe."
"I hope that this sort of thing doesn't happen again, and that kids will be protected from this sort of language and be safe," he said.

With its Abt-Audi TT-R, Abt Sportsline has won the title in the DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters), which was the biggest success in the history of the company. And according to the corporate motto "From the race track to the street", the world's leading tuning company for makes of the Volkswagen-concern has created a new highlight off the track as well: the Abt TT-limited II. "We want to give people the pure motorsport feeling for road use", says managing director and DTM-driver Christian Abt. The result incorporates pure passion with 195 kW (265 hp), quattro drive and a fascinating sport package.
The Abt TT-limited already turned out to be a bestseller in the portfolio of the company from the Allgäu-region. For the current special edition from Kempten, Abt Sportsline not only chose a striking red, but also an optical package with an absolute eye-catcher: the TT-limited II has been equipped with the Abt SP1 sports wheel including DTM Champion wheel rim covers. The black covers with inscription commemorate Laurent Aiello's title-winning campaign in the 2002 DTM-season. Underneath the bonnet, there is a real sportsman's heart at work: the 1.8 litre turbo engine not only has 30 kW (40 hp) more performance than the 165 kW (225 hp) strong production engine, but with 360 Nm instead of 280 Nm significantly more torque as well.
The DTM-connection can't remain unnoticed. With the front section and the famous Abt logo on the radiator, the sporty provenance of the TT-limited II becomes clear at first sight. The connection becomes even more apparent at the back: the Abt rear wing, derived from the DTM-winning Abt-Audi TT-R, provides the best possible downforce. Below that, the rear cover including carbon diffuser and four-pipe exhaust silencer refers to pure motorsport power. "Our experience from the race track provided the ideal basis for our TT-limited II", says Christian Abt.
Quattro drive and a height-adjustable Abt sport suspension, set up by Christian Abt himself, ensure the best possible transfer of the 195 kW (265 hp). The sport braking system with red-coloured brake callipers bites within fractions of a second, when it is necessary. The complete wheels with widened track, fitted with the new Abt SP1 sports wheel in the dimension 8.5 x 19 inch ensure the best possible contact with the asphalt. This representative of the new Abt SP wheel range is making its own mark, significantly standing out from other types with its flat wheel rim, declining to the inside. The super sports car comes with the appropriate Continental 235/35-19 tyres.
The thoroughbred line continues in the interior of the TT-limited II. As soon as you slide across the red doorsteps with the TT-limited II-logo into the red-painted buckets of the leather sport seats, you will soon discover the attention to detail of the designers from Kempten. A gearshift lever knob and ring of aluminium, floor mats with embroidered Abt logo, the sporty one-arm windscreen wiper and the red leather steering wheel are rounding off the perfect appearance of the super sports car.
Fitting for the performance, Abt Sportsline has chosen the appropriate wheels for the most powerful vehicle in its line-up. The Abt sports wheel SP2, cast in one piece in the dimension 9 x 20 inch and fitted with 255/30 R20 ContiSportContact2 tyres ensures the best possible contact between the quattro-drive and the asphalt. The new Champion wheel rim covers are the pinnacle of wheel design from Kempten. The silver-coloured covers with black inscription commemorate Laurent Aiello's title-winning campaign in the 2002 DTM-season.
With so much power, the performance of the brakes is especially important. Therefore, Abt Sportsline has mounted its sport braking system to the front and the rear axle of the RS6. Apart from the looks, the double-ventilated brake disks with the dimension 380 x 32 millimetres (front) and 322 x 32 millimetres (rear) ensure more safety and lighter handling of the super sports car. Larger pistons result into more braking power, the disks provide more stability and increased durability.

When we broke the news that AT&T is pushing updates to older Android devices to finally enable sideloading, and with the Infuse 4G being its first phone to sideload out of the box, we naturally assumed AT&T will continue to leave its future phones open. And that assumption has been confirmed, as Ma Bell went straight to the developers to inform them of her intent to no longer lock out sideloading on future phones.
Again, props to AT&T for finally changing its stance, even if it took the Amazon Appstore not working to make it happen. No matter how you slice it, it's a win for the customer.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Can You Guess the Celebrity Cleavage?
These ample bosoms form some of the best cleavage you'll ever see. But can you guess which celebrity owns them?
You might not actually get the answer to this question correctly unless you're very into Spanish language TV shows. This Cuban-born model and singer used to appear on Univision before she attracted the attention of FHM. From then on, she'd appear on the covers of mags like Maxim, Edge, GQ, Cosmo, Shape and over a whopping 100 other covers for both national and international magazines.
Can you guess who this fine piece of woman is?

You know Starbreeze. They've made sturdy, sometimes spectacular shooters like The Darkness, the Chronicles of Riddick games and this year's Syndicate. Usually, when the Swedish dev studio announces a new game, you usually expect highly stylised sci-fi violence and clever, satisfying gunplay. Their newest game doesn't have any of that. And it looks wonderful.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons springs from the vision of filmmaker Josef Fares. The downloadable game tells the story of two boys looking to find a magical cure for their father's fatal illness. The game comes across like something out of Grimm's Fairy Tales or a Hans Christian Andersen story, what with those wonderfully lush forests and ye olde European style of dress. And, look, some sort of helpful troll!
Brothers looks like an intriguing shift from Starbreeze's last few efforts and I'm definitely looking forward to it, especially since it reminds me a bit of Papo & Yo. Look for it to hit PlayStation Network, Steam and Xbox Live next spring.

In the brief history of the Web, only Google has enjoyed unequivocal success in online advertising. Google's ingenious Ad Words and Ad Sense programs deliver the vast majority of Google's $22 billion in revenue, which amounts to a quarter or more of all online advertising revenue. For years that dominance has cried out for a challenger. Now one has finally emerged in Facebook, which is poised to grow no less quickly than Google did.
That prediction may sound premature considering that Facebook this year will produce somewhere between $300 to $500 million in revenue, and skeptics still routinely question Facebook's ability to turn a profit on its 300 million members. But take a close look at Facebook Ads, the company's new ad platform, and you'll see for yourself how that profit is going to happen.
I did just that in the course of using Facebook to create some pre-launch excitement for my start-up. I created a Facebook "Page," which is a type of profile Facebook provides, free of charge, to help businesses stay in touch with customers and fans. I invited my 250 friends on Facebook to "fan," the page, which meant they would see all updates about my new business in their Facebook profiles. About 50 joined, and the rest were probably relieved to know that this new page - not my personal profile - would be the new venue to talk up my venture.
Fifty fans does not exactly create a buzz fest, but fortunately Facebook Ads is there to help promote your page (or any site on the Web). In an experience that's just as slick and simple as Google's Ad Words, Facebook drops you into an uncluttered interface, takes your credit card information for billing, and asks you to target your ad to Facebook members using location, gender, marital status, education, age, hobbies and so on. With each additional qualifier you select, the estimated size of your target audience appears at the bottom of the page.
Want everyone in the US who told Facebook they like fishing (the subject of my start-up)? The estimated audience is 1.5 million. Add Canada, the number rises to 1.7 million. Select men only, it falls to 1.1 million. Playing with the mix is actually entertaining.
You write the copy for your advertisement, which is limited to 135 characters, and deal with a little housekeeping. How long will your campaign last? What's your daily spending limit? How much are you willing to pay per click? Or impression? Like Google, Facebook's pricing system is dynamic - bid more and your ad will appear more prominently and more often. Click "create," and subject to Facebook review that takes minutes, your ad starts to appear appear on Facebook. Elapsed time, if you don't count having fun with the audience selection tool - about ten minutes.
In the space of two weeks, I changed the wording and timing of my ad several times, spent about $500, and now I have an audience of more than 1000 fans who follow my company's news. That beats by a big margin the couple dozen who read my posts on a company blog I started a few months ago.
Facebook's ad system is remarkable for its parallels with Google's. Like Google, Facebook first built a runaway success with consumers, and only later backed into money-making products. Like Google, Facebook side-stepped a conventional online advertising model (such as selling display ads) to create one rooted in a derivative of Facebook's core consumer appeal. Google understands what people want, thanks to the proxy of search queries, and Ad Words was built on that knowledge. Facebook, on the other hand, knows who people are, thanks to the information members provide at registration, and Facebook Ads makes it dead simple for all advertisers to exploit that information.
No less important, Facebook has copied Google's democratic thinking about the advertising sales process. Except for the biggest customers, buying ads on Facebook, as with Google, is a self-service thing, and the little guy like me has access to the pretty much the same tools and data as big agencies and brands.
Today Google's advertisers number a million or more. It won't be too many years before Facebook's are at least as numerous. Google has a serious rival, and the Web finally has a second advertising juggernaut in the making.
The next question -- which is the better way to rack-up fans for a Facebook page: More advertising on Facebook or a Google AdWords campaign? That will be an interesting contest.
Ned Desmond is the founder of Go Sportn, whose first launch, coming in December, is GoFISHn. Among his former roles: board member of the Internet Advertising Bureau and the Online Publishers' Association, President of Time Inc. Interactive, and editor of Business 2.0.

Decision : CONF 209 X.A.10
SOC: Aïr and Ténéré Natural Reserves (Niger)
X.10 Aïr and Ténéré Natural Reserves (Niger)
The Committee was informed that the Chairperson had approved, in April 1999, US$ 20,000 for the sensitization of all stakeholders to the conservation needs of the site. The project is one of the five activities foreseen in the emergency rehabilitation plan prepared by the State Party and submitted to the twentythird session of the Bureau in July 1999. The total cost of implementing the plan is estimated at US$ 127,000. The Bureau had endorsed the plan and recommended that the Centre and IUCN explore ways and means for financing the implementation of the rehabilitation plan, including submission of other projects for assistance from the Fund to the consideration of the Chairperson and to the twenty-third session of the Committee. Accordingly, based on requests submitted by the State Party, the Chairperson had approved, in October 1999, the following two additional requests:
- US$ 20,000 for organizing a training workshop on the protection of natural heritage for Reserve staff, border police and other agents concerned with the control of trade in wildlife products;
- US$ 12,000, under technical co-operation, for cleaning up damaged vehicles and other debris left over in rebel bases of the past (US$ 2,000) and the purchase of communication equipment for improving patrolling and surveillance capacity (US$ 10,000).
Furthermore, the Committee noted that the State Party has submitted an emergency assistance grant for a sum of US$ 75,000 for consideration by the twenty-third extraordinary session of the Bureau. The US$ 75,000 comprised the following activities:
- purchase of a four-wheel drive vehicle to enhance surveillance capacity (US$ 25,000)
- evaluation of the impacts of rebel activities and subsequent rehabilitation measures on wildlife populations (US$ 15,000); and
- building enclosures for the protection and breeding of wild ostriches to rehabilitate population numbers to pre-rebel estimates (US$ 35,000); the site's ostrich population dwindled to 10% of early-1990s estimates during the period of rebel activity.
Further breakdown of the US$ 15,000 requested for evaluation of impacts on wildlife populations and of the US$ 35,000 for the protection and breeding of ostriches are contained in the emergency rehabilitation plan endorsed by the twenty-third ordinary session of the Bureau in July 1999. (Please refer to document WHC-99/CONF.204/INF.12 of that session). Since the twenty-third extraordinary session of the Bureau had delayed the consideration of this and other international assistance requests until the Committee had decided on the budget allocations for the World Heritage Fund for 2000, the Committee noted that the Bureau would have to consider this request at a special session to be held during the remaining days of its twenty-third session. However, the Committee noted that, if the Bureau approved this emergency assistance grant, then the World Heritage Fund would have financed all activities included in the rehabilitation plan within a period of one year. In addition, the Committee was pleased to note IUCN's efforts to co-operate with the State Party under the terms of an MOU to ensure co-ordination and cooperation among donors such as the GEF, SDC (Swiss Development Corporation) and the DANIDA (Danish International Development Agency) in supporting projects for the long-term conservation of the site and the sustainable development of surrounding regions.
The Committee decided to retain this site in the List of World Heritage in Danger. The Committee invited the State Party to provide a progress report on the implementation of the rehabilitation plan to the twenty-fourth session of the Committee in 2000, including its views on when this site could be removed from the List of World Heritage in Danger.

Lawrence Technological University plans to close its Center for Nonprofit Management at month's end after a decade of operation, the center's Director Jerry Lindman said.
The Southfield-based university will also cease offering an MBA with a concentration in nonprofit management and a graduate certificate in nonprofit management and leadership.
The center's closure is a result of restructuring of the LTU College of Management initiated by Dean Bahman Mirshab, Lindman said.
Mirshab, who is out of the office until July and could not be reached for comment, is focusing limited resources on core business curriculum and degrees in order to pursue accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International for the College of Management, Lindman said.
The Center for Nonprofit Management has worked to bring best practices to the nonprofit industry through research, workshops, graduate coursework, an executive-to-executive series and learning circle for nonprofit financial executives.
It's also hosted a collegiate chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

There are moments in a person's life that one immediately knows one will remember forever. Every tiny little moment seems crystal clear when it happens but afterward it might seem like a blur. The loss of one's virginity. Meeting the love of one's life. The birth of a child. Hand-feeding a Giant Antpitta.
Wait. Hand-feeding a Giant Antpitta? How could I include such a trivial thing on a list of amazingly important moments? If you had ever hand-fed a Giant Antpitta you wouldn't be asking such a question. For my justification and rationalization please keep reading. This really will make sense, I promise.
Refugio Paz de Las Aves is famous in birding circles as the best place in the world to see a Giant Antpitta. And we are not talking about any old antpitta here, but one Giant Antpitta in particular, the much-lauded and much-loved Maria. But how did this antpitta get recognized as an individual and become so famous? It is all thanks to a patient and kind man with the absolutely fitting name of Angel Paz.
The following is adapted from the Refugio Paz de las Aves website:
Back in the beginning of the 21st century Angel and his family, who had made their living logging, had plans for their property, and it did not include antpittas. They were going to log their cloudforest in northwestern Ecuador and farm the land once the trees had been sold.
Fortunately Angel had a chance meeting with someone who let him know that tourists might like to see the bright orange birds, Andean Cock-of-the-Rock, that gathered at a lek in his forest to display to female cock-of-the-rock. Angel learned that if he constructed a good path to the lek people would pay to come see the birds! Of course, this sounded like a better way to live than chopping down the forest so Angel started building a trail. As he did, several of a tasty species of bird known as the Giant Antpitta would come out to the edge of the new trail and eat the worms exposed by the trail building. Angel briefly considered eating the antpittas but decided he would first find out if anyone wanted to see them. The answer was a resounding YES so he not only did not eat the antpittas but managed to get several individuals of different species trained to come to him in search of juicy, succulent worms. Maria, the Giant Antpitta, however, became and remains the star of the show.
Maria and Angel Paz
Why has Maria become famous? Antpittas in general are described in The Birds of Ecuador as "shy and elusive" and it is noted that they "are infrequently seen." The Giant Antpitta in particular is described as "rare and seemingly local" and "normally elusive." For such an infrequently seen species to be willing to not only be seen, but to put on a show, is astounding. Birders the world over, who have beat a trail to Rufugio Paz de las Aves, owe Angel Paz a debt of gratitude. Angel, on the other hand, knows to whom he owes his success, and he makes sure that Maria is well-fed and content.
Of course, with the great trails, hummingbird feeders, and quality habitat that Angel has preserved there are now many birders who visit Refugio Paz de las Aves to see not just antpittas and cocks-of-the-rock but a variety of tanagers, hummingbirds, barbets, quetzals, and a host of other species. Angel Paz, without aid from foundations or governments, managed to preserve a sliver of habitat and support his family from the proceeds of ecotourism. His story is a successful one and he should be both lauded and emulated.

So how does this story end up with me feeding Maria? Well, shortly after the picture up above with Angel petting Maria was taken Angel signaled Renato and Renato told me to go over by Angel. I thought I was just going to get my picture taken with Maria on her stump of a pedestal, which was cool enough, but the next thing I knew Angel was handing me worm-chunks and I was giving them to Maria. She not only took several worms from me, once nipping my finger, but she made a sound that was somewhere between a purr and a coo. I am not anthropomorphizing when I say that I could tell that this bird was happy.
Me and Maria. Photo by Alison Mirth.
Making a rare and elusive bird that is as iconic and awesome as a Giant Antpitta happy and hearing that happiness expressed was a magical experience. It was better than seeing my 1,000th bird, better than breaking 300 species in New York in one year, better than self-finding a rarity, better than winning a prize in the Superbowl of Birding. It was the best moment I have ever had while birding. So, yeah, I rank it up there with the seminal moments of my life.
That Angel Paz maintains the trails, keeps the feeders stocked, guides visitors, gets the antpittas to come out, and provides (absolutely delicious) food and drink, all for fifteen American dollars a head, is simply amazing. Of course, the tour companies charge the birders they bring to Refugio Paz de las Aves a whole lot more than what Angel charges them. Angel, after all, just recently got a website up (thanks to Renato), and he does not speak English, which makes it difficult for him to book tourists on his own. He is dependent upon the tour companies to bring him visitors.
The money spent on tour companies by and large leaves Ecuador and serves to enrich folks in the first world. Money spent at Refugio Paz de las Aves directly supports a family that is working to conserve and protect habitat and birds. This is not to say that birders shouldn't visit Maria through big tour companies. Big tour companies are, after all, how most people find their way to Refugio Paz de las Aves. Birders should, however, be aware that when they visit Refugio Paz de las Aves they are getting an incredible bargain and it certainly wouldn't hurt to pick up a few souvenirs while they are there. It is often difficult when one is giving money to a conservation cause to ascertain if one's money is actually going where one hopes for it to go. At the Refugio Paz de las Aves it is abundantly obvious that the money one spends is going directly to someone who has staked his livelihood on preserving habitat and birds. And saving habitat and birds like at the Refugio Paz de las Aves is worth far more than a mere $15.
This post makes my heart sing out loud. A seminal post indeed. Corey, you are all heart, and this post proves it. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT, sharing it sharing it sharing it.
MARIA!! My Maria!
Corey, the happy look on your face says it all. I loved this story.
A beautiful post. If I traveled, I would go and make the acquaintance of Maria. Now I can't stop singing "Maria… I just met a girl named Maria… And suddenly that name will never be the same to me…"
Corey, you looked as smitten that morning as Tony does in "West Side Story" when he meets Maria for the first time. I was expecting you to break into song – "I just met a girl named Maria!"
Indeed, we were all enchanted that morning with Maria – how could anyone not be? Hearing her vocalize with apparent contentment just bowled me over.
Angel Paz deserves the highest accolades for what he has done.
I agree 110% that we should support local entrepreneurism whenever possible. That Angel is making a living for his family says it all. Wonderful post!
Maria looks like she is getting plenty to eat. So in love with this bird. What an ambassador for antpittas everywhere.
These little relationships with individual birds are springing up all over the Neotropics. Las Ventanas de Osa on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica has a family of black-and-white owls (usually the very devil to see) that have learned to come to the diving board of their pool for the moths and katydids that the proprietors throw to them. While it could be considered a bit exploitative, the birds are in a sanctuary, as is this antpitta, and thousands of birders who'd never otherwise be lucky enough to see the species benefit from close interaction with them. It's no different from but infinitely cooler than clustering around a feeding station to see what comes in for the papayas.
What an enchanting story, and wonderful photos!
Wow is right Corey. I can't even imagine how incredible that moment must have been. Being able to observe a vulnerable listed species is one thing, feeding one is quite something else. And then to have Maria thank you in her own words, priceless! Congratulations!
I am so glad to see entrepreneurs anywhere in the world considering ecotourism rather than habitat destruction. Angel should be congratulated and indeed emulated. Obviously if and when I make it to Ecuador, this is where I will go.
I LOVE this story. Thanks, Corey. This past June I went to Ecuador. To Tapichalaca and spent an hour or so watching the Jocotoco Antpitta. Franko learned the art of calling and feeding the Jocotocos from Angel. The day I was there, an adult bird with a young one came to feel. They were only a few feet away from me. An absolutely unforgetable experience.
Cool post Corey. When we went to Refugio Paz de las Aves we did not see Maria but Manuel and he was not nearly as friendly. Still we did get great views. Aside from the Antpittas and mixed flocks we also had great views of a roosting common potoo and Oilbird. I would recommend the place to any birder.
Nice post!
I went and saw Maria back in April.
I guess the Giant Antpitta is the most grabbing and unique headline, but the hand-feeding of Crimson-rumped Toucanets, Black-chinned Mountain-Tanagers, Toucan Barbets, etc. was just as magical to me.
Yes these birds are far easier to see elsewhere (than a giant antpitta), but they are still Choco endemic (almost in the case of the toucanet), brilliantly beautiful and just as friendly as Maria.
Nowhere outside of relatively remote islands (i.e. Galapagos, New Zealand) have I encountered such friendly wild birds.
Just shows that even the most lofty praise for this place ends up understating how phenomenal a bird-watching spot it is!
What a great post, it brought me right back there – Maria, Willie and Carlos – along with all those other fantastic birds. It was a day that made my heart sing and like you said one I'll never ever forget. And afterwards we had the best breakfast at the site. Angel should be given an award for all his efforts.
What a great story, full of hope and a shining example of success. Bravo to Angel Paz, I hope he will inspire others to preserve their land as well. You do indeed look like a happy guy, Corey – great pic with Ms. Maria, herself. Enjoyed your post!
I like your job! Nice photos. Nice site. I hope you do find your 10000th bird 🙂 best of luck!
If Ecuador has an Angel Paz we also have one in the Philippines that calls a Whiskered Pitta by name. This Pitta species is known to be one if the most difficult to see but through the efforts of Cris our very passionate and dedicated Bird Guide, the Whiskered Pitta is an almost guaranteed sighting in our country. Many families in the community had greatly benefitted from this very successful eco tourism project initiated by one of our most dedicated bird conservationist member Mr. Ramon Quisumbing who also established the BK Valley Bird Sanctuary.

Library Mission
Carleton College's Gould Library Mission
The Laurence McKinley Gould Library fosters learning and inspires discovery through our collections, expertise, and environment.
(Adopted 2013)
The Gould Library Vision and Values
The Laurence McKinley Gould Library is an active participant in the college's mission to provide an exceptional undergraduate liberal arts education. In support of Carleton's curriculum, we build collaborative partnerships that enrich the intellectual climate of the campus. We create an atmosphere that sparks curiosity, discovery, and the pursuit of knowledge. In fulfillment of our teaching mission, we develop services and collections that are flexible and responsive to the needs of Carleton College, and we foster a culture of inclusiveness that respects the diversities of our community. We strive to do all of this in a manner that is welcoming and safe; that encourages and values intellectual freedom; and that empowers students with the lifelong capacity for information literacy necessary for continued growth.
(Adopted 2013)
The Gould Library Strategic Plan: 2013-2018
(download the full Strategic Plan for 2013-2018)
The Laurence McKinley Gould Library is situated at the heart of Carleton, acting both as a College service, supporting the scholarship of the Carleton community, and also as an academic hub on campus, particularly leading the College's efforts to produce information literate graduates. As an active center of academic life, the Library must remain flexible and responsive to changing expectations on campus and in the information landscape. We in the Library approach these changes both eagerly and thoughtfully, with an eye towards sustainability and good stewardship of our resources.
While facing these opportunities and challenges, we will harness six guiding values to inspire and lead us. These values are threaded throughout the plan and form the underlying motivation for our many strategies and goals:
While each of these values is important, collaboration is especially visible in this strategic plan because it is so integral to our work in all areas. The Library depends upon and actively cultivates successful collaborative relationships with many groups, on and off campus, and these collaborations are crucial to our success. The Library's strategic plan combines the goals of the College's 2012 strategic plan, "Carleton's Future: A Strategic Plan for the College 2012," with the Library's goals and guiding values. This plan articulates our key priorities and achievable goals, organized into six equally important categories: Services, Curriculum and Teaching, Co-Curricular Student Experience, Collections and Access, Physical Plant, and Staff.
- Active Flexibility -- creating capacity for experimentation, allowing us to identify and embrace beneficial changes
- Advocacy -- using the Library's position and expertise to champion equitable and sustainable access to information
- Collaboration and Community -- building and sustaining mutually-advantageous relationships within the Library, across the College, with St. Olaf, and with other key partners
- Stewardship – caring for and maintaining our resources and collections
- Strategic Assessment -- strengthening the Library through evidence-based practices
- Visibility -- communicating the Library's value to the campus and beyond
(Adopted 2013)
