(Cape Coast, Ghana. Jun – Aug 2010) WIP facilitates the production of new products among many women entrepreneurs in Ghana under the brand name Global Mamas. Every year we work with design volunteers and interns to create the following year's new line. It is a long and intricate process that involves many steps: learning the method of batik and developing new stamp designs based on the limitations of the batiking process, creating product specifications to ensure products are made consistently and with high quality, working with the women to develop new samples, etc. This summer WIP had the opportunity to work with a group of design interns who worked as a group and individually to get this process started, and the outcome has been so amazing!
Achievements: Brenda assisted WIP in many areas:
"Ghana and Global Mamas have stolen a piece of my heart. My dream is to start an organization like this in my home country of Nicaragua and I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to learn from Global Mamas as well as contribute through volunteering my time and talent." close window |

Never assume. First rule of life. If you meet me, don't assume that I see adoption as a "solution" to abortion. Don't assume that becoming an adoptive parent changed my pro-choice position. Don't assume that just because I have a daughter, I think I'm entitled to control her body. Don't assume that I abandoned my opposition to laws that require notification of parents when a minor needs an abortion. Don't assume that I think I will know about everything my daughter does as a teenager. Don't assume that my knowing is more important than her safety.
Know this instead: I want her to have what she needs. I want her to be safe, and supported, and to feel every option is open to her. Sure, I hope she comes to me if she decides to have sex; I hope to God it's her decision, and not something that happens against her will. If she asks me, I will help her find a birth control method and talk to her about protection from STIs. But if she doesn't come to me, she still deserves to have birth control, and condoms. And if all that fails and she finds herself pregnant, she deserves to have all her choices available.
If you are an adult in my daughter's life, know this: it's not about me. It's about her. If she comes to you about birth control, help her. Take her to Planned Parenthood. Give her condoms. If it means you have to take her to another state to help her get an abortion, because it's what she needs and we live in a state with parental notification laws, then take her. Go with her, and hold her hand, and hug her afterwards, and make sure she has someone to talk to. Sure, you can tell her that she can talk to me -- you can offer to help her do it. But if she doesn't want to, if she's scared or ashamed or just too overwhelmed, that's OK. It's more important that she gets what she needs than that I know about it.
I am trying to be the kind of mother she can come to, but that's not entirely under my control. And if she can't come to me, let her come to you, and give her what she needs. If you're her aunt, or her teacher, or her doctor, or just a good friend, know this: it's about her.

LOVED THIS... and I completely agree. I've already started saying many of these things to my teenage daughter.
Nice piece... and I would help you daughter make her own choices if I knew her. :)
7:41 am on Thursday, January 24, 2013
The problem, is that you assume that your daughter will not get an STD if the "boy" who wants to have sex with her wears a condom. Hello everyone...life threatening STD are no longer prevented by condoms. The STD go right threw. MANY women are crying out that their mothers would have told them the TRUTH about their choices. Plus, emotionally the woman is harmed MORE from an abortion. SHe WILL FOREVER be haunted by it. It is the stupidest and most harmful lie ever that the beating life inside her is a "choice". If it is an unwanted pregnancy or worse yet a result of a crime, there are many wonderful adults who have survived this and can tell you to your face how blessed they are. Pam Stenzel is someone you need to hear. Her birth mother loved her so much even though she was conceived from a rape. Yes, these blobs of tissue have a heart beat and if allowed can grow up into wonderful adults. YOU ARE NOT GOD. By not giving your daughter ALL the information. By not advising her to wait for sex until she is married. YOU are taking away her choices for true joy. You are making her not question how many women in this country are self medicating to try and forget their bad choice of killing their child, or who cannot conceive because of the STD they got in their teens or have died because MOM thought that a condom would prevent a life threatening STD. You take away her choices when you endorse premarital sex and abortion. Pray hard about your commentary. It is SO wrong & backwards.

Anonymous, your are seriously, dangerously misinformed. STIs are reliably prevented by latex condoms. The most common emotional response to abortion is relief, not permanent trauma; the trauma comes from the guilt, fear and shame induced by the attitudes you espouse.

I don't think you are doing your daughters any favors by encouraging and supporting their decision to have sex before marriage. I make sure my daughter knows that their is a tremendous amount of risk in taking that action.And she has seen the heartbreak of her friends who are having sex first hand. I don't think it makes me a prude. I think it makes me truthful.
9:45 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
I am so sorry, but this piece is so bleeding heart. I have three teenage daughters. I am well aware of all the challenges. My daughters know of their choices! if you were that close to your daughter she would come to YOU. Shame on you if she needs to hold a stranger's hand! Such s sappy piece!
9:33 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Shame on you that you think your daughter's will come to you with EVERY challenge they face in life. I loved this piece. Such a reality for so many mom's and their daughters. I too hope that my daughter feels comfortable enough to come to me with anything she needs in regards to sex and birth control, but I am also a realist and know that when she is making these decisions for herself, I may not be the first one she comes to. And, with that it mind, I hope to arm her with the ability to get the information she needs regarding such things and prepare her to make the right decision for herself.
2:41 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
I am extremely close to my mother but I never ever came to her about sex or birth control. I went to the internet or Planned Parenthood when I needed information and/or birth control, or I bought my own condoms. 75% of Americans have premarital sex, and you can bet most of those people never discussed it with their parents first! (Frankly, I didn't think it was any of her business!)
7:48 am on Thursday, January 24, 2013
Also in addition, how about we have a commentary from the ACTUAL woman from ROE vs WADE. SHe will tell you how she has now completely devoted her life to FIGHT ABORTION. Abortion harms women. Abortion is prevented by not having pre-marital sex. True JOY is in the waiting until you are ready for marriage and a committment. Are we animals that we cannot control anything? Are we dogs in heat? Truly, there are sane people out there that can understand that just because a child wants to have sex, doesnt mean that they should. Have some self control. Teens have more than their parent's think that they do. They ARE capable if given the correct information to WAIT. Many are joining the movement of "True Love Waits" everyday. Your teen can wait. They will have much joy in their lives if they do. Anything good in life is hard work. Staying pure is hard work for a teen...but they CAN do it.

in all fairness, let her watch as they turn her embryo into soup and remove it.
8:35 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
I love how she mentions "I hope to God". I am pretty sure God doesn't approve of abortion at all. And for the agnostics and atheists who revel in their pragmatism, when is it ever good to kill a baby?

God must approve of it, as He let my wife have two miscarriages. God endorses abortion right here:

It does not surprise me to hear the focus shifted from my daughter's autonomy to the putative rights of a being that doesn't, as yet, exist.

Hey Armed Citizen! It's not murder! Murder is against the law in this country. Stop being so idiotic!
Armed Citizen
3:24 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
@Wallst - So by your definition, this was murder 40 years ago?? Are you trying to say that your moral compass is based solely on laws? Or are you trying to say that you have no morals? Taking the life of an innocent human IS murder...killing an innocent child is barbaric. You sir (or whatever you are) are a moron!
3:45 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Armed Citizen, It was NEVER murder. And MY moral compass is working, while yours is on some other planet! Answer me this...is it okay to "murder" in cases of rape or incest, or when the mother's life is in danger? *THINK* before you answer!
Rosemary B
6:50 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
No matter how it comes to be it is not a bunch of cells. It is a life and ending a life is usually called murder. If you want to be ok with that then that is between you and God.
Armed Citizen
9:02 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
@Wallst, You Progressives are so predictable. Since your arguments are based on fantasy and emotion, there is little room for logic and facts. I'll play along. What % of abortions are performed on women who were raped? Are you suggesting that the majority of women getting abortions were raped by an uncle or father? Or were you the product of rape and/or incest and sorry your mother didn't abort you?
9:39 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Ah, yes, Armed Citizen can NOT even answer the question because he/she/it would have to say that murder is FINE when the life of the mother comes into play. I won't even bother going into your childish rant with the rest of your idiotic response. And by the way, do you really think I care what YOU *think* I do for a living? LOL!
Armed Citizen
9:52 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Of course you care. You're an immature and insecure imbecile. You're a follower, not a leader. I would love to know more about your lucrative business! You progressives would have us believe that all successful business owners are 'rich' and don't 'pay their fair share'. You are a living and breathing oxymoron.
To answer your stupid question - No, I would not have a problem aborting a fetus if the mother was raped or her own life was at risk. You still won't acknowledge that this is very rare because your argument is weak.
10:00 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
See? Armed Citizen just admitted that MURDER is OK! Thank you for FINALLY answering the question! Now, run along in your self-inflicted idiocies and try to keep up with reality. Remember, when Alice woke up, she realized she was no longer in "wonderland". Good luck, skippy!

7:32 am on Thursday, January 24, 2013
To Sam Hein: I understand your difficulty & that is why you cannot take a verse that is written in the context of a situation & have it stand alone. I have taken part of a commentary from www.carm.org
"The context of Psalm 137 is the Babylonian captivity. The Psalmist speaks of the captors tormenting the people of God (vv. 1-3), a promise to remember Jerusalem (vv. 5-6), and a curse against the captors (vv. 7-9). The Psalmist is in exile & had probably witnessed the atrocities committed against his people, babies included. In the revenge-style that was so common at the time, he wishes the same upon his enemy as a description of their utter destruction. Nowhere does it say that God approves of the Psalmist's request or that he fulfilled it. Just because it is recorded that the Psalmist wrote the imprecation, doesn't mean it was approved by God. It is worth noting that the Old Testament records many atrocities. The fact is that God allowed people their sinful desires and he worked within their culture, even as he does now, as he permits all kinds of bad things to happen. Nevertheless, God introduced what is called the Apoditic Law (Exodus 21:24): an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. The Apoditic Law was instituted to prevent the increase of blood revenge, a practice where revenge would escalate out of control between two parties." Miscarriages are horrible. My prayer is that you are a believer so that you spend eternity with these children in heaven.
11:53 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Jenni, your writing style was horrible....run on...blah blah blah...don't assume...don't assume.....don't assume. It was torturous to read. Do this for my daughter, do that for your daughter...the only thing you left out was giving the girl a lollipop after the procedure. Maybe that's one thing you can do! No one expects kids to go to parents with EVERY challenge, but gosh darn if they can't come to you for abortion support. Shame on YOU! Btw...do you work at planned Parenthood?
12:06 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Do you have a daughter? Have you ever been in a situation when you were embarrassed, ashamed, and afraid to tell your parents/mom-and didn't? You can't make your kids come to you for everything. I think it's common knowledge that the more you push, the further they go. We are going to do all we can for our kids to feel comfortable coming to us when they need help, but if they choose not to, I don't feel that is a reflection of bad parenting, it is kids being kids.
12:01 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Also, the focus quickly shifted from your daughter's autonomy because the focus of the article seemed to be what a fabulous evolved mother YOU are! Look at me...look how selfless "I" am! You mentioned yourself 6 times in the first paragraph!
12:19 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Beth, how thick are YOU? Who said EVERYTHING?! You are going off the rails...focus! The TOPIC is abortion. I do have daughters and we have discussed the
topic for YEARS! I have 2 children in their early 20s and 2 teenagers! Been there...done it. You have to lay the groundwork for YEARS! I still say you didn't do your job if your daughter is in that predicament and she feels that she can't come to you!
12:30 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Easy does it there. I am well aware of the focus, thanks. Just commenting. Since you already have experience, you know that sometimes kids make poor decisions (and don't come to you) , but that doesn't mean you are a bad parent. And, I never said you were thick-thanks though, I have been accused of that in the past.
Jenni Levy
12:51 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
The topic is reproductive rights. Abortion is one piece - but only one piece - of that. Maybe it would mean I haven't done my job if she can't talk to me, but why she should suffer for that?
3:03 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Who said your daughter should suffer? What are you talking about? Actually, just forget it, we are on two different planets.
1:00 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
I apologize, but believe it or not you did it again. You are generalizing! I am STRICTLY referring to abortion. I am not saying you are a BAD parent, but I would say you failed in that regard! None of us are perfect parents, but in the case of a girl making a HUGE decision such as abortion, her mom SHOULD be someone she feels she can go to no matter what the mother's personal choice would be. I went to 12 yrs. of Catholic school and taught in Catholic school. My girls knew what my belief was in regard to Abortion, but KNEW if they were in that situation, the choice was theirs! I would be there to support them no matter what! I would never want them to go through that without me being the one to hold their hand and hug them! I laid the groundwork for YEARS!
1:15 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
That's great, it sounds like we agree on being there for our children if and when they need us. Yes, I did generalize, but abortion and reproductive rights and discussions are all a part of my generalization. I hope to provide my children with all of the information they need when it comes time for making the decision to have sex with someone and I too, hope they feel comfortable enough coming to me if they need to talk about it. I don't think I have failed as a parent in that area if they don't talk to me about it, though. And, I am happy you have been able to establish the trust and respect for your kids to come to you if and when these discussions need to happen.
2:32 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Beth, maybe I shouldn't have generalized. I should have said I would feel that I failed in some way if on an issue as big as abortion my daughter felt like she couldn't come to me. It saddened me that a young girl would wind up holding a stranger's hand or driving across state lines with a stranger.
Jenni Levy
3:02 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Jill, the whole point is that it's *not* a stranger. My daughter is blessed to have many loving adults in her life beyond her parents. I am doing everything I can to help her feel she can talk to me; I am laying the groundwork. I have been doing that since she was born. But that may not be enough. If indeed she needs to go to someone else for help with birth control, I will feel very sad - but I will also be relieved that someone else was there and my daughter got what she needed, because in the end that's more important than my feelings.
3:37 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Jenni, like I said, we are on two different planets. I wouldn't classify just any "adult in my daughter's life" as someone I want guiding her. That is what you said, " If you are an adult in my daughter's life". We are just two very different people. You were specific when you referred to someone else holding her hand or hugging her during her abortion. Now you are changing your words acting as though you were referring to birth control. I could care less about birth control. You included abortion in your original writing....driving across state lines etc... Look at your title....40th Anniversary of Roe! Your whole first paragraph was about abortion. Enough already, try rereading your column with an objective eye.
Jenni Levy
3:42 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Jill, it's reproductive rights, and access to abortion is a big part of that. You accused me of thinking only of myself, and what I hear you saying is that your primary concern is what *you* want for your daughters - not their actual experience. We may be on different planets and we certainly are different people. I trust we're each doing our best. I hope that commenting here has been in some way helpful to you.
8:23 am on Thursday, January 24, 2013
If one exercises responsible exercise of reproductive rights, they would not get pregnant if they did not want to. That requires responsible sexuality. 99% of the abortions in this country are the result of irresponsibe behavior and not facing up to the consequences of it. The baby would be inconvenient, so kill him or her. What a great logic that is. Killing for convenience.
Jenni Levy
3:45 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
I am pro-choice for many reasons, not the least of which is that legalized abortion saves women's lives; there's solid epidemiological data to prove that. I trust that those of you who want abortion criminalized and who equate it to murder are working diligently to provide low-cost or free contraception to everyone who needs it, because there's also solid evidence that such access markedly reduces abortion rates. If your goal really is to stop abortions, that's the way to do it.
4:02 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Jenni, where the hell did I say I didn't believe in a woman's right to choose? I also said that my daughters would make THEIR own choice you fool. Way to make assumptions! Maybe you should refer to my posts to Beth you idiot! Also, I did not say you were thinking of yourself ONLY. I said the article seemed to be more about YOU...not ONLY!
Jenni Levy
4:07 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Jill, those are in two separate comments because the second comment isn't addressed to you. I think we're done; I don't generally keep talking to people who call me "idiot" and "fool".
4:10 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
No offense Jill, but you don't seem like a very approachable person. I trust that you are much more respectful to your children and they feel more comfortable talking to you about difficult subjects.
4:41 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Jenni, It is obvious that unless I tell you how great your column is, I should keep my opinion to myself! Consider it done. Beth, after reading your post I told you I should have limited my opinion to my own daughters. Wow, someone walking back what they said and admitting they might have overreached. I don't recall seeing too much of that on Patch. I am sorry that seems unapproachable to you. Hint...when you start a sentence with no offense...usually what follows is offensive.
4:55 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Thanks for the tip-kinda knew that. I will leave it at that. We have gotten way off topic and I just don't feel entertaining your "arguments" anymore.
5:19 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Funny how some people view other people's honest opinions as arguments when you don't agree with them. Have a good night ladies! <3
5:27 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
To set the record straight, I do respect others' opinions. It is the personal attack, name calling, and passive comments that I don't respect. The funny thing is, I think we share the same opinion on this matter-it just morphed into something else.
6:02 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
I am sorry I had to clarify my point so often. I felt that you and Jenni kept misrepresenting what I was saying. I don't like people putting words in my mouth and saying i said things i didn't, which seems to happen a lot here on Patch. People hear certain things and jump to certain conclusions about people...henceforth Jenni assuming I didn't support a woman's right to choose. I was deeply offended. I refuse to judge someone else in that regard. It is a very serious issue which woman need to decide on their own. I know it is a heart wrenching decision. I am sorry I had the nerve to think this piece was over the top, now I know why Chelsea made her point and moved on. She must be experienced on how Patch works. Lesson learned!
6:32 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
As a 17 year old college freshman on this date 40 years ago, I thought this ruling was pretty cool - after all, it could have solved a future potential problem, especially since in my state 18 year olds had also just been gained the right to buy alcohol legally a few days before! Remember, though, I was just a kid then.
8:32 pm on Friday, January 25, 2013
Thanks for a great article, Jenni! My mom and I were and are close, but I would never have gone to her at 17 to talk to her about sex. Ewwww! But the folks at Planned Parenthood were great, and I support them to this day. There may have been some negative comments, but on the upside, lots of people read the article. You go, girl!

Wall St...Did you ever abort ??My guess is no because if you did you would never discuss this issue on an internet blog. You wouldn't be out here arguing your point because you would have to look in the mirror everday knowing that your Doctor just flushed little Wall St. junior down the toilet. I'm not telling you what to do and what your rights are but any woman with a conscious or soul cannot hide behind the veil of the law and tell me that after an abortion they feel relieved or happy. The guilt i'm sure is overwhelming. I know several woman who aborted and cry everytime they see a baby .Even though abortion is the law,a woman's emotional makeup naturally will kick in when a event of this nature takes place .If you feel Guilt then nature is telling you something is inheritently wrong with the law. Thats pure logic.The two woman I know that aborted have tremendous bouts of guilt.
Rosemary B
12:32 pm on Thursday, January 31, 2013
And that, Joe, is the issue that is never talked about. The lasting guilt...And the fact that many people who are Pro-Choice now once had abortions and know about all sides fro first hand experience. It is an easy and legal way out with lasting consequences that are never talked about.
Jenni Levy
12:44 pm on Thursday, January 31, 2013
Rosemary and Joe, you are wrong. The "lasting consequences" are talked about far too much given that they don't exist for most women. Abortion does not cause breast cancer and it does not cause overwhelming guilt. There are good studies that prove this, despite your anecdotal evidence to the contrary. I don't argue that some women feel guilty, but most feel relieved.
Most women who have abortions in the US are already mothers, and are quite aware of the consequences of their decision.
I trust, given your strong feelings and your desire to prevent abortion, that you are both in support of low-cost or free birth control, good sex education in schools, and funding to provide housing, medical care and food for low-income women and children. Those are the programs that have been shown - again, in well-conducted scientific studies - to lower the rate of abortion. If you're not supporting those programs, you are more interested in controlling women's behavior than you are in preventing abortion.

The "Anderson Squat"
Looking through the pages of GUS youve probably seen Anderson being used to describe squatting exercises. Way back when Paul Anderson was a major powerlifter he would deload his barbell during his squatting. The term deload, in this case, implies that the barbell is rested on the pins of a power rack or similar apparatus such that you are no longer loaded with the barbell. Anderson used various methods, including digging holes. After deloading he would brace himself and drive into the barbell, and complete the squat. Whats the difference between a regular squat and an Anderson squat? As mentioned above, the main difference lies in the fact that the barbell is deloaded at some pre-determined depth. There are a few other differences which are not so subtle. 1) The deload prevents bouncing in and out of the hole (the transition between eccentric and concentric). This is a very well known method for overcoming a sticking point, however we all know that well known methods are not necessarily the best. 2) If were performing Anderson Front Squats there is a very large core component involved, mainly activation. Ordinary front squats involve a core component as well but imagine the speed and force at which you must activate the core musculature in order to not only support the weight, but to also support it while accelerating the weight from a dead stop. There is something to be said about being able to very rapidly engage and stabilize your core. 3) Consider what the main difference is between a continuous movement and one that has a deloading portion, eccentric contraction. As you perform the eccentric portion of movement you are elongating the muscles while maintaining a contraction, when you reach the transition point, between eccentric and concentric, and begin to perform the concentric portion your muscles are sort of preloaded with tension. More accurately it can be thought of as a displaced spring, in other words a store of potential energy. If you deload the weight you also lose the stretch shortening cycle1. In laymans terms, it adds difficulty to the movement. Why use Anderson squats and how do you implement them? As mentioned above, the main advantage is the core activation component. When very heavy weights are being used there is also the advantage of being able to grab a breath or two when the barbell is deloaded. It also helps form to a degree. If your form is sloppy or you arent able to get into, or maintain, proper position then you will run into problems. Another advantage is that this may help develop explosive starting strength. Over a very short period of time you are going from a dead stop to exerting a large amount of force, thus increasing the speed of recruitment of motor units. This is a main component of explosive starting strength. Implementing them is rather easy. Any squat can be turned into an Anderson squat and any depth can be set. Depth also allows for another means of progression. Rather than increasing the weight or reps you always have the option of lower your pins another notch. You can go ahead and do a straight substitution for any of your regular squats but, like so many things, a bit of experimentation is a good idea. How to perform them: 1) Set your pins or catches on your squat rack at the desired height. 2) Step into the squat rack and unrack the barbell as you normally would do. 3) Perform the eccentric movement, decelerating as you approach the pins. You do not want to be dropping down and smashing into the pins every rep, deload gently. 4) When you reach the pins completely deload the barbell. Its even a good idea, providing you dont get out of position, to drop down an extra inch or so and completely break contact with the barbell. 5) Regain contact with the barbell and apply a slight pressure. Brace your core and drive into the bar to accelerate it. The best way to describe this is analogous to punching in martial arts. Just as you would try to punch THROUGH your target, try not to squat against the bar but try to drive through the bar. 6) Finish the concentric portion. Either rack the barbell or perform more repetitions.

I noticed on the website, they showed a video of him doing squats without a grip- resting on his arms. Is that a old school way of doing it or was there a reason?

One thing I notice with this method is that it still limits the load by how much you can take out of the rack. I prefer his method of squatting off the pins directly and increasing depth that way.

I did Anderson squats for a large portion of this year regularly. Very good exercise, I'd say a few things in favour and a few things against.
For: 1) Get's your supporting structures used to more weight at least while standing there statically. 2) Quads and lower back get worked thoroughly Against: 1) Merely wedging yourself in and squatting up, won't give you the practice in taking weights out of the rack. I was using Anderson Squats by getting under the pins and squatting up. I used weights close to 700lbs, however I would have struggled to walk that out of the rack. So I would definitely prefer people to be walking these out and then squatting down, rather than wedging under the pins first. 2) Once again wedging yourself in and squatting up puts you in danger of strengthening the wrong groove from the bottom up. Another reason you should unrack, walkout and then Squat. Often if you can reach the bottom in a good position you can get up, but if you're messing your groove up with a poorly thought approach you will suffer. All in all I'm in favour of them, I just think people need to use their noggins a little with the performance and how it's effecting their form on the regular Squat. |

Possibly, there are other variants of Anderson squats.
The one I had heard was a bit different. Basically, un-rack the weight and do a partial squat where you squat down to a depth such that the barbell touches the pins set at a pre-determined height, and then squat back up - the bar need not REST on the pins in this variant. Now, you start with the pins set pretty high up, but in each session, you progressively set the pins down until you get to the proper squatting depth. This allows you to take the load off the rack - and use a load that is well above your squat 1RM when you are starting, since with high pins, it is basically a partial squat in the first few sessions. After a few sessions, when you have run down the rack to the desired depth, this weight is basically your new 1RM. All in all, this one is almost a squat walkout coupled with progressively deeper partials. |

Yep, there are. The one you describe is a modern variation of what Anderson did, it's more suited to a modern gym setting.
What Anderson actually did was to dig a hole in his garden to the point where he could stand in it and do a very high partial Squat with a lot of weight. When he had mastered that, he would throw in some more soil (thereby increasing the ROM) and master that height. He would continue to do so over weeks 'till he was actually squatting the weight. At which point, I imagine someone might ask him to stop digging any further holes! |

Here's my take on Anderson squats and to be honest I agree with fazc, you have to use your head on this one. This is simply a movement to strengthen your main movement. I believe that it should only be used in that capacity. It would be like saying because you can board press 500#that your actual bench is 500#. . . Sorry no sir its not. It's a strengthening tool and should be treated as such.
experimentation is a good idea with this lift, I have used this lift in a variety of positions with different bars. Silverback Barbell

Personally I got much more out of a short period of properly performed Banded Box Squats than I did out of 6 months of Anderson Squats.
When developing strength it's all about strengthening the correct grooves, it's not always important to focus on how to finish the lift BUT RATHER how you set yourself up to allow you to finish. |

Exactly, once you strengthen those grooves then you will be able to be strong enough to finish. It's like a puzzle that is constantly evolving, so you have to adapt

Josh Mandel Supporters Schedule Rally in Solon
U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel to attend a rally Tuesday in Solon hosted by the Southeast Republican Club.
Ohio Treasuer and U.S. Senate candidate Josh Mandel is to appear at a rally Tuesday in Solon.
The rally, hosted by the Southeast Republican Club, is to begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Solon Community Center.
Mandel, a Republican, is running against incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown. The race is already one of the most contentious of the election season.
The rally is open to the public. See the attached PDF for more information. Patch will be there with coverage of the event.

Yet, just like the presumptive nominee for President, Mandel was the "best" Ohio Republicans could put forth.
There are a good chunk of Republicans who are refusing to back Mandel because of his blatant lies...including stating that he was going to fulfill his position as Treasurer.
But then again, Mandel has yet to hold an office he hasn't bailed on.

Unlike everyone else who tows the party line.

Simple Evan.
Public unions have given some of the crappiest jobs on the planet enough pay and benefits that they still attract enough applicants so that you can rest assured the people who show up to put out your fires, teach your kids, save your grandmother's life, and arrest the guy trying to break into your house are highly qualified and capable to do their jobs.
All of these things were done through collective bargaining with the unions and management coming together and hashing out a fair deal that works for both parties. That's good for everyone.
Evan Hammersmith
10:36 am on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Earl, lots of jobs out there are crappy, and if you pay someone enough, they'll do the job. I have no issue with that. It's called the free market. My issue is and always has been about pensions. They're unsustainable, and unions have no solution other than funnel contributions to politicians who will kick the can down the road. California is going out of business partly due to this problem.
Earl Elevant
11:21 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Pensions are part of the pay and benefits that attract the best candidates for the jobs.
That's part of the free market you're talking about.
Take pensions away and you're on the road to making some of the most important jobs in our society "crappy" by your standards--and thereby attracting less than the best candidates.
After all, if they could work for the same pay and benefits as someone who sits around in an air conditioned office all day with much less stress, why would they volunteer to put their lives on the line on a daily basis, dealing with other people's crap?
The answer is the pay and benefits--pensions included.
Evan Hammersmith
2:25 pm on Wednesday, July 18, 2012
Earl, you're not even close to being convincing. If someone doubled my salary and dropped my health insurance and 401K matching, It wouldnt make my job more crappy and attract lesser candidates. It's no different for any line of work. The pensions are not sustainable. The double dipping by govt workers is not sustainable. I realize you're a schill for unions, but you need to work in the private sector for a little while and realize it's not all that different. Cops put the lives on the lines, but so do airline pilots, high rise window washers, and crab fishermen. Lots of jobs have risk, and pensions are not the only way to attract good candidates. Think for yourself for once instead of reading from the union script.

Anyone who even "thinks" himself intelligent will vote against Brown. Republicans aren`t Union Busting---the Unions are busting themselves---thier policies and practices are more than they can swim with, and they are drowning in their own red ink.
Tom, Brown has repeatedly stated, he is proud of the vote for O-blamo-Care and would gladly do it agqain!

More than 1,500 new and revised entries reaffirm Col. Mark M. Boatner III's Encyclopedia of the American Revolution's second edition as an enduring classic. This A-to-Z ready-reference profiles both lesser-known and famous battles throughout the period 1763-1783. While interesting biographies of key participants comprise about one third of the two-volume set, the majority of articles cover campaigns and strategy, battles, skirmishes, naval actions, weaponry, political issues and events, popular legends, and the participation of the European powers.

Storm Repair Crews Kept Busy
By: Kevin Flanigan
Updated: October 31, 2012
A number of home repair companies reported on Wednesday that their phones have been ringing off the hook for the past couple of days.
A two man crew making emergency repairs to an Altoona home on 19th Street near 23rd Avenue said that they have been running from job to job since the storm eased up. With plenty of damage reports and job orders flowing into the home office, one general contractor says it is all the company can do to keep up. That because many homes and commercial buildings suffered extensive damage.
Workers on a different Sandy repair job in the City of Altoona say more work is being offered to them before they can finish their current assignment. But approaching winter weather is another concern for some of the home repair workers. They say their future jobs may be limited by weather conditions.
Workers pointed out that when snow starts flying, it is hard to complete roof repair jobs. Some of the work offered to them might have to wait until spring. Because of demand for assistance, some home repair companies in the region are now focusing on emergency repair jobs at least for the time being.

Marketplace Deals makes bargain hunting easy
We've covered the WP7applist app before – it's an excellent way to browse apps, find price drops, etc. Our friend Luigi Violin – who runs WP7applist – has another Windows Phone app that should appeal to bargain hunters out there. It's called Marketplace Deals, and it's free.
Marketplace Deals, as the name implies, lists games and apps that have dropped in price or gone free. Each deal category is sorted by date, so you can easily find the day's new deals. It even labels expired deals. Categories include Popular deals, Apps Gone Free, Top Rated sale apps, Xbox Live sales, and all Deals. Tapping on an individual app or game takes you straight to its Marketplace page for download.
The Marketplace Deals app is just about everything you could want in a deal-finding app. Still, an update is just around the corner that will add the following features:
- Live tile(s?) support
- Option to hide expired deals from the lists
- Share deals via social networks and/or email
Luigi loves user feedback and will be happy to include any good suggestions you send his way – just follow the app's Contact Us link and drop him an email.
Marketplace Deals is free and supported by advertisements at the bottom of the screen. You can grab it here on the Marketplace. WP7applist is also free, and located right here.

I am glad to see that they were able to phase out the enslaved children. usually that is a big worry i have with apps. they never report how many enslaved children there are in the app even though you know that those children are there. hopefully this starts an entire wave of reduced app children slavery. every little bit counts!
chaotikchiken says:
Haha! That looks like WPC put that in since they had their logo in that image. I feel like someone might be losing their job...
freestaterocker says:
Note: there are still enslaved children, just fewer than other WP sites... :D
damielrohie says:
Yes but it is the reduction. they have the least amount of child slavery. you have to start somewhere, and less is preferable to more!
damielrohie says:
Exactly and it frees them up for science experiments to create the next evolution of man/woman.
Nataku4ca says:
lol that was the first thing that came into my mind as well :P
danm it, free the children wpcentral
Dormage says:
Helps a lot ty!
agm353 says:
? Slavery ?
freestaterocker says:
LOL now THAT is a great ad!
TashiJLE says:
Great app, stream lines reduced priced apps. Can hardly wait for the update that adds live tile functionality. Thanx

I used the following Ampere rating formula below for determining the magnetic field strength repulsion rather than the attraction between two wires carrying one Ampere of current for a distance of one meter and spaced one meter apart that generates a force of one Newton.
A Newton is defined as the force required to move one kilogram of mass one meter in one second per second..
Fˇ1 & 2 = 2 kˇm x Iˇ1 & Iˇ2 x delta L ⁄ R
Fˇ1 & 2 = Force in Newtons
2kˇm = Magnetic Constant 10-7
Iˇ1 & Iˇ2 = Current in wires
Delta L = Length of wires (force fields) in meters
R = Distance between wires in meters.
I could not post the illustration of this Ampere definition.
Most physics books should have this illustration.
Although this formula is used in defining the ampere, it can be used for determining the force between wires or one wire as well.
Now if we consider using this formula for determining the force generated by an electron as it jumps from one orbit to an inner orbit, we can get an idea of the repulsive force within the photon pulse Fˇ1&2. First, we use only one wire (electron path) by dropping the multiplier, the subscripts 1 and 2 and one current Iˇ2. We use the electron coulomb current rating of 1.6x10-19 and then we determine the distance of the electron path as it moves between orbits by taking its average velocity during a time period of one half wavelength (photon pulse) because the electron moves in one direction only for a single polarity. For the wavelength we use 4.86x10-7 meters (Hb). Delta L would be 6.65x10-10 meters for the length of the electron trajectory.
Fˇph = 10-7 x 1.6x10-19 x 6.65x10-10 ⁄ 2.43x10-7 = 4.38x10-29 ⁄ 3 N
Fˇph = 1.46 x 10-29 m/s/s
I divided the force by three (bottom figure) because the average change in velocity is one third of the total average velocity of the electron. The photon pulse of one half wavelength replaces R in the original formula.
If we use that figure to consider the expansion of the photon to be 1.46x10-29 m/s/s, then we can determine the amount of seconds it would take to double the length of the photon pulse to make Z equal one
Z = λ⁄2 = 2.6 x 1014 seconds or 2.6 x 104 billions of years.
This figure is entirely too low for a reasonable cosmological redshift but remember that this is a force moving a kilogram of mass the distance of the photon pulse. However, it does prove that a photon pulse does have an intrinsic expansion that can move a weight.
The weight does not exist in free space. So the photon pulse is expanding in free space at a much greater rate that would be thousands of times greater to erase the above figure. I will have to come up with a figure for this expansion in free space later.
This mathematical interpretation of the photon intrinsic expansion is additional proof besides the other empirical evidence like the basic electric and magnetic field patterns plus the reality of the existence of the electric motor that uses these force fields should be convincing enough for the skeptics that refuse to accept this photon expansion.

text: I took a 6'0" Spitfire for a demo today after work. It was about head high on the sets, pretty lumpy and fat until it jacked up and dumped on the shore. So not ideal conditions to try out a new board. I got into a few waves but messed up the take off every time. First impressions are that the board paddles well and I can get it into waves. In clean conditions I think I would have had a better surf. I'm tempted to say it's a tad too short for me though. I have the board again for tomorrow so will have another crack at it. The surf isn't going to be anything special tomorrow either though. I may try and demo it again at the weekend when it go's offshore.

Producer Brad Fuller published his first update about A Nightmare on Elm Street on his blog, and included this picture of the Springwood Police cruiser. Check out what he had to say about the film's progress below.
So last night was one that I won't forget. We've been shooting in Chicago for two weeks and I've got some great stories to tell, but last night was the first time we filmed Freddy - the first time that we saw Jackie with all his wardrobe and make-up.
It was insane.
Jackie is playing to role with incredible intensity. His Freddy doesn't tell jokes, he is simply terrifying. His make-up is so awesome - obviously there will be elements that you all know so well, but there have been advances in make-up and he truly looks like a burn victim.
It is challenging to have a normal conversation with him because he looks so scary. And if that's not enough, he talks with his hands a lot and at one point he pointed to me with the glove and it was terrifying.
Today we are shooting in a prison. It's not my first time in a prison, but fortunately every time I've been in one it is because we are shooting there. It's always weird though.
The picture you see below is of one of our Springwood police cars and was taken on Friday night when we were shooting a scene when a couple police cars converge on a house.
More later.

A Community of Exceptional Nurses
The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) is dedicated to meeting the needs of its members who care for acutely and critically ill patients and their families. AACN provides practice and educational resources as well as professional support for members and is guided by its mission statement: Building on decades of clinical excellence, the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses provides and inspires leadership to establish work and care environments that are respectful, healing and humane.
AACN is dedicated to creating a healthcare system driven by the needs of patients and their families where critical care nurses make their optimal contribution. The key to AACN's success is through its members. Therefore, AACN is committed to providing the highest quality resources to maximize nurses' contribution to care for acutely and critically ill patients and their families.
In 1975, the AACN Certification Corporation, with its own AACN-appointed nine-member board, was established as a 501(c)(6) corporation. The mission of the AACN Certification Corporation is to provide comprehensive credentialing for nurses to ensure their practice is consistent with established standards of excellence in caring for acutely and critically ill patients and their families.
The primary purpose of the AACN Certification Corporation is to promote and enhance consumer health and safety by establishing and maintaining high standards of professional practice excellence through certifying and recertifying nurses in the care of acutely and critically ill patients and their families.
The publication of the AACN Synergy Model for Patient Care, which outlines a model of certified practice that is based on the synergistic relationship between nurse and patient characteristics, has had a dramatic impact on how certified acute and critical care practice is conceptualized.
As a leader in credentialing, the AACN Certification Corporation is dedicated to fostering optimal health outcomes for acutely and critically ill patients through the creation of trustworthy healthcare environments where the knowledge and competencies of nurses are driven by the needs of patients and their families. The AACN Certification Corporation board of directors, in partnership with AACN, has adopted a strategic plan that includes implementation of strategies to expand the use of the Synergy Model in practice.
The InnoVision Group was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of AACN in 1996 to provide an additional nondues source of revenue. The fundamental mission of The InnoVision Group is to support the mission and vision of AACN, its sole shareholder, by generating profit from providing services to select niche markets in order to strengthen the association's financial security.
The InnoVision Group offers specialized services in publishing and circulation management, and is governed by an AACN-appointed board of directors consisting of three members, including two outside directors and AACN's chief executive officer.

Did Paris Roubaix last year. The same course as the pros race. So, that was 260km. We first had a dry road but after a while it start storming. The cobbles became slippy and we got our real Paris-Roubaix. The Challange is only 162km wat is that?

To make the challenge open to varying abilities the 162km distance seems logical. It still takes in all the iconic climbs and roads of the race, but gives more people the chance to finish!

22nd December 2010 07:05pm
For me the victory is worth more when the challenge is greater.Not everybody have to be able to complete the challenge. That is only forced egalitarianism. You go to the challenge whit a certain number of people. That are the people that you support and help when they need it. At the end you celebrate the victory together. Because one thing is certain, all will suffer.
Riding the 162km is also a great challenge, but it is not the real deal.It is more as the Olympic Spirit. Participating is more important than the victory.
I think two distances are the best option. 162km and 260km.Do not misunderstand me because I really can appreciate the initiative of organizing challenges like this.
And yes the worst part is included because that is the last 50km of the ride. I hope that Arenberg is included. Do not dare to take the tarmac in Arenberg :).You also should not forget the last cobblestones in Roubaix just before the Velodrome in the middle of the road. I wish the participants good luck.
(I hope my English is not too bad ;) because it is not my mother tongue).
